Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed

[simple@lemm.ee]

They announced Metroid Prime 4 will be able to run at 1080p 120fps or 4K 60fps when docked. It doesn't have the most impressive graphics or anything, but it sounds like they're actually going to try doing it for a few games.

[murrayl@lemmy.world]

Yes, for all but the simplest games it will be one or the other, not both at once.

No OLED, no sale.

There’s a price on the UK official store: £395.99 for the system. £429.99 including digital copy of MKW.

Preorders open on 8th April.

[simple@lemm.ee]

Nothing yet on the US store. Tariffs threw a wrench in their plans, I reckon.

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

$449, $499 with Mario Kart digital.

[simple@lemm.ee]

I just saw this getting reported. Oof. That's not a great price.

[skankhunt42@lemmy.ca]

Looks like $629.99. Never sure if it's CAD or USD but my Nintendo account is Canadian.

I think I might buy a steamdeck instead and just hope that the fromsoft game is a temporary exclusive

[simple@lemm.ee]

That's CAD, it's $450 in the US.

But how does Stardew Valley run?

[somethingburger@jlai.lu]

90€ for Mario Kart I hope this console flops because of this alone.

[satyrsack@feddit.org]

Can the launch model be rooted?

[simple@lemm.ee]

Nobody knows yet.

[chozo@fedia.io]

There was fine print at one point during the stream that specified that 4K will be limited to 60 FPS.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

You're looking at the en-can page. You're in Canada. It's CAD.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

Do you think Nintendo would announce that?

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

If you don't have autorun on you just hold the stick all the way in one direction.

[fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Only time will tell.

No way in hell Nintendo would come out and talk about exploits in their game console. Also if they knew about it they'd fix it first.

[skankhunt42@lemmy.ca]

The en-ca in the URL means nothing as I've bought from .ca websites and been charged in USD before. To be fair, it wasn't a large company like Nintendo but it still happened. Fastest cancel I've ever done. So, Unless it's explicitly called out next to the price or I've bought something from there before, I usually assume it's USD.
