Something is off. There is "hype" for the Switch 2...

Something is off. There is "hype" for the Switch 2, but it also feels like it's not as pumped up as a previous devices. Why is this the case?

IT'S STILL GOING TO SELL

Yes, I didn't say it wasn't. Just that it seems people aren't as excited for this as I'd expected them to be.

Feels like Nintendo did the bare minimum with Switch 2 hardware. Even the games look underwhelming. Everyone expected a ton of new launch-window games considering how slow the drip feed has been over the past few years on Switch1. I don't know what they were spending their time on but shit is disappointing as is.

It'll be a good purchase in maybe 2-3 years, but at launch this thing is looking extremely "MEH".

People have been wanting a Switch 2 for years now, but there's just too many little things that add up that put a damper on the whole situation, like some games having their performance upgrades locked behind paywalls because they put in some dumb extra feature, or the whole fuckery with the game key cards, which Nintendo just had to clarify that they don't plan to use for their first party games.
I mean, imagine how disgruntled a normie that doesn't follow game news at all is going to be when he loads up his old copy of Breath of the Wild on his Switch 2, only for an open palm to stretch out and ask him for 10 bucks to actually play it at 60fps.

My last console was Wii U, I am treating Zelda TotK & Mario Odssey as launch titles, this is the best console launch of all time. I couldn't be more hyped.

here's to another 8 years of eric seething about Nintendo.

you have to pay for the console

you have to pay for online multiplayer

you have to pay extra to get 30 year old games

you know deep down the next pokemon game will be shit

Why would anyone buy this shit? Oh yeah because people are retarded

cheems.png - 705x832, 324.95K

I didn't want just a stronger Switch. Plain and simple. Everyone else did though so I don't know why they're not as excited.

That's because the direct revealed that Nintendo went full jew.

More expensive than it should be

Jews you on game sharing

Jews you on game pricing

Jews you on accessories

Jews you on game upgrades

Probably some other stuff I'm forgetting.
But people can see that nintendo is being unnecessarily greedy on this one. $80 for mario kart really? You gotta pay more if you want physical really?
Fuck that.
As much as I want to play metroid prime 4 on the switch 2. I will be waiting to get mine second hand.

Because it's shrouded by the controversy of high pricing and there's literally just mario kart to play. Despite the console apparently releasing a year later than intended they have nothing much to show for it

Yes, I didn't say it wasn't. Just that it seems people aren't as excited for this as I'd expected them to be.

what is there to talk about? Like how do you imagine it would look like if people were "more excited" for it?
people have already said everything there is to say about it, now that its coming out in like 2 and a half weeks they just wait for the release

its hard to get excited for a console with shitty specs. i mean what is there to be excited about? the main reason why people got excited for consoles in the past is because they were a big improvement in technology. but nintendo no longer even competes in that space anymore. so a new nintendo console is tech that already feels years old.

he’s on the off-cycle Nintendo timeline

How’s that virtual boy and GameCube? Buy a couple switch 2s because they’ll be worth something 20 years from now.

What does it even do that's interesting? The bullshit mouse controls that won't get much use anyway and apparently cramp your hands up from using it too long?

There was unironically more hype for the OLED Switch reveal
Also no games besides an Odyssey reskin, open world slop and "free" 6fps upgraded

Because Nintendo feels anti-consumer at times. But its a pro Switch, why you wouldnt want that?

Odyssey reskin

It has Odyssey structure but DK alone already plays really different to Mario, let alone the concept of the game

open world slop

Just play classic GP, vro

I was already on the fence after the Switch. The details surrounding the Switch 2 only made it easier to jump ship. I’m fully invested in PC gaming now, and it has been dramatically better than my experience with the Switch.

Overpriced games, fake physicals, charging for the manual, controller button locked behind a paywall, terms of service changes, fleecing consumers through accesories, 480p camera with single digit FPS screenshare, redesigned DK, NoA commited to DEI, "just buy a switch 1", it all adds up.

Ok. And?

I stopped being hyped for it when it became hard to actually buy the thing. I didn't even realize it was coming so soon.

Same OS

Same gimmick

Games look marginally better at best

Another gen of third party support being none-existent or just low effort ports

$80 games

Game Key Cards

Doug Bowser, while not having a direct effect on Nintendo's operation is doing a fucking TERRIBLE job with PR right now

Nothing on the horizon beyond Metroid which we've known about since the Switch launch

Switch 1 is still getting heavy support meaning the first half of the Switch 2's life will be just Switch games but they run a little better

It's anyone's guess how Switch 1 upgrades will work. Will Nintendo drip feed them? Is this it? No one fucking knows

Almost 6 months into Mario's 40th anniversary year and Nintendo hasn't even acknowledged it

It'll sell, but there's not a lot to be hyped about.
t. has one preorderd

Regular gamers aren't gonna pay a $500 (+tariffs +Nintendo subscription +tip) toy console just to play Bing Bing Wahoo.

I don't get the lack of games complaint, we have at least 6 notable releases less than a year into the console, that's comparable with the switch 1 2017 lineup and not even getting into third party

MKW

DK

new zelda musou

pokemon

MP4

air riders

If none of those games appeal to you then that's a you problem, inb4

pokemon and metroid are on switch 1 too

BotW and MK8 were on Wii U, does that mean it doesn't count as a switch launch window game?

Oh boy! Can't wait to play Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring (Tarnished Edition) and a bunch of other games already on PS5, Xbox and PC. I had countless opportunities for sales and everything, but now I can play the worst version of the games on-the-go!

This is why for me. Also Mario Kart's take on Forza Horizon isn't enough for me to care. The bright side for Nintendo and Nintendo fans is that you can view this as an iPhone situation. Sure the newest iPhone isn't that exciting, but it's an iPhone so people will buy it. Same thing with the Switch 2.

its also the same strat nintendo did with the switch 1

MKW is the only launch title. i could see this being a disappointment for owners of the S1 who feel the need to upgrade. its not a big deal though if this is your entry into the switch

None of that compares with BOTW.

Sales wise, mkw blows it out of the water, hype wise, I’d say dk bananza is a pretty good match for it

MKW

Looks marginally better than 8 and ruining the game for the sake of a shitty open world is doing more harm than good.

b-buh turn off the straight roads

All of the track designs are basic and wide to accommodate 24 racers.

DK

Looks on par with a Switch game and despite Nintendo advertising their new device as being 4K 60 or 1080p 120, DK is targeting 1080p docked and is struggling to hold 60.

New Zelda Musou

Most people stopped caring after Age of Calamity was an unoptimized mess and a lot of people are tired of BoTW's setting.

Pokemon

Most people have wised up to GameFreak's slop. It'll sell on name alone but there's literally nothing to look forward to there.

MP4

We've known about it since 20 fucking 17.

Air Riders

We've seen nothing of it which is legitimately concerning. Air Ride wasn't known for its wealth of content. Will Sakurai charge $70 for 8 or so tracks and a City Trial mode?

dk bananza

Forced soul kusoge.

piss-sisters....is it over for us?

What were they supposed to do? Release DK on the same day and cannibalize their own sales? It's only a month after, nigga. There's plenty of third party slop and indies, not to mention the entire catalogue of the switch 1 eshop + physical back compat to play on launch.

the hype feels forced as fuck like the fans are just doing it out of obligation rather than genuine excitement

MKW and DKB are the only games with dates and info on them

zelda musou

Nebulous winter release date with nothing beyond a teaser trailer. And after the BotW one they did that was literally fanfiction why would anyone be hyped for this one? Especially being based on a game no one liked

pokemon

No release date, not much info, and it’s still a switch game which doesn’t necessitate buying a whole new console for. Also modern-day pokemon

MP4

See above

air riders

Nebulous 2025 release date with no info beyond a teaser trailer
We only know much about a few games, everything else is just teasers with nothing more than “stay tuned for more info” which isn’t enough to make someone care. On the other hand the switch release year gave us something to chew on with a good look at a multitude of games, gameplay and all

BotW and MK8 were on Wii U, does that mean it doesn't count as a switch launch window game?

They have the excuse that no one owned a Wii U

d-doesn't count

kay

Pokemon and Metroid Prime 4 are also coming to the original Switch.

slop

"Soulless" 2: Electric Boogalo.

The sequel of not being able to describe why you dislike thing so you opt to use another S word instead.

Cry about it macaco

layton is also coming out this year

Can confirm

eric is getting increasingly nervous as the release date nears.

what is there to really say at this point other than, "im excited for it to come out", the only other option is to get down in the dirt with the other console war fags but im thirty and no longer care cause i can just buy all of them if I wanted too.

