Nintendo Switch 2
Sort:
thoughts?
Basically Nintendo is replacing an archaic tablet with crappy old nvidia internals that can only play switch games well… with an tablet that will be the same in 2 years or less, and no clear signs of what they are going to do in terms of retro game preservation. If it’s equivalent to what they did with the switch 1, making it a secondary priority as an attempt to polish the garbage that was switch online, I’d call it a disappointment just like I consider the original switch to be a disappointment. Nintendo is lucky their games are so good, because their hardware, company policy and opinions regarding older games is just pathetic

"their games are so good" good enough reasoning for me. I'm neither better than absolute garbage at every game I touch, nor do I need high fps or good graphics to enjoy a game, so I don't really care about the shit specs.

Why are you hating so bad. The specs for the switch 2 haven’t been released yet but it’s speculated that it will be better than the steam deck. Plus I care more about the game than the hardware

That’s pretty expensive, damn.
You should just buy a PlayStation 5 with that kind of money.

tru but some prefer portablility, plus nintendo exclusive games. i do agree tho, but i think the better choice would be to save for a gaming pc and build that instead.
I bought mine, but it was a lot of money that I had to save up over a long period of time. Building a PC is most expensive, but I’d say it’s worth it, especially considering you can both game and do whatever else you want with it so easily.

Ooh interesting. I only remember hearing some thoughts on the new joy con styles… I wonder about the lite switch though. Will they do it again?

As do I. But that doesn't make their services or hardware any better. You do have a point that the specs aren't out yet, but "better than a steam deck" is impossible unless they not only outperformed it graphics wise but also allowed for playing games from other systems, pc games and so forth. And they would never do that, as proven by switch online and how long they waited to update the hardware at all. Really they should just become a game studio and focus on making games alone instead of forcing people to pay for extremely overpriced hardware just so they can have the privilege of playing their games.

Becoming a game studio would be a massive fumble. They make so much money off of having all of their games exclusive. Besides, the switch 2 will definitely be much stronger than the original one, that was 2017. They also have more handheld competition.
