4k? My 3070 can't even get close to 60fps 4k on most games

Man I've just forgotten about Nintendo at this point. Microsoft and Sony get that exclusives aren't working when people don't have enough money to buy every system anymore. I see Nintendo as a niche console with a handful of games. There's just not enough to justify buying one, and I grew up on Zelda and Metroid. I love them, but it's not worth buying another console for a few high priced games with questionable performance.

The GPU has less than 10% the CUDA cores of a 4090, a GPU that can't hit 120 FPS in most modern games @4K without DLSS. No way in hell will the Switch 2 hit 120 FPS @1080p, not without some extreme DLSS upscaling and some serious graphical compromises... Proper RT is completely out of the question.

This thing won't even be able to keep up with the PS5, a 5 year old console. It will compete with the Steam Deck, however.

That said, I miss the days when Nintendo cared about graphics. But at this point it's been over 25 years since those days. That's almost as long as it's been since I last enjoyed a Mario or Zelda game. Between all this and the fact that they sue their fans, I am so done with Nintendo. I feel like I've outgrown them anyway.

Brought to you by the losers of the lawsuits... Losers like you and me.

I think I'm going to hack my switch 1 now, and put some custom mario kart tracks on it

I thought the same thing

I wonder how quickly the modding scene will crack it.

Imagine booting steam os on this thing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Probably not gonna happen since steam os isn't built for arm systems

Yes but just imagine

That asshole company nobody cares about?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I love Nintendo games and loathe their business practices.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That asshole company everyone* cares about. My hatred of Nintendo runs deep. But I still watched the direct. I'm so excited for the innovative new features, and the new Mario Kart looks sick. I am disgusted that they will use the money to go after fans. I need help

Yup, new lawsuits, good hackers in jail just for helping retards like me to play a game when we feel like it...me, once a year maybe? Why would I buy a console if I only play once a year?

I wanna see what the price is and what reviewers think of the screen and I might get one and sell my Switch OLED.

However, with these game prices I sure as hell am not getting any games, I‘ll play through my backlog games which I‘ll also check whether and which will get updates. It‘d be really nice if the games I have that play at 30 fps would play at 60 and at 1080p native. Maybe I’ll get physical copies of Switch 2 games heavily discounted later on.

At $80-$90 for physical editions, I wouldn't count on the used market helping that much.

Maybe I’ll get physical copies of Switch 2 games heavily discounted later on.

Later on, as in, in like 30 years? Assuming physical Switch 2 games don't become prized collector's items like every other Nintendo consoles' physical games
