Wow! Those prices. I remember seeing people online complaining about that new PS5 and saying "Nintendo about to swoop in with the Switch 2 to steal their audience" Are we still feeling that?

If I saw right the Mario Kart game is like 80 digital and 90 physical. With taxes that's like 100 dollars for a game. Gaming is for the rich. Imagine being a kid, not having a job and begging your parents for a 450 dollar Switch 2, and a near 100 dollar game to go with it. You better hope that kid likes that game. The number of chores and straight A report cards they'd have to do and have to earn all that.

Yeah, the last thing Nintendo should want is for their system to be seen as a luxury product for adult hobbyists only. I'm thinking they're hoping this static will quiet down and be settled so they can make a decent launch

That's how much I paid for my switch lite man, well give or take 20
My XBox Series S was basically $80 after shipping & tax when I traded in my XB1 & a bunch of discs. PS5 was paid off by the $600 Trump check. This would actually be the 1st console this gen I'd have to pay a significant amount for myself.

Honestly, I can hardly see a difference, but I'm also the kind of guy who prefers Pokemon Emerald to Violet, so I'm not the target audience for these kinds of changes.

I can't believe that channel makes its comparisons using footage ripped off YouTube (so already low quality due to YouTube's compression), but they're still active and going over ten years later.

But even then, the shadows in the town village are dreadful and it looks like it's missing effects from the motorbike. That doesn't subtract from it being a very good game and if it being on Switch means someone is getting to experience that magic, then that's great.

Cyberpunk's settings have been revealed:

Modes (see threadmark for confirmation):
TV: 1080p/30 Quality
TV: 1080p/40 Performance
Handheld: 1080p/30 Quality
Handheld: 720p/40 Performance

Not entirely sure what the point of TV Quality is in this case. In any event, confirms not every game can be expected to hit 4K or 120FPS.

Is "TV: 1080p/40 Performance" only for TVs with 2.1 HDMI? That might be why there's TV quality mode, because I don't have a TV like that so in a hypothetical if I choose to play Cyberpunk on TV on Switch 2 I'd need to play in 30fps

mario kart looks like it's going to have me giggling and wiggling my toes. looks like a very different type of game from Mario Kart 8, with Kart 8 having much more fantastical and bombastic track designs, and Mario Kart World having tracks that are a bit more contextual within the space of the game.

I'm hoping for some eventual DLC that adds some more high-concept, non-open world tracks that couldn't fit in the normal game world

certainly not natively, but it seems all games can be upscaled to 4K on a supported tv regardless (according to the fine print). that would be the only benefit to playing it docked, i suppose.

from what i understand, HDMI 1.4 cables support up to 4K30FPS while the newer HDMI 2.0/2.1 cables support 4K60FPS and higher. so assuming you had a compatible TV, you should still be able to reach 1080p/40 for CPunk with a switch 2 using HDMI 1.4.

with sakurai preoccupied with air riders, i imagine smash ultimate will get a sort of NS2 edition, perhaps even just free update with a bump in resolution or something.

my second guess is that the next smash is underway, with a new person as the director and sakurai as the non-executive director.

So… anyone hoping for anything Smash Bros related for Switch 2?
My guess is that even with Sakurai working on Kirby Air Riders, Nintendo wouldn’t want to not have a new Smash game within the first three years of the Switch 2’s life cycle. My big hope is that Nintendo has Sakurai take some time to mentor a new director for a new Smash game with original ideas.

I hear that joy cons from the original switch will work with switch 2 and the pro controller from switch one will also work

that seems to be the case, yeah.

albeit, you can’t attach the joy con 1s on the switch 2 (for obvious reasons) and the pro controller 1 cannot turn on the switch 2 from sleep mode (for less obvious reasons)
