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

That’s $4.17 a month.
...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.
-
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
-
To the gsync comment, the Switch 2's screen also has VRR
-
I hope at the very least it forces them to drop it's price
-
Where did you get $150 AUD from?
-
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?
-
Nintendo is one of the last game companies that actually release a finished product that’s not filled with micro transactions and your mad that they add an extra $20 to the price of something you will likely put hundreds of hours in as prices of everything have increased. Would you rather they release it for $60 but you have to pay an extra $5 for each character/vehicle/map like all the American companies are doing it
-
It doesn’t matter if it’s data, tariffs are meant to be protectionist so you could easily say that since Nintendo is headquartered in Japan or because the majority of their workers are in Japan or because their name sounds vaguely Japanese that all sales of their product in insert country here has to pay an additional 10% tax
-
person just unironically said they pay nintendo 5 bucks a month for the privilege to play a curated list of 40 year old games you can quite literally find anywhere online. That's 60$ a year to access an emulator they probably have less than 10 hours of playtime on. There's just really no justification for Nintendo anymore, BOTW broke me and I had to be talked into it.
-
cough amiibo cough
seriously though, Nintendo knows what they're doing with their new limited scarcity tactics with trying to stay relevant. I think you'll be able to find physical SNES games easier than switch 2 games in 30 years.

And yet switch 2 can on 10 year old phone hardware.
