The Nintendo Switch 2 Hype Thread, Nintendo Direct. Coming June 5th at $449.99

I am waiting for the real price of the Switch 2 for the US.😂

@SolidGame_basic: The tech already existed in devices like surface book. Not sure why the shock.

Cyberpunk took 7 weeks to be ported to the Switch 2, it's not even the full final build, not even DLSS is turned on. We'll see the end results at launch

They still have to unlock its hidden power right?😏

Scalpers getting burned... Ahhhhh.... Like watching a snake oil salesman getting punched in the face. So satisfying.

Already been debunked.

The code for the demo they showed was 7 weeks old.

I swear these fanboys make this forum hilarious and frustrating.

It has not been debunked and as you stated, it's a 7 weeks old build which is NOT final you chooch

I'm sorry but it has.

It being a 7 week old being and being interpreted by people as if its only been in development for 7 weeks... Is in fact it being debunked.

We have no idea how long its been in development.

I take it from the comprehension you have and Nintendo fans that these kinds of mistakes in brain activity happen often.

I just want to add this logic of Nintendo fans when it comes to gaming and graphics...

• Zelda 900p = We don't care about graphics

Fast forward 7 years

• Zelda 1440p = OMG finally

While at the same time...

• Cyberpunk 1080p 30FPS with PS4 graphics = We don't care about graphics name a handheld this powerful

Pick a lane folks.

Classic Goomba Fallacy.

Try harder, think before you post...

Think before I post?

The Goomba fallacy is a reasoning mistake. When there are two contradicting opinions in one internet community, some readers think that everyone in the community is stupid, because the opinions are contradictory. They do not realise that there are separate people posting in the community, with separate opinions and beliefs. In other words, two groups with contradictory views are perceived as one group that contradicts itself.

It is the same people.

This isn't YouTube comments or facebook with 100+ million posters and users.

No this is GameSpot System Wars... Its been the same fanboys for the past 15 years posting, contradicting opinions.

Nice try though... Thought I was new here. I know you all.

@FireEmblem_Man: Let's be serious about this. CP2077 came out December 2020, the game itself is 4 years old and pretty much every gamer has already played it by now. Hell, why even play CP2077 on Switch 2 when it should be play on PC? Whatever the reason, some of us aren't buying Switch 2 just for CP2077, we're buying it just for Nintendo exclusives. You fans are taking CP2077 Switch 2 version way too seriously.

No it is not...

The people who are indifferent to graphics are not the people hyping up the 1440p Zelda.

You tried, you failed.

Its a console launch cycle and hype window these fanboys don't know how to be serious. They're in a impenetrable snow globe of delusion/denial and self loathing.

They have a hard time accepting that Switch 2 is giving them last generation levels of performance... Which anyone with a basic understanding of hardware would have told them no s*** its a 10w handheld.

They are still holding out on two more months of development time and then the Switch 2 version will be PS5 levels with ray tracing and DLSS... That will compete with mid tier PC's because some developer during a game show hosted by Nintendo said it vaguely.

Honestly I can't... I left this place once. I thought these people got better but some of these accounts are 15-20 years old making these in there 30's or late 20's?... Shocking levels of IQ. Would probably avoid them in public type of people.

I prefer better framerates to better graphics myself. Switch 2 able to play games in 60fps+ was the winning feature here. For the longest time, most Nintendo fans hardly care about better graphics. They just want games that looks good and fun but most of all, at least stable framerates.

• 30 million copies sold is impressive, BUT that is still a large demographic of gamers who havent played it. Especially if you factor in that there are around 3 billion gamers out there, and around 150 million switch units sold. There is a huge untapped market.
• Multiple reasons, ranging from people not having a proper rig for it (remember: most gamers DO NOT have particularly strong gaming PCs), and some people REALLY like the portability.

I wont be buying CP2077 on the Switch 2. But considering how well it runs on the hardware it is running on, it is nonetheless an impressive and commendable effort. And I have respect for CDPR for that port.

In my case, odds are I will get the Switch 2 version to run better than I would running it on my PC. But then again... I just don't have any interest in CP2077 so it is a pass nonetheless.

I agree with what you say.

When I made a choice between pickng between PC version and switch version, my choice usually boiled down to...

