Much like Marvel or Vtumor fans, Nintendo fans will buy anything their overlords tell them. It's essentially a findom relationship with a nihongo company.

Steam Deck is 100x better than a Switch and its not even close

>>714433310
>PS5
Not portable
>Steam Deck
Most normies don't have the patience to learn how to fuck with Proton or emulators - and those with a dedicated gaming PC won't get much out of a Deck
>ROG
Way more expensive
And none of them have Nintendo exclusives, which are what people buy this shit for

>>714433310
you cant play MK World or Bananza on any of these. That's why its selling.

because nintendo actually makes games, not movies

>>714433135 (OP)
I bought it for Nintendo exclusives
I already have a good gaming PC for playing stuff on Steam so a Deck doesn't really hold much weight for me

>>714433209
>>714433218
Steam Deck is the best option

>>714433443
I have a Switch 2 and a Deck. Switch 2 obviously mogs the Deck in terms of power. But I love them both.

I was a big fan of the Switch but I don't really get the value proposition of the Switch 2 at this point.
Are people really buying it just for Mario Kart? Have they at least announced something more worthwhile?

Why is this board so flabbergasted by consoles selling?

>>714433821
>Have they at least announced something more worthwhile?
DK
But besides that I think people are just buying it on the assumption that Nintendo will be making more exclusives that they want to play throughout the console gen

>>714433821
Every single Sw1 game runs better.
Metroid Prime 4 and Bananza are both GotY candidates.
Mario Kart is soundtrack of the year.
All the free updated Sw1 games are essentially Sw2 remasters that look and run drastically better.

I have mostly been demolishing Sw1 games on Sw2 right now and replay Odyssey in 4k.

>>714433821
PS5 proved you don't need to have a new library if you enhance old games. It's a Switch Pro at this point. F

I guess I didn't know that. That actually does seem like it's probably worth upgrading, at least for people with large libraries, considering how dogshit performance is on the original hardware.

>>714433851
It's just Deckfags crying that their "Switch killer" shitted and flopped

>>714434291
Yep. Bayonetta 3 runs rick solid 60fps. Pretty much every game loads extremely fast. TotK and BotW Sw2 Edition look and run fucking fantastic. Prime Remastered feels a little smoother, new joy cons are more precise and responsive. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet actually works now.

>>714433135 (OP)
Switch games look and play much better now.

I love how people here are claiming DK is going to be a huge system seller. People had their 3D platformer fill with Astro Bot and Dobkey Kong isn't going to be anywhere near as good as that.

>>714433135 (OP)
Its selling the most in japan because its super cheap there.
Thats why Nintendo is getting numbers.

>>714433135 (OP)
There's a better alternative to play Mario Kart, Donkey Kong and Metroid Prime 4? Because that's why I bought one.

>>714434470
DKB will outsell Astro Bot almost instantly.

>>714434434
>Pokemon Scarlet and Violet actually works now.
Incredible. I wonder if the next gen will run well enough or if they're going to make a brand new engine just to ensure it gets that mandatory 15 FPS.

>>714434470

No.

lol lmao. Snoyfags only play movie games

>>714433135 (OP)
>What's the appeal when there are so many better alternatives?
I don't know really, I guess people are buying it because they trust Nintendo's track record with the Switch and they assume it will get some actual games (despite not having any right now), much like the OG Switch did. It's either that or people are buying it for the perf boost on their existing Switch library.

Also there aren't really any alternatives. PS and Xbox are completely worthless in general and not portable. PC is the best platform but the PC portables are more "technical" and involved devices and the average normalfag buying consoles is probably not up to snuff on using one of those. Those are more like "power user" devices, likely bought for people who are already well-familiar with PCs and PC gaming.

People have wanted switch 2 for like 5 years lol of course it was going to sell

>>714434706
'fraid so.

>>714433443
why is the Switch selling much better than the Steam Deck, then?

>>714433532
>tfw you supposedly own your cartridge games, but you can't even modify them to play romhacks or mods, or even install QOL features, and if you make backup copies you go to jail for "copyright infringement"

>meanwhile the steam games I supposedly don't own can be modified a thousand ways, and are stored on like 4 separate storage mediums, and 99% of the time i don't even have to pay for them if i don't want to

But you "own" your games on console.

>>714434914
lmao nobody wanted this shit. it's a flop and it has no games

>>714433135 (OP)

Nintendbrethren, what stage is this that the Snoy/Valvefaggots/Xtrannies have reached?

