    I don't know about that. Reception to most of this Direct seems to be positive, they have a literal 10x sales advantage and 150 million people already in the ecosystem.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it sold a lot slower, but half as fast as the Switch 1 is still faster than the PS5 and much faster than the Steam Deck.

    Will PC handhelds gain some ground? Maybe, I'm curious to see.

    Oh yeah sure the deck isnt gonna be a real danger to nintendo anytime soon but steamOS as an operating system is doing great things for gaming on linux and other hardware developers might use it too. SteamOS or at least proton is gonna be bigger than the steamdeck.

      Given Nintendos never on sale pricing I cannot commit to this console. God 90 for a game is ridiculous.

      Not to mention their awful peripherals pricing and chatoic lineup.

        That pricing is really putting Nintendo out of its core market. The reason the Switch was an absolute smash is because it was and remained accessibly priced. The fact they’re charging $450 is really putting them out of the “hey that’s not too bad” audience. This is a wildly bad move on their part.

          120 and 4K are often claimed on console specs but are rarely achieved within games. At best it will be capable of that when playing Netflix or streaming.

          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.

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

              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.

                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.

                Nintendo will try but based off of some of the third party gameplay they seem to be the only ones who will

                  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.

                      I have never purchased a game at $70 so for $80 they can be sure as shit I am hard noping out of this one. I was a day 1 3DS (ambassador club!) and Wii U buyer. Really hope this backfires, so incredibly stupid

                      What's the source for the $80 thing? If it's in the article I'm missing it.

                        Preorder for mk in AUD is $114, fortunately. 😅

                        ...still fucking steep.

                          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.

                              So it's $650 CAD $700 AUD for the Switch 2 and it's $120 CAD $150 AUD for Mario Kart.

                              Holy fuck lol. I'll buy it used in a few years then. This'll motivate softmodders and emulation too.

                                And you'll be sued by Nintendo into lifelong poverty if you use it wrong.

                                Fuck Nintendo.

                                  I won't lie, I'm only interested in the new Pro controller. My old one has slight stick drift which absolutely sucks of course but it's over 7 years old and feels so much better than anything else on the market. I also prefer the Nintendo button layout over Microsoft's so it's an easy purchase.

                                  Have you looked into the hall effect controllers from 8BitDo? They're compatible with the Switch with a very comparable form factor
