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.

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.

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.

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

No OLED, no sale.

There’s a price on the UK official store: £395.99 for the system. £429.99 including digital copy of MKW.

Preorders open on 8th April.

Nothing yet on the US store. Tariffs threw a wrench in their plans, I reckon.

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

$449, $499 with Mario Kart digital.

[simple@lemm.ee]

I just saw this getting reported. Oof. That's not a great price.

[skankhunt42@lemmy.ca]

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

[simple@lemm.ee]

That's CAD, it's $450 in the US.

But how does Stardew Valley run?

[somethingburger@jlai.lu]

90€ for Mario Kart I hope this console flops because of this alone.

[satyrsack@feddit.org]

Can the launch model be rooted?

[simple@lemm.ee]

Nobody knows yet.

[chozo@fedia.io]

There was fine print at one point during the stream that specified that 4K will be limited to 60 FPS.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

You're looking at the en-can page. You're in Canada. It's CAD.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

Do you think Nintendo would announce that?