>>714434470
Bananza will fucking annihilate Astro Bot sales in week 1. No one bought Astro Unbought, except Sony managed to bribe outlets to hand it GotY. Still didn't make the game sell because Sony dudebros hate platformers. It will be even funnier because PS5 had 4 years of sales when Astro dropped, and Sw2 will have been out for less than 2 months.

>>714435098

Bananza will assrape Astrobot in 24 hours.

As someone who actually liked SV despite its many problems the prospect of Nintendo stopping GF from fucking up makes me very happy.

>Can someone please explain why?

Same reason designer handbags sell for ridicolous prices even though they're made for a fraction of the cost in some sweatshop. Nintendo isn't selling the Switch 2 on logic and reason, they're selling a personality, a lifestyle, an idea. When you buy a Switch 2 it's not just video games, it's Nintendo.

>>714435536

That's the dumbest shit I've ever read. Occam's Razor says Switch 2 is selling because of Mario Kart World.

>>714435473
They told their investors they were trying to balance quality with yearly releases. It was a huge embarrassment they allowed SV to ship in the state they did. Japanese pride means if you stick your name on something, it needs to be good.

I'm still not in a rush to buy a Switch 2. I just got a new gaming PC complete with an overpriced 5070 Ti.

>>714434012
if we are being honest, the switch was already like that. most of its early library was all deluxe versions of the wii u’s library. i guess it also helped that not as many people bought the wii u.

>>714436052
You can put PS4 discs in a PS5 and they'll play better. Switch has no Wii U backwards compatibility, you had to buy its library all over again. Switch 2 plays most Switch games improved unpatched simply by stabilizing the framerate and keeping the highest dynamic resolution setting.

>>714436052
Nintendo made fucking billions re-releasing Wii U games on the Switch. Not only did people double dip, but first time players paid full price for a game that cost very little to port.

>>714435083
I agree it has no games and the games it has I’m not interested in. I’ll get one eventually but I’m sure as shit not paying 500 bucks to play and bug test their launch slop

The alternatives don't have the new Nintendo games. You're stuck with Switch 1 games and earlier.
>>714433443
I have both, they're both really good but it depends on the user. Just get a Switch if you're a Nintendo person, get a Steam Deck if you're not. I would never recommend that someone just gets a Switch 2 if they don't like Nintendo games, any of the handheld PCs would be better at that point. My Switch 2 is only for Nintendo exclusives, and homebrew, when that's possible.

It really doesn't, the games look exactly the same if you're not using FSR or DLSS. The Switch 2 only ends up looking better in some games because of DLSS, if the game supports it, and that's already a fucking mess now according developers. Actually, the Switch 2 GPU is ~15% slower in synthetic benchmarks than the launch 2022 Steam Deck.

As much as /v/ wants to believe otherwise, the vast majority of the game playing public doesn't care about frame rates, resolution, or any of that stuff. They only care if a game is fun.

>>714439841
New nintendo games suck

>>714440393
Mario Kart World is pretty good, if you already know you like Mario Kart. But yeah, the first year looks fucking grim. I played the Donkey Kong demo at a Target, it fucking sucks, that would be a 73 on metacritic if it didn't have a Nintendo logo on it. Other than that, that's the last Switch 2 exclusive for the year so, I guess I get to wait for 2026 lol

Sounds like a great holiday season for Nintendo! I'm sure they're saving Odyssey 2, Tears of the Kingdom 2, F-Zero, Star Fox, and Mother 4 for the end of the year at the June 2025 Nintendo Direct (cancelled btw)!

>>714441183
>Nintendo didn't announce last fall's exclusives until August.
You mean that shitty Peach game and the shitty Zelda game that makes you play as Zelda?

>>714441294
And Mario and Luigi.

Point is whatever else they have planned for the second half of the year is still unknown.

>>714433135 (OP)
It's not.

>>714441397
The only hide slop, so that's the best case scenario. There are no games this year, the big holiday games are pokemon and metroid, both switch 1 games.

>>714441257
AUGUST. They still have time.

Not that it matters, Pokemon alone will move a shitload of Switch 2s.

shut up

>>714433851
I think everyone expected it to sell, but not as fast as it currently is.
Of course the tendies who religiously follow the cult of Nintendo would buy it day one, but you’d think people would be more skeptical due to price of console, price of games, low battery, crappy specs, joycon drift still existing, and having just 1 game that recently got patched to be desert bus 2.
Well tbf the Switch 2 sales have dropped by over 11 times, going from selling 3.5 million in 4 days to 5 million in a whole month. So there is a possibility the sales plateaus because people that decided to wait say how shitty the console is.

