They’re holding off on the oled now for the mid cycle upgrade 2 year later.

@Boss_Fight_Index_muki
April 2, 2025 at 5:57 pm

$450 is a weak price point, Xbox/Sony prolly gonna drop their consoles by $100 and undercut the Switch 2

Please, I beg you all, dont buy this guys, it is scam, dont fall for it and think about the community. I know life is individual but think about everyone else. If you can afford it and buy it, then they will make it a norm to inflate the prices. Please dont buy it so that prices become realistic and other people could afford it too. It is not fair! Please lets think as a community and make nintendo understand they can’t go ahead with theirs scams. How are they chargins us 450 dollars for a new console and still makign us pay extra per game just so the game uses its capabilities. 90$ for a game? are they crazy???

It is a 50$ price hike, if you adjust for inflation….
Yes cheaper would always be nicer, but it is no rip off.
Also expect future main title like GTA 6 to go to $90 or $99 on console. I expected Rockstar to lead that change, but I guess Nintendo wants to go first.
Again, adjusting for inflation $90 is the same as $60 in 2010.

More like a Switch Pro than Switch 2. LCD screens have made big advances over the years. Higher brightness, nearly just as good contrast, high refresh rate and low power consumption for a lot less cost than OLED. The latest Mini LED TVs with Quantum Dot technology are becoming so good that OLED may be phased out like Plasma TVs. Mini LED TVs are just a fancy way of saying Super Advanced LCD TVs.
The graphics still pale in comparison to Steam Deck or any of the PC Portable game systems, however battery life of the ARM based SOC made by NVIDIA will take far less energy than the X64 Based AMD SOC in PC Portables. Have you ever tried to make a AAA game last for at least 2 hours on a PC portable game system? Graphics, frame rate, and screen refresh rate, would need to be turned down a lot.

None of those people playing Mario Kart together would actually play Mario Kart.

This is the most underwhelming release for a console ever.
@ilyasjamaly
April 2, 2025 at 6:38 pm
120 fps does that mean the screen isn’t refreshing at 120hz, and it is just games that can run at 120 frame

Should’ve been a microphone in each controller. And that multiplayer screen is straight up garbage, why would you design it in such a way that takes up 50% of your screen??
