I think I would wait for a Steam Deck 2 just for the sake of future proof.

Steam Deck OLED is still more than viable. -
I just saw this getting reported. Oof. That's not a great price.
wrote 9 days ago last edited byThe original rumor was true. Way, way too high for me to even consider it, will be getting a Steam Deck.

Can the launch model be rooted?
wrote 9 days ago last edited byUnlikely, but you never know.

So this thing only takes microSD Express cards?
Are there any larger than 256GB on the market?
I have a 1TB card in my Switch 1 and I would rather not downgrade the capacity if there are any options.

Unlikely, but you never know.
wrote 9 days ago last edited byIsn't that generally the case, though? Sure, not day zero, but usually it is only later models that get some hardware patch, leaving the earliest models with the vulnerability.
-
Do you think Nintendo would announce that?

wrote 9 days ago last edited byI think a software exploit is pretty unlikely, but there's a good chance a modchip one might work.

Cool, but the specs reveal I’m most excited to hear is what hardware is required to run Mario Kart World at 4K / 60 fps on a Linux machine. Probably won’t see that announcement until well after June, but it’s also remotely possible Mario Kart World will be available before June as well like TotK was.
-
There was fine print at one point during the stream that specified that 4K will be limited to 60 FPS.
wrote 9 days ago last edited byWell spotted!
I missed that while i was reading the supported resolutions on the screen.

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.
wrote 9 days ago last edited byI’d bet that’s using a lot of upscaling in both modes

But you know that's not gonna be the only $80 game. The next Zelda and 3D Mario are guaranteed to be $80, too, because they know people will pay it. Just like TotK's $70 price point.

Can the launch model be rooted?
wrote 9 days ago last edited byI don’t plan to buy one because proprietary, locked down hardware isn’t a great investment compared to PC hardware that can serve a lot of different purposes, but am eagerly awaiting the news of Nintendo’s well-earned pwnage.

I think I might buy a steamdeck instead and just hope that the fromsoft game is a temporary exclusive
wrote 9 days ago last edited byDefinitely getting a Steam Deck instead. I was waiting for confirmation of the ridiculously high price.

Hopefully they'll be releasing games for both Switch and Switch 2 for a while like what happened with PS4/PS5. I know the flagship games will be 2 only, but other 3rd party stuff.

wrote 9 days ago last edited byWell, "owning," if they're bought through Steam.
Does the Steam Deck have GOG support?

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

It'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.
wrote 9 days ago last edited byIt’s not similar to PC hardware; It uses a Tegra processor like the Switch 1. Which means it’s more like a phone with a less than laptop grade Nvidia graphics chipset thrown in. Unlike the Steam Deck, for instance, which uses an AMD Z processor, a scaled down version of what is in the Xbox and PS5.
