Switch 2

>>713312213 (OP)
The thing i noticed is that it looks better than the oled switch. I have no clue how they did it. Great screen

>>713312213 (OP)
>lower battery life
That's the last fucking thing the Switch 2 needs.

>>713312213 (OP)
I haven't noticed major ghosting problems on mine, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It just hasn't been an issue to my eyes

>>713312213 (OP)
Yeah I returned mine because I get headaches and migraines after using it for 10 minutes.

Unless you stop upscaleing 360p or whatever handheld uses the screen won't remove enough for it to even remotely unnoticeable.

Yeah I've seen it. Don't care though.

>>713312213 (OP)
Welcome back, Original DS.

>>713312318
I think the 2 does HDR, which helps with the colors.
Some vtuber worded it like "You either like the OLED's pitch black or the 2 Vibrant colors" kinda shit

>>713312213 (OP)
Why did it take everyone 30 years to notice the motion blur problem in these displays?
When LCD's first came out it was the first bloody thing i noticed when running a game through it, and i couldn't believe people just accepted it.
To ad insult to injury, plasmas came out and fixed this problem (and others) and again - nobody noticed.

For fucks sake, what is wrong with people?

>has HDR
>screen is too dim to actually work
>has 120hz
>no content runs above 60hz
>based on upscaling
>still has no battery life
I haven't seen a launch model Nintendo handheld this gimped since the GBA.

>>713312213 (OP)
I haven't used my Switch 2 in handheld mode at all yet.

>>713317652
Battery tech barely improved over years while hardware consume more power than ever.

Nintendo can't magically pull 20h+ batteries from thin air, unless superconductors got developed overnight. Solid state batteries are promising but it just started development.

>>713317984
Steam Deck has 8 hours battery life though

>>713317984
It's also why handheld PCs and laptops need bigger batteries. It's the only way to store more electricity for the stronger hardware alongside it.

>>713318082
Now play anything demanding.

>>713318171
Any game is more demanding than Switch 2 games

>>713312213 (OP)
*Super Switch

https://www.gameinformer.com/2025/04/02/nintendo-explains-why-switch-2-was-not-called-super-switch

>>713317984
Doesn’t change any of the other things listed
>Nintendo can't magically pull 20h+ batteries from thin air
Okay? That’s not my problem that’s nintendo’s. As the consumer all I see is that its battery life is dogshit when the switch 1 can go for hours. I shouldn’t have to just deal with it, nintendo should’ve found some way to make it last any longer than an hour

>>713318214
Let's see how the deck handles Mario Kart World

Oh wait.

>>713312213 (OP)
>1 hour battery is now 45 minutes

>>713318417
UMPCs don't have better battery life either.

>>713318417
>Grug want more power
>Company gives Grug power
>No! Grug want more battery life!!! Hurr durr
>But more power requires more battery consumption?
>Grug want company make black magic or else Grug mad!

Like that anon said batteries need to get better. Even the normal ROG ally has worse battery life compared to switch while playing the same game. The bigger the screen and the more things the screen can do also just makes it drain faster
https://youtu.be/X66k6ukW9Ys?si=LTeywO2GFSX60710

>>713312213 (OP)
Lol, they're couldn't afford an LTPS panel?

>>713317984
then just make a weaker console with a longer battery life, and tell devs to make lower spec games
I know, I know, it won't happen, but I'm right

>>713317984
Or they could just stop saving 50 cents a unit and ship bigger batteries to fit the consumption.

>>713318698
>Switch is a piece of shit gives us better tech
>NO LOWER THE TECH FOR BATTERY.

>>713318726
If you're not going to be reasonable we're just going to have to brick your Switch remotely.

>>713318750
I never said that
if anything, the Switch is already too modern
graphicsfags and nvidia are the worst thing to ever happen to gaming

>>713318726
Bigger battery don't solve only make problem worse and create obvious design flaws.

Better batteries can patch issue like using silicon carbon, but that make hardware more expensive for very minimum upgrade.

