Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed
-
Because they are one of the most consumer hostile gaming companies. The only redeeming quality is their games are usually top notch. I personally refuse to give them any more money.
-
A $400 2 year old console that I can sideload games onto, yes.
-
Yea, except:
-
KDE's built in screen keyboard is broken (Using Steam's keyboard). GNOME keyboard does work fine.
-
Autologin is on and screen locking is off due to a broken keyboard.
-
Manual installation if hhd, steam, flatpak, lutris may required a physical keyboard for first setup.
-
KDE wallet is on to protect (non-file) data. (Wifi passwords, chrome/Firefox login, etc...)
-
JamesDSP is used as pulse/easyEffects may need a reset as the audio may "break" when resuming from suspend.
I didn't want a non-vanilla Debian system (Bazzite), so I chose to manually install Debian and have a nice Debian setup. Besides those issues, everything works pretty good (no crashes, hiccups.)
Are you interested in Debian on a legion Go?

I just hope Tomodachii 2 is available on Switch 1
It is, it was announced for the OG Switch.
-
They're thrusting themselves back into directly competing with Sony and MS with those prices. Bold move in this economy, but they'll probably do fine. I don't expect nearly as many Switch 2s sold compared to the original, though.
-
Their games are usually top notch and their hardware is usually more cheaply priced. Not this time.
-
Just like how online play was originally free on the Switch 1.
-
Consumers also had more buying power back then, so converting the currency doesn't tell the whole story.
-
It's pretty much a guarantee that 3D Marios and Zeldas will be $80.
-
Okay, but why are they charging $80 for a digital game, which tariffs don't apply to?
-
Then why does the rest of the world, who don't have tariffs on Japan, have to pay those prices as well?
-
At least this game may be worth it if it's $/h.
Nintendos game might be <40hours long of pure campaign (excluding open world games like pokemon) -
Got my sream deck. I am fine without a switch.
Nothing lost and if I'd need it, emulation works good enough. -
I mean, I've been using a Switch to play games portably so far. A Steam Deck will be a revelation by comparison.
-
I noticed that Tomodachii was announced for the Switch with a 2026 date. So there will at least be some games still made for it next year as well. A 150 million install base is nothing to sneeze at!