Is this the bargaining stage or the acceptance stage Eric has reached?

Grief-Cycle.jpg - 1754x1241, 282.47K

it's not as pumped up as a previous devices

YOU WERE A FUCKING RETARDED UNDERAGE KID 8 YEARS AGO, PROBABLY 10yo SO SHUT THE FUCK UP

"Looks marginally better than 8 and ruining the game for the sake of a shitty open world is doing more harm than good."

You can actually see pop-in in the gameplay trailers, lmao

Releasing more than one big game per month used to be common back in the good old days.

What were they supposed to do? Release DK on the same day and cannibalize their own sales?

Obviously not, but they can’t complain if I or others don’t get a switch 2 day one if MKW isn’t of interest

There's plenty of third party slop and indies

That can be played elsewhere. Anyone who wanted to play CP2077 has already done so, a switch 2 port isn’t gonna be something people buy the switch 2 in droves for

not to mention the entire catalogue of the switch 1 eshop + physical back compat to play on launch

That doesn’t necessitate the purchase of a $450 system for

My biggest issue with it is its weak launch year

Big launch game is a racing game

Big indie eShop launch game is a racing game

Big new exclusive for it later in 2025 is a racing game

Oh well at least Gamecube should be cool....oh, F-Zero, a racing game

im not complaining. i dont own an S1 and get to enjoy all of its backlog when i eventually buy an S2 but i understand why someone would think that its not a good look to have one launch day game.

I absolutely love my Switch and play it every day but might hold off on getting a Switch 2. At least until DK releases on it.

Lmao I see doomposters are already changing the goalpost after the pre-order news

What does it even do that's interesting?

It has games. All Switch 1 and everything else coming up, starting with MK World abd DK Bananza

b-but I dont want that

Then fuck off

okay so maybe people will buy it in droves but my gut feeling is telling me the hype is probably less maybe kinda sorta

almost no difference in hardware

almost no games at launch

still releasing games on switch 1 next year which is confusing and emphasizing the first point

game prices increase by $20

new $500 fee to continue for the privilege of buying nintendo games

bringing back region-locking

stupid 'C' button that my friends are gonna accidentally keep hitting (cuz the snapshot button wasn't bad enough)

game key cards

gold points removed

nintendo being clear they won't include any cool system interactions like mii-plaza or miiverse ever again. Can't even add fucking jpg background menu themes. They even charge for the demo tour of their system

I'm surprised they haven't gotten rid of miis yet.

It's too expensive and it's nickle and diming you for everything. Expect demand to slow down after the initial preorder rush is over.

I'm sorry your little fomo brain can't comprehend the concept of playing a game past the release date.

Because it's only hardcore tendies hyped for it at this point. I am not kidding when I say I have not seen this kind of negativity for a console launch since the Xbone. Nintendo might have similarly fucked their whole brand here. There are Switch 2 trailers on NoA's Youtube channel with 1m+ views but an over 25% like/dislike ratio and comments full of complaints. This is not good when people are supposed to be hyped.

But the preorders

Yeah, preorders sell out for every console. It's not really an indication of anything especially these days when niggers can just buy 50 units to scalp with bots. And that's not even going into how they didn't sell out in much of the brown FIFA continent like the Switch 1 did.

BotW was the only interesting game for the Switch 1 in the first few months. It's the same deal with the Switch 2 with MKW except we have a brand new 3d platformer the next month rather the next few months like the Switch 1. It's really not that big of a deal.

snoys are now moving on to "w-w-well there's no hype, p-p-p-p-people aren't e-e-e-excited!"

The cope continues to intensify.

Forced raresnoy

Isn't it fomo to buy consoles on the promise of games you might have interest in eventually coming out for it rather than waiting for said games to be available on the console?

I am not kidding when I say I have not seen this kind of negativity for a console launch since the Xbone

The only person I know IRL not excited for it is my little brother and its cause he is 15 and has no hope of getting one unless he gets out of his room and gets a job. My sister and all her friends are planning a Switch 2 party when it comes out. I genuinely think the only people upset are children and poors. The only way the switch 2 fails is if the games also suck, as long as they are good people will buy it and it will be a success.

It generally just feels like there just isn't a point of having new consoles. There are no great new features and games only look marginally better, and in the case on Nintendo not even that. The only reason for us to buy a new console is because games won't be made for the previous one and the only reason for Nintendo to make it is so they can justify the price increase for games. I have one preordered and I am excited to finally get a new Mario Kart after over a decade and Switch getting skipped for a new release, but I am going in expect to be disappointed in the long run. I'm oddly hoping this will turn into another WiiU like Anon Babble seems to want since the WiiU was somehow the last console I wasn't disappointing with.

It's not really an indication of anything

And people bitching on the internet is it?
Remember the Pokémon boycott? Lmao

Preorders are supposedly below 750k globally. there's panic behind the scenes.

Why are they both so blurry?

I don't really like racing games. They're sort of like math since you're supposed to find the best turn angles and lines.

I'm oddly hoping this will turn into another WiiU like Anon Babble seems to want since the WiiU was somehow the last console I wasn't disappointing with

lol the Wii U launched with fucking NSMBU and then months of literally nothing

I can only imagine the rage if they did that with the Switch 2.

NO ONE CAN FUCKING BUY ONE

The only people willing to pay $80 to run around in circles throwing banana peels are parents who don't know any better. Switch 2 isn't manchildren.

Ok then, find me somewhere to place a pre order right now.

It really saddens me how much Nintendo is lowballing their prices. I refuse to buy one until they raise it!

forced concern troll

I will agree the launch looks better that the moment and the only clear issue is the price and over confidence that comes along with it. Nintendo and all other developers are at their best when they are under pressure to recover from a blunder like the WiiU launch lineup and marketing, which turned it around into a nice console even it it never became financially successful.

75 milllion People paid $600 for a PS5 just to replay PS4 multiplats. Switch 2 will be fine.

Errm...did you really need to go there?

My sister and all her friends are planning a Switch 2 party

the only people upset are children and poors

Its telling that Nintendo is now employing low caste Indian subhuman for their shilling. They don't have enough confidence in their products as to use actual humans to promote it.

All that matters to me in the end is that It's no longer a weeb machine, just a normalfag slop

censortendo.png - 859x967, 1.28M

PS5 came out at the start of the pandemic and always had top graphics and strong third party support.

It's just a stronger Switch and almost all of the launch titles are ports. I have one preordered but there isn't really anything I care about until Pokemon ZA releases.

You can almost taste his fear with these threads. Release day is going to be Chris-Chan levels of meltdown.

Graphics don't matter to 90% of people who buy games. 3rd party support is a joke compared to Nintendo's first party support, and Covid boosted a few choice games for the Switch but didn't impact their hardware sales by a lot.

We do not live in optimistic times and the Switch 2 is a child's toy predominantly sought by 30 year old men.

Switch 2 is a piece of shit toy for babies.

switch2.png - 1671x1387, 1.6M

I'm not buying it after the game price increase, I can stomach a $450 console and even $80 controllers but $80 games is crossing the line.

Went from "There's no hype" to "There is hype, but it feels underwhelming" cope

What's next? The switch 2 hype is fake?

We already have gone through that

forced hype

posts sovl game

ok? nice self-own lmao

makes me laugh all the people crying about $80 games as if they aren't just going to get MKW for $50 in the bundle

The Switch 2 already has the reputation among normalfags as being "the overpriced console" whether that's factually true or not and the more dedicated fans think Nintendo is going to brick their console if they use an 8bitdo controller because of their new EULA. Nintendo has alienated all of the demographics that they rely on for their consoles to not be commercial failures.

games should be 20-35 dolla max

Well, there's a few things I can point out for the quieter vibes. First and foremost, we've already seen this kind of thing before. It's just bigger and newer now. Secondly, there's been a huge stink in North America and Europe over the price, while most of Latin America was told to eat shit and can't even get one. Thirdly, it isn't special hardware-wise. Probably doesn't matter to the average so-and-so, but the people more involved about graphics and performance tend to be disappointed over it. Fourthly, there aren't many games to stand up and clap for. Obviously, Mario Kart will sell like wildfire because it's fucking Mario Kart, but everything else doesn't quite have that WOW factor that something like BotW did. Finally, most people have a switch already and will probably just settle for that until the Nintendo Switch 2 looks more appealing.