>>714442304
The PS3 sold modestly though

>>714442358
>and having just 1 game that recently got patched to be desert bus 2.

>>714442358

None of these things matter to the average consumer. Your idea of the average consumer is in fact the terminally online shitposter.

>>714443320

Sadly, most of /v/ just doesn't get that.

>>714443203
You can't expect everyone to remember Sony brought up a magical COPE number when Switch got too close to stealing the PS2's title that they never bothered to update until that exact occurance. For over a decade they didn't update the number, why?

do you guys have any recommendations for this summer sale? currently looking at this so far

>>714443320
So what do consumers care about then?
Because currently the Switch 2 went from selling 875,000 a day to about 238,000 a day once people found out how it’s not worth $450.

>>714443916
That's a good game, worth getting

>>714444170
Thats because Nintendo can't make enough of them.

>>714433135 (OP)
Its literally all just marketing. Thats the real blackpill of business. Consumers don't care about product quality they just wanna be "with the cool kids"

>>714444170

I gotta say Mario Odyssey in 4k is a work of art.

>>714433135 (OP)
several reasons, but nothing is more important than how strong the Nintendo brand is right now
the Switch 1 has not only saved the company but began a new golden age where Nintendo can do no wrong in the eyes of the general public.
it's the DS/Wii Era all over again, but this time they've avoided the Wii U type disaster follow-up by sticking to a simple upgraded system and not introducing any confusing new gimmicks

>>714433135 (OP)

>>714452625
i just dont get the point of xbox when my pc connects to my tv just fine

I think a lot of the haters don't realize the switch 2 functions as a sort of switch pro. Some key games have gotten massive upgrades. Pokemon Scarlet is the most extreme, that one is running like 8x better than the switch version, but most of them are like 4-5x. The switch 2 also has around a 7 hour battery life with switch 1 games. And even the games that didn't get visual upgrades have much faster loading times at least.

>WHERE ARE THE FUCKING GAMES
Odyssey, BotW, Scarlet, etc.

>>714453418
Its also the guarantee of games. We KNOW for a fact what games are coming. New Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing etc.
So those 158mil switch 1 owners are confident of what's to come for the switch 2. I'm the Xbot in >>714452625
And I don't even know if a new fucking forza game is guaranteed.
The extra cost of games so far has just been Mario kart but the fans of the franchise on switch will happily play 80 bucks for animal crossing.

>>714433135 (OP)
Normies can't emulate, so the Switch is the only option to play Nintendo games. Simple.

>>714453519
Gamepass, apps like plex, sometimes it's easier to slap PSO Ngs or cod on the Xbox and save the space and shader cache headaches on pc.
Speaking of CoD on consoles I can disable crossplay so I don't have to deal with hacking chinks in multiplayer.
Also my gaming pc is in the office. I have an Xbox in the living room and another in the bedroom (mostly for the wife)

>>714453524
This nigga gets it. Literally if it ain't broke don't fix it. Nintendo knows they got something good. No new crazy gimmick or pad shit. Just the same product just with titles and tech

>>714433135 (OP)
Maybe they're anticipating it'll have games later? Idk.

>>714453749
Copium. As a proud hacked switch 1 owner seeing you emulatorfags having issues with tears of the kingdom was funny as fuck. By the time you guys got it stable I already beat the game.
And you were so loud and boastful about it Nintendo made sure the switch 2 emulation was as practical as emulating Xbox Series X games. I.E impossible.
Nice flying there Icaris

>>714453962
And that some of the largest sellers on switch 1 run better on the switch 2.
Literally zero downsides to getting one if you're a happy switch 1 owner

>>714443320
>>714443320
>>714443320
This.

It's insane how much better Odyssey looks on the switch 2. If you have a decent sized TV you cant even see the textures on switch 1, it just looks like someone filled everything in with the paint tool in MSpaint. I'll never be able to play that on a switch 1 again after playing it on switch 2.

I'm really interested in MK8D when they eventually update that. I think MK8 could actually look better than MKworld if they upscale it to 4k like odyssey.

>>714454116
The fact that scarlet and violet looks like that on switch 2 and Mario like you said.
Gamefreak was ho'd by that tablet in terms of performance and the Zelda devs are fucking wizards the fact that tears of the kingdom didn't blow up the console.

>>714433135 (OP)
People really overestimate how much effort the average consumer is willing to put into a gaming device. And I swear to christ all numbers about portable switch usage have to be fucking made up.

