What's the point

What's the point

Nintendo has an audience that doesn't buy consoles or games on PCs

The point is they can

portable and lets me suspend the game any time, letting me play it whenever i feel like without feeling like a chore just trying to open the game.

I think your looking for a steam deck. It's also $200-$300 cheaper. And you don't have to pay Mario to use online features.

steam deck cant run mario kart world and its also outdated by now.

if you didn't know both sony and microsoft are developing gaming tablets. it's actually the future of gaming.

lmao steam deck can't even run cybperpunk at a stable 30 and everything set to low.

Captive audience in their own bubble. It doesn't matter it came out 5 years ago and can already be played portably, it's new to them.

It's 40fps medium-high, better than the Switch 2 can do portably. Why do you fags love lying and working against your own self interest so much?

would love to see gta 4/5/6 on this thing

This is the point

based, steamies write walls of text coping and switch 2 chads can destroy them with a single image

both main game and expansion on the cart

I'm buying it to support physical media

why not just get a laptop

A laptop is not a handheld

no Cyberpunk Kart game mode

Sad

source? the top pic is obviously a bullshot

I'm buying it to support physical media

supports the switch2

Yeah, that's not going to end well.

His gaping tendie anus.

I'm sorry we vegans don't suck nintendo's meat like you do.

t. brown
You should ask Nintendo that

their games are on the fully on the cart and can be played without an install

????????????
are you retarded?

Physical media is going to die no matter what you do, Anon.
It's almost dead already.

You are for not realizing Nintendo's boiling you and physical media alive and instead of fighting back for something you claim to care about, you just bend right over because you worship nintendo above all else

will expedition 33 be on the switch?

nintendo is bad because third parties are deciding to use digital carts, despite nintendo making all of their games 100% physical

let's instead praise the steam deck which doesn't let you own a single game, can't even resell your digital games like those switch third party digital cartridges

If Nintendo were "boiling" them they would have made a digital only switch 2 like MS and Sony did with the PS5 and Xbox. Instead they're the only system with actual physical games that don't require an install.

You have to understand, Sony fanboys aren't exactly rational creatures.

the last of the three systems to keep physicals alive

BOILING ME ALIVE!!

lol

how many physical games on cart does the Deck have?

I wonder what all your copes will be when a Nintendo game inevitably does the same. I'm sure it'll be that you never actually gave a shit about ownership or anything like that, you just like seeing it on your shelf and 'feeling' like you own it.
And that's of ZERO ownership, unlike on PC where you have full access to the games to do with them as you please, but console fanboys are nothing if not disingenuous bootlickers.

Whatever you decide to put on a cart sense you can just copy and transfer them. I know that's a foreign and confusing concept for consoleplebs who aren't allowed to do anything to nintendo's games.

I wonder what all your copes will be when a Nintendo game inevitably does the same

They won't cope they'll just refuse to buy. Something that actually works with Nintendo.

He's buying the switch 2 for one (1) game

Lmao

I like how you're calling people consoleplebs like you even know anything about the deck.

I play exclusively on Nintendo hardware.

You can do that too on the switch idiot

Just like paid online, dlc and censorship

The Steam Deck is like three times weaker than the Switch 2

Not really idiot, it's encrypted to one device, but you probably don't even know what that means

This, why the fuck is Square putting a game as small as Bravely Default as a download code? Why are nips willingly taking shit from their own? Nobody wants physical key cards, they want physical games. I hope nobody is stupid enough in nipland to support practices like that.

So incredibly delusional. The switch 2 is slightly more powerful than the steam deck when in docked mode. The steam deck will outperform it in handheld mode.

moneys
switch wicher 3 must have sold good for cdpr

I'm literally typing this on a deck, consolepleb.

based

Yes. Perfect examples.
NSO not only received criticism and was delayed because of it but it's currently the least used online service making the least amount of money of the 3.
DLC on Nintendo systems was generally ignored prior to the switch because it was overpriced and didn't offer much, so they took a new approach and gave any game they intended to make dlc for large expansions for a reasonable price.
And of course no one bought the censored games on Wii U and 3ds, complained about it and now Treehouse can't do a thing other than sneak in a few text changes and pray that they don't get caught

And none of that would have happened if they just bought into it.
Not really the gotcha you thought it was, huh.

we're gonna see just how much the japs are willing to stand for these "key cards"
square has a habit of fucking over their jap audience and it always bites them in the ass

The deck is stronger portable, weaker docked.

Slightly

I wasn't even thinking of the dock when I made that comment.