I sincerely doubt it'll be anywhere near a "flop", much less a Wii U level catastrophe, but there won't be as much hype.

nintendo games arent as fun and dont have as much quality as they used to. they are also getting a lot of satisfaction out of raping and demaking their older franchises. maybe people are just seeing through their slant eyed jew bs?

the more dedicated fans think Nintendo is going to brick their console if they use an 8bitdo controller because of their new EULA

Literally no one believes this

Ps5 has actual games

Here's why you buy the Switch 2.

1) Nintendo games (not third party)
2) It's a hybrid console. Play anywhere and even on a TV screen.

That's it. If you like both of these two things, the Switch 2 is for you. If you care about value priced consoles to play mostly 3rd party games in good enough settings, that's the Series S which, even with the price increase, is still cheaper than the Switch 2 is. The caveat is you lose the hybrid console, lose Nintendo games and play games only digitally. You could buy a PS5 for just $50 more than a Switch 2 and run 3rd party games beautifully that blow away anything the Switch 2 could do, but again. You lose the hybrid functionality and there are no Nintendo games on PlayStation. Nintendo knows that people who buy Nintendo consoles buy them to play Nintendo games. They will give them Mario Kart at launch and even bundle the game in for $50 until the Fall (buy which everyone will need to pay $80 for it). If you're not a Nintendo guy, of course the Switch 2 doesn't look exciting to you even if you have the first Switch. If you ARE a Nintendo guy, it makes sense to be excited for it since it's literally what you asked for: more Nintendo but looking and running better than it has compared to other Nintendo consoles.

Switch 2 is better for third parties

I think I'm going to be buying a complete nintendo switch 2 collection. bring on the shovelware

Here's why you buy the Switch 2.

1) Nintendo games (not third party)

2) It's a hybrid console. Play anywhere and even on a TV screen.

That's it.

Why buy a Switch 2 if the Switch 1 I already have does this?

What are the chances that I can snag a Switch 2 in the month after it releases? I missed the preorder window.

name 5 PlayStation exclusives that aren’t movie games

almost 100%. no one even bothered scalping the switch there was no market for it

likes tendie games

love the hybrid gimmick

like that the switch gets lots of third party games

don't care if third party graphics aren't PS5-level, as long as it has a stable framerate

Skipped PS5/Series X|S because no games

That's my reason for wanting a switch 2

people keep bitching about the price when you can just sell your old switch for a fat discount

The fact you even ask that question proves you aren't the target audience for the Switch 2

Why would Gamestop even want my old Switch? Who would buy it?

Its a ps4 game

all the definitely-not-brazilians on Anon Babble who brag about buying a console 5 years later when the games are cheap because they are winning the fight against capitalism

Nintendo is very clearly more corporate in a way they weren't coming out with the Switch in the interim between Wii U's fiasco and Iwata's passing. It was still very much Iwata-era Nintendo, and we hadn't yet seen how soulless Nintendo's public facing attitude would be yet.
But now, it's obvious that Nintendo is no longer the company that makes really quirky and untrendy quality games like they still kind of were back then. BotW all the way to even DK Bananza shows a Nintendo that's very obviously chasing market-trends with their incessant emphasis on "Player CrEaTiViTY" to cash in on Fortnite and Roblox fans. They've become cynically corporate, and you can tell they're at the stage similarly to what Steve Jobs complained about with Apple, where because "Sales People" get the best financial results they're the ones who end up in senior positions. So Nintendo has an imbalance they didn't used to have now, where it's the Corporate heads of the firm that are making the most important product decisions and the actual dev talent is being oppressed by those demands.

In the end I think most people can tell this is happening, so they're no longer as "in love" with Nintendo as they were in the past.

Gamecube and Switch 2 have a lot in common

IMG_9804.jpg - 1024x656, 94.84K

nothing wildly new or different from the Switch 1 on a conceptual level, though this much is fine on its own

pricing for hardware and games (and the "$450 for the system was never the problem" line is blatant revisionist cope since everyone was confident beforehand that Nintendo would be insane to go above $400)

overreliance on Switch 1 games to promote the system (people actually owned a S1 so that doesn't generate excitement like WiiU ports did for S1)

Nintendo explicitly still rejecting hall effect sticks

Nintendo signaling no intention to ever let S1 games go on sale still, not even the oldest ones, and not including paid DLC with S2 editions of S1 games either

no reveal for a new 3D Mario, it's been 8 years since the last one

no reveal for a new mainline Zelda either (and nobody else's gonna say it but it's also been 8 years since the last new one that WASN'T a mass asset-flip)

a paid fucking tech demo that's basically just a manual with development factoids, while Sony's bundled in a much more robust game for free with the PS5 since day one

Mario Kart World's open world and costumes are a questionable substitute for the wealth of content that 8DX and the Booster Pass had, especially for $80

Donkey Kong's back, but it looks NOTHING like what people have come to expect from Donkey Kong, and looks more like a Chinese clone of Super Mario Odyssey that majorly toes the line of copyright infringement (including DK himself in his ridiculous pants)

Kirby Air Riders is cool but it's also ANOTHER major first-party release that's going to be a racing game; unless MK World is absolute dogshit, it's going to fucking cannibalize this game

The Duskbloods had a ton of excitement until it was quietly revealed later that it's not a proper Souls game but rather another Nightreign type game

Nintendo not revealing prices in the Direct, and completely bungling their shamefully silent rollout of that information afterwards

they’re nothing alike because I can name 10 GameCube games I’d buy right now

It only has Mario Kart and DK. DK isn't even a launch title.

They'll probably start an ad blitz in the next week or so. The prices and other controversy's did their fair share of taking the wind out of the hype sails following the direct.

so we can expect even more shill threads on Anon Babble soon?

100%. Lots of blasts to be had in the next couple months.

it feels more like a wii u 2 than a switch 2

you mean a wii u 3?

no, switch was good
switch 2 doesn't feel like it

Switch was an Iwata product. Switch 2 is a Furukawa product. The difference is palpable, even if not easy to describe in some facets.

oh, I get what you mean now. The wii u was basically what the switch 2 is right now. The difference is that the wii u was specifically marketed to children

May has been agonizing because of the wait. I have not bought a nintendo console since SNES

Its going to be amazing. Just getting mario kart world for now. I already pirated odyssey and TOTK on pc, so no point in buying it on Switch 2.

But guess what is coming? The truly next gen Zelda we have been waiting for.

$450 for the console

$100 for 512GB of mandatory new SD card format memory

$80 for a second controller

$70-$90 a piece for standard games, Deluxe Editions cost over $100

won't see any performance improvements when playing Switch games on the Switch 2, performance enhancements made exclusive to new "Switch 2 Edition" re-releases

no upcoming killer app

$20/year for Nintendo Online

it's just too expensive for how little they're offering in return. i'm not paying $800 for the privilege of re-purchasing Switch 2 Editions of games i already own. i'd rather stow that $800 away for a couple more paychecks and get a $1000 handheld PC from Steam or ASUS, that my whole Steam library and all my PC peripherals will be compatible with for free outta the box.

What's the cope going to be when the Switch 2 outsells the PS5?

fearmonging thread by a sonygro? this thing has 2.2 million preorders in japan alone.

probably the graphics

oh god here THEY come

poor

images.jpg - 300x168, 8.12K

Graphics, fps, etc.

If you really would choose the PC over the Switch 2, you were really a Nintendo fan to begin with. There's not even a guarantee that there will be emulators for it soon and even if it exists, you're not even playing on native hardware. With Nintendo also cracking down on illegal use of their games, have fun trying to play Mario Kart online

The same one he uses in the famitsu threads

"Nintendo made up those numbers. It's all fake and propaganda"

you weren't really a Nintendo fan to begin with

Fixed

I saw one commercial with the Ant Man actor and then it's like it faded out of existence lol.

Wasn't that just on nintendos channel or did you see it elsewhere?

assuming you meant to say, "weren't really a Nintendo fan to begin with", i would agree with that assessment to a point. from a games' standpoint, that really just goes back to what i said before about their lack of a killer app on the horizon. i like Zelda and Smash, but i'm not *dying* to play BotW or ToTK or Smash Ultimate again at a slightly higher resolution. certainly not for $800. the new Mario Kart looks cool, but not $600 cool. the new FromSoft game looks cool, but Nightreign is only a couple weeks away now and i honestly haven't even gotten back around to playing Shadow of Erdtree yet. if that FromSoft game had been a collaborative Zelda project, or we had a new Smash Bros on the horizon, or they were gonna drop Halo and Gears of War on it, i would probably feel differently. as it stands though, Mario Kart 11, Metroid 4, Bloodborne 2, and a buncha re-releases aren't doing it for me at all.

the launch games are shit. i get mario kart sells well but it's not exciting, it's no new mario or zelda.

