And you'll be sued by Nintendo into lifelong poverty if you use it wrong.
Fuck Nintendo.

Can the launch model be rooted?
...
I'd suggest finding out and being an early adopter.
Only time will tell.
No way in hell Nintendo would come out and talk about exploits in their game console. Also if they knew about it they'd fix it first.
Nobody knows yet.

90€ for Mario Kart 🤡 I hope this console flops because of this alone.
You know it will not... The best I hope is that MK doesn't sell too well separately thus forcing a discount.

I think I might buy a steamdeck instead and just hope that the fromsoft game is a temporary exclusive
I think I would wait for a Steam Deck 2 just for the sake of future proof.
Steam Deck 2 isn't coming for a long time. Steam Deck OLED is still more than viable.

A temporary exclusive, just like Demon's Souls and Bloodborne...
I have a steam deck, and I just hope yuzu or ryujinx will be able to run Duskbloods :P

Looks like $629.99. Never sure if it's CAD or USD but my Nintendo account is Canadian.
That's CAD, it's $450 in the US.
No OLED, no sale.
This is bothering me too... But there is a huge perk of being an early adopter though... 🏴☠️
Yeah that's driving me crazy too, it's 2025 and it's an obvious marketing gimmick to withhold the OLED at this point
Well, they can't release an OLED model later on (and make more sales) if they make it OLED from the start! Duh!
120 and 4K are often claimed on console specs but are rarely achieved within games. At best it will be capable of that when playing Netflix or streaming.
There was fine print at one point during the stream that specified that 4K will be limited to 60 FPS.

Yes, for all but the simplest games it will be one or the other, not both at once. That’s how it tends to work even on the flagship XB/PS systems.
But how does Stardew Valley run?
If you don't have autorun on you just hold the stick all the way in one direction.

They announced Metroid Prime 4 will be able to run at 1080p 120fps or 4K 60fps when docked. It doesn't have the most impressive graphics or anything, but it sounds like they're actually going to try doing it for a few games.

High refresh screen and 4K support is a surprise to me, that's very nice when it comes to Nintendo standards.
On the other hand, It's very weird that they didn't announce a price at the showcase... It sounds like this might be more expensive than what everybody's expecting it to be.
There’s a price on the UK official store: £395.99 for the system. £429.99 including digital copy of MKW.
Preorders open on 8th April.
Edit: Physical copy of Mario Kart on its own is £74.99. Woof.
Nothing yet on the US store. Tariffs threw a wrench in their plans, I reckon.
Edit: $449 apparently.
$449, $499 with Mario Kart digital.
I just saw this getting reported. Oof. That's not a great price.
The original rumor was true. Way, way too high for me to even consider it, will be getting a Steam Deck.

It's both not unexpected and actually pretty reasonable, considering how similar hardware on PC handhelds stacks up.
I'm more upset at the nickel-and-diming of resolution and performance upgrades for Switch 1 games, to be honest.