>>713318082
yeah, if you downclock it in the menus and play 2d games

>>713317984
Batteries improved massively since Switch 1. We now have SiC batteries that are much denser and Nintendo could easily fit a battery that's 50% larger in capacity if they weren't so cheap. Or just use a big bigger regular ol' cheap LiPo unit. They could've also had the SoC fabbed on Samsung 5nm which would still be cheap for them since (a) Samsung is much cheaper than TSMC (b) 5nm is two nodes behind bleeding edge node.
Nintendo waa extremely cheap and it's really disappointing. I'm sure the library will be great as always but I was expecting better hardware even when correcting for Nintendo's greed. They didn't clear the low bar expectations I had to them. I'm probably waiting for Switch 2 OLED with better display and a node shrink and not buying the launch model.

>>713317984
friendly reminder that magnetic field strength is inversely proportional to temperature

the higher the temperature, the lower the current that the superconductor can handle before losing superconductivity

>>713318848
ok retard consider this:
have a faster chip that can render current graphics using less energy
you don't need a slow chip to have good battery life, a fast chip in lower power envelope will run at lower voltage for the same performance

>>713319363
how about i superconduct my dick into your ass

>>713318848
The Switch 2 is literally what everyone had been crying for, a "Switch Pro" that could either match or get close to the PS5/Series X, and as everyone has said in the thread, there was no way for the console to pack an even bigger battery without compromising it. We have reached a point where technology is demanding higher energy consumption, but battery technology has stagnated. I can assure you that the Xbox Rog will suffer the same design flaw.

>>713312213 (OP)
The people saying this is fine also won't even dignify any parts for PC builds below the latest top-of-the-line parts.

>>713318431
Let's see how switch 2 handles Forza Horizon 4
uh...anyone?

>>713319314
So you want pay 900 dollars for switch 2?

>>713318417
>when the switch 1 can go for hours
yeah but the switch 1 struggles to play many switch 1 games while the switch 2 can nearly double or triple the fps depending on the game.
>nintendo should’ve found some way to make it last any longer than an hour
again,
>>>Nintendo can't magically pull 20h+ batteries from thin air

>>713319363
no that depends
in regular materials this is because the electrons get arranged in a certain way
for superconductors this is more complicated and depends on the material and how hard you squeeze the material
you want the electrons to occupy the lowest quantum state in one class of superconductors and you achieve this by cooling to low temps
but there is another class of superconductors that are much closer to room temp but you need to squeeze them very hard
the mechanism for anything but type I superconductors is very complicated and you need to work in materials science to understand it
what we're REALLY looking for is a superconductor at 80K or higher that you don't have to have under massive pressure because then we can use usr liquid nitrogen and in a normal lab
at my uni we had liquid nitrogen restocked twice a week because of how cheap it is so we could just use it anytime we wanted despite not being a multi billion lab

>>713318665
DELET THIS

>nintendo trying to make people healthier by limiting their game time to 2 hours before they're forced to take breaks and stretch their legs
sounds kinda based imo

>>713312213 (OP)
i haven't noticed it because i keep my switch docked as god intended

>>713318698
>then just make a weaker console with a longer battery life
The switch 1 and steam deck exist. why don't you buy it?
>tell devs to make lower spec games
>REE EVERYONE SHOULD BE HELD TO THE 720p30FPS STANDARD BECAUSE I CAN'T DEAL WITH OUTLETS
they won't make lower spec games for you. you are in the minority opinion here. again, if it's such a problem, buy one of the less powerful handhelds out there and give your money to the indie devs who do make lower spec games

I hate the switch 2 battery life but you're literally spewing drivel

>>713312213 (OP)
>have you noticed it?
No but now there are going to be 80000 mexicans crying about it on Nintendo's next twitter post.

