That asshole company everyone* cares about. My hatred of Nintendo runs deep. But I still watched the direct. I'm so excited for the innovative new features, and the new Mario Kart looks sick. I am disgusted that they will use the money to go after fans. I need help
Yup, new lawsuits, good hackers in jail just for helping retards like me to play a game when we feel like it...me, once a year maybe? Why would I buy a console if I only play once a year?
-
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)That's encouraging prices to sky rocket.
Holy shit yall truly boot lick so hard.
10000% GTA6 will be $100 if Rockstar reads any of these posts.
Setting a bad precedent.
-
Imagine booting steam os on this thing.
Probably not gonna happen since steam os isn't built for arm systems

Brought to you by the losers of the lawsuits... Losers like you and me.

Nintendos but you're too bent over to see.
Really confused by this. I said Nintendo can fuck off.

if you pay for switch online
The more expensive Switch Online Expansion Pass, specifically. That's a big if.
That's $4.17 a month. It's even cheaper if you get a family account and share with your family and / or friends like i do. (I am actually UK, but it seems the US price is the most quoted.) And comes with all the n64 (and the new gamecube) games. Its the cheapest online service of the three main consoles.
Also, to be clear. Im not a big switch guy, and i think nintendo are a greedy company. I mostly play playstation these days but my switch is handy and there are some amazing first party games.

...on top of all the other "It's only $X!" subscription services out there. If it's the ONLY subscription you have, sure, that's not bad, but how common is that?
-
The Steam Deck is... not significantly cheaper?
Maybe, but I already have a large game library and free online play, and can get new games for much cheaper.

The GPU has less than 10% the CUDA cores of a 4090, a GPU that can't hit 120 FPS in most modern games @4K without DLSS. No way in hell will the Switch 2 hit 120 FPS @1080p, not without some extreme DLSS upscaling and some serious graphical compromises... Proper RT is completely out of the question.
This thing won't even be able to keep up with the PS5, a 5 year old console. It will compete with the Steam Deck, however.
That said, I miss the days when Nintendo cared about graphics. But at this point it's been over 25 years since those days. That's almost as long as it's been since I last enjoyed a Mario or Zelda game. Between all this and the fact that they sue their fans, I am so done with Nintendo. I feel like I've outgrown them anyway.

Yes but just imagine

Man I've just forgotten about Nintendo at this point. Microsoft and Sony get that exclusives aren't working when people don't have enough money to buy every system anymore. I see Nintendo as a niche console with a handful of games. There's just not enough to justify buying one, and I grew up on Zelda and Metroid. I love them, but it's not worth buying another console for a few high priced games with questionable performance.
-
Guessing there's a lot of DLSS going into those resolution and framerate specs...
Judging by the bit of Prime 4 they showed, I think their first party titles will just skip ray tracing and use relatively low-poly models.

4k? My 3070 can't even get close to 60fps 4k on most games
-
The real advantage of a 120 Hz screen is that you get a much more graceful degradation if you dip below your fps target for a bit. If you're targeting 30 fps but drop to 25, it still feels pretty smooth on a high-refresh screen, whereas that's appallingly clunky on a low-refresh one. A "poor man's gsync", if you will.
To the gsync comment, the Switch 2's screen also has VRR

90€ for Mario Kart
I hope this console flops because of this alone.I hope at the very least it forces them to drop it's price
-
So it's $650 CAD $700 AUD for the Switch 2 and it's $120 CAD $150 AUD for Mario Kart.
LMAO
Where did you get $150 AUD from?
-
For $50 less, you get a similarly capable machine in terms of specs but more comfortable to hold, with an immensely larger library, and an operating system far more respectful of your authority to do what you want with the machine you bought.
I don't think we know the specs yet, it might be way more powerful than the Steam Deck. I agree though that the Steam Deck is a better value considering the amount of games and their prices.

Digital Foundry has been looking at what tech could feasibly be in this thing for a long time now. They're going to be very comparable in performance.

Thats quite reasonable tbh thanks for answering!

Gotta just be for video playback not games right??
Or maybe 30fps max?