>>714435809
But enough about steam

I just took my switch 2 to a friends house. the thing is a one device lan party. all i needed was to take my old switch joycons and there were enough controllers for everyone. No other device can do that. If I used a steamdeck I would have to take a whole bunch of full size controllers, and spend an hour trying to get it set up, and then the emulator would probably crash halfway through.

This is not true. On the switch you're limited to the switch's library but on the deck (or any PC handheld) not only can you share libraries but you can share saves as well.

>>714440134

>>714454493
it's so true. So easy to run 8 player smash or something

Really amazing how these anti-Nintendo faggots are still seething at the Switch 2's success. Are you retards really going to keep this seething for the next 8 years? Improve yourselves, jfc.

>>714454493
As someone who frequently brought my hacked switch to friends' homes, I can't say I agree with your reasoning. Joycons are so ass no one ever wants to use them and most of the time my friends have their own controllers. Having a hacked switch that lets me use any controller (xbox/ps/wii u/etc) is way more convenient. I don't have a steam deck but I assume steaminput compatibility is as easy to set up as on PC. Though I can see how someone not so tech-literate would probably run into frequent issues more often.

>>714433135 (OP)
>better alternatives
>none of those alternatives can play all first party nintendo titles as well as the switch can

You can't afford nintendo hardware and games. And that's ok. But pretending that emulation is just as good as native hardware is a huge cope.

>Another controversy marketing thread

Sales are slowing down. Demand is down greatly. Scalpers on eBay are taking losses now. If no killer app comes out I'm thinking that sales on this system are going to be front loaded and poor later on.

>>714456675
yea i had a spare pro controller as well but yeah people didn't like getting cucked with the tiny switch 1 joycons. but they worked well with mario party superstars. one guy had a switch lite and connected locally but smash lagged a bit with it. i think its more psychological that people don't like playing with the joycons. I should ahve shared my switch 2 joycons instead becuse they are decent on their own.

>>714456675
While I agree joycons can be unpopular, not being able to use joycons is a skill issue. It has more buttons than the dualsense edge or the pro controller 2. 4 side buttons are better than using a normal controller without any, because you can dedicate your thumb to one stick instead of trying to control the camera AND four face buttons on top of that, which makes any game like BotW where you have to sprint and jump control like ass unless you're doing some even more uncomfortable crane shit. Joycons 2s are even easier to use although the classic still have their place.

>>714460490
I don't think I've ever played a game which uses SL/SR for anything with both joycons. Maybe a Warioware minigame?

>>714433135 (OP)
Alternatives such as Switch 1?

>>714461197
Like back buttons you have to rebind them.

>>714461268
Oh I see, that could work I guess but the ergonomics are awful.

I get Steam Deck being worse than Switch 2 because of age etc.

But tell me WHY THE FUCK would i buy a Switch 2 instead of a Rog Ally X (And install Steam OS on it)

>Muh expensive
Nigga you are wasting money on a fucking portable gaming machine in your 20s and 30s what difference does a couple of bux make

>>714461310
They're not as bad as you think and definitely better with the joycons 2s. I can't play Switch 2 without detaching my joycons 2s because it works so much better having a dedicated finger on the camera and not trying to juggle sprints, rolls, or jumps on top of that.

>>714433135 (OP)
buying Nintendo is a flex. You dont need to buy but people are talking about it.

played mario kart world at my friends, I can't believe after a decade that's the follow-up to MK8. fucking sad. not even the lack of content, but open world shit in a racer? christ

>>714461542
I stopped using joycon 1s as soon as I had the chance because they were so uncomfortable. I got third party ones with back buttons which are vastly better and I hate that there's no similar options for Switch 2 yet. I still prefer standard controllers for docked play but these will do in a pinch.

>>714461493
the same answer every time.

Nintendo games.

90% of people buy a Nintendo console for Nintendo games.

You cannot emulate Switch 2 games, and your mileage with Switch 1 emulation will vary.

With a Switch 2 you can play every Sw1 game in vastly better settings, and all the Switch 2 games.

This is why people buy Nintendo consoles. It's been the exact same answer since the 1980s.

Nintendo.
Games.

>>714461906
People didn't buy a Wii U tho.

>>714461906
>90% of people buy a Nintendo console for Nintendo games.

I bet fortnite has more players than on switch than mario and zelda combined

>>714461996
>Fortnite
shit game is free, low iq fodder crap

>>714461929
because the early games kinda sucked (Mario U is pure ass), the marketing was absolutely terrible, the name was terrible, and the concept of the console was really a half-step towards the Switch 1. Iwata had the vision for Switch but the tech wasn't there when Wii U launched. It was there years later when Switch 1 launched, and now it's vastly better in the Switch 2 era.

