No HDMI 2.1

no HDMI 2.1

no dolby atmos

still no d-pad

paid online

no 3d mario

people are paying scalpers online $700+ for this

But why?

because it is the only console that gets exclusive games worth playing off of pc, and scarcity

If they had a 3d Mario game I would have bought it. Donkey Kong is a poor substitute.

FOMO and people are desperate to feel anything with how shit the world is right now.

That or people are terrified Drumpf's tariffs will make it $600 next month.

This Is why I want one. I couldn't care less about consoles in 2025 but Nintendo actually has exclusives

you do realize that switch's install base is ~150 million, right?
obviously there's gonna be like at least 10-30 million hardcore fans dying to buy it day one no matter the cost (myself included, not a fan, the console and mario kart world just satisfy my expectations)

HDMI 2.1

Why would you need 4k/120fps out of the Switch when it's not even comparable to a PS4 Pro in terms of power?

no dolby atmos

meme to anyone that doesn't have ceiling speakers and the support is ridiculously scarce. Hell, the 5.1 surround sound on the Switch rarely got used even by Nintendo themselves. Atmos is for cinephiles and is wasted on consoles which can't even function as high end 4k bluray systems anyway. The Switch doesn't even have a drive to begin with so the point is moot.

Nintendo being extra greedy and tendies still eating that shit up has been eye opening. I thought that there was hope for consoleKEKS, but they really are castrated as fuck. I am so glad that I managed to build my PC in time.

PC costs 100x a console to make and every game for it is F2P trash with more micro-transactions than gameplay. I've lost interest in PCgaming because even steam is turning into the apple store.

Resellers do stupid things. It happens with all mainstream products. To determine the success of something, it has to be done post-inflation.

can't be bothered with pc gaming
gaming on pc is lame af
will be enjoying mario kart world on the switch 2 and gta 6 on ps5 pro

It has HDMI 2.1. We've known virtually all parts for over a year now thanks to Vietnamese shipment manifests.
It uses Realtek RTD2175N-CG to convert Display Port 1.4 to HDMI 2.1

Tendies are literally retarded.

from the specs leaks and third party showcase (elden ring, cyberpunk, final fantasy, rumored ac shadows port), how powerful do you think the console is compared to xbox, ps and steam deck?

No need to reply to yourself.

THE MASSIVE FUCK HUGE BUNNY OF Anon Babble IS HERE TO REMIND YOU...
What you erroneously refer to as 'consoles' are in fact just repackaged rebranded x86/ARM PC's
I can see your confused and think they're different things, and there is a difference. your PC (that marketing has labled a console) cant play as many games as a normal non-locked down PC despite having all the required hardware to do so.
But they remain just that. PC's. We're all PC gamers.

NINTENDO

SUE THIS MAN

It's more powerful than steam deck raw and DLSS gives it the advantage over Series S.

no dolby atmos

I doubt even 1% of console players have an audio setup that can actually utilize the format

Daily reminder that exclusives are anti customer.
And so are locked down broken ARM PCs.

Don’t care. Still preordered the Switch 2.

You preordered a broken/locked down ARM PC?

Unironically why I won't buy one at launch.

Around Deck level in portable mode and 2x better in docked mode.
It should be enough to run current gen games at 1080p60. We'll have to wait and see how DLSS affects things

>no HDMI 2.1

>no dolby atmos

Nintendo is cheap.

>paid online

Nintendo is greedy.

>still no d-pad

Nintendo knows you're just going to buy a "pro controller" separately for +$85.

>no 3d mario

It has a new Mario Kart unlike Shitch 1. That will be enough for you goycattle.

It will smash sales records.

I don't need it

I don't need it

REEEE I DON'T NEED IT

good, then don't buy it. One more preorder spot for someone else

if gta 6 is coming to the series s, i think we can hope to see it on the switch 2 as well
it will be downgraded, but i can see it happening

no 3d mario (Donkey kong is literally odyssey)

no mainline zelda (reasonable)

has new pokemon

has new metroid

has new mk

no new smash (soon, surely)

i mean it is honestly a decent launch, it's a shame there isn't a giga normie draw title - but anyone who is anyone should be thrilled for MP4

>has new pokemon

But it doesnt

no d-pad

whats the case for this? arent individual buttons better?

It's spitting distance from a PS4 Pro when docked and will likely be close to a baseline PS4/Xbone when handheld, though with a better CPU.

Why do I have a feeling Americans who preordered the Switch 2 will be screwed over by Dump's tariffs either with a long shipping delay or a sudden mass cancelation. I know some Asian companies are no longer shipping to the USA because of it.

We didn't even see GTA V on the Switch

This makes me think it will get most modern ports.

Graphics peaking will help nintendo coast.

MP4 will already run at 60FPS on the Switch 1. If you're that desperate to play it at 4k, you can emulate it. I don't think this is a compelling reason to upgrade at all.

No but the tradeoff is necessary for the joycon to be remotely functional as a controller by itself. Of course, this design feature never crosses the mind of the average Anon Babble user as they never play 2p when portable.

anyone paying scalpers for a switch two is 100% lazy. you can go on walmart right now and get one. on top of that why bother? all it has on release is mario kart.

Switch 2 also has more RAM than the Series S.

Series S has 10GB of RAM but 2 is dedicated for the OS

KWAB! The Switch 2 isn't even out, and it's already mogging Shitbox!

ricky, the impetus of people saying PS4 and xbone were "just locked-down PCs" is that they switched to x86 CPUs after generations of using different architectures. simply because ARM PCs also now exist does not mean every piece of hardware is a PC. it is a gay and uninsightful thing to say as a gotcha.

you can go on walmart right now and get one.

Link? Not showing up for me.

This has always been a fucking terrible gimmick and it'll suck even worse for the larger joycons.

This. And besides Nintendo offers the upgrade patch digitally so if you ever down the line decide to buy a Switch 2 you already have most of the game in hand and lose nothing.

new hardware is better than old hardware

truly nintendo are the saviors of gaming

every game store, literally all of them, looks like complete dogshit if you try to browse through every game that gets released. finding new games through storefronts is infeasible on any platform, you have to scroll through hundreds of jigsaw puzzle shovelware games with AI generated art to find even bad actual games.
there are still decent games released on every platform, even if they're massively outnumbered by shovelware.

I'll tell that at the yearly family gathering after I park the kids in front of the Switch for the 6th time.

You were the kid who made his friends play with madcatz controllers, weren't you?

nintendo fans

pro creating

Nice meme

He wonnered

i have a day 1 switch and its dogshit, i've been ready to replace it for years and skipped OLED for the 2 after being tricked intot he >NEW< 3ds

stay poor

Its the sequel baybee

the losing competition?

stay poor

when he dealt with a dogshit screen for an extra 4 years to save money

Oh ok

switch OLED came out 4 years ago

I usually had two friends over and we rotated with one watching, one playing handicapped and one playing with the "real" controller. It was some FIFA World Cup 2002 Korea edition controller.

this $450 console's controls suck

just buy a $85 pro controller and $?? third party basedcons to make it usable

Why would you buy LCD shite in 2025 and call others poor in the same sentence?

captcha: nw4ah

"it won't sell!"

preorders sold out

"t-tendies would buy it even if it were $1k!

kek at all this copium

no 3d mario

No one cares about 3D Mario, its an unimportant side series. 2D Mario is what everyone wants.

"You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?"