Yes, they are perfect examples of the fanbase criticizing things only to bend right over when Nintendo did it. And you're seriously trying to sit their spewing that bullshit in defense of yet another thing every Nintendo fanboy criticized until Nintendo did it. You are the problem.

Then you have no idea what you're talking about. Lol, lmao, and all the other ones.

Then you're just flat out wrong.

physical retard

I own the files on the SSD because they have no DRM - I can transfer them to any PC. Meanwhile the shitch carts are locked to the bingslopper tablet.

only to bend right over when Nintendo did it

Yep, they sure did bend over.
Nintendo I mean.
They actually had to make improvements to bring people back, someone you wouldn't understand because you get fucked by the companies instead.

I pretty much only play on my Switch nowadays so third party support is nice.
I'm looki g forward to getting Yakuza, SF6, Elden Ring and Cyberpunk.

I hope they plan on putting Rivals on Switch 2.

Makes you seethe.

Last I checked you still have to pay for shitty p2p online, garbage dlc practices, and they're banning and censoring games. Among many other things. But whatever helps you take their dick at night.

in defense of yet another thing every Nintendo fanboy criticized until Nintendo did it.

The problem with what you're saying is that they also criticised it when Nintendo did it and only came back when there was a significant improvement or something that they wanted. Hell, the Wii U and 3DS were one gen ago.
You're used to sucking Sony's shit out of their ass with a straw while saying "yes daddy please" that you don't recognise what only buying when your demands are met looks like. If you lot had that kind of integrity then the ps4 let alone the ps5 would have sold worse than the Wii U.

pay for shitty p2p online

What gets me is that it's literally worse than the Wii U's free online. They made it worse and they charged for it.

still buying physical

So people refusing to pay for said online, having games release in full and dlc not being sold piecemeal and no banned or censored games is a bad thing now?

Well, I can tell you were certainly boiled.

I always find it funny you fanboys have to default to Sony as the low hanging fruit despite all the sony ponies turning into switchlets. I grew up with nintendo/pc and I hate them for what they've become and I'm disgusted by you rabid bootlickers who just keep de3pthroating them no matter what they do.

Oh boy he's breaking out the samefagging AND the Wii U praising.

Oh I guess nobody is playing nintendo games online and h6ey rolled that and everything else back. And they definitely listened when people here were begging them to stop banning and censoring shit. Yep.

cyberpunk on switch 2

1080p

lol lmao even
maybe when starting at a blank wall
It's 20-30 fps 540-720p average

I always find it funny you fanboys have to default to Sony as the low hanging fruit despite all the sony ponies turning into switchlets

Ignoring the fact that you have can't prove that, do you know why we go with Sony fanboys?
There are two reasons.
1) you're so dedicated to Sony that it makes you mad enough to retort with the old

I'm not a sony fan I've been a life long fan of xyz!

2) you're the only group that deny facts just to suit your console warring. When was the last time you saw a tendie, xbot or us PCfags do anything like that? Because it doesn't happen, no one else is as caught up in console warring other than you let alone to actually be offended when Sony is insulted like you are.

I'm not sorry an objective fact hurts you. You deserve Nintendo's abuse.

You know the best part about this post? It's just the sans thing you said last time reworded so you've yet to actually make answer.

He says while still defending the Wii U.
It's been over a decade since it came out anon, you need to get over that buyer's remorse.

pick a game you like

put it in the system

play it instantly

god i love physical

You fanboys are all the same brand of retard no matter the corporation you suck off and I enjoy shitting on all of you hypocrites. You can keep your cope, but that's all it is.

The switch 2 slightly weaker in handheld (unconfirmed) but if you add DLSS, VRR as well as the games being more than likely optimized for the switch 2 release CP in this case will probably play better on it than on the deck

your usb-key is not a cart, retard. It does not count as a physical game.

When the post it's responding to is just 'n-n-nuh-uh?!' why would you think the facts would change, snarky-kun?

You fanboys are all the same brand of retard no matter the corporation you suck off

proceeds to suck gaben's fat cock

what did anon mean by this?

They've already confirmed it will play worse in handheld mode and will have worse battery life despite optimizations. Optimization is a cope, we know how well that went for the Switch.

I know you wished you lived in a world where everyone is as gay as you, but it's just not the case. I didn't even mention Steam and I criticize them regularly.

I'm honestly happy the switch 2 is coming out even if I don't plan to get it anytime soon because if more games will be optimized with handhelds in mind that also benefits the steam deck.

It's also $200-$300 cheaper

Show me a Steamdeck thats $150, pre owned doesn't count.

Optimization is a cope, we know how well that went for the Switch.

You're the only one coping just look at all the "miracle ports" the switch recieved. The fact that big companies went out of their way to make their games playable on it despite the hardware limitations proves it not being just a cope.