>>714461996
I mean, possibly. I think that's somewhat doubtful, who knows. But you could do that on any console or pc. The reason the kid picks a Switch is so they can play Fortnite AND Mario Kart and all the other Ninty exclusives. The best selling games on Nintendo consoles are always Nintendo games. It's not like this for any other console.

>>714433532
Yes because your Jewish pozzed GoyCard will absolutely still work once Nintendo decides it's time for ((you)) to buy another console

>>714461929
Nintendo games made Wii U's potential sales go from 0 to 13,500,000.

>>714433135 (OP)
You know you can buy both? With both a Switch 2 and a Steam Deck you can play almost play every game on the go except some of the sloppiest slop you shouldn't want to play anyway.

Physical releases but nintendo working on killing that also some uncensored releases that were censored on PS4/5 but nintendo killed that too. Furukawa fucked nintendo hard. He also only fund cheap slope I don't expect many big non mario/zelda stuff. Iwata was better than this faggot.

>>714462338
No games in the beginning. You are ignoring like 20 different things. The Wii U library got better, but the initial years were so bad and the first impression was so poor, the console never sold well. Add to that the console itself was just poorly thought out and honestly should have never been made.

In comparison Switch 1 had arguably the single greatest launch year of all time. Breath of the Wild (which ran away with every GotY award), Mario Odyssey (that won a few GotY awards also and is still being enjoyed today), Xenoblade 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Pokken Deluxe, Mario Rabbids, the list goes one. A few are rereleases but again, the Wii U was a poorly designed console that didn't sell, so for many buyers this was their first time trying these games. As it turned out many of these games were not bad games at all, they were just trapped on the incredibly shitty Wii U. Add to that the newfound advent of taking all of these games anywhere... the history practically wrote itself.

Real question is how people like you are still confused over how Nintendo pulled the greatest turnaround in video game history in only one generation. The Switch 2 is just going to ride the wave of the Switch 1's immense success and massive library into the sunset, and the cherry on top is Nintendo is going to keep pumping out games.

>>714433135 (OP)
exclusives, thats pretty much it for me. kinda collecting dust right now but will pick it up for dk bananza.

i was also hoping to mod it so i can play pirated shit but alas

You're making my point for me that it has nothing to do with the games.

>>714433135 (OP)
It has video games.

>>714433135 (OP)
When are you faggots going to realize people buy Nintendo consoles because they want to play Nintendo games
>B-BUT YOU COULD JUST EMULATE ON YOUR PHONE UNC!
yeah but that's fucking gay. Which brings me to my next point.
EMULATORS exist because people want to play Nintendo games. There is no Switch 2 emulator (yet), but there will be one eventually because people want to play them that bad. People just want to play Nintendo games and the Switch 2 is a strong handheld/hybrid for the price. That's all there is to it. It's the Switch but stronger, and that's what many people wanted.

>>714463023
false, emulators exist so that i can laugh at the latest bing bing wahoo that people are paying 80 dollars for

>>714463835
Switch 2 isn't going to be emulated for a long time. What happened to Yuzu and Ryujinx was to put a chilling effect on all this

>>714462098
You nailed it. Wii U was that weird in-between toddler phase where Nintendo was still figuring out what it wanted to be post-Wii. Great ideas, terrible execution. The tablet was clunky, devs didn’t know how to use it, and even Nintendo seemed unsure half the time.

Switch 1 hit the ground running because it offered what the Wii U promised but in a package that actually worked and made sense. That first year was magic - like, legendary-tier momentum. And now Switch 2 is just building on that foundation. Yeah, we’re gonna get some more ports, and yeah, they’ll probably sell like mad again because a bunch of people still never played them.

Nintendo figured it out: make good hardware that plays their games well, don't overcomplicate it, let third parties in when it makes sense. Simple formula but it works.

>>714463991
That and also this console is not getting hacked any time soon.

>>714463835
>Emulators exist becuase (insert schizo babble)
They exist because people want to play console games on their PC.

>>714464034
>Nintendo figured it out: make good hardware that plays their games well, don't overcomplicate it,
this didn't happen

>>714464085
It's been happening since the Super Nintendo.

>>714433135 (OP)
>>it's actually selling
lol

>>714464205
And then it ended with the DS & Wii.

>>714464229
DS was perfectly fine for a handheld in 2004

>>714464229
This is cope.

