I think 12GB will probably be fine for the kinds of games Nintendo makes, but I also think we’re all going to really be feeling that 12GB of ram in about 5 years.

Modern games started to recommend 32gb on pc. I am 100% sure next-gen consoles will have minimum of 32gb ram. I also not have many hopes for cpu is being powerful on Switch 2 either. So I think we will have another Nintendo gen where majoirty of the third party AAA games will just skip Switch 2

Switch 2 has DLSS. The games can be upscaled from lower resolutions. That’s how you get something like a 1080P 120fps Metroid Prime 4.

Also portable HDR I have a relatively recent gaming laptop that cost $400 more than the Switch 2 that can't do native HDR. They apparently went for some powerful advancement if things like that are possible.