*Halo and Gears and Call of Duty

you forgot a crucial step in your process

$450 for the console with release firmware

wait for inevitable exploit as nobody wants to pay for $80 games

never give shittendo another dime

the microsd situation is gay but itll probably get better after the consoles been out for a bit and more manufacturers enter the space/start driving the price down.
and no, i will never pay for online, especially not the dogshit servers that nintendo provides. sorry!

i would consider this an enthusiast-level solution, cause most people wouldn't wanna Homebrew or Jailbreak their consoles, but technically you are correct.

you’re right. I am not a blind loyalist

the real enthusiast level solution would be to cut nintendo out of the picture entirely and wait for an emulator, but the current scene is full of fags that bend the knee to a strongly worded letter with no legal precedent. maybe if people valued their privacy instead of posting their front door key on their twitter bio, it wouldnt be an issue.

you can tell they're at the stage similarly to what Steve Jobs complained about with Apple, where because "Sales People" get the best financial results they're the ones who end up in senior positions

But now, it's obvious that Nintendo is no longer the company that makes really quirky and untrendy quality games like they still kind of were back then.

pretty much, yeah. dk is a game about breaking voxels when one of the biggest games of all time is about breaking voxels and now mario kart is open world because open world is popular. the innovation that nintendo used to push doesn't seem to be there anymore, it's just trend chasing like everyone else does and arguably the lack of innovation stretches back to the switch 1. there weren't any potential new franchises as good as mario maker or splatoon from the wii u era let alone the eras before that. ring fit is cool but it's wii fit rpg(and mobile apps were already doing this concept), astral chain might make a come back but third party permanent exclusives are rare as fuck now so that seems unlikely so then it's really just arms and this was a generation where the handheld and console divisions were merged and there's less new relevant ips in it than previous gens.

The only game I care about is Metroid Prime 4 and I'm playing it on Switch 1. Two racing games in the launch year is retarded. DK looks very mediocre because the environment is voxel based and is once again a boring sandbox Nintendo game (like they needed another franchise to fall for this meme). I don't give a shit about MK single player and my friend is already getting a Switch 2 for local multiplayer.

I think this is the least interesting Nintendo lineup ever. At least with the 3DS and Wii-U you still had great games coming out on the Wii (for the 3DS reveal) and 3DS (for the Wii-U reveal). Switch 2 is all Nintendo has...

Two racing games in the launch year is retarded

Also really fucking hypocritical after all the talk of LE F ZERO CAN'T COEXIST WITH MARIO KART ANYMORE. No that fucking NSO spinoff game doesn't count

Don't forget having to buy a $95 pair of joycons if yours break.

PS5 has always been the everyman console, though. If a new and popular game comes out, 9 times out of 10 it's available on Playstation. Nintendo is much, much more gardened off, which is also why not a single person on Anon Babble, Nintendo dickrider central, claims to use it as their sole platform, and always pretends that they have a PC or other console as well.

I am still getting one. However I think the Switch 2 will be my last Nintendo console. That's because I believe Nintendo will release the Switch 3 as a digital only system for $1000 with $120 games. At that point I'll go PC only.

Switch has been my primary console this gen.

just use the switch 1 ones.
youre paying retard tax for a voice chat button.

godlike take

Then you missed out on nearly every important game this gen.

Then you missed out on nearly every important game this gen.

Outside of Elden Ring, I can't think of a single interesting multiplat released this gen.

Wouldn't you have to play it with the kickstand for that to work since the Switch 2 itself is bigger?

wow. i forgot Mario Maker and Splatoon didn't debut on the Switch. they really have been tumbling down for a spell now...

that sounds like a fine solution until you reach a Zelda or Mario puzzle or a Mario Party mini-game you simply cannot participate in because your old Joy-Cons lack the new, proprietary Joy-Con 2 features. they only allowed those hoes to be backwards compat because they know it hardly matters when they're baking game mechanics into their newer controllers.

Switch really is my only console with the only other device I have for video games being my PC that I upgraded last year. I don't play it enough to justify it though. It's literally only for NSO, Outrun and other older games I used to play back then at this point for me. Switch 2, which is just the Switch but stronger and somewhat bigger, will be useless to me so I have no reason for any console this time around.

To each his own. I dislike Switch precisely because of how limiting it is. But if you're happy, then happy gaming. You'll get ER on Switch 2 anyway.

Speaking of Mario Maker, how the fuck are they gonna add a Switch 2 mouse update for Game Builder Garage and not Mario Maker 2? Either they are working on MM3 and want to sell the gimmick or they completely forgot about Mario Maker

>won't see any performance improvements when playing Switch games on the Switch 2

we already know we'll get frame stabilization, shorter loading screens, etc, along with free patches that improve performance

Mario Maker 3D would go hard as fuck. I'd be legitimately excited for that, way more than Mario Kart and Donkey Kong.

Mario Maker 3D announced June. My dad's a Nintendo, habeeb it.

It'd be a god tier announcement.

All of them. Shitch is the real movie games.

I just want a better world map creator with collectable coins and secret exits. They should make it so anyone can put together a world with other people's levels. The world system in MM2 is neat but it takes way too much effort for a single person. If two people use the same level in a world and you've already beaten it it could just autocomplete once you get to it on the map.

Can you prove there is hype for switch 2?

It's like the ps5 launch. Everyone is scalping on hype but there are no games.
Mario kart looks like total shit with the mile wide Sunday drive roads.
DK looks simultaneously like a humiliation ritual and a brainless baby game. Basically elsagate tier brainrot in game form.
Metroid prime 4 is an embarrassment. A lock on single stick shooter design in 2025.
Wheelchair basketball
A fucking single button racer from Kirby aka the lamest character in all of vidya
Probably missing something, but honestly who gives a shit?

No zelda, no mario, no fire emblem, lmao at modern pokemon, and all modern Nintendo games are corporate sanitized "You Got A Star" with even the same soulless font shared across them all. Nintendo is fucking dead for at least one console generation and possibly as many as 3. This is the darkest Nintendo age. The signs were all there and it was a long and slow descent to this point with no discernible course correction or even minor adjustment in sight.

The next 15 years of vidya will see the fall of almost every single AAA studio that doesn't have a live service game. Indies are going to eat the market's lunch. It will be nothing but gacha, CoD/league/gtaonline trash, and indies.

Only tendies are excited for this shit. Every normie I talked to don't even know it's coming out next month. I think it's not gonna do as well as everyone thought.

Go to bed Eric. MKW and DK will keep everyone happy until June's Direct which will as usual be the big one in place of where E3 announcements would go. Nintendo will make an announcement of a tent-pole game and people will lose their fucking minds. Then Nintendo will crank up the price once their second round of Switch 2s go out and it will become unobtanium that everyone wants. Screenshot this.

No one is excited about fucking DK and everyone has their MK needs filled with MK8D. Other than those, there aren't anything else to look forward to. You can play MP4 and Pokemon ZA on the Switch.

I still think its wild how nintendo decided to put up a really good value cheap version for their own people and make all the other inferior races and countries pay for the superior japanese race and no media is calling them out on it.

Did you read what I said before responding?
I said that MKW, you know Nintendo's best selling game, and the promise of Mario Odyssey Monkey Edition will hold for the few weeks before Nintendo makes their biggest annual announcement of a major follow-up. And oh look, it's Mario 40th and they haven't pulled anything big, be a shame if they mainline Mario'd your ass. Anyone who doesn't see this coming is retarded.

It’s not holiday season yet. I think this is why they’re launching on summer so stock can build up and they’ll have heavy hitters then

They don't have the sauce to back it up. Their ultra corpo products are soulless. Mario wonder, zelda echoes of wisdom, etc. are not flukes they are the trend. Sure they might ride out one last wave of ignorant good will, but the games will speak for themselves. Mario isn't pikachu. Most nintendo IPs cannot survive on design good will alone like pokemon plushies. A disappointing mario or zelda does a lot more brand damage than a disappointing pokemon game.

Go hop on roblox and you will see that the children have no interest in playing "Nintendo" games. It's basically 50 shades of gta online chopped up into different games. Nintendo is selling a product of what their boomer CEOs think parents would think children would want. They are out of touch with even the supposed targeted demographic.

it's Mario 40th

Look forward to a re-release of Mario 3D Allstars with Galaxy 2 included this time (uses the joycon mouse for the pointer for Yoshi and a $20 upgrade fee for owners of the original). They aren't going to release 3D DK and 3D Mario so close together especially because 3D DK is clearly made by the 3D Mario team.