Because the game is already finished and it's not that much work to port it over. It's easy money.

What miracle ports? You got sold old games for full price that looked and ran like dogshit. Don't make me post that arkham knight webm.

I own the files on the SSD

this bit of plastic storage is better than this other bit of plastic storage

There there, don't cry pepe

It will be the only Switch 2 game that will be on the cart. Which says a lot about nintendo.

besides all of nintendo's game, and marvelous games (atleast in the west)

Steam Deck broke Nintendo's mind. So they are trying everything they can to own the Deck.
It's the same with Palworld and emulators. Even though realistically speaking, Nintendo is only wasting money to win internet arguments.

Non of the launch titles are on the cart except CP2077 it was confirmed by the japanese amazon listing.

it is in the west, confirmed by Marvelous themselves, and Mario Kart is on the cart

Worst ports are still probably Hogwarts legacy or witcher 3. Insane that people paid for those.

more games will be optimized with handhelds in mind that also benefits the steam deck

Maybe in UI department. But it's more likely for devs to just turn down resolution and slap on dlss.

it's cheaper and better than any alternative. there is literally no reason to buy any console or pc other than nintendo switch 2.

Tendies will pay for dog shit if you slap a nintendo decal on it

You realize the Switch is nearly tied for the best selling console of all time and has sold about 25x what the Steam Deck has

To play games on a handheld of course. It's a huge market Nintendo pretty much got on lockdown since 1980

Ohnononononono Deckiebros!

And yet it's sonyfags pushing the deck, pocketpair pulling the "smarr indie deverepur" card and moral pirates throwing a shit fit while Nintendo just ignores their cries

Yeah like the wii u. Oh wait that didn't have a Nintendo label on it.
Good thing the PS5 did

Gives tendies a chance to think they aren't actually playing on a fisher price tablet

I don't think we're ready for the amount of mindbreak and anal pain the switch 2 will create here

constant shilling for deck, mocking switch 2 ports while they run worse on valve's brick, daily links to digital kikery's vids saying it's ps4 level despite it using tech last gen could never use etc etc

can't wait for 8 more years of Anon Babblejeets on suicide watch

Can't wait for more of this!

case in point

this ugly tranny's totk twitch thread should appear somewhere in the next three hours, look forward to it (not)

I can copy and paste the files frognigger, can you copy your shitch cartridge without paying out the ass for special tools?

can you copy your shitch cartridge without paying out the ass for special tools?

Yes actually, it's called using a computer properly.

What computer? You mean the pre-broken ARM tablet that Nintendo is about to sell you at a big fat premium? Better hope they have an "exploit" (a.k.a restoring basic features found on non-cucked devices) on launch day!

but... but muh $80 marioshart paradise ripoff! t..take t-that vegan!

Cool game faggot, meanwhile I'm playing Demon's Souls, Project Wingman and Metroid Prime Trilogy in bed. Can't wait for the Deck 2 to launch in a year or two, maybe I'll check out some Switch 2 hostage IPs once the Switch 2 emulator comes out.

OH WAIT, I'LL BE ABLE TO EMULATE METROID PRIME 4 ON LAUNCH DAY LMFAOOOOO

fuck you......... ACK!!

while Nintendo just ignores their cries

You mean while Nintendo frantically retroactively patents shit and throws around lawsuits like a coward to stifle competition rather than simply make better games after pokemon turned into total dogshit.

Ah yes the famous instance of a retroactive patent that was patented several years before Palworld released before the game even had those features.

Nintendo is smart enough to understand what the deck represents is an existential threat, just like how pc has blown past consoles the last decade. They're just too greedy and stupid to actually be able to do anything about it.

Is that character turning their head to look at something?! Noooo Nintendo sue this le man!!

Thing is, Nintendo are smart enough to undestand that the deck isn't any kind of actual threat to them because they exist in difference spaces of the industry. Nintendo use their games to sell their systems while the deck is a collectors item at best, a novelty.
It doesn't have games to break into their space let alone their games so they don't have to do anything.

Meanwhile everyone else is panicking because it's everything a PS5 and Xbox does but portable making them obsolete.

because gaming laptops are a fucking meme. Either build a PC, buy a console, or buy a PC handheld. Switch 2 is at the power of a modern PC handheld for a very reasonable price.

I'm not talking about the deck specifically, I'm talking about it birthing rapidly improving handheld PCs that do everything a console can and far more while being far better to the user.
PCs became everything consoles should have been, and now handheld PCs have taken away the only thing they had left, portability. The rest all just comes doen to marketing and availability.

