Pretty much what everyone expected.

PRIMORDUS32d ago

Nintendo or Nvidia could have said this last year, we all knew Switch 2 was coming just say what chips it's using, what's so special it's just a underpowered mobile chip.

Michiel198932d ago

makes no sense to do that before announcing the console.

jznrpg32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

It’s a tablet chip.

Neonridr32d ago

it's a handheld device. Not sure what you would expect to power it but a mobile-based chipset.

bigfish32d ago

You may say it’s an underpowered chip etc but you can’t deny it will produce some of the best games this gen

shadowhaxor32d ago

SoC's do not produce games. Developers produce games. How much devs will be able to pump out on the hardware, well, that's too to be seen.

Jin_Sakai32d ago

Nintendo first party will pump out amazing games and that’s what the majority will buy Switch 2 for just like the 150+ million Switch owners. They sure didn’t buy it for 3rd party games. They’re just a bonus.

PRIMORDUS32d ago

I can accept it's underpowered just pointing it out lol I do have a Switch myself as well as a gaming PC. It will serve it's purpose with Switch 2 but, let's not go crazy here 😂

Profchaos32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

Tears of the kingdom was running on a potato spec device and it was doing things that developers didn't do on modern hardware.

I believe Nintendo knows how to suprise us even when the hardware isn't as strong as people would like

ABizzel132d ago

Switch 1 was A PS360 spec device with more RAM and a more modern CPU / GPU architecture. There are PS360 games that still look great today Uncharted 3, Gears of War 3, GT6, Red Dead, Portal 2, Bioshock Infinite, Killzone 2 & 3, Halo 4, Crysis 3, The Last of Us, God of War, GTA5 (yes it’s been on 3 generations of consoles -_-) etc…. All PS360 games that look great still to this day.

Switch 2 is a PS4/XBO spec device with more RAM, a more modern CPU / GPU architecture backed by image reconstruction for at times “conceptionally” “PS4 Pro/Xbox Series S” “performance” with DLSS. And PS4 level graphics still look great especially with image upscaling: The Last of Us Part 2, GT Sport, Uncharted 4, God of War, Horizon, Quantum Break, Detroit, Gears 5, Forza Horizon 5, Cyberpunk 2077 etc…

gold_drake32d ago

yeh and it shows.

tears of the kingdoms only thing that no one has ever donez was the combining of stuff to make a new thing.

the rest has been done before.

FinalFantasyFanatic32d ago

Personally, I don't care if it's a little underpowered because it's a handheld device that doubles as a console, for the sake of battery life, it's okay if it's not the most powerful of the three consoles. I'm just glad it's significantly better than the original Switch.

Loktai32d ago

Yes... exactly. . "this" gen launched 5 years into the gen. And those games COULD be running more generation specific hardware. You can SAY underpowered because it is. Its also a machine someone may want to use to play more than exclusives... Do you thing Clair Obscur is going to be a good experience on it? There were RPGs which were suffering on switch 1 ,, RPGs... let alone any kind of action games.... I am not saying the system wont be fine, and BETTER than switch 1- But dont defend against "underpowered" like its a lie or wrong to say

For kids sure. I stopped jumping on enemies heads to kill them a long time ago.

Imagine this stubborn nintendo-fan dev would release their games for pc, playstation and xbox and realizes how much power is there to use for the games instead of the ages old nintendo tech.

Interviewed him years ago and was surprised how much of a fanboy he is.

ZeekQuattro1d 3h ago

Poor 👶. Shame on the dev for continuing to do what works for them and not what some faceless armchair analyst thinks they should do. Apparently your interview had zero impact. Get serious. 🤣

Terry_B1d 3h ago

Aye, just like his games had and have no impact on my wallet, or on any gamers who do not want to buy a Nintendo console for a few exclusive games :-)

repsahj1d 4h ago

Gameshare is a nice feature! You can use Switch 1 to play this game using the power of Switch 2? Let's wait if the game will be stable using that feature.

darthv721d 3h ago

These devs do really good work with lesser tech. It reminds me of the old days, where figuring out new ways around limitations was the real test of a devs creativity. That was when you saw amazing games on hardware you never though was capable of delivering.

repsahj19h ago

And to add with $15 price point. Very cool.

MetroidFREAK2123h ago

Would love to see a proper physical release... like Fast RMX before it, but without the FOMO

I've Been Replaying Assassin's Creed Origins, And It's Reminded Me What Shadows Is Sorely Lacking

It took going back to a much older game to realise just how empty Assassin's Creed Shadows feels.

"I've never thought feudal Japan would be a good Assassin's Creed setting. Give me 1960s southern England with mods and rockers."

Aaaaaaand that's where I stopped reading.

Terry_B1d 4h ago

Never read anything on that website.

chicken_in_the_corn20h ago

I agree with the first part of their statement. Japan is so overused and it wasn't particularly interesting in Shadows. Now that it's been done, they can do something better.

Armaggedon20h ago

And shadows reminds me of something origins is lacking. Virtually every game is lacking something. It is because it is lacking, that it has what it isnt. Funny dichotomy that…

anast20h ago

Origins is a beautiful game made by talented people that got turned into a brutal level-gate fest by the CEOs.

PRIMORDUS19h ago

There are only a few Assassin's Creed games I played. Original, The Ezio Collection, and what I think is probably the best in the series Assassin's Creed Odyssey with the DLC. I'm done with the series, it's the same shit.
