hmm I remember saying the Switch should cost no more than 150 bucks because of what it really offers(dozens of average games), but with this I can say it should now cost 170 bucks at least, it adds some real value to that thing. :D

The fact that you'd agree with that, proves beyond the shadow of any previous doubt that you aren't the Nintendo fan you've always tried to claim you are.
It's worth the current price tag, and you know it.

_-EDMIX-_2647d ago

@wonder- everybody has different games they like and different reasons for why they purchase a system.

My reasons for wanting a Nintendo switch just happen to be for a game that's not even been announced yet so it makes more sense for me to just wait as opposed to purchase something that won't even be used.

Sooooo for me personally that threshold is about at $200 or slightly at less.

It might be worth full price to you and that's completely fine but to me personally I'm not willing to pay that price and I'm not entirely sure why you have a problem with that.

@_-EDMIX-_

I can agree with you on that. But a system shouldn't be based on how much one person wants certain games. By this logic when PS4 first launched it was highly overpriced. The system launched with no games and its first real game was Bloodborne. Same goes for Xb1.

Saying Switch is only worth the price only if it has games is a fair statement. One I would agree with no matter the system. But Switch has had more high quality games release in it's first year than any other system in a long time. About 15 years.

Saying the Switch is worth $200 or less is stupid. It is a normal price for the hardware.
Shit Xb1X should be $200, it doesn't offer any games or exclusives so it should be $200 or less. See how this works?

Let's be honest Nintendo consoles tend to be more expensive yet way under powered

and the accessories are more expensive compared to other consoles

Switch is way over priced but I know from part Nintendo will never sell consoles at loss

Trolling and flame-baiting fans of the console. Shame on you.

Old McGroin2647d ago

PS4 AND Xbox fanboys started off by encouraging the success of the Switch as a secondary console to their console of choice but as the Switches popularity has grown at record breaking speed those encouraging comments have turned in to baseless, childish and vomit inducing put downs. It only shows that they see the threat to their consoles dominance is real and how insecure they are about how it's all playing out.

ZombieKiller2647d ago

Sorry but you shouldn't have to hack something to add real value to it. It has real value as it is being a Nintendo console and having the games on it that it has. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea with hacking but that statement is not true in any way. The Nintendo switch is f-----g amazing without hacking

Smokingunz2647d ago

See all those dislikes u got for making an ignorant opinion? More than your likes. I probably enjoy the switch than your favorite console.

MadLad2647d ago

As a PC gamer, the Switch offers a lot of value in what it is, but the PS4, and even more so the Xbox One, are almost irrelevant.

NIntendo/PC master race.

I will double check if this does really work, then I am gonna buy this again, now the great value has come don't get me wrong, but playing FFVI, Pokemons, Retro Mario, DB games and couple of other legendry games is another level of enjoyment along with the new titles, I mean this should be an official release by Nintendo games by selling SNES, GC, N64, GBA and even Wii games on the store, that would hardly beats Ps Now and Xbox Game Pass which will give huge boost in sales as never. I know there is licenses issues but there is alot of firsr party game fans would really love to give it try again officially.

PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass Are Not the Future of Gaming, Says US Analyst

For the first few years of this generation, a number of industry analysts argued Sony may need to add first-party games to PS Plus at launch in order to maintain pace with Xbox Game Pass.

The Japanese giant, to its credit, always maintained its position that this was unsustainable. It later added tiers to its subscription offering, providing good value with PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium without going all-in like its Redmond rival.

Microsoft has since missed a number of targets with its own service, and has subsequently started releasing games like Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Sony’s console.

Well Sony never said that, the other camp did and we all know how that went.

goken1h ago

Not all know. I am betting those observing this while obscured may have trouble comprehending 😅

dveio20h ago

Back in the day, there were even discussions and I believe statements from Spencer about wether Sony would allow Game Pass on Playstation.

At least for the time being this option seems definitely to be ruled out completely.

Why Portability Still Matters for Nintendo Switch 2—and What We’re Hoping to See

Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades portability with a bigger screen, 1080p handheld play, and Wi-Fi 6. Here's why it still matters in 2025.

As someone who travels for work I still care about portable systems.

I have found using remote play in a hotel room is an excellent experience in a major city as I've got my console hard wired to a gigabit connection at home however it's not perfect if power trips the console tends to go to the repair section and can't be booted remotely so it's a annoying call to family to power it on for me.

A hotel out of town or regionally though that can cause havok for remote play as I'm always on 5g using it hotel wifi is never good enough for a solid remote play session.

But leaving a stable location and getting onto a plane or train and there's little to no chance of a good experience with remote play thats where something like the switch 2 will really shine for me personally long haul flights are exhausting and one of my most hated things the switch has been invaluable for me and I'll absolutely be upgrading

Goodguy011d 8h ago

Nintendo has always done it the best, handheld is in their genes. I do wish their dock could be like an egpu though and it make it much more powerful, it's a bit harder for me to play portable now for some odd reason, love just sitting on the couch with a big screen and controller. And ofc always great to have the portable option and for me it's best for smaller games.

I was hoping for a little more than 540p upscaled

UltimateOwnage1d 5h ago

IMO, 540P upscaled in portable mode to a 1080P screen using DLSS on the tensor cores will likely extend battery life using a lower TDP and provide much better anti-aliasing and similar clarity compared to native 1080P with med/low AA at a higher TDP. It’s just a better way to use a mobile chipset. That’s not a flaw or weakness, it’s a key benefit for the portable design of the platform.

repsahj23h ago

Lol, even the impressive upscaling feature of Switch 2 can now spin to a negative one.

jznrpg3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Switch 1 was hitting 720p and above that with no upscale, so why can’t they have a higher res and upscale it more

repsahj2h ago

@jznrpg
Because of that even the current gen games will now run on switch 2 that looked as good and with decent framerate as the current gen consoles.

Do you watch Nintendo's hands on preview for switch 2? LOL.

badz14916h ago

because aside from Nintendo's own games which have their dedicated fanbase, portability is the only other thing it has going for it. Nintendo will be eliminated faster than xbox if they ever decide to do a dedicated home console again. going the hybrid way is the only way left for them and they are lucky they dominated the portable market all those years ago. imagine the power of the Switch 2 as a console this day and age with the same price as PS5. they will be the laughing stock of the market.
