@Pedro: I judge based on quality. Application doesn't mean shit to me if it doesn't deliver quality first and foremost. I am not willing to play a game at 30fps on my PC and I am not going to make an exception for a handheld. 30fps is shit regardless of how you are playing. So, if hardware is running games at 30fps and failing to hit 60fps or higher, that hardware is shit. It is that simple. There are also other compromises that you have to deal with. Just take a look at Crysis Remastered on Switch. Terrible.

It doesn't matter if it is portable, has power limitations, uses a mobile processor, etc... those are all excuses. At the end of the day, it can not get the job done. I am looking for quality, not excuses. This is pretty straightforward logic. If you don't agree, then you don't care about quality. That is fine, but don't try to come at me with this application bullshit.

No one cares about your contrived quality man especially when you using moronic logic. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@FireEmblem_Man: High standards = Shallow standards?

The Switch's FPS while definately less than desired, still doesnt detract from the fact that it has some really good games you can't play anywhere else.

And for the record, most PC gamers seem to agree about the lack of importance for really high FPS and cutting edge graphics, considering most dont even bother upgrading past their 3060s or 10XX cards. While the ROG Ally and Steam Deck are meeting a lot of success.

I can appreciate a PS2 game running at 30 fps because it's doing stuff like destruction or huge open levels, while at the same time I can appreciate a PC game because it feels super smooth, looks amazing and is pushing out 8 million pixels every fraction of a second.

The fact of the matter is: we shouldn't really limit ourselves to one type of gaming, or certain contrived standards.

There aren't any standards. Who says Final Fantasy Rebirth with maxed out settings running at 16K looks better than pong?

True. Graphical fidelity means nothing as far as I am concerned. Just give me a good art style. Fidelity is background noise. I think a game like Wind Waker on the gamecube or Okami on the PS2 looks way better than Immortals of Avenum Bassman was hyping last year. Graphical fidelity doesnt matter too much and a respectable frame rate is fine for most games unless you play competitive. 30 is fine for most games I single player gmaes I play.

Hell, the fact that only 15% of all time this year on Steam was spent playing the latest games show just how little gamers care. Meanwhile, the 2 games that Bassman said I couldnt play: Starfield and Immortals of Avernum both flopped.

Hell, when I downloaded a Skyrim modpack, I pretty much uninstalled all the graphics mods, because I just didnt care about them, and preferred faster loading times so I could get back to the game faster. I just wanted Requiem (which was at the time unavailable outside that modpack for Enhanced Edition).

Absolutely 100% real. Day 1, no matter the price. Absolute stunner!!!

Nah it's fake, clearly. I mean 2 things clearly give it away as fake:

Hall effect sticks as standard: Not a chance. Is Nintendo going to forgo all those extra joycon sales? I think not.

The Smell feature is clearly fake. Even IF Nintendo were implementing that feature (they won't), they wouldn't promote it by having it produce the smell of a woman’s armpits. It would be Toads armpits. They also wouldn't use the face of Gigachad.

By the time all these leaks are over, they may have nothing to reveal. Only the games.

It'd be insane not to, right? Given that, and my track record of predicting Nintendo, expect a 2D Kirby and Devil World NES Remake at launch...

I haven't logged into Game Spot in year but wanted to chime in here. I hear the Switch 2 will have PS4 Pro like power but with modern chip tech. I HOPE they shoot for 60 frames 1080P. The PS5 Pro struggles with 4k so why would we want a weaker console trying to do it?

Just needs 1080p, 60 frames, some better AA, add some ray tracing if we can. Keep the carts coming. It will be a solid machine. Honestly MY PERSONAL dream is docked producing PS5 like power.

@GameboyTroy: The Switch successor will not be called the "Switch 2." Nintendo never calls its systems with a number unlike Sony's PlayStation consoles.

Once the Switch successor is revealed, many in System Wars are going to be disappointed.

Accessory makers at CES are telling press the Switch 2 is launching in April

The hype is getting astronomical at this point. And I’m almost positive Nintendo is having folks leak things out in a slow drip leading up to their reveal.

The Switch 2 launch lineup could end up being epic. They’ve had so long to plan this out.

They can only reveal games at this point. We have seen everything.

”Is the real Switch 2 currently roaming Las Vegas? According to some accessory makers, it's possible to acquire it on the black market"if you put up the money." This could be a lie to keep the myth alive, but accessory makers are proudly claiming to own the real Nintendo console. The fact that it doesn't provide any details about the software is suspicious, but several brands, including Genki, indicate that their mold was made from the real console, not the 3D plans”

There will be Switch 2 consoles up on eBay by Friday at this point.

Cool to see people being so hyped about a Nintendo system.

I will quietly watch what happens, and whenever there's a new and solid 3D Mario, Zelda and some other goodies for it, I might get it.

If there's no good launch/near launch games, if the joycons don't have hall effect sticks, if their online costs more, or if you can't transfer your digital Switch games or can't play Switch cartridges, I will probably never get one.

I'm intrigued, but not hyped.

I hype games, not hardware. Show me the goods! Then I will get hyped. Much like you, the switch 2 is a wait and see. I will probably get it down the line. But not day 1.

But at least I am intrigued. Which is more than I can say for some other things.

Such as with the Nvidia series 50, I dont even care. Nothing but apathy. Only reason I would even consider getting one is due to politics.

Is there any talk of Nintendo making a traditional [non-handheld] console?

I know you can dock the Switch (and I assume Switch 2) but it's not quite the same as having a more powerful stationary console.

Switch successor rumors are as reliable as Bloodborne 2 Twitter posts.

And in that, I mean they're not reliable at all.

Its interesting to see how much attention mere rumors, speculation and leaks can draw.

Nintendo just needs to announce the system already.

No such rumors. I think Nintendo have left the stationary console market after the Wii U. I wouldnt mind seeing Nintendo put their games out on PC like Sony and Xbox though.

I don't see much reason to care either. I'm the same as I always am with newly announced graphics cards. No one needs them yet. They have the power that no videogame in existence needs, and cost 20 times more than adequate cards.

Just be good with current GPU a while longer and get a 30-series for cheap later or something, when there's some game your current GPU can't handle.

Sadly not. Taking a hit to quality in favor of portability it is..

GameStop already has accessory sku’s in their system.

At this rate, we’ll be able to buy the Switch 2 before it’s announced.

Even the feed of Nintendo's posts are flooded with people just telling them to announce the Switch successor. With Nintendo trying to pretend things are business as usual.

Nintendo really dropped the ball. Just announce the thing already.

How have they dropped the ball? They are building hype. We are just a couple weeks post holidays. Anyone with a brain knows Nintendo wasn’t announcing the successor before Christmas. And announcing it during CES is kinda silly too. Nintendo is building hype, the media is buzzing, and when all eyes can be on just Nintendo, then you’ll get the announcement.

Seems pretty simple to me

When it comes to revealing their new systems Nintendo seem to really hate doing it. They're very much like Gollum and the one ring. Want to keep it all to themselves. "My preciousssssss!"

I'm not that excited about the hardware reveal, we already know a lot and it's just an iteration on the first Switch but back with an LCD screen again. I'm more interested to see the games.

But when they do reveal it, it will at least stir some excitement in the games community. The Switch is so dead to me it has a cloud of flies above it.

Dev kit has leaked! Is that a front facing camera? 🤔

And that bezel is like 5 times bigger than I was expecting.
