The successor to Nintendo Switch named Switch 2 will continue to be a hybrid console that can be played on TV and in portable mode, it will be launched without an OLED screen (it will have an LCD) and it will have cartridges/cards for physical games , according to various sources. Anonymous to VGC, where they say that the device is “likely” to hit stores in the second half of 2024. They add that there are already development studios outside the Japanese company with the development kit.

Yay, rebuying all my indie games I could have gotten on Steam for half of the price just to keep playing on the go. Because that's what they'll make us do.

And paying 70 bucks for the first party games. Really can't wait!

Steam Deck exists people. Basically replaced my Switch for everything not first party exclusive

Heck, with yuzu it did replace the switch.

I have all my switch, steam, itch.io, gog, ect...all in one console.

I'm not even sure my Switch works anymore tbh - Steamdeck completely replaced it for me. The games are cheaper, run better and it's a full blown PC that can do so many things including emulation.

This is what the SteamDeck (or ASUS ROG Ally) is for my friend 😊

Hey now, 70 is what we pay for 720p games. 4k is gonna cost you a bit more.
