What does this actually do that's new? Only game I know for it is mario kart
It runs original switch games at appropriate frameratess
according to a guy i watch for background noise, it makes pokemon scarlet/violet run almost acceptably
though not as well as just emulating it on pc with halfway decent hardware
Incredible lmao
It’s the Switch but more powerful, bigger handheld screen, a bit bigger joy-cons, integrated chat functions. Definitely an incremental improvement rather than a drastic evolution. The line-up is a bit thin right now but that’s typical for the launch period.
The mouse-style control options seem neat, but yep.
It'll get used effectively in like 2-3 first party games and be forgotten
Sad but true. I just want gyro aiming to take off more, it's legitimately competitive with mouse and keyboard once you get used to it.
If Metroid Prime 4 uses it, I'll be happy.
There's a patch to make prime trilogy on dolphin work with kb+m controls
It’s already functional in at least one third party game, cyberpunk. That also has full KBM support too though, so they’re probably an outlier.
I was exaggerating, but it'll probably have the same amount of (dis)use as the original Switch's touchscreen controls lol
The new Donkey Kong game looks pretty cool. I'm too broke to afford it, but I'll probably enjoy playing it in a few years lol.
It's not going to make my jackbox games jokes funnier or stop my kid from putting black holes everywhere in ultimate chicken horse so I think that for me it's just a regular switch that costs like, most of a mortgage payment.
Your comment got me curious.
It looks like West Virginia has the cheapest average mortgage payment at just over $1,600.
So more like 1/3 of a mortgage payment? Still too rich for my blood. We're also like a year away from a switch2 exclusive pokémon game, plenty of time for me to pick one of these up used at a local pawn shop.
Nintendo's dog fighting simulator is the one of the few treats I allow myself nowadays, I'm really going to be annoyed when I have to shell out several hundred dollars for a console upgrade In order to stay current.
I bought when the interest rates were lower, and I live in a pretty low COL area, closer to 1k.