>>713319830
I would absolutely pay $1000 for a Switch 2 Ultra if it had LTPO OLED and was on TSMC 3nm with SiC battery. This is what modern flagship phones cost that have all these features. Chinese models can be had for even less.
All Nintendo would have to do is just tell devs to include Ultra graphics preset for it like higher res and higher framerate cap. We've been doing that on PC for years and modern games scale from slow mobile iGPUs to 5090s without a lot of manual intervention from devs.

>>713319980
anon honestly this isn't the board to discuss BECs or many-body physics lol. the explanation will fly over most anons' heads because they are usually high schoolers or manchildren

>>713318150
So called gayming laptops also have like 2h batteries under load not mention getting scorching hot.

People fail to realize how their 900w desktop work.

>>713318417
>Okay? That’s not my problem that’s nintendo’s.
Many faggots here forget that consumers don't really give a fuck because its always up to the parent company to figure out these problems. I don't see why nintendo didn't go out of its away at some point in the past to try and dabble into some invention or innovation of the technology since their a big company with huge wallets. Valve was able to innovate somewhat with the lithium batteries able to get 3-12 hours on the oled model and their smaller than Nintendo

>>713320208
>I would absolutely pay $1000 for a Switch 2 Ultra if it had LTPO OLED and was on TSMC 3nm with SiC battery.
Most would not. People are rioting over paying $450 for hardware that is competitive with more expensive handhelds. Part of Nintendo's sales strategy is to hit the minimum viable performance targets for consumer onboarding and then incrementally introducing upgrades to the process or features. nonetheless, Nintendo and Toyota both operate by making a cheap mass production product that proliferates through multiple income brackets.

I always see PCfags (being one myself) talk about Nintendo with disdain because Nintendo is completely disinterested in catering to enthusiasts with enthusiast spending habits. Their whole platform is unifying the player base with a common, inexpensive product. They aren't going to make a tablet with the large selection of shelf parts because it confuses grandmas and obfuscates the value of the platform with too many options. Ayaneo has this problem in particular and constantly shits out handhelds that never stick despite being in the UMPC market longer than most of its more successful competitors

why even have a slower console
switch 2 is already slower than expected
just give it a bigger fucking battery
it has a 19Wh fucking battery, other handhelds fit triple that at similar size
fucking chink mobile phones now have bigger batteries in smaller bodies!
Oneplus 13S is a 6.3" compact phone that's visibly smaller than the Switch 1 Lite and it has a higher capacity battery than the Switch 2 for fuck's sake
the battery on Switch 2 is tiny and Nintendo's incompetence pisses me off because I like their games but it's not like I can buy a better Switch 2, I have to bear with the poorfag cutdown version everyone else is using because
1. nintendo is extremely greedy and must make massive margins on a console when Snoy and Microgay are selling theirs at zero profit
2. they refuse to just give us a Pro model at higher price
you wanna milk Nintendo that's fine but don't limit the milking to low end trash

>>713317652
niggas want longer battery life but dont want bigger clunkier handhelds. they want their cake and eat it to.

You cant have both

>>713320587
It clearly works for Apple. They have a $700 basic model and a $1200 Pro Max and the best selling model is the Pro Max, followed by the Pro.
Even Android OEMs see their flagships experience this phenomenon, Samsung Ultras always top the charts compared to vanilla and Plus models.

>>713320682

I've seen some blips here and there but it's drowned out by the fact that most here are painfully unaware of how young they actually sound online. that's not necessarily a bad thing but I wager most here have neither the interest nor the maturity to talk about Landau theory or the matsci relevant to battery design

>>713320887
Deck battery life is not better you dumb shit.

>>713321101
It is, you stupid fucking nigger.

>deck size
Deck is a big fat bitch

>>713320765
It's a different market, since the major use case for smartphones is instant messaging, video streaming, accessible digital photography, browsing social media, etc.. This legitimately hits a much more fundamental use case than a video game console, which while popular is still more niche.

Think about how much more socially acceptable it is as an adult to have a phone out versus any UMPC. It's partially a fashion problem, but it's also the fact that the overwhelming majority of people are willing to embrace the ubiquity (and thus necessity) of smartphones in daily life, which is a major reason why they've punched up into cheap desktop pricing tiers.