The only new games are DK bananza and MK World. We don't need to be overhyped for this. You will see people losing their minds if they reveal a new smash bros though

Absolute brainlet takes. June Nintendo Direct is going to be a whiff? All they have to do is:

Mario Maker update that looks like 2 with more tiles

Mario steps out into an open area

Cursor grabs him and shakes him

Transforms into 3D Mario

Release Date: Winter 2025

Pair that with something like Spl4toon and people are going to lose their ever loving minds. This narrative that the Switch 2 is hurting for new games is going to evaporate while you cry yourselves to sleep.

nta but tbf if they had big guns like that lined up for 2025, they'd use that for the release trailer and not kirby air riders.

New Smash

While Sakurai is busy on Air Ride.

Not going to happen, Smash is going to coast for a good long while under the 'Ultimate' banner with maybe an update. Rushing to shit out a new one anytime soon is retarded.

It's not complicated, OP. It's just pic related. Everyone hates Nintendo as a corporation, they all know they're greedy rat bastards, but they can't live without Nintendo games either. Nintendo knows this and is taking advantage of it to milk their playerbase dry.

Buddy, Nintendo's June Direct literally started as counterprogramming to E3. So many people here with the memory of mayflys. The June Direct is going to have at least one bombshell to try and suck the air out of the sails of the other console makers.

don't announce the big exciting game during the console reveal

never get a job in marketing.

Don't anchor your console to its launch title that is the best selling game in your lineup and then on the release month tease something big for Christmas

Yeah, I'm the one who doesn't know marketing 101. Fucking retard.

Honestly I think they believe mario kart is more than enough to launch with, given how well it did on the switch

”we don’t need any more announcements. It’s mario kart, people will buy the system for that alone”

Problem is, that’s never been the case. Sure everyone buys it, but no one got the switch just for it. It too years for MK8DX to get its sales numbers. It’s nothing to worry about though, once the system and MKW struggle to move units as they thought as everyone holds out for the series they care about they’ll find out very quickly

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

the Switch 2 actually runs at 5k2k and infinity FPS. 4k is old hat.

it's not as pumped up as a previous devices

The Switch was being shat on left and right when it came out, what the hell are talking about?

Do people on Anon Babble exist in reality or do they just get everything from other people who also don't know reality?

I don’t know if it’s just me, but with some of the 3rd party announcements they didn’t feel like they existed for the game itself but more for the wider industry
Take CP2077 and Duskbloods.Those announcments read to me more like nintendo themselves going

”Look guys, the switch 2 can run a current-day AAA game. Isn’t it powerful? We can totally handle your power-hungry games now!”

”Hey look, even the high-profile studio FromSoft is making an EXCLUSIVE for the switch 2 because it’s gonna be just that awesome!”

Not to mention the whole creators voice series which exist to publicly showcase devs sucking nintendo’s dick and how cool the switch 2 is. None of it is to the benefit of the average gamer, it’s for the industry as a whole so they can be taken seriously again

IMG_5044.jpg - 474x393, 19.32K

They exist in a pocket dimension where Mario Kart isn't huge for normies and sold-out pre-orders for a console that has been building stock for a year means that it's going to be a flop.

wake up after a good full night of sleep

Mister E had another melty and spend the last 8 hours posting his schizoid garbage again

Go to sleep, this isn't healthy

all this desperate kvetching

I hope you get paid for this Sony shills

$450 for a N3DS level upgrade

geez i wonder why

Man, Nintendo really hasn't made new ips

Lists new ips

d-doesn't count!

Every time.

Your precious Iwata greenlighted Amiibo Festival lmao.

Since when was the N3DS 8x more powerful than the base 3DS?

There hasn't been hype for a console since the Wii.

No one remembers this now bc people take the success of the Switch for granted, but back when it was announced no one thought it would fly. The fucking Pokémon Company CEO didn't believe in it.
In the end, the people complaining were just a very very loud minority compared to the people who actually bought the thing.

None of it is to the benefit of the average gamer

It's a handheld device that runs games like Cyberpunk better than any other handheld device, and at a reasonable price to boot especially when compared to the competition. How is that not to the benefit of the average gamer?

youtu.be/AcQBBse6DHc?si=oYihhlUSlMuBKmDz

Anything to distract from Mara-I mean, Concord 2, right?

Like it or not, Breath of the Wild was an event. Mario Kart just looks like 8 again, for the most part.

armorb2.jpg - 760x1024, 85.87K

Anyone who wanted to play it has already done so

This. BotW was shown off years beforehand, whereas with MKW we only just found out what it was about a month ago and they’re demanding we pay $80 for it

If you retards are so unenchanted by Mario Kart just wait until games you do want to play come out, not hard eh?
I didn't pick up PS4 at launch because I didn't want to play Driveclub or fucking Knack

I don't know what they were spending their time on but shit is disappointing as is.

HD games take a ridiculous amount of resources. Starting with the wii Nintendo has kinda side stepped that by having super weak hardware. Now their hardware is starting to catch up and the usual suspects of problems are in tote.

Ps2 graphics in HD with zero load times and always 60fps would make for a better game landscape

We where lucky that switch 1 lasted as long as it did. Since it was designed by iwata the jewification was kept to a minimum. It even took awhile for Nintendo to start making you pay for online on it. Switch 2 is full jew mode

a while

It was only a year.

Good specs are killing the industry

Damn youre right.

Its not pumped up because you are only on Anon Babble where the place is filled with poorfags
Everywhere else people are going crazy

Cyberpunk and Elden Ring run better on the Switch 2 than on PS4 and steamdeck, so they aren't the worst.

With the power of the Switch 2, I’ll be really disappointed if the next 3D Zelda doesn’t look at least half as good as RDR2. I’m not sure Nintendo can pull it off, especially when Mario Kart Wolrd doesn’t even look that great.

The lack of full hardware backwards compatibility killed my interest in switch 2. I expected it to have full BC with switch 1 games.

That first famitsu thread where they report it had the biggest launch of any console ever is gonna go crazy
There's not footage of the ER port outside of the announcement trailer tho.
I sure as hell hope it Cyberpunk plays better on it than ln the PS4 lol.

Don't forget paying thorty buckaroos for a fucking tech demo.

Imagine if Valve charged ANY money for Aperture Desk Job

they can’t complain if I or others don’t get a switch 2 day one

It's entirely sold out everywhere. You couldn't get one if you wanted to. I think they'll live.

Because Mario Kart isn't a system seller, every successful Nintendo console has had a 3D Zelda or 3D Mario launch game, DK Bananza is the only thing close to that and it's not out until July.

To be fair NSO was always going to be a paid subscription. They’re doing the same shit with the game chat being free for a while before they make it part of the NSO subscription

Famitsu threads are banned, tourist

I sure as hell hope it Cyberpunk plays better on it than ln the PS4 lol

So we're in agreement. Next time you can just post:

True

Or

Good point.

Consoles are killing the industry.

Because Mario Kart isn't a system seller,

Delusional

every successful Nintendo console has had a 3D Zelda or 3D Mario launch game,

What does this even mean? That's literally just Switch

It already massacred the steam deck by delivering a much closer experience to the ps5
it's pretty hype

Didn't Fall Guys fail horribly because they release a switch version and had to massively downgrade the game and start vaulting everything because the Switch is such a dogshit console?

Mario 64 was a pretty good launch title

>they can’t complain if I or others don’t get a switch 2 day one

You guys are just like Anon Babble and Anon Babble
You bitch but will rush to consoom in the end then cry that Nintendo didn't make enough for you to get it day one because it sold out everywhere then just continue to call it goyslop and eventually stop complaining once you actually get your hands on it and cope by saying getting a pre-order is a cuck move even though you don't pay any more than the original price and people got to enjoy it for months before you did.
Then when the next console is coming out you start all over again and bitch about the price or specs while sucking at saving money
You could have saved a dollar a day when the switch came out and had enough for this one including controllers, online, and all the games you'd plan to buy for the entire life of the switch 2

I'm pretty sure 8 Deluxe outsold BOTW and Odyssey combined lol.
Why do people keep saying this shit?

It’s a shame we can’t have famitsu threads anymore

People begged for a switch pro for years. One was in development and got canned because of covid. Nintendo hasn’t upgraded what their hardware was capable of since 2012 making this the biggest graphical jump they’ve had.

Sure but N64 wasn't successful by any means, it launched significantly behind PS1, could never get good third party support due to the storage issues and in the end sold only a quarter of the competitor.

Oh no how will Digital Foundry cope with this?

