My 3DS, after putting lots of care into it, finally got a few little scratches on the top screen (They're not smudges. I checked >_> ). So I went to their website and set up a repair order. They sent me a shipping label through the e-mail, I printed it out and taped it onto a cardboard box. I placed my 3DS along with a note inside, and have now just finished packing it. I'm going to take it to the UPS store tomorrow, but there's one thing I want to know. Is there anything I need to bring with me other than the box (Such as receipt or w/e), and do I need to tell them anything?

I have never ship a Nintendo product out to have it repair. But for shipping through UPS all you need is a prepaid label stuck/taped on and can drop it off at any UPS box/location, most of the time you won't have to say anything. This is the same for USPS as well as FedEx.
Make sure you follow the return instruction as some companies will require you to include a print out of your service numbers, or write the service number on the box.

    Latest Switch 2 leak says it will have a LCD, not OLED, run most games 40fps max, and only be 1.5 tflops handheld, 3 tflops docked. That's less than the steamdeck at 1.71 handheld, 3.1 docked.

    Switch 2 LCD is about like TN type compare to old Nintendo Switch LCD before. Also games running on 40 FPS look not good for us and people. 60 FPS are best for normal everyday gaming. That's weird. I think should not buy Switch 2 because it like Switch 1.5 something like that. Little improve but not major improve. I think going to skip it.

    Yea that's just rumored but not sounding that impressive for a next gen upgrade. Of course Nintendo is very good at optimization of their games to play well, but for a $400+ 2025 console I expected a little better. Even a $299 2020 Xbox Series S has 4 tflops.

  • Anrei @ Anrei:
    I thought it was supposed to be on par with an xbox 1 in power, why is it running most things at 40fps lol
  • Anrei @ Anrei:
    in terms of power I thought it was a 2.0 compared to the switch man 40fps sounds whack is there poor optimisation or something?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Just rumors/ leaks. We will find out in a few weeks. But yea prob way underpowered to save battery, for longer playtimes, like Switch 1 is.

    I'd use lemuroid more often if games didnt look blurry even with the "sharp" filter on

    I honestly forgot GBAtemp has ads

    I wouldn't be surprised if the staff forgot too

    @Kirbydogs, most staff members are patrons so it's understandable

    Teraflops are not necessarily indicative of real world performance, especially when compared across different architectures. The Switch 2 will also be smaller/lighter than the Steam Deck so it's performance has to fit inside a much smaller thermal and power envelope. Using a 120hz VRR panel means 40 fps locks can be an option in handheld mode, which will be a noticeable upgrade over the current 30 fps standard on Switch 1. Games could also go uncapped and leverage VRR to keep things smooth.

    Call me a filthy casual but I really don't notice the difference between the last few generations of consoles, and pushing specs just for the sake of bragging rights is really pointless.

    With a bit of emulation upscale magic, I'm OK playing old games lol

    I still don't see the difference between PS4 and PS5 other than the loading times