>>714464210
It's sold more than the Steam Deck has in its lifetime within one month. You bet it's selling

>>714458152
I've only just now gotten to playing it (though I did want it back in the day), and it's great. Admittedly though, it's made Mario Kart look a hell of a lot slower to me now

>>714464297
As a piece of hardware, the PSP came out in the same year and blew it out of the water.

>>714458152
F-Zero GX is one of the best games ever made. And if you want to talk futuristic racers, it's the best by a country mile and it's not even close. It emulates very well, even has a widescreen mode. You need to play it and you need to play it's Story Mode. One of the more challenging ones of any games I've played. Best played with a gamecube controller because the analogue triggers are important and the button layout just works for that game.

>>714464386
>b-but the PSP.
The original comment said Nintendo made good hardware that plays their games well, and that's always been the case.

>>714464549
How is it good hardware if the competition has way better hardware?

>>714464549
Also, it didn't play its games well. SM64 was crippled on the NDS.

The 3DS XL was perfect because it was sizable while still being portable due to the clam structure. All these "handheld PCs" are big and isn't something you can just whip out on the bus. Every time I think about getting something like a Steam Deck I think to myself "Why? I'm not going to bring it anywhere with me."

>>714464594
Something can be good without being absolutely top end

>>714464594
What exactly is your definition of “good”?

>>714464652
The 3DS XL was a little too big for me. Clamshell means you can take it with you without needing a case, but it's still too big for most pockets. The regular N3DS was ideal.

>>714464594
It's good for the games that Nintendo designs. It's good for the use case.

>>714464650
Given the hardware SM64 was a technical marvel.

What's funny is I don't remember anyone crying about the Gameboy's weak power, or the GBA's weak power. For a handheld, it played NES/SNES era style games and that was good enough because the games were great. And games still get made in that style to this day. Just increasing power doesn't guarantee that good games will be made. All that matters is that the hardware is good enough to run the games.

>>714464725
Not being a generation behind the competition? Why are you quibbling about this, this isn't tricky.

>>714464748
For the time when it came out, the GBA wasn't weak. As for the original Game Boy, when it launched the "better" hardware like the Game Gear was too crippled by bad battery life, bad LCD tech and poor portability that it wasn't actually any better. It also had an unusually long life.

>>714462656
Yes. It does. You fucking idiot.

Look at the software sales of every console Nintendo has ever released. Even the shitty consoles that flopped for one reason or another.

Every single time, the best selling software, is ALWAYS first party Nintendo games. There is a reason Mario, Pikachu and Link are amongst the most recognizable characters on this Earth.

Good games plus shitty console => Wii U => Mediocre sales

Good games plus great console => Switch 2 => Fastest selling console of all-time.

Shit games plus shit console => Xbox Series X => Dead brand

>>714464970
>Good games plus shitty console => Wii U => Mediocre sales
>Good games plus great console => Switch 2 => Fastest selling console of all-time.
say that again very slowly.

>>714458152
A roar of thunderous triumph that still reverberates to this day. It is eternally, a burning emblem that represents the immortal truth that there is a God of gaming. And he will beat the every living fuck out of you.

Over. And over. And over again. Until you reach somewhere deep inside yourself and find a strength you never even knew you had.

F-Zero GX should not exist. The game is literally too perfect. It was the perfect fusion of SEGA's all-star Arcade Division and Nintendo's all-star Home Console Division. It is without question the greatest racing game ever made. And I genuinely do not believe it is possible to create a better racing game than this.

All this said though, either play the game with a Gamecube controller or an 8bitdo Pro 2 or some kind of controller with functional analog triggers. Otherwise, don't bother playing it at all.

>>714465020

I do, but that doesn't the fact that there's no PC handheld that can run BOTW/TOTK/Odyssey at this higher fidelity 1080p 60 FPS, which is the gamechanger IMO.
>>714444170
They care about playing Nintendo games handheld at a decent fidelity in the official Nintendo ecosystem (ie using NSO). They want to play Smash and Animal Crossing online and in person with each other.
>>714442358
>people that decided to wait say how shitty the console is
Dude, you're so desperate for people to hate this console. It obviously has some ghosting and software support issues, all of which can be addressed in updates (p sure ghosting is just an overdrive setting with the display driver). Most people don't care. They want to play Mario, Zelda, Smash, Animal Crossing, and then like 3-5 other slightly less mainstream Nintendo IPs they grew up playing. More hardcore fans will enjoy most of the library and the performance boosts to the Switch 1 library, which have been rolling out like every 2 weeks now.

>>714466148
>which have been rolling out like every 2 weeks now.
NTA, but have more come out since launch?

