Or it's actually running at 720p30 and being FSR/framegenned into a blurry shimmery mess. There's no way Nintendo managed to cram a chip powerful enough to render its own Switch 1 games at true 4k120 into a tablet.

Bet they priced it that high to get ahead of any tariffs that might affect them. Consumers really don’t like to see price hikes right around a launch. Plus they still want to milk the Switch 1 since they probably have a very healthy profit margin on that machine. This price makes the Switch 1 look very appealing for people who still haven’t bought one.

The Steam Deck is getting long in the tooth. New triple A games don’t run very well on it or aren’t even playable. It’s fine if you wan tot run older games or indie games, but otherwise you might have to look for one of the competitors.
-
I don't actually think that $90 for a game is ridiculous nowadays, if the game has tons of content.
But a company of Nintendo's size, with their sales volume, selling a game for $90 when it only has a few hours of content? Fuck off
They're like the exact opposite of the spectrum from Minecraft

Until March 31st, 2026, the GameChat system will be available for free for all Switch 2 owners
Is this so they can lock it behind the subscription after this? Along with all the other new features, not worth it for me. Getting the steam deck once I can't get anymore physical games on the switch 1.

What's the source for the $80 thing? If it's in the article I'm missing it.
-
Also it's a "preorder"
-
Can’t wait to never buy one. My switch has tears and BOTW on it, and those are the last games I’ll buy from Nintendo so..
-
Either that, or the powerful gaming PC you put the Switch 2 money towards that will eventually emulate the Switch 2. Seems like a better investment than buying a locked down console with a GPU less powerful than a RTX 3050 that can only play $80 games.
-
Holy fuck lol. I'll buy it used in a few years then. This'll motivate softmodders and emulation too.
-
When has Nintendo sued someone for using something wrong?
-
Why are you guys mad at Nintendo now?
-
Their penchant for lawsuits
-
Legion Go (Debian) for me
-
Same reason the ps3 fumbled the announcement and failed at launch. They got too greedy

Scroll down a good amount, 79.99$ MSRP for Mario kart world. Thats not a guarantee they'll all be 80$. The new donkey Kong is 70$. No official word on other games, though.

Nah the direct didn't claim 4k at 120.
You get 1080p at 120, or 4k at 60.

their legal action against emulators and DRM circumvention. they have the audacity of allowing people to play their games which were legally purchased on unapproved hardware.