>>713321101
Calm down. It is.

>>713312213 (OP)
The switch 2 lcd is worse than the switch 1 lcd in terms of responsetimes which is why its so blurry. Also a firmware update wouldny change the battery life more than like 5 min at the most.

>>713317984
Battery limits are set by the FAA. More power = more energy = more boom when something goes wrong. Battery tech has improved, but no one is gonna sell a laptop or portable gaming device you can't take on an air plane.

>>713312213 (OP)
>The battery life can get shorter

You can buy a $500 laptop with an AMD or intel CPU and a mobile RTX 3050 that totally rapes the Switch 2 and still has a 60whr battery inside it. These shitty Acer budget laptops are still sold at a profit. Shit on the shelf at walmart that is two years old is better.
The switch 2's IGP is literally less than 3/4 of a base mobile 3050.

>>713312213 (OP)
Are people really playing in handheld mode as their primary means?

>>713322206
According to nintendo own data, fuck no. Most people keep it docked.

>>713322251
Why are you lying?

>>713322206
Who plays pokemon docked?

>>713322206
According to Nintendo's actual data is 50/50. Or at least it was years ago. Same thing I did. Battery is dying? I dock it and continue playing on my tv.

>713322251
>Most people keep it docked.
Can't tell if you're lying because it supports the cyberpunk comparisons to other platforms or if you seriously think people bought an underpowered console to play it in its weakest use case.
Most people use both docked and undocked, but it's clear that undocked play is by far the focus of the switch given that the major mid-generational refreshes were focused on
1) a smaller size and no docked capability
2) a better handheld screen
respectively. it's obvious from the product line that handheld is the dominant mode of play

>>713318082
steam deck's screen is 800p 60hz

>>713322572
>>713322365
No, about 50% more people play entirely undocked than entirely docked, but most people do a mix of the two. This should make sense given it's a hybrid console, but being a handheld, the design of the machine leans way more into the portable experience.

MORE LIKE SHITS POO

>>713322206
I only play docked if I'm doing something online.

>>713322780

>>713318082
>>713320443
I have the OLED and have it running on minimal power outside of games, it does not have 8 fucking hours of battery life if you actually want to play games on it. Even indie 2D shit like Pizza Tower gives you about 5 hours to play at 720p60, so I don't know why you're pulling these numbers out of your asses. It's almost as if you don't actually own or use Steam Decks.

>>713312318
HDR
Though if you ask the wrong dorks on /g/, they'll say OLED is the only way to get true HDR and other technologies are just faking it.

>>713317119
People are literally blind. I can't stand the smearing from just scrolling but all panel tech seems to exhibit it.
And let's not get into the sorts of people that think upscaling is fine and produces no artifacts. Or the retard devs that still insist on TAA.

>>713325839
The Steam Deck is the perpetual technological boogeyman that's going to be used to bludgeon every piece of handheld tech for the next 3 years. It's a great machine but has fairly pronounced limitations, but it doesn't matter because people just want some piece of tech they can use to shit on the thing they don't like.

>>713317984
>Battery tech barely improved
Actually batteries have in fact improved a lot, the problem is that you're never going to see any of those used in these devices. Instead you'll get the tiny bitch baby batteries because they take up significantly less physical space and therefore companies can afford to keep their phones and tablets smaller. The Deck and Switch 1/2 use batteries that are gargantuan by comparison, but because those devices are being used to play video games they don't benefit from the increased capacity compared to a smart phone that connects to a cellular network for a few minutes at a time and occasionally streams youtube videos.

>>713312213 (OP)

>>713330215
I didn't know Ace Combat 7, Yakuza Zero, Red Dead Redemption 1, Kunitsugami, Elden Ring, Sifu, etc. were "games for kids and women"
Can't wait to have further games like Stellar Blade and else to be labelled as such.

