First Nvidia and the Blackwell "launch", then AMD's 9070s sold out fast and rose up in price, now the Switch 2 is up next.

Technology needs a hard reset, and a very definite one.

the thing is, the more expensive they make it the less people will buy it, a lot of these executives just dont understand that Capitalism can go both ways, relying solely on hardcore consoomers isn't a viable strategy

When there have been a price hike i have waited for the "less people will buy it" for years and it havent happen yet. I wonder when will it be enough to make people stop buying.
 
Wait, duskbloods is an actual fromsoft game? It looks like a souls ripoff, doesnt even look like a fromsoftware product
:lossmanjack::story:
What the fuck, it's generic as fuck, it's like a steampunk fantasy anime game. Who's fucking directing this shit, why is Miyazaki letting people do this?

The world needs a hard reset, just pray Israel nukes syria and everything crashes. That's the only circumstance I see a reset happening under.

If you boil the frog slowly it won’t jump out. Will all the grannies stop buying nintendo for little timmy just because of a $10 price increase?

You think Miyazaki cares? You gotta remember that he’s still a businessman.

How does emulating Switch games work again?

He basically made fromsoftware at this point. If he's taking a backseat like Miyamoto did, I definitely see from crashing into mediocrity/irrelevancy within a 6 game span. Nintendo basically lost the legendary game status after Miyamoto and aonouma took a back seat. Since 2014 to now there's been two games nintendo released worthy of being considered 10/10s and on the level of their earlier output, botw and odyssey. Everything else from splatoon to totk have fallen short or just been straight up mid. Same will happen to from, elden ring is their twilight princess and after that it's going downhill.
Edit: compare the 2014-2024 span of nintendo to the 1996-2006 span of nintendo and you'll see the difference. Same for capcom as well.

Here are some of the 90 dollar keycards games coming, what a great way to start off a new console. Its the start of the end for physical games on nintendo consoles. What a sad sight.

Now watch the game become delisted or the servers have a fit. Now you cannot access your $80-90 title since it's not even on the cartridge itself. What is even the point of the cartridge?

The worst part is it's being heavily advertised as a "multiplayer" game so it might end up being more Nightreign slop, just to rub salt on the wound.
 
I was interested in Switch 2 before this but after the presentation I think I'll pass for now. Between Tendo going balls to the wall with greedy money grab shit, the new From game being some multiplayer slop, and barely any new 1st party games.

They spent like the first 15 minutes on fucking game chat :stress: Come on bro, it's been around for like 20 years at this point. It isn't some kind of revolutionary new feature.
 
So for the new console + basic accessories + a few decent games + nintendo online it's going to be around £1,000, not accounting for buying new games that come out. Yeah I think I'll stick to PC games for now.

Absolutely praying for this to get cracked day 1 like the OG switch so I can emulate every game.

Also what's going on with the new Donkey Kong? In theory, an Odyssey style Donkey Kong sounds great, but where is the vibrant tropical imagery???

As for the actual quality of the games announced, disregarding pricing issues: Donkey Kong looks ok, Mario Kart will be good, but other than that I'm not seeing anything that really interests me right now.
 
This is gonna end up being another Wii u.

If you can play all the old games on switch 1, and they're STILL releasing them on the switch 1 (Tomodachi life is releasing on switch 1)...then what the fuck is the point of the new thing?

At least the Wii u had some unique features. Miivese, vwii,etc

Switch 2 has mice joycons. Wowww!

Nintendo died with iwata

I just hope we see at least some of their games go on Steam, like the 2nd party ones at least.

I think the graphical upgrade will actually be quite big. Loads of games on the switch look horrifically blurry and low res, with poor framerates too. It's a complete scam having to pay for an "upgrade", but I think playing BOTW on the switch 2 will be a massive upgrade on the original switch version.

Even high budget exclusives from early in the console's cycle like Fire Emblem Three Houses look really poor graphically.
