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

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.

"$450 is an insanely high price for a new console, so I'm going to buy a $400 2 year old console instead."
It's a 60Hz vs 120Hz screen, and it's got true 1080p resolution. It's certainly on-par with the Steam Deck in terms of performance and performance per dollar. The price isn't ridiculous by any stretch.

Nintendo US website. Mario Kart has an MSRP of $79.99. Donkey Kong has an MSRP of $69.99.

"$450 is an insanely high price for a new console, so I'm going to buy a $400 2 year old console instead."
Sure. But it's also a choice between a library that will forever cost $70 00-$90.00 per game, and a game library infamous for game sales so good that an average player cannot finish their library because the seasonal sales are too good to pass up.
-
How good is it? Does everything work like on the deck?
-
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 1080p120 into a tablet.
Fixed.

While you’re not literally wrong adjusting for inflation, their “value proposition” is a bit out the window. It’s so close in price to comparable tech, it seems like a much more serious purchase. Nintendo hit it right with the Wii and the Switch by pricing competitively low. The Switch 2 should follow the same value quotient to be a runaway success. This is effectively what killed the Wii U. The Switch 2 could be destined to follow the same fate.
Even the mental trickery of “$399” would be more effective than “$449” for Nintendo in the long run. They have to question whether that $50 is worth losing marketshare. I think if they are keeping the game prices and (potentially) the cost of services like online higher than the entry point of buying the system should be lower.