>>713325881
>high dynamic range
>meaning high contrast between light and dark
>edge lit screen
It is faking it tho

>>713318214
Its not tho. Compare cyberpunk on deck with switch 2
The switch 2 version is 2x the deck.
>but muh 20fps
Thats the addon, which runs even worse on the deck.
The switch is stronger then the steamdeck, but deckies only look at fps and not visual quality.
Like you could play E33 on it, on low, at 720p, with fsr set to ultra performance running it at 360p with TAA making it look worse then a psp title.
Deckies and Ally's are really dishonost with how fucking terrible heavy games look on them.
Need for speed is playable, yes, ultra low 720p, again fsr ultra and then you get an unstable fps that bounces between 60 and 20 all the fucking time.
Compared to that, Mario kart world is 3 gens ahead.
T.idiort with a ally

>>713330678
I mean this is /v/, contrarianism and Tortanicposting are just the name of the game for many people, and because the console wars still exist in these retard's heads, they can blame the tendie fanboys for anything and pretend it's not them being obsessed with dumb bullshit to make anything look bad.

>>713317984
Picking a more efficient screen would've helped, and I imagine all the social media / online stuff they crammed in probably adds to the battery drain too, judging by the straight-up chat button they put on the controllers.
Also nobody expects 20h, I was expecting it to be about 4+ with the average game, not 2.
Still, what's going to happen a year from now when all these launch S2 systems batteries age? Are kids gonna get one hour?

>>713318082
The fuck it doesn't. The only way you're getting 8+ hours on a Deck is if you've got the power setting turned all the way down.
Still always got more than 2, at least.

>>713318171
Back at you though.
I'm able to pull at least 5 for non demanding older stuff like Deus Ex HR DX. About 10 hours if I'm emulating old shit or playing some really non-demanding RPG maker game.
I'd like to know if the Switch 2 is capable of playing something basic like super mario world for many hours or if it does not do power management the way it's supposed to.

>>713318750
If the switch 2 wasn't so absurdly oversized I would say that yes
as is it's not really practical as a handheld so you are only gonna use it at home in like 20 minute bursts so battery doesn't really matter

>>713312318
P3 Gamut coverage on the Switch 2 screen is 98% and it's not calibrated to kill the vibrancy of the panel.

>>713331132
The lowest manual TDP is enough for a good amount of games still, just the overlay gets laggy and you had best not fuck too much with undervolting.
For a proper and fair comparison, both handhelds should be able to do the same thing: Run a game that would realistically run on potato where the battery, if it doesn't do it automatically, can at least be set up to be as efficient as possible regardless of performance.

>>713317984
Switch 2 definitely could fit a bigger battery in there by making the shell slightly thicker, it's already fug hueg. Or alternatively they could use a OLED panel and save space.
Nintendo straight up cheaped out.

What I don't understand is why they bothered with HDR on the Switch 2.
Docked HDR support is expected, hell it should be mandatory at this point. Other home consoles have it, PC has it. But if you're going to use an IPS panel, do not do a disservice to the technology by "supporting it". Only blind people and cultists will tell you it's nice. Most will turn that shit off thinking HDR is a garbage gimmick because they don't have a proper display for it. HDR is neither a brightness nor a vibrance slider.

>>713325839
depends on the game. Batman Arkham city legit does have around 7 hours battery life at 45fps.
But badly optimisied games like the warhammer doom clone barely even get 2 hours.
So at its best it does have 8 hours. Bioshock remasters also around the 7 hour mark last time i played.

>>713322206
What is the point of these if they are not handhelds?
They're vastly underpowered in comparison to other home consoles or even a budget PC. The main reason you would want it is portability. The second reason would be exclusives, but that's mostly Nintendo games, and honestly they've been shitting the bed in the last few years.
Like you can't seriously tell me you bought a Switch 2 to play a 5 year old game like Cyberpunk docked at a measly dogshit 40fps. Nobody sane does that. You pay for the portability, not for the home console experience.

>>713322206

Just wait for the Switch 2 OLED in six months for $550 dollary doos, goyim.