>>714433135 (OP)

Switch is perfect for low spec games and the cartridges are solid state, no moving parts

>>714466748
Don't think that really counts
>>714466761
I forgor, was hoping for a regular batch release
Xenoblade X and TTYD have updates ready in their code so we at least know more are coming

>>714466854
What would be ideal is if they released Switch 2 patches once a month every month for like 2-3 years. This is wishful thinking, but it would build up so much goodwill. Ultimately, it depends on how quickly they proliferate their devkit.

>>714467069

I know it's difficult to comprehend for some /v/anons because they tend to play on platforms that have no games, but in the normal world, people tend to buy platforms for their games, and none of those you listed can play MK world or bananza or whatever else releases down the line, which is what people want to play, and what they buy the console for.

Anyone else too far invested in switch 1 to care about switch 2 right now? I have such a huge backlog at this point, I'm years away from even thinking about a new system. I'm actually looking foward to the firehouse of new games being cut off so I can catch up.

And this isn't even counting the cross-gen games. The meme works for PS5 because it only has one game after several years on the market, and the one game is Astro Bot.

You already got your answer yesterday.

>>714435691
This right here is the true reason steam deck and any other PC handheld will never sell.
The biggest hurdle every console has to overcome is building a library up. Once a system manages to get past that catch 22 then it's smooth sailing afterwards.
Deck should therefore be a guaranteed success because all 300M users or whatever BS number they're at now would immediately be able to play like 90% of their games right out of the box on deck.
Yet sales are shit and nobody gives a shit about it. If a $400 price tag and that compatibility with their existing games can't get steamies to open their parents pocket book then nothing will.

>>714476142
switch is the first Nintendo handheld without any backwards compatibility and will be its best selling ever by the time it dies

>>714433209
A pc
>inb4 that's not a handheld
Who cares, handhelds are for faggots

>>714476513
Switch is a hybrid, not a handheld.

>>714433494
>Most normies don't have the patience to learn how to fuck with Proton or emulators - and those with a dedicated gaming PC won't get much out of a Deck
None of this is true. You don't have to fuck with Proton and the Deck is a perfect PC companion device that you get more out of by having a good desktop.
Also, I've gifted one to a normalfag and not only has he used it to mod Elden Ring, it's replaced all his consoles. It obsoleted his Switch and his wife literally got him a PS5 at the same time and he barely touched it.

>>714477252
OK? It has no backwards compatibility with their consoles either. It had zero library when it launched.

>>714467610
S2 literally has one game and it's the worst Mario Kart in decades and Nintendo went in, saw how people wanted to play it, and took a shit on them. Your argument holds zero water. It's marketing, availability and brand. That's what moves the sheep to consume without question.

>>714433821
Mario kart is the most worth while game though?

>>714477252
It's a handheld with hdmi out. The marketing was truly phenomenal for tech illiterates.

>>714469791
>clueless ramblings
You fags work so well against your own self-interest. It'd almost be impressive if it weren't so sad.

>>714433135 (OP)
World War 3 is on the doorsteps, better buy a Switch 2 and enjoy it before the bombs starts dropping.

>>714464970
>Good games plus great console => Switch 2
>Good games
Where? It has literally 2 games, one of which is a paid manual, the other of which is the worst Mario Kart in ages, the most expensive Mario Kart, and Nintendo went in and made it worse after the fact.
It seems to me that the perception of the hardware/marketing matter most.

>>714455430
Can you play Splatoon 3 or MK World online on Deck or ROG?

>>714477946
Enjoy it with what?

>>714478129
Why would anyone want to? Nintendo literally went in and took a steaming shit on world because they didn't like how people were playing it.
You can play the better splatoon and mario karts online.

>>714478245
>You can play the better splatoon and mario karts online.
since when?

>>714477759
Tech illiterates like you?
Why are you insisting Switch 2 should be compared to Deck only in portable mode if docking, according to you, makes zero difference?

>>714478245
>Why would anyone want to play video games?
Gee, I wonder?

>>714476142
>The biggest hurdle every console has to overcome is building a library up
The switch killed backwards compatibility and started with nothing. PS5 has no games and it's still approaching 80m. Literally all that matters for those systems is marketing and physical availability, which the deck has virtually none of. Consoleplebs just have no clue how sheep-like they are. The literal definition of consoomer.
>Deck should therefore be a guaranteed success because all 300M users or whatever BS number they're at now
Reached over a billion accounts ages ago. They'd be around 40m daily active users and 200m monthly active users at this point and we can only guess what it would be annually.

>>714433209
>>714433218
PC and any PC handheld, obviously.