Do I want no achievements (positive in my book)?
Do I want steady 60 fps?

Usually I went with the 60 fps, but now with the Switch 2. I hopefully can eat my cake and have it too.

Nope.

Its literally you...

Same old same old System wars.

Don't care about graphics?... But focus on them on every launch.

Nice try... but see my response to davillain.

I am more interested in a steady frame rate than I am in graphics or resolution. Late Switch games ended up running terribly. Hence why many of us are interested in the Switch 2.

Next time, try not jumping to conclusions.

smh... another swing and miss from Grey_Eyed_Elf

No...

I don't need to try, your sheer defence of a piece of hardware... the years you have been here, my experience in this forum.

Buddy were in our 30's how are you still a child?

@Maroxad said:

While the PS5 version looks better. The Switch 2 version is nonetheless quite impressive.

Diminishing returns on better specs is quite noticeable.

Oh look...

Its you focusing on framerate.

@Grey_Eyed_Elf: Grasping for straws? You are coming across as rather desperate. Seriously... Look at the sentence below.

"Diminishing returns on better specs is quite noticeable."

Let me help you out. My point with that post is that we are at a point where due to diminishing returns. The benefits of stronger hardware are becoming less and less noticeable. This has been a pretty consistant theme with my posts for the past 5 years or so.

In fact, if you thought about it for more than 2 seconds rather than desperately trying to fit anything into your narrative, it would be appearant that that post is consistant with the whole better graphics aren't that relevant. The PS5 version looks better, but based on those two images. How much of an impact on your experience will it even have at this point?

I must commend you for one thing though, you are giving my eye muscles quite the exercise from all the rolling they do.

Edit: So again... Graphics don't matter. Because as the Elden RIng comparison shows. The experience is barely even improved by it.

What what *IS* nice is not having switch games not chug along at 20 fps with even worse dips.

Again...

Seems like your either stupid or think I am.

You using "diminishing returns" to describe the difference between two pieces of hardware not even in the same ball park is a cope and a weak form of arguing where you are using a backhanded compliment, trying to level the playing field to skew to your preferred console.

You clearly are focusing on visuals.

Why hide it?

And why get defensive when Digital foundry says all these games are looking like PS4 versions?

I think your rather pathetic to be honest. I came back here for free cheep entertainment while I am away on business, plan on leaving very soon.

@Grey_Eyed_Elf: Stop trying to save face by hurling more conjectures. Or doubling down, after you once again misinterpretted something.

Diminishing Returns is NOT some cope but rather a pretty consistant thing I have been saying the entirety of gen 9; I used it back then to point out to even compare the PS4 and PS5, back when the PS5 was new. Its also been my primary reason I havent bothered upgrading my GPU.

Your defensiveness after your gotcha attempts failed do not help your case at all.

As for your insults, to quote a wise man: "As a general rule, it’s far easier to feel insulted when you respect the insulter."

Barring Gen 4 to 5. Every single generational leap has been less impressive than the last.

• Gen 1 -> 2: We got actual graphics now!
• Gen 2 -> 3: Huge improvement to the spritework and visuals
• Gen 3 -> 4: Further improvements, but not as impressive as the previous jump
• Gen 4 -> 5: Shift from 2d to a lot of 3d.
• Gen 5 -> 6: Models look pretty decent now! The jank of the early 3d models is gone.
• Gen 6 -> 7: Definately not as impressive as the gen 5 to 6 leap. But still not bad.
• Gen 7 -> 8/Switch -> S2: Ok... I guess. The improvements are noticeable.
• Gen 8 -> 9: Barely even notice it.

Which again brings me to my point. Switch 2 hardware improvements are not exciting because of graphics, but because later Switch 1 games ended up having terrible performance. To the point where it negatively impacted gameplay.

However, hands on experience indicates that there are framerate hurdles. I think that is worth noting.

Nintendo disabled chat for their Mario Kart presentation 🤣

Nintendo realizing they have cult fan-base and can get away with literally any bullshit.

Was over at resetera and they talking per below link, apparently the Zelda upgrades wont have cloud save support... got to be a silly mistake no way nintendo that greedy charging more for everything and removing features... right?