Mario Kart is not something you play for hours and can't put down like BOTW, retard. An empty overworld to roam with friends and do nothing is not going to help. They needed a grand story mode with bosses, or special gizmos you can use with friends in free roam to get people excited and instead, it looks like the lamest fucking launch title they could've chosen

It only has 2 games. At this point every other console is more appealing.

Other way around, a game like BOTW is something I finish and then only replay it every few years or so.
But Mario Kart? I'm gonna be playing it until they release the next one in like 2035 lol.

Wait I thought Steam Deck has better specs?

1. It's more expensive than people thought. On top of clusterfuck and confusion related to tariffs.
2. $80-90 for a game is fucking retarded
3. Key carts are anti-ownership
4. Gimmick is a terrible chat that paywalls a button on a controller
5. No big system seller on launch, new mario kart looks barely any different from the current one

I'll probably still get it at some point due to back compat but I won't buy nearly as many games for it as I did for switch.

Nobody plays mario kart for very long.

Funniest part is that it isn’t working at all

As impressive at it is, people consider CP2077 to be last gen. Meanwhile a current-gen game that is coming that people are anticipating, GTA6, isn’t coming to switch 2

FromSoft isn’t exactly the bee’s knees they were when ER first released, and with duskbloods being a PvPvE no one is holding out hope

A look at the hardware and benchmark test reveals it to be only about as powerful as a PS4 with an atrociously weak CPU, when the industry is on the PS5 and will be moving to PS6 soon

While the gap is much smaller relatively, it won’t be long before it ends up like the switch; it’ll get the industries sloppy seconds, but once everyone moves on it’ll be left behind for being just too weak. This isn’t to say the switch 2 will fail, the switch still did well in spite of that, but just don’t expect to be playing all those big releases on it

Only in some areas like RAM, switch 2 overall has the advantage of newer tech in general so it will outperform steamdeck on the regular.

DK Bananza is the only thing close to that and it's not out until July.

full retard, this kind of argument has only ever mattered to super autists who consider games to old after. Oddysey wasn't a launch title, Melee was 2-3 months after, good games sell consoles regardless.

I like the bravado and confidence of this post because it reminds me of the Wii U posts.

Do you have any fucking idea how HARD [new Nintendo shit] is going to save the Wii U? Screencap this!

Good times.

Lack of games. Mario Kart is the only real game I'd play. DuskBlood is PvP shit, DK looks kinda trash and I can emulate Prime 4. Most games are multiplat or old. No must have software like Switch 1 had with BOTW or Odyssey.

PS5 literally has no library still. It's just a way to play ps4 games with less load time. If the switch 2 cuts the load time of my existing switch library it'll all have been worth it. I wasn't able to pre-order one and only like 1 game I have has an update slated for the switch 2 lol lmao. here's hoping capcom makes a monster hunter stories 3, monster hunter rise 2, and nintendo lets you install switch 1 games to reduce load time.
seriously I have like 5 unopned switch games and a faster loading time would help play games and not have adhd walk away attacks.

Uh didn't we have one last week? Did I miss something?

Japan sold out in seconds because they basically got theirs subsidized by Nintendo's dogshit western pricing. It took days for it to sell out in the rest of the world.

deck trannies worked overtime on damage control since the switch 2 was announced, but their misinformation and cope couldn't last long since all the gameplay footage has made their lies obvious

If people are kvetching about Switch price, nobody is going to be able to afford a PS6 (or it will be heavily gimped to be affordable)

A look at the hardware and benchmark test

Oh, you're that kind of tool

Odyssey wasn't a launch title

Zelda was though. Which was mentioned.

Melee released months after the Gamecube

Right, and how did the Gamecube do again?

UK

lmfao

France has always been a weak market for Nintendo. I doubt they have a lot of stock in the first place. Congrats for selling out 10 units, i guess....

actual autism

lol

nintendo is doomed this time for sure

you trannies never learn

nintendo bans this but won't touch the mountain of low effort AI slop

PS5's library is 90% of the current gen line up across the industry. The other 10% is 95 flavors of Mario. Cool if you like that but the PS5 shitposting tendies make to cope needs to stop.

the biggest gaming market for Nintendo

I knew Europeans lived in delusional tunnel vision, but holy shit.

It's funny how all these years people have been downplaying the Switch as a handheld and not a "real console" but suddenly the Switch 2 has to be compared to the Gamecube and Wii U.

Fu fact, the DS had no 3D Mario or Zelda period.

Oh well at least Gamecube should be cool....oh, F-Zero, a racing game

are we being raided? what is this autism about "to many" racers?

Trying to talk about it here is just pointless. I'm hyped as fuck, paid for it and expecting it day one. I cba to have anti-nintendo ass pies spam me calling me gay while I try to talk to other nintenchads.

ur gay

don't sound so excited grandpa

nobody is going to buy any ports of older games on a handheld because...

they did that for the original switch? THAT DOESN'T COUNT!!

Even excusing your retarded logic, you're missing the forest for the trees. Switch 2 is one of the most performant handhelds on the market and is even more capable than a Series S, which means it's now going to be the go-to place for new releases to release their game alongside the other platforms. Switch got left out for being underpowered. Switch 2 is a cutting edge handheld that makes all the other PC handhelds blush for a fraction of the price. Cyberpunk is the Crysis of modern gaming, it's the benchmark game. Fact of the matter is this little handheld is outperforming all of the other so called big boy PC handhelds, and that's notable when you think about NEW games that will be coming out that no one will have played that will be releasing on the Switch 2 because it can hang with the best of them.

Switch launched in March, odyssey realized in October right before the holidays. Might as well have been launch for most people

Super Mario 64DS, which had enough new and changed content/mechanics to be considered separate from the original.

How does Nintendo cum taste?

Fu fact, the DS had no 3D Mario or Zelda period.

Wrong. DS launched with SM64 DS which had new playable characters and a few extra levels.

Just because it's preorders sold out in America, Europe and Japan within seconds doesn't mean anyone is excited for it.

PS5's library is 90% of the current gen line up across the industry.

It's also the line up available without a PS5. What do you think you're saying here?

The other 10% is 95 flavors of Mario.

Like Astrobot one of the few actual PS5 exclusives? Everything on the PS5 is getting ported to PC so I guess I have to address people pirating switch games or something for your next post?

Yeah, a pretty big factor is this is the first time we’ll see a Nintendo console above 360 gen graphics

It took days for it to sell out in the rest of the world.

They have so many orders they had to exclude China among several countries to keep Japan and the US happy and it still sold out

Yes, because China is all three combined and no one is buying it there.

this actually means the switch 2 is a tremendous failure by the way. it's over for nintendo.

The terrible before launch pr put a wet blanked on the system also I think the launch games are weak.

What about antarctica? Yeah its over for nintendo i fear

Hey why is Indonesia left out? That's 280 million potential customers!

Zelda was though. Which was mentioned.

crosstite, by your logic, nobody should have bought it on Switch
Irrelevant as it still sold
you're seeing patterns where they don't exist

You don't have a SINGLE point to go against anything that was said, nobody does.

Fact of the matter is this one little handheld is making everyone seethe because it's Nintendo. Fact of the matter is this little handheld plays Cyberpunk better than Steam Deck and even better than the ROG Ally. People need a reality check and just accept the facts, it's not about what side you're on. Right now, the Cyberpunk runs the best on the Switch 2 and that's a fact.

Ported to PC

Nintendo is also on PC and for free. Meanwhile Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, GTAVI and other games hit the PC afterwards. You retarded fanboys always run with this shit then flail when it falls apart. Playstation literally has more available games to its hardware than the Switch does or Switch 2 will.

B-but PC

PC has all of Nintendo's shit for free.

Heh so I guess I have to address pirating?

Yes, because it renders your bullshit moot every time.

I guess its better to sell to people with the most money to buy it right away while in other countries listed buying this will be a major luxury even with any region specific discounts

Kek'd this will never not be funny.

little handheld plays Cyberpunk better than Steam Deck and even better than the ROG Ally

No it doesn't. ROG Ally is still better

Single point

You have your lips so firmly wrapped around Nintendo'a dick that the point is moot. Acting like Switch 2 is going to get all modern games is hilarious.

Nintendo is also on PC and for free

And there it is. Little brown and poor emulationfag exposes himself.

You can tell exactly when the r/NintendoSwitch discord found this thread

So TOTK Switch 2 edition counts as a new Zelda game? Got it.

islamic country

average monthly salary is less than a switch

If you're rich enough to buy one you're rich enough to go to a neighbouring country to do so.

He's hyped for totk

I feel bad for you. I was hyped for it too.

