Games

Switch going to be conservative, meanwhile the deck clones are going all out. Wonder how those will run switch 2 emulators.

Interesting, so in between lawsuits and takedowns they still do game related stuff from time to time huh?

One thing is certain,
due to all those lawsuits and takedowns,
I won't be buying into their next console,
they won't get a single dime from me anymore.

Wow, modern technology has really progressed, can't wait to play tears of the kingdom still at 30 fps

Last time they tried a slight upgrade to not rock the boat and maintain backward compatibility was the WiiU.

Probably why they're going after the emulators. Sounds like this thing is still well within reach of emulation, probably in the first couple of months of release.

I can't wait to see Nintendo's new underpowered console. I'm sure they won't completely miss the mark again.

1080p?! We're living in the future, guys!

I honestly don't care about "underpowered hardware" and other similar crap. I do care about having to pay a sub just to get cloud saves, Nintendo's excessively restrictive policies, their obsession with litigating fans, their frustrating inability to understand modern multiplayer, and their increasing desire to rehash the same games many times.

The only reason I owned a Switch was for on-the-go gaming because gaming on phones is a joke, and now I have a Steam Deck.

Man, nintendo just needs to stop. Ugh. "Heres our NEW underperforming console! Get ready to play severely inferior ports of popular 3rd party games, everyone! We've ensured that only nintendo games will run well on our new console and nothing else because we dont actually want these vastly superior games from 3rd parties to outclass our nintendo developed games!". Why is it so hard for them to actually release something that's is on equal grounds with everything else? They spending all their coin on their precious DMCAs' or something? Also, fuck nintendo. Fuck them, fuck their inferior hardware and fuck their severe hatred of the fans. Seriously, I'm noticing a trend here. Either you are forced to play their games, which really aren't THAT great and mostly weird, or you're forced to play other 3rd party games, select ones at that, with severely inferior standards and performance. It's like they're trying to discourage any quality games out there from playing on their hardware on purpose because it's nintendo games or the highway, and that fits their aggressively anticonsumer mindset too. Another great indicator of this is why they refuse to let their characters appear in Fortnite. The kinda funny podcast did a piece on this. Here's a shocker: they literally said they don't want their characters in the game because it wasn't on their hardware exclusively. How childish is that? They are literally the only ones who won't do it. Microsoft and Sony were OK with having Kratos, Master Chief, Aloy, etc, DC was cool with sharing their IPs, Marvel was cool with it, MHA, DragonBall, Kaizen, AOT were cool with it, Fox was cool with sharing Family guy, Konami was cool with sharing Snake, Capcom was cool with sharing SF, hell, WE EVEN GOT JACK SKELLINGTON IN IT, but NOPE, Nintendo can't play nice. Shocking.

Guess what, Nintendo? Due to your outrageous behavior with emulation and lawsuits, along with your stupid takedowns (GMOD NINTENDO? FUCKING GMOD?), or how you ruined a mans life all because he chipped your garbage hardware, including how much you hate your fans who only wanted to celebrate you, I wont be giving you another fucking dime. I was never really much of a pirate, but when it comes to you? I am now. Get FUCKED you anticonsumerist dirtbags.

Honestly, i wouldn't have expect anything different. Any lack of back-compatibility would have been a suicide move.

I hope games will be able to hit 60fps stable or offer some type of 40hz minimums for the higher refresh rate TVs.

Resolution is important, but if the games still perform like they do now, I’d be disappointed.

I am surprised it won’t be more of a hardware improvement since the switch was released in 2017 so there has been a whole lot of new hardware to choose from since then. I would imagine there would be bigger improvements in GPU with the better Radeon offerings.

In this thread: completely out of touch gamers shitting on the world's second best selling console of all time.

Full backward compatibility is definitely great to see, if it didn't have it I probably wouldn't pick it up for a few years

Is it me or do they always promise backwards compatibility and then find some cockamamie horseshit at the last minute on why it just wasn't possible. I might be a little scarred from previous promises (not specific to Nintendo).

Honestly, that sounds nice to me.

Don't count your hens I remember when all the consoles had backwards compatibility, until they didn't.

I wonder of “conservative hardware evolution” in this context just means that it’ll still be a switch, just with upgraded internals.

The fact that the built-in screen might be 1080p implies a decent leap in performance. That’s twice as many pixels as a 720p/800p screen.

I think that's what we expected? I don't think anything else would make sense. Although I miss small handhelds like GBA or 3DS.
