“ Nintendo Switch 2 still dominating in Japan”
Such a strange headline. I mean it’s a brand new console released on June 5th. It would be weird if it wasn’t still dominating in sales.
I figure its dominating everywhere. I stopped with consoles this gen sticking with PC and the switch will get 99% of the games this way.
Going strong sales! The Switch 2 was launched here in Southeast Asia on June 26. I was among those who pre-ordered. I got my unit the same day with Cyberpunk 2077, and there was a long line of people getting their pre-orders, not as long as the line when a NBA 2K series launched, but it was different because it will be released on all platforms.
I want to see how well the June and July world wide sales.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is more likely to be held back by software limitations than hardware limitations, according to a game developer.
It blows my mind that Nintendo didn’t bother to add the Hall effect to their analog joysticks after the NS1 was plagued by that. Is it too much for Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation to do a simple fix on their gamepads even if it costs a bit more?
I have someone who mods my controllers for me. A set of Hall effect modules are around 15$ retail. It should be standard these days.
Unfortunately, they could not use them due to the electromagnetic field from the magnets in the Switch 2 joy-cons, ironically it would cause drifting!
Any software that's released as a Game Key Card is an automatic skip so I can see that
LLC: "Nintendo Switch 2 is a massive upgrade in every way that matters on a day to day basis, and with some firmware updates it could be even better."
It is massive compared to the switch 1. 6-10X the power, but compared to current standards it’s the bare minimum.
It's just a minor upgrade nothing special. Could have included the Oled screen but greedy Nintendo have something planned for it already.
You are self aware of how dumb and "sheepy" that tagline of "greedy" sounds like at this point in time, right?
Every little entitled twat on the internet has used it ad nauseum, as if all of a sudden you somehow struck gold or something. it ALMOST sounds as infantile as the other meme vomit brain rot: "Defending the billion dollar company, blah, blah" FFS. tell me its "irony" at least what you are trying to express, so at least i can give you some credit for being "clever" or bold. I refuse to believe you ACTUALLY believe what you are saying, unironically,
Great review! We have almost the same impression of the Switch 2. I don't care if the screen isn't OLED, because when I put it next to my friend's Steam OLED screen, they barely deviated in quality.
as an owner of a Steam Deck OLED and a Switch 2 I can wholeheartedly disagree with this statement.
The Steam Deck is nice as I can play my Steam library on the go. But until the Steam Deck can run Mario Kart World or DK Bananza at 60fps then honestly, I can't even begin to compare the two.
And yet people will buy it regardless of the other "good" consoles lol. People want to have fun, not to gawk at dem gwafics like some of you would.
it can do better graphics than the Steam Deck. Higher resolution screen and it can use DLSS which is superior to FSR.
Screen response time is incredibly poor at over 33ms it is not true HDR (handheld screen) due to low brightness LCD. 120hz screen really is not a big help. Still fun, but an overpriced handheld IMHO
