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

High refresh screen and 4K support is a surprise to me, that's very nice when it comes to Nintendo standards.
On the other hand, It's very weird that they didn't announce a price at the showcase... It sounds like this might be more expensive than what everybody's expecting it to be.

Looks like $629.99. Never sure if it's CAD or USD but my Nintendo account is Canadian.

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

Yes, for all but the simplest games it will be one or the other, not both at once.

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.
wrote 15 days ago last edited byThere was fine print at one point during the stream that specified that 4K will be limited to 60 FPS.

No way in hell Nintendo would come out and talk about exploits in their game console. Also if they knew about it they'd fix it first.

wrote 15 days ago last edited byThe en-ca in the URL means nothing as I've bought from .ca websites and been charged in USD before. To be fair, it wasn't a large company like Nintendo but it still happened. Fastest cancel I've ever done. So, Unless it's explicitly called out next to the price or I've bought something from there before, I usually assume it's USD.

wrote 15 days ago last edited byIt's both not unexpected and actually pretty reasonable, considering how similar hardware on PC handhelds stacks up.
I'm more upset at the nickel-and-diming of resolution and performance upgrades for Switch 1 games, to be honest.

I hope this console flops because of this alone.wrote 15 days ago last edited byThe reporting I'm seeing puts it at 40 if you buy the console bundle. Which... I mean, why wouldn't you?
I'm not sure what the deal is with the physical version, I have to assume it's some collector's edition deal with an Amiibo or something. Can't imagine they straight up double the price if you want to buy the card in a box instead of bundled with the console. Waiting on official prices for all of it, in any case.

No OLED, no sale.
wrote 15 days ago last edited byYeah that's driving me crazy too, it's 2025 and it's an obvious marketing gimmick to withhold the OLED at this point
