Powered by being the same as the Switch + whatever anti-Piracy they put it
Like how the PS5 can play pirated PS4 games but can’t play pirated PS5 games
Can't wait to play tears of the kingdom at 30 fps
I'm an og Nintendo hype veteran from the days of N64. This is the first where I ignored all the rumors. I am not impressed also not disappointed.
It's kind of wild seeing Nintendo just make an upgraded version of the previous console. Even the Wii U was fairly transformative, even if not great.
This, from the perspective of someone who isn't huge on Nintendo, kinda feels more like a "Switch Pro" kind of thing, no?
I think the "Switch Pro" would be the OLED model as an upgrade of the original. This thing looks brand new even if it shares a lot of similarity to the original.
My question is the dock an eGPU?
It ought to have been, considering how much games struggle on the first switch lately. This will have the same problem otherwise, 2-3 years into its lifecycle it will be begging for death while the PS5/XSX are still chugging along.
Almost certainly not
Unlikely, Nintendo probably isn't bothered to boost the graphics beyond the switch 2's onboard GPU. Nintendo doesn't really care about graphics so I'd be surprised if it had an eGPU.

Thoroughly whelmed
It is a video game console that I have ever seen.
I’ll wait for the OLED model, because apparently this isn’t it.
This doesn't have OLED? Yikes.

I bought a game on switch for like 40 bucks that ended up being really bad, and tried to get it refunded within about two hours of purchase, after about thirty minutes of play time. Couldn't get the refund.
Ever since, I was VERY slow to buy anything, because, what if it's unexpectedly bad? I have to know I mean it, otherwise I shouldn't buy it. I want to buy a game, not flush money down the toilet.
So, now I kind of just don't want a Switch 2.
SteamOS plus the next gen of MSI Claw or ASUS ROG ally is going to be the absolutely superior gaming and customer experience in the coming years. There's no good reason to buy a Switch unless you need Nintendo exclusives (or have kids, and then it just makes sense).
My girlfriend accidentally bought Minecraft because she wanted to check out whether she could pay via PayPal. There are no further confirmations. Also no refund possible even though she hasn't even installed it once. If I could be bothered, I'd sue, but in Germany that wouldn't financially make sense, even though it would not be a hard case at all

Buy it on the first day, never connect it to the internet and wait for the first jailbreak. Then you never have to pay for any game.

Can't wait... for a Switch 2 emulator
Yuzutu?
Looks starkly.... Non-Nintendo-y?
I dunno, changing from the full colored joycons to black with accents and more rounded corners caught me off guard. This looks like a handheld from GPD or ONEXPLAYER
