Don’t understand why anyone even wants this underpowered, overpriced, uninspiring piece of shit. If mobile gaming is that important to you, just get a Steam Deck and install the inevitable Switch 2 emulator on it.
Idk why people seem to be personally offended by other people wanting something
*insert stop having fun meme
It has the Nintendo logo on it.
Some Nintendo fans I’ve seen: “But Mario Kart World Open world with 5 second P switch missions where you collect coins and race cows!”
Mario Kart is a good reason to buy Nintendo consoles.
I have switch 2, n imo new Mario kart underwhelmed compared to 8
The Switch 2 is more powerful than the Steam Deck… For now.
I do hope Valve can count higher than three with the Deck…
They’re at 1.5, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Don’t tell me what to do! >:V
Seems more to me like they’re gonna get the ball rolling then rely on 3rd parties making the consoles.
Like they’d rather do what Android did and get their OS on as many different types of hardware possible rather than locking you into buying only their hardware.
That’s how it looks to me, anyway.
I love the Steam Deck, but if competition comes along and makes something with better hardware and repairability then we all benefit in the end, and Valve benefits even moreso if that new thing comes with SteamOS.
It’s the repairability that concerns me. Valve has been very open about their hardware, even giving support to those with the intention of modifying their Steam Deck. I haven’t seen any other company sell hardware like that.
Are you sure about that? After seeing the specs of the Switch 2, I’m convinced that Nintendo put the weakest hardware they possibly could get away with putting in a modern gaming device. I mean Nintendo literally lied and said that it could run games at 120 FPS, when a 4090 can’t even do that with literally 10x more CUDA cores.
I mean I believe you, but are you certain that it’s actually more powerful than a Steam Deck? Regardless, it doesn’t matter because Steam Deck 2 is on the way. Just buy that one when it comes out (or stick to desktop gaming like me if you don’t need to game on the go.) Nobody needs a Switch 2.
8 core ARM processor for the Switch 2, custom-made by nvidia. I played on the Switch 2 on a 4k monitor, pretty sure upscaling was involved, but it’s very smooth.
Pretty sure a Deck 2 would significantly out-perform the Switch 2, but I haven’t heard anything about the Deck 2 yet.
Actually, looking at raw specs… the Switch 2 seems to have almost similar specs to the PS4… except it’s ARM, and the Switch actually has more GPU compute cores. And since the Steam Deck can’t emulate the PS4…
It runs games at 120fps when it uses DLSS to render games only at 720p maybe. Massively doubt that it runs 120fps 4k native raster.
More like 240p lol. In most modern single player games games, my 4090 can’t maintain a steady 120 FPS at 4K, even with DLSS Performance (which at 4K is upscaling from 1080p).
So either Nvidia made a special version of DLSS for the Switch 2 that is more extreme than DLSS Ultra Performance (which is going to look like shit on a giant 4K TV), or Nintendo is just straight-up lying. I’m banking on the latter.
Well I have a GTX 1080 Ti and I can get 120fps raster graphics (without RayTracing, usually maxed out settings in games released nefore 2020) in 1080p ultrawide. Maybe something is wrong with your 4090, or the games you play are unoptimized or something.
I don’t doubt that the Switch 2 can actually output 120fps at 4k in some games, because if it couldn’t that would be a losing lawsuit for false advertisement. But since Nintendo never really said how it achieves that, I am guessing it uses DLSS to render the actual game at a sub-1080p resolution and upscales it to do so. They said 120fps 4k, but they never said without artifacting or reduced image quality.
LOL no you can’t, not without turning down graphics settings below Ultra. I would know; my last GPU was a 1080ti.
Sound to me like a you problem, because I absolutely am getting 120 fps on Ultra settings in 1080p Ultrawide. Maybe you built your PC wrong or you got a faulty PCIE slot on your motherboard, or your installation of your GPU is a little… forceful… I don’t know. But games like Cyberpunk 2077 definitely hit that on Ultra without RayTracing.
I mean Nintendo literally lied and said that it could run games at 120 FPS
It does run games at 120fps. Metroid prime 4 is supposed to run at 120fps when it releases.
Bro got the Switch 2 drop but he didn’t even pick up that Knife of Slashing +3. What a noob.
Is GTA on Switch?
Fucker even had a sword on him
He also dropped other perks you can try to pick up, if you have enough inventory place left.
Bro probably spent hours grinding before that drop
That’s a lot of effort put into getting a console with little value. Maybe wait till after it’s hacked in… Oh… Like three years or something.
I mean the easiest switch to hack is the release day switch. And this is a pretty common pattern across all consoles including playstation and xbox. Generally the earlier hardware+earlier firmware will give you the best chance.
Yes, that’s why some over at GBATemp aren’t updating their switch and poking at it. But it’ll still take a while, and “while” is measured in years usually.
There’s a good chance that those with banned switches will be more motivated to find vulnerabilities in the system. Or give their banned switches to those that like finding vulnerabilities.
Also, just because some vulnerabilities are found, doesn’t mean that piracy is a guarantee; there was some drama with the 3DS, and then later with the Switch 1, with the people who found vulnerabilities and built hacks not wanting their work to be used for piracy. Piracy only started becoming a thing, then, when other parties replicated (or surpassed) the original hacks and made it available for piracy. This caused some of the hackers to to leave (I think one of them was RXTools. Luma3D far surpassed RXTools).
My point is, usually the launch model has the most value, often costing a premium even in the second hand market.
Yeah imma wait until Ryujinx 2 comes out lol
Probably won’t ever get a Ryujinx 2. I’d keep an eye out on Torzu.
However, the system will have to be hacked and decrypted first, but as of right now no real vulnerability has been discovered.
Are you a hobbit? Cause that’s a dagger/knife.
No, that’s a knoife!
It looks like a Badgarlass
Based on the pommel and cross guard, I’d say it’s a short sword.
What short sword has a handle that makes up nearly half its length?
The handle doesn’t look that long to me. The blade looks to be at least twice as long as the hilt - and the hilt looks like it could only hold a single handspan comfortably.
Haven’t checked since launch, is it still hard to find?
Just picked one up from gamestop, and it was the only one available from any store within the last two weeks in a 50 mile radius.
Sounds like I’ll still be waiting then, thanks.
The systems weren’t hard to find on day 1. The overpriced accessories were all sold out, though.
It’s as easy as taking a switch 2 from a baby!
…exactly like that as a matter of fact.
Didn’t work out well for Mr. Burns.
