3 TFLOPs

3 TFLOPs

a Series S is 4.2

$500

jesus christ

it has mario and pokemon though

It's still a handheld, that's fine. The bigger issue is that they're refusing to give journalists access before the official release date. So people are going to have to make blind purchases in regards to launch titles.

muh teraflops

meanwhile a game made with more teraflops looks worse

It's still a handheld, that's fine

So where is their real console then?

You're missing the key piece of information, it has games.

almost twice as much as a deck
I don't want a switch 2 but this makes me want a deck 2 once valve settles on a new design

xsisters... our response?

That is also their real console but the handheld aspect obviously means it will be less powerful than dedicated stationary hardware.

If I was Nintendo I would ask for more, tendies will buy it anyways.

$500 doesn't include the mandatory new $100 SD card format, a second controller ($80), the Mario Kart Season Pass, or your monthly Nintendo Online sub...

Series S is cheaper and won't shit the bed completely when running CPU intensive games.

You say this facetiously but Snoy really is requiring people (trannies) to spend an additional $30 on a stand and $80 on a disc drive for their """Pro""" console that's already $700. That's over $800 just to make it a standard paperweight with no games.

mandatory new $100 SD card format

this thread isn't about the vita tho

Yeah okay, just scan them. I don't care. No, I don't want a protection plan.

finally upgraded to Series X a few months ago after three years of Series S since the S was just not keeping up in new games, way too many games had no 60fps modes, really poor/blurry graphics

nintendo's target for the next 6-8 years is 25% lower than that

geez

MUH MAYRO
MUH ZELDY
MUH POKEYMANS

correction, FOUR years of series S
time flies anons

Hell yeah brother. Can't wait for the new mystery nigga threads, smash bros is going to go CRAZY.

imagine your home console having worse graphics than a tablet lmao

nobody on earth cares about that

try harder, schizo-kun.

still repeating these fake datasheet

you won't see shit with that uglyass lcd

Oof, Darren won't like that.

only third worlders are into Rockstar games
It makes sense there would be hundreds of millions of them

the insane popularity of GTA will never make sense to me

thanks for proving that GTA is the main casualcore game.

still spamming his poor photoshop

kek

the OLED screen is so dark that you get see the reflection of your wife getting slamfucked in the background

still crying over a lcd screen

defending vidya "journalist"

Kys

is cheaper

Who's gunna tell him?

Cause you got autism

The bigger issue is that they're refusing to give journalists access before the official release date

HOLY SHIT I LOVE NINTENDO NOW!

It has Mario Kart. It doesn't even have 3d Mario.

dude I can roleplay cops and robbers but in a video game

linear gradient compression from manually oversaturating the pic, while the rest of the pic is fine.

No light reflection

image off center (more of the hinge is exposed on the right) from when you could at least crop it.

Lighting completely different

Can see the actual screen underneath

This isn't even to fool anyone, it's for other astroturfers to shitpost with.

Bananza is then3d mario

You fucking made me check Amazon, the SS is still 200 eurodollars cheaper in my country.

That one looks lame

At least Forza Horizon 5 can run flawlessly on it in handheld mode.
My Xbox One S is 1.4 TeraFLOPS, and the Switch 2 in handheld mode is more powerful than that, at 1.71 TeraFLOPS.

Nobody optimizes for series S.
Just lower settings until you get playable framerates and call it a day. Nobody buys games on xbox, so why optimize when you're already paid via your gamepass deal

not taking advantage of free advertising

Usually a bad sign and consumers are the ones getting fucked over because you'll have no idea which games have good ports.

launch titles

what launch titles? this thing has launch titles? I thought it was just mariokart

For now.
Series s is confirmed for a price raise

this
why buy reasonable consoles when I can play mario and pokemon?

So you're telling me I can get PS4 level quality games in a handheld... AND IM SUPPOSE TO BE MAD?????

I can't wait for the Steam Deck 2 to be stronger than this. It'll be able to run anything and everything I play on PC. I am looking forward to this future of handheld gaming. I would even say we're entering a new peak for handhelds.

Why does everyone ignore that you also have to buy a screen if you buy an Xbox/PS5 while the Switch already has a screen included?

blind purchases

I'm pretty sure killing squads standing outside gamestops will not stop tendies from buying it at this point. You knew as soon as 10 years ago if you were buying a Switch 2 or not. The Switch 2 could be made of 40% asbestos and 20% radium and tendies will still buy it.

Kill yourself faggot that’s fake

Limitations breed creativity.

you have to buy a screen

maybe because they're not patently stupid and factor in things almost everybody has had for 20 years?

To PlAy ThE XbOnE YOU HavE To OwN A HOuSe!!!! A HoUsE! ThAt MeAnS ThE SerIES GaY Is 400,000 PlUS TiP!

ThAt DoEsNt FaCtoR ThE CaR To gO PiCk It uP!

Get a hold of yourself, dumbass.

Free advertising

I know game journalists spent an entire decade on gaslighting zoomers to think like them, but I still remember shit. Like calling Nintendo homophobic over not having gay relationships in Tomodatchi Life and then a talk show host made Mario and Luigi have an incest foreplay skit about it.

Why get "free advertisement" if they're gonna switch up to a grift every time?

it's pure shit

I can't wait for the Steam Deck 2 to be stronger than this.

2027 and double the price at this point. Beyond tariffs, the steam deck is already struggling to keep a single hour overclocked.