Switch 2 is at the power of a modern PC handheld for a very reasonable price.

Only upfront. It's way more expensive once you start buying anything so you can actually use it.

I'm talking about it birthing rapidly improving handheld PC

Yeah, and Nintendo knows that they're nothing to worry about because they don't exist in the core gaming space that they do since they don't have what they offer.
But Sony and MS on the other hand are in a state of panic because they've effectively gone third party and all of their games are on them. No one has a reason to buy a PS5 or Xbox other than brand loyalty which is fleeting.

battery dies in an hour

Switch 2 battery life is literally worse than the original deck's.

other than brand loyalty which is fleeting.

Exactly and there's plenty of ways to lose it, especially when you're courting an aging crowd of casuals without drawing in the children your games are actually aimed at. If you had told anyone 15 years ago Xbox and Playstation would be dumping all their games on PC they'd have laughed you out of the room. Nintendo has one hardware line left, they're now run by total suits, and their investors will eat them alive if the line doesn't keep going up, which it won't as there's not a chance in hell the Switch 2 is as successful as its predecessor.

Is this the usual snoy attack or has actual testing been done with an unreleased product?
I already went through all the “Switch can’t handle it” with Witcher 3 before which later morphed into “the battery can’t handle it” when I played it for hours too, so forgive me if these just feel like deck worshipers struggling with jealousy.

"isn't tied to a internet verification on console"

citation needed

Nintendo came up with the idea of game key cards, if they didn't developers would be forced to put the whole game on the cart

It is by Nintendo's own spec sheet. I'm sorry you didn't know.

Switch 2 can't last an hour and that's a fact

Not to mention you can technically burn the DRM-free version of cyberpunk and phantom liberty from GOG to a blu ray if you felt like it.

There's a physical only version you can buy where Nintendo's key cart bullshit doesn't exist?

Wonder what the first game to do it will be. Splatoon 4? Smash? AC? A lesser franchise like Fire Emblem? A pokemon spinoff? Franchises with heavy online components and multiplayer games are the ideal guinea pigs

Nintendo is much like Apple in that they have a cult like following. Apples base are techlet NPC consumers. Much like Apple, Nintendo's base is made up of non-Gamer NPC consumers.
When talking to a Tendie, never forget who are you talking to really:

Women

Manchildren

Pedophiles

LGBT

Literal Children

Diabetic Betas, Simps, and Cucks

Cyberpunk is the kind of game that I watch seconds of video and can see absolutely nothing that attracts me in the gameplay. The shooting looks like crap, the cars moving around look like a joke, the police chases are horrible, but I don't know, it's a game loved by so many people, maybe it would make a good interactive movie, I don't know.

Insiders claim pretendo is coercing publishers into only using game key cards or the far more expensive 64GB ones. Have a 5GB game? Too bad, you only get a key card or a 64GB one, while they hoard the one with sizes in the middle for their own releases like mario kart world and DK. Still, there's no excuse for shitman and yakuza to be on game key cards since both of those games are around 60GB

he doesn't know

And they nuked w3 into the dirt, I seriously pity people who bought those kinds of crap ports on the switch, what a way to ruin a game

Why would Nintendo do that? What's the point?
Is this an attempt to return to the cartridge production monopoly of the N64 era?

I'm sitting here thinking, 'what's the point' of my Steam Deck I got last year.

Switch 2 is going to have the same portable power and the ability to dock to a tv for full console experience. It will also have working online modes for CoD, Overwatch and whatever other competitive online games I want to play that my steam deck can't currently play due to anti cheat code not working with linux.

Selling all my gaming shit (ps5, steam deck and pc) to just go switch 2 and a gaming laptop.

The mobile era is upon us brothers

He's lying.
Nintendo is releasing all of their games on cartridges to drive their costs down.
3rd party devs are just cheap and opting to use key cards. If not for them you'd just be getting codes in a box.

the amount of mental illness nintendo produce among their detractors really should be studied, imagine pretending that a shithouse "portable" pc is in any way a desirable product because you deluded yourself into thinking this hurt nintendo in some way

I wouldn’t put it past them, but I bet it’s more because on Nintendo’s end they can streamline when there’s only three (technically two) distribution methods: 64 GB cart, digital, and game card (which is effectively digital).

bait used to be believable

You are aware you can do all of that with the deck too right? Just buy a dock (they’re like $30 I think) and install windows.
Please don’t buy a gaming laptop, it’s the worst purchase anyone can make.

Yet it lives in your head rent free because you know they're way better and far more consumer friendly devices.