No it doesn't. ROG Ally is still better

It literally does not. Still stuck with the shitty AMD tech, even if stronger than a Steam Deck, it still looks worse. Switch 2 gets the benefit of being dedicated hardware and not having to run windows or SteamOS in the background. It's one piece of hardware they can optimize for rather than having a generic PC version. Cyberpunk just runs better on Nvidia hardware, DLSS is the better upscaler and Nintendo's implementation of it is so damn good it's hard to even tell it's DLSS due to the lack of the artefacts that would normally come along with upscaling.

The side by side comparisons for Steam Deck and Switch 2 are up and it's not even close. ROG Ally is going to have the same problems that Steam Deck has, even being slightly stronger. But if you don't believe me there will be a million comparisons out for everyone to see very soon.

youtu.be/AcQBBse6DHc?si=LptqdRUR0UV1YV5V

Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, GTAVI and other games hit the PC afterwards

thanks for beta testing I guess? you know the switch being a gameboy portable is one of the big selling points right? so like I called it last time here we go again, portable PCs are going to run all switch 2 titles with no hassle immediately right? I get that you think I'm some sort of fanboy but take snoys dick out of your mouth. I have a PS5 I use it to play PS4 games. I want to get a switch 2 and hopefully it will play switch 1 games with faster loading times. There is no PS5 shitposting it's a console that's already one foot in the grave as the PS6 is being expected between 2027-2029 and it still has no killer app. I literally bought a ps4 for bloodborne and it was worth it. Switch has all the staple gamey gamer games and the portability factor to it out of the box and they keep porting older games to play them portable. You don't think switch 2 will see more ports i can play in the shitter?

>Nintendo is also on PC and for free

And there it is. Little brown and poor emulationfag exposes himself.

lol lmao I think he did the gotcha thing for me. the best part is he's absolutely right

It's impressive for a handheld to be sure even despite obvious DLSS propping up the performance but I doubt many developers are going to bother doing what CDPR does UNLESS Playstation just keeps fumbling the bag from here on out. Ubisoft might throw some bones at it and the Japanese devs sure will but the West is too stuck in the must push more polygons more shaders mindset

Obese virgin seethes intensely while defending Nintendo honor

Kek. I'm glad to see you couldn't even refute the post. Nintendo has the gayest fucking fanbase on the planet. Men in their 30s playing fucking Mario.

What's wrong with playing Mario?

thanks for beta testing I guess? you know the switch being a gameboy portable is one of the big selling points right? so like I called it last time here we go again, portable PCs are going to run all switch 2 titles with no hassle immediately right? I get that you think I'm some sort of fanboy but take snoys dick out of your mouth. I have a PS5 I use it to play PS4 games. I want to get a switch 2 and hopefully it will play switch 1 games with faster loading times. There is no PS5 shitposting it's a console that's already one foot in the grave as the PS6 is being expected between 2027-2029 and it still has no killer app. I literally bought a ps4 for bloodborne and it was worth it. Switch has all the staple gamey gamer games and the portability factor to it out of the box and they keep porting older games to play them portable. You don't think switch 2 will see more ports i can play in the shitter

Anon, I'm not responding to all this shit. Learn to write a proper fucking sentence.

People are poorer and childless, not enough nintendo bribes to pretend it sold 300 millions will be enough

the best part is he's absolutely right

He's not. There hasn't been a single game I played via Yuzu that didn't require some fucking around with or coping with inescapable microstuttering due to shader recompilation. Ah fuck this game runs bad on OpenGL I have to switch to Vulkan. Ah fuck Yuzu doesn't run this game well let me get Ryujinx. I got tired of that noise very quickly and people expecting emulation for T239 to come out any time before 2030 are actually huffing farts.
inb4 denial, works on my machine etc I already know you poorfags pretend not to notice technical issues because you have no other options

The switch 2 os eats 3 of its 12gb of ram. It's not very performant.

I played via Yuzu

Calls others poorfags

Huh?

Nintendofags suddenly thinking they're rich and calling others poor for not wanting to spend 80 dollars on Mario Kart

Wtf lmao

It's because Nintendo staggers their releases. You'll get one big game a quarter for like 5 years, which is better than no games in 5 years.

anon I said he was right about you being brown and poor and being forced to emulate.

sorry you're esl. maybe stick to your countries websites instead of failing to engage in conversations you can't comprehend.

They always have to become dishonest when they can't argue huh.

I bet this post is an absolute banger there's no doubt in my mind

Nobody had a WiiU. It sold 13 million. Switch has over 150.

Remember they also used to complain about paid online till nintendo did it and how censorship is good now

Sorry you're ESL

Stick to your countries website

Kek. Work on yourself first, retard.

Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza look pretty good, but the rest are just alright. Metroid Prime 4 feels too much like a Switch 1 game, but I'll give it a pass too. The rest will be forgotten.

an NSO companion map is the same thing as adding three playable characters, 30 missions, new mechanics, altered original missions and levels, a mini game mode, and a multiplayer mode

Nothing mostly. They've actually been cutting back on development (most games are outsourced nintendo in house studios work on the same old big projects) which is honestly kind of a smart move. The gaming audience is notoriously fickle and nintendo has always kept a strategy of weathering the storm. The switch 2 launch will be a guaranteed hit with super fans then nintendo will see how normies react and make games according to their tastes to drive sales when things taper off.

You literally admit that you are unable to parse any of the information I posit in short statements. I make money talking to corpo fucks because I'm concise and specific. I think my work on myself is mad decent.
t. just made 1200 this weekend.

good luck on your arduous journey to comprehend simple information provided to you brownoid-chan. We all know no one is rooting for you.

Looking at the footage comparison, holy fuck the steamdeck/ROG Ally version almost looks last gen in comparison to the Switch 2 versions in some scenes, the Johnny Silverhand one in particular almost looks like a xbox360 game on the steamdeck.

brown and poor and forced to emulate

PS5chad reporting back in, I buy my games. My point was that tendies take the same tact every time which ends up blowing up in their face whereafter they screech like faggots. To recap

"PS5 has no games!"

Literally has every game save Nintendo, de facto MORE games than Switch in a 1 to 1 comparison

"Heh, but PC gets PS5 ports"

PC also gets all Nintendo shit the moment it drops, so this is a moot point

"DOESN'T COUNT"

"BROWN"

"POOR"

"YUZU"

PS5 has more third party support in addition to its own line up and, regardless of what games it and PC share, they both still individually offer substantially more quality titles than the cheaply overpriced bing bing machine that you guys like to suck off every chance you get. PS5 literally has more games. PC has more games. It ALSO has Nintendo games, which always throws you fags into hissy fits whenever it's brought up.

That's cool but i made 1300 on a friday only.

Fu fact, the DS had no 3D Mario or Zelda period

esl moment and brown wrong moment. mario 64 ds and zelda spirit tracks, phantom hourglass.

inb4 "UHH NO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN." Damn we really need to range ban india from this website.

I can parse information and also discern when I'm talking to an idiot whose opinion of himself is higher than warranted. I didn't point out your glaring grammatical flaw because I was curious to see if you could spot it. Here. Fucking fix this sentence and, if you can, I'll entertain you.

maybe stick to your countries websites

Look real hard. This your moment to shine and is far worse than a typo.

Digital Foundry will somehow see this and say that the Switch 2 version is closer to the PS4 version than the Steamdeck version.

There are no good specs in this industry.

I'm concise

No the fuck you're not you larping fatass lmao.

tendie pretending he's a corpo consultant

KEK. Just so you know, statistically, Playstation gamers have the highest income brackets.

prodigygame.com/main-en/blog/benefits-of-childhood-gaming/

Poor ass tendies acting like they're fucking suits now to defend Nintendo's shitty pricing what the fuck has this world come to.

poorfags acting like all the hardcore Nintendofags don't also have a gaming PC

laughing at your life

There are over 3,503 games available on the PlayStation 5. This includes a large number of PS5 games, as well as backwards compatibility with over 4,000 PS4 titles

Games List. There are 12,501 video games on Nintendo Switch.

12 is greater than 7 btw I feel I probably need to point that out. I got the 7 by adding the 3 and the 4. You know what we can even round up and say 12 is greater than 8.

I'm sorry you can't hold an actual conversation to any degree and want to talk about grammar. Maybe you would have more fun learning MLA format and playing some of these games eslgamesworld.com/members/games/grammar/index.html at least then we could talk about games I guess? And, in fact for good measure, I believe I will include a comma splice maybe even a run on so you can continue to excel at what you're so hyper focused on. Autism representation is important no matter how brown or ESL someone is.

The most important thing is there are people who can't afford the switch 2 and I'm glad. I hope they increase the price of both the console and the games.