The only thing they get creative with these days is their quality control lmao

Lucky ur Amazon sis still selling low.
It went up about 100 euros officially.

This console just sounds worse and worse

What I mean is that you need extra hardware besides the console, which means it's more expensive, whereas you can buy the Switch and just play it right away. It's stupid to compare the prices of home consoles with a handheld, because the handheld is more complete

Im pretty sure people know what Mario Kart is like

DELETE THISSSSS

The steam fanboy calculation based on the GPU alone like Playstation consoles aren't notoriously less stable to optimize for due to their fucky core usage

Who giiiiveeees a fuuuucking shit.

When it comes to their big releases, Nintendo's creativity shines through.

Funniest thing here is not giant delibird.
It's that the game looks like it's running at acceptable fps.

Retarded Anon Babble troon

Anon Babble troon thinks Nintendo makes Pokemon games.

lmao

Was patched

Bad port also Series S doesn't have DLSS

450$ for a underclocked tablet

never discounts with nintendo

overpriced and defective add-ons like joy cons

3gb of ram for keyloggers and a pay walled stuttery 3fps chat

same 8 years old games even more expensive

80$ games

outsourcing games like Donkey Kong Country Returns on unity

nintendo doomed

Paper Mario GC Remake at 30 laggy fps

Donkey Kong Country Returns cheap edition

Donkey Kong And Mario a GBA game at full price with unity cheap graphics

nintendo destroyed and doomed

You can do "whatever you want", which means you can steal cars and drive like a maniac, shoot people, fight the police and get away with it no matter what you did, and it's set in the US
It's a 3rd world power fantasy

he thinks Nintendo doesn't dictate the standards(or lack thereof) for games that will be released on their platform

he thinks that a release as big as a mainline pokemon game won't have Nintendo oversight in some manner

Pick your poison anon, either Nintendo knows and doesn't care(this game released after SwSh btw), or they are incompetent enough that they allowed such a glaring blemish on their console for one of their biggest moneymakers.

Do they know and not care that the game was a dumpster fire, or do they somehow have no idea in the least how one of the biggest games of their console is developing?

Why do people use still images as some sort of benchmark for visuals and performance?
You can make any game look like on the right with post-processing, the real question is what is the resolution in either of the pictures, is it upscaled or native and does it run 30 or 60 fps

Series S is garbage bro

Also DelTaco and Cheese Pizza 77 and I can’t think of a goofy joke name for Street Fighter 6

PS5

900$ (800$ console + 100$ online) for 480p 35 fps and zero games

Xbox

850$ (730$ console + 120$ for online) for 360p 25 fps and zero games

Steam Deck

PC but with 50% performance for 90% price

Switch 2

470$ (450$ console + 20$ online) for 4k 60 fps for shitload of kino games

Slime Rancher 6

still using SV pre-release to cry over nintendo

still thinking that Nintendo is the one that make Pokémon games

kek

So did Nintendo know the game was shaping up to be a dumpster fire and didn't care, or were they incompetent enough to allow one of their biggest moneymakers to release as a dogshit buggy turd?

the only comparison that matters is vs the first Switch

Why do people use abstract numbers in isolation as some sort of benchmark for visuals and performance?

We have quite clearly seen Switch running games and it's very impressive for a sub $400 handheld barely bigger than a smart phone.

It's significantly stronger than the Switch 2, that's why the one game you will show will be SF6 and nothing else because it helps your argument.

If they were confident in the new system, there would be nothing to hide like this. It's a major red flag, Anon Babble constantly shits on games that don't have their embargoes lift until right at release and we're seeing the same thing here.

Nintendo's reasoning is that the day 1 patch for the Switch 2 is required and they don't want journalists to experience it without that patch but that's another detriment for the customers. It effectively has an online check in to even use it for the first time, it can never be a fully offline console.

fanfiction

Plus 9 days vs a whole month

>he thinks that a release as big as a mainline pokemon game won't have Nintendo oversight in some manner

That is literally the case. Out of all the nintendo-published games, gamefreak and pokemon by extent is the sole exception to this, with them having no oversight from nintendo
They had no idea. Lord knows they would like to, they had some of their offices moved to their buildings, but gamefreak likely has enough sway being the ones who made pokemon in the first place

Ampere based GPU

All theoreticals use a downclocked 2050 4GB instead of a downclocked 3050m

Dishonest as always

NTA but Nintendo doesn't have full control over the Pokemon ip, They can't force Game Freak to do anything.

it has actual games though

You could just say "Nintendo is too incompetent to make oversight on one of their biggest moneymakers part of their dealings". No need to sugarcoat it.

they can't force Gamefreak to do anything

And they could have no influence on the quality whatsoever? Do you actually think Nintendo has no influence at all on Gamefreak?

truth

I actually looks awesome. Like a halfway between Mario and Zelda.

it has mario and pokemon though

Great news for young children.

I can't wait for the Steam Deck 2 to be stronger than this.

It already is lol

It can play Nintendo games. It has no competitors.

I can't wait for the 2027 Xbox handheld to completely trounce this by having the same amount of RAM, more memory bandwidth, allows devs to use more RAM than Switch 2, and FSR 4.0, Microsoft AutoSR, and Microsoft DirectSR completely surpassing the Switch 2's DLSS.

he plays nupokemon

BAHAHAHAHAHA

see

handheld mode

LMAO! I have used my switch undocked maybe three times since I've had it. The joycons could have stopped working years ago and I wouldn't have noticed.