He doesn't have a deck, he's just seething that it gets brought up against the switch.

yes anon, nothing can take them away from me short of my physical media and its backup crapping all at once. your games are gonna be pointless without internet or after thr online services go down

how do you backup your steam games on the SSD? is it an option from a menu im not seeing?

Then why is guardians of azuma on a 64GB cart despite being far smaller in size?

how do you know its on a 64 GB cart?

To appease investors asking them questions like why the big AAA titles aren't on Switch. Everything about the Direct seemed like it was laser-focused on investors instead of consumers.

Are you under the assumption that Nintendo runs on brand loyalty?

they're now run by total suits,

You're saying that like it's a bad thing, the only era of Nintendo that wasn't run by suits was the Iwata era and the moment they ran out of Yamauchi era ideas the Wii and DS started to tank and let's not forget how the Wii U never took off and the 3ds was only saved by pokemon. Iwata like you, assumed they had loyal fans and ultimately paid the price with two back to back failures.

Nintendo has one hardware line left

Correct, and the switch was also more lucrative for them than any other platform to date even selling more than their last two combined.
By the by, having one hardware line doesn't mean that's all they have, this gen they've been doing everything. Theme parks, movies, more merch than ever etc etc.
As for the shareholders, they're not a concern because you don't have to do anything they say or do better than what you did before.
You argument here will probably be

but they can sue if they don't think they're doing enough to make money,

But the reality is that it's almost impossible to sue on those grounds due to the highly opinionated nature of such a claim and the volatility of the market. It's why you don't see every company die when they fail to recoup losses.
On top of that they have a foolpoof argument in the form of Sony and MS porting their games to other systems and getting nothing out of it other than reduced hardware sales.

But none of this matters to you, you have a clear bias and can't view anything objectively.

Marvelous has stated it out outright, said it was their only option other than a game key card.

if they didn't developers would be forced to put the whole game on the cart

Or they just wouldn't put their games on their system at all like previous generations.

what are digital only releases and cloud versions?

Sega had no issue putting sonic x shadow generations on switch 1 on a proper cart, same goes for kaname date, shadow labyrinth and suikoden and raidou

Are you under the assumption that Nintendo runs on brand loyalty?

No, they're run simply on their brand. They don't actually have that many loyalists. They rely almost entirely on a fickle casual market.

Which should tell you that it's a third party choice.

no they don't run on brand loyalty they just run on brand loyalty

where? i only see the message about it being the full game on cart, not what size the carts are

NTA but they say it on their site, what they don't say however is that the 64gb version was their only choice.

I wonder what the newer ue5 games will be like? Like things like Indy and the new Doom game i can see being really good, but how would it handle something like the new Oblivion remaster or Silent Hill 2 (probably as of right now the heaviest game excluding tech-demo path tracing)

Who are you quoting. recognition != loyalty

Then you're just agreeing with that anon.

To be able to brag it runs mainstream games.
Can't imagine to play something like CP2077 on a tiny screen with shitty joycons.
Must be torture.

I wonder what the newer ue5 games will be like?

Not good. The fact that no such games or games like MHW have been announced is not a good sign.

And you don't have to pay Mario to use online features.

somehow it's a positive that biggest amount of human trash, cheaters and hackers can play multiplayer with/against you

sorry poorfag-kun, I'll rather pay up to keep the huehues, slavs and faggots like you out

Somehow I doubt it, but he didn't elaborate on that point, so who knows. Recognition is far flimsier than loyalty.

The fact that no such games or games like MHW have been announced is not a good sign.

MHW doesn't use UE at all.

I know, that's why I said or games like it.

Recognition is far flimsier than loyalty.

Not really, after all Nintendo is "recognised" for their high quality products.

Anon, MHW is made on the ancient MT engine.
Meanwhile cyberpunk literally uses UE5.

This audience only buys Nintendo games.

Other way around, when you're recognized as essentially the face of video games and as a company where you can only get their games on one system it works more in your favor than brand loyalty.

Yet it lives in your head rent free

no one gives a fuck about the deck which is why every single thread about it here has to talk about the switch in order to attract attention, cope and dilate about it

monster hunter rise is capcom's second highest selling game of all time and the vast majority of the sales are on switch, the target hardware

Shh, they aren't aware that most third party games almost always sold better on switch!

delusional tendies

MH Wilds uses RE engine and cyberpunk isn't ue5.

Yet you seem to care a lot.

paid timed exclusivity while everyone else had the real game

What a mystery how it sold better on the switch

Cyberpunk is still whatever project reds engine is called. New games from them are supposed to be ue5 though.

Nintendo hasn't been recognized as the face of gaming in decades. They're the mario and pokemon company to most people.