Nintendofags going a single day without claiming to be idort

Impossible

Honestly what a shit console. Not even Xboxfags had to resort to this.

because he's being disingenuous

mario kart has consistently outsold it on every single system

The DS had Mario 64 as a holdover for Mario Kart, and then NSMB and the DS Lite completely exploded

>prodigygame.com/main-en/blog/benefits-of-childhood-gaming/

Make Math and English fun for kids

I'm glad you're continuing to learn new things at a level you can understand, we still need you to learn to better yourself. One day we will pretend to respect you brownoid-chan, on behalf of myself and everyone else in the first world we all just hope that day never comes.

Anon so spooked he started capitalizing his sentences

Bend to my will you fake faggot lol.

More ESL shit

Said the guy who still can't fix a single sentence. Keep larping you basement dwelling retard.

Switch 2

Unaffordable

The criticism is of price versus perceived value. You'd have an inherent understanding of this criticism if you actually worked in the field you insinuate, you transparent dork.

Artificial hype
This thing is gonna flip big time

The only people buying it are tendie manchildren

Has yet to identify his error despite furiously Googling and even asking Chatgtl for help

This entire post

I'm coasting on a high of keks right now.

Here's your launch title bro

Yeah, no one third party is optimizing even with a PS5 base target, once it hits 30, they ship it and then downgrade until they get a 60 performance mode if it is available. Games that should run at least double the FPS of what they look are being pushed out for maximum profit. The Switch 2 may force them to do that extra optimization pass but I doubt it and that weak CPU may bite them for certain games. The console again will live or die on first party and that is looking bare for Nintendo at the moment. I also doubt Nintendo will be good with transitioning to digital either since most of the consternation besides the obvious stuff is the key card thing.
Nah, but the difference isn't mind boggling either. DLSS is doing a lot of heavy lifting for the advantage in GPU power. What is going to hurt is CPU limited games where the handhelds do hold an advantage. I don't see games like MHW or Rise of the Ronin getting on the system as they are right now without some serious cuts, not even optimizations.

Cool bro. Can't wait.

can't wait to pay 20 extra shekels to be able to play this goyslop on the shitch 2!

still spamming the same clips like that's going to change the fact that it's one of the most successful games ever made

This is Anon Babble not Anon Babble, tendie cultist

This was such an awful UI. I can't believe that's the best they came up with.

Sadly this is all they can do.

being so buckbroken you have to dismiss success as off topic

you can't make this shit up

UHH JUST PRESS Y SNOY

So you are only able to enjoy things if they are successful? Stupid nigger

I know pressing buttons while playing a game is an alien concept to snoys but dont assume people are as dumb as you.

You sound like a cultist

Nintendo killed the hype. Switch 2 is worse than Switch 1. This will end up like the Wii U.

People would have not complained if it ran Switch 1 games without emulating.
The system had 2 SD cards slots. One for normal SD and one for Express cards.

Nintendo should have not made key card games., they should have had the same options of card sizes like switch 1.

The prices on console and games made everyone lose interest. A game is only worth 100$ if its an collectors edition with stuff in it.

Snoy games unironically have more gameplay than nuZelda.

People would have not complained if it ran Switch 1 games without emulating.

Literally not a single person cares about this

8 years and counting

I do.
It will end up like ps5 with ps4 games where some have random glitches and shit that will never be fixed.

Whispers into tendie's ear

"Last of Us"

BotW literally won game of the year thoughbeit

The amount of cope over Switch 2 is hilarious

This will end up like the Wii U

Delusional

they should have had the same options of card sizes like switch 1

Source?

A game is only worth 100$ if its an collectors edition with stuff in it

What switch 2 game is $100?

shitting on successful things makes you a contrarian who can't find the joy most people can

but Nintendo fans will still buy it!!

Why didn't they buy Wii U then? Hardcore "Nintendo fans" are a small audience, they're just very vocal. Nintendo makes money selling shit to kids and if they can't appeal to parents, it's over. Hence the Wii U situation, all the hardcore fans bought that

So then why is it running the most demanding games better than other PC handhelds?
You can nitpick over the specs and muh ram allocation and this that and the other but the actual results don't lie. There is no other PC handheld that can run Cyberpunk, this gen's Crysis, better than the Switch 2. That's impressive.

successful things

Wii U was a sequel to a successful console too. Means nothing

It's still Cyberpunk, a shit game, running like shit on a shitty handheld. You want to play Cyberpunk? You already played it. Celebrate Nintendo titles, not ports of games already half a decade old.

It will end up like ps5 with ps4 games where some have random glitches and shit that will never be fixed.

It's probably true but nobody cares

switch 2 is running the most demanding games better than other PC handhelds

What an asinine thing to say. If you're talking about CP77, it's not " the most demanding game", it's literally a PS4 title. I think you'll find that all the ports are PS4 titles.

Cyberpunk is easily one of the best single player games of the generation. And this is the complete edition, with all the dlc and expansions. Running the full next-gen version which wasn't even possible on PS4.

Keep seething.

it's literally a PS4 title

The PS4 never received this build of the game. This is the full next gen version. Cope and seethe.

Celebrate Nintendo titles, not ports of games already half a decade old

I want to play games outside of Nintendo too.

inb4 “get a ps5 for third party games”

No

Looks like he's pointing out it's successful, and you arent enjoying that

that game doesn't count because...IT JUST DOESN'T OKAY??

Botw won goty. What game were you talking about?

No, shitting on successful things makes you a contrarian if you do it only because it's successful or popularity. I like plenty of successful and popular things, but I don't like botw or totk for many reasons.

You are just a tendie cultist who can't handle people not liking his favorite toy

The hype is exactly what i expected it to be. The thing that feels inorganic is the hate.

The only thing that's inorganic is your vagina

it's literally a PS4 title

The PS4 version had to be pulled from the store because it was so fucking broken. People seem to have magically forgotten this with the Switch 2 version.

all the ports are PS4 titles

We've got that Ubisoft Star Wars game, and technically, the version of FFVIIR is the PS5 version. Plus, we know Rebirth is coming, so this thing will have more and more PS5 ports coming too.

do you believe spamming the same clips over and over will suddenly make people hate one of the most successful games ever made?

You should seek help if all you can think about all day is trannies.

It was a massive pile of small obstacles which whittled away at the hype, from the price of the console (which is not terrible but not doing itself any favors) to more expensive games (MKW being $80 is a fucking joke) to being nickeled and dimed over performance patches (added confusion as some are free but the paid ones presumable lock HDR and 60FPS behind the extra content) to the whole controversy around the game cards. They let the narrative get away from them.

it's literally a PS4 title

lol
lmao

Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade

Star Wars Outlaws

Split Fiction

Wild Hearts

Daemon x Machina 2

Madden NFL 26

Borderlands 4

Are all current gen only games

to being nickeled and dimed over performance patches (added confusion as some are free but the paid ones presumable lock HDR and 60FPS behind the extra content)

Except this hasn't been a thing that people have complained about, or have been confused about. All people wanted to know was the price point, and when that was revealed, no-one has said anything about it since.

I'm playing Star Wars Outlaws on my Xbox Series X right now. It's actually pretty good. Solid 8/10 game. Haters are fucking delusional.

IT DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE IT GOES AGAINST MY NARRATIVE

They must be confident they'll have a solid enough library by year's end.

I've held a Switch once. It felt nothing like the GBA SP or Nintendo DS. These was something demonic about its presence in my hands, and I'm not even religious. I just don't feel anything good coming from the current or recent generations of consoles.

the price of the console (which is not terrible but not doing itself any favors)

It offers better power to price ration than similar devices it its class

to more expensive games (MKW being $80 is a fucking joke)

Just get the bundle. It's $50 then.

to being nickeled and dimed over performance patches

It's a standard industry practice. Every paid patch made by Nintendo is adding additional content to the game, at least

to the whole controversy around the game cards.

This is the only actual issue I see here and it comes down to 3rd parties being greedy. Marvelous is putting all their games on cart and they are a pretty small publisher

They’re just going to argue that the PS4 can run these games just fine and that devs just chose not to port them. What we need is a game that even the PS5 struggles to run, like monhun Wilds

That game would shut everyone up even if it runs like shit on Switch 2.

Demonic

Funny you throw the word "cult" so often....

You are actually so fucking stupid and not worth my time to respond to any more.

God tendies are so fucking insufferable

Tendie tranny resorts to posting basedjaks

Concession accepted

You'll survive

I don't know, a lot of snoys might not last the generation with the way things are going for them

We get it, Sony's dying. Get new material

Imagine seething so hard that you make this