>>713332502
That's too generous, make it 600 shekels!

>>713332016
>You pay for the portability, not for the home console experience.
I paid for both, but I also don't exactly care about graphic fidelity and framerate that much..
Japanese games and indies pretty much look the same between platforms, it's only the western AAA shit where differences can still be a bit noticeable on Switch 2 but they're not the kind of games I play outside of specific cases (like the first Dying Light)

>>713332502
make it a nice $999.99
Nindrones will love that.

>>713317984
There are several problems with the way Nintendo has done things.
Switch 2 is using an old process node. It was supposed to have been released years ago. A more efficient revision could be coming out right now if Nintendo didn't decide to milk Switch 1 for as long as they did.
They also could have used a bigger battery. In fact, they should have when they realized the battery life would be so poor. That way the system would have an acceptable battery life. Then just go with lower capacity batteries in a more efficient future revision, maintaining the battery life.
Another issue is the screen chosen. There is no actual reason for the display to be 1080p. A 720p panel at smartphone/tablet sizes already looks great for games. It'd also provide better compatibility with Switch 1 titles (perfect scaling). A 1080p 120hz display just serves to drain the battery faster. Also, it has worse ghosting and latency than the Switch 1/Lite IPS panels (lol) - what a fail

>>713318082
I was recently getting 2 hours while playing Great Ace Attorney

>>713320306
Off-topic discussion is always higher quality than on-topic discussion on the relevant board.

>>713332681
Oh and I forgot to say, the display should have been OLED (obviously). Not only would the screen issues I mentioned be gone (OLED has virtually no latency) but it'd also consume less power and be on par or superior to the best Switch display (the one on Switch OLED).

>>713332741
Fucking how? Do you have the frame limiter off and the brightness at 100%? Are we talking about the OLED Deck here?

>>713332836
No, the original, quite early on.

>>713332681
There actually is a reason to go for a 1080p display. Temporal anti-aliasing/DLSS at 720p output results in a blurry mess. I exclusively play games at 1000p with FSR 1.0 downscaling on my Steam Deck.

>>713317984
>Battery tech barely improved over years
Yeah and it'll be implemented in the next console

>>713312213 (OP)
Why even bother having a 120HZ screen if the motion clarity is worse than the OG Switch?

>>713312213 (OP)
>ghosting/blur
you sure this isn't DLSS

>>713332978
Most games can't do 120hz without frame gen bullshit and some indie ones are locked at 30 (like deltarune) or 60fps.
Supposedly VRR would help with things like juddering and latency but god knows how they handle that.

>>713326151
when are they gonna stop using lithium batteries and come up with the new stuff thats 10x as good

>>713333110
It happens in Switch 1 games.

>>713332905
Not really
On the Switch 2's 7.9 in display 960x540 internal res should look nice using DLSS to output 1920x1080. Nothing is stopping developers from using the exact same base resolution and output at 1280x720.

>>713333110
DLSS doesn't apply to everything that is displayed.

my friend stuck a small solar panel to the back of his steam deck, so when he was playing outside with it it would charge. unironically made it last way longer

i dont play portables, but if i would whats the point when they only last 2 hours, if i am going somewhere that i would take it, id want like 8 hours of play from it.

There is no point, Switch 2 is a bad handheld. It's too large to carry in your pocket, has fuckall battery life, and has a terrible screen.

>hdr
>dlss

can you guys stop using reddit terms for one minute?

>using the screen
Nintendo should make a non handheld version. Just integrate everything into the dock and save the consumers a hundred bucks by not needing a screen and battery.

I'll wait for Switch 2 Pro / Switch 2 Lite

>>713333171
Play a game at 720p DLSS output and report back to me how hair etc. renders.

>>713333264
ghosting itself is a reddit term thoughbeit

>>713333274
buy a playstation or an xbox if you want a normal console.

how long until we get a true pocket console
just unfold it, play, and fold it back up when we are done

>>713333315
What matters is the base resolution.
Also what a resolution looks like depends on the screen you're using.
Obviously if you're using 720p on a 1080p panel it's going to look bad, because of improper scaling.
And obviously 720p is going to look bad at certain sizes and viewing distances (just like 1080p looks bad at certain sizes and viewing distances).

There's that gamepad for phones that slides off like the PSP Go, that could work.

>>713317984
But they literally did that with the OLED switch and Mariko switch

>>713333542
yeah but nintendo wants to use 8 year old technology in their $450 console so fuck you

>>713325242
that has more exclusives than switch 2

>>713333394
>unfold it

>>713331724
for what reason, more battery means more weight and nobody even plays those 'handheld' consoles outside. Maybe on an airplane flight, but nothing is gonna survive 10 hour flights.

>>713332905
I think the point is they're going to upscale, not downscale, to 1080p anyways for the most part, because the console isn't able to handle these games otherwise. The point would be that if you're going to set 720p as the base resolution in most cases, instead of using DLSS or FSR or whatever the fuck, you just use the native resolution. Everything comes at a cost, even if it's less.
For instance, I stopped using DLDSR. Yes, visually it's amazing, but it's still more demanding, even if it's "not as demanding as actually outputting the game at that targeted resolution". It's still better for me to play at the native resolution with the extra performance even if things look slightly smoother in the distance.
Not to mention on a small display there's not much you can fucking tell in an AAA game at a distance at all.

>>713312213 (OP)
I only use it docked.

>>713333858
Then why not just have a PS5 or Xbox?
They provide a better "docked" experience than the Switch lol

>>713334020
no bing bing wahoos

>>713312213 (OP)
never be first over the ramparts, bois. the glory ain't worth it. or, put in the modern tongue, never be the early adopter beta tester. let the other guys be that guy.

>>713313309
Jesus ... it's really that bad? Does it flicker visibly or is it "just" ghosting so badly that it fucks with your eyes?
(not mocking you, anon, genuinely curious -- the last console screen I remember being so shitty that it caused headaches was the Virtual Boy, so if this one's causing similar problems, holy shit that's a debacle waiting to happen)

>>713330327
I would consider battery life being the most important as games can wait. I would rather have a console with a slightly disappointing display but fantastic battery life and no games because at least I won't feel as ripped off once the eventual OLED releases.

I've never seen any ghosting from mine even once.

>>713333151
Ask the chemists and physicists. LiFePo4 is the current state-of-the-art chemistry for rechargeable batteries, as they're a lot more stable (less susceptible to fire and runaway discharge) but require more care while charging to prevent reducing cell life (or just killing it outright). Slightly higher capacity per unit of weight, but it's not a major leap forward. Pretty much like all battery technology improvements -- all little gradual baby steps, nothing earth-shattering.

>>713335465
>I've never seen any ghosting from mine even once.

Of course not. This entire thread is nothing but schizo seethe from eternally assblasted Nintendo haters. This is all they do 24/7. They have no life. They spend their existence scouring the internet for any kind of negative bullshit. They're more obsessed with Nintendo than Nintendo fans are.

>>713335647
10 yuan has been deposited in your account

>>713332681
All of these assessments are obviously valid but you must also consider that Nintendo now favors to milk, nickel, and dime their consumers to the very last penny. They aren't the same company they were 10 years ago.

>>713332814
>the display should have been OLED
Perhaps along with the eventual OLED release we'll see a more efficient process node as well but it is unfortunate that early adopters have to get the shaft when they are paying the most upfront now for technology is obsolete right out the door.

>>713335780

First of all, the Karl Marx of Rome is not coming to help you with your nintenbabbie switchtoy.

Secondly, it's alt + 0151 to type an em dash on PC. Tap and hold on mobile.

Third, it's worse than the switchtoy 1.

>>713336231
C'mere and suck my em dash, boy.

>>713316387
You're thinking of the original model SP

Battery tech has improved somewhat, but nothing crazy for regular consumers sure, but hardware is way more efficient when it comes to power consumption these days