>>714433532
You fags are really still trying to go with the 'hurrdurr i ownz my gaemz' argument when nintendo has made it abundantly clear you don't even own your hardware and is rapidly killing physical? You have nothing. No control, you can only do what daddy nintendo says you can with their stuff that you bought for a small fortune.

>>714433135 (OP)
It actually has games

>>714433851
Because consoles have become absuive rancid dogwater. They used to have a purpose 20+ years ago with convenience and novel features, and dare I say soul, while PC was dead in the water. That's not the case anymore. PC has only been getting better while consoles have only been getting worse.

>>714433310
None of those are getting the new Nintendo games

>>714434470
I don't think anyone cares about astro bot, but yes, people thinking dk is going to be some must have are snorting pure copium. That's a nintendo diehard game, not a real system seller.

>>714478956
A paid manual and worst mario kart that nintendo made even worse, whoopee
Update your programming

>>714479384
>I don't think
We know

>>714478550
I never said anything about this, who are you talking about? And the deck has hdmi out and streaming too, but it wasn't marketed as a hybrid and pcfags actually know a bit more about tech.

>>714478612
What video games? Oh, you must be referring to the paid manual that costs hundreds of dollars to complete. Yeah, have fun with that, heard it's a blast.

>>714478663
>The switch killed backwards compatibility and started with nothing.
It launched with BotW and MK8D a month later, that's not nothing.
>PS5 has no games and it's still approaching 80m.
It's fully backwards compatible with PS4 and has the 3rd parties normies love. Its basically the default option.
>Literally all that matters for those systems is marketing and physical availability
Switch 2 may as well not exist physically with how fast it sells. It outsold Steam deck with nothing but online preorders.
For marketing, Valve has been blasting deck marketing on the steam front page to a billion people for years now. And yet all those people would rather spend 3X as much on a new jewvidia card than get a deck.

Switch only had 1 game for its first month too.

>>714479548
Sorry bro, it just doesn't have the brand power.

>>714479862
rough first year huh

>>714479620
And you, apparently, don't.
Deck is a handheld with HDMI out - plays games the same whether it's docked (dock sold separately) or undocked.
Switch and Switch 2 are hybrids - they use full power when docked and cut the clocks when undocked.

I would get it if a new Zelda or Mario would've released but right now?
Especially after everyone already knows that the first iteration will always have hardware failures it's best to just wait.

t. waiting for new mainline zelda

>>714433310
I know you are baiting but people on the internet really do believe the Deck is more powerful then the Switch 2.

>>714479749
It had nothing. People had to shell out hundreds of dollars for it and start a library from scratch.
The default option now is PC and it has been for years at this point. Consoles have lost, they'll just take a while longer to go away.
S2 exists physically, it can still be found in retailers, it's just out of stock online because that's the easiest option. The deck was also out of stock when the S2 came out, funnily enough, what odd timing.
For marketing, valve has been doing practically nothing. It's sold in one place that you need an account to access. It has no ads, no physical presence and relies entirely on word of mouth. Even your 'blasting' is just a small icon in the upper corner of the homepage that gets hidden during the frequent game sales and events.

>>714479862
It was a Wii U port, while Switch 2 has an exclusive.

>>714480207
Technically it was a double launch

>>714480121
>the deck gives you full control over how much power it uses at any given time
>the switches kneecap themselves in handheld mode without your consent
>this means the switches are hybrid and the deck isn't
Uh-huh...

>>714480137
Why would you get it if it was a game that sells worse than mario kart?

>>714480267
Technically it was a gimped wii u port that they ruined the wii u version for so as not to be outdone, which is why the ui is such ass.

>>714434706
>Switch 2 just came out
>Literally the only other game on Switch 2 is Mario Kart World, which is almost a month old now
>DK has the DK rap in it
It'll sell more than Astro Bot's lifetime thus far, to the point that Sony will scramble to put it up on PS+ and then cook the books to make it so subscribers count as game sales.

>>714480207
The sad thing is people think the sheikah slate is a smartphone or switch analogy. It was a wii u gamepad.

>>714480425
It's still not a port. It's a double launch
Anything else you said is irrelevant to It's launch.

>>714448857
Got a link for the pillow?

>>714435680
Really the issues with SV are the same ones that Mario Kart's devs avoided: Switch 1's hardware was too weak to really do what they wanted. Thankfully Z-A already showed it runs better even without the Switch 2 upgrade, Game Freak just needs to learn from this experience on just how resource-intense an open world game can become.

>>714480561
It was made for the wii u and literally delayed and ported to the switch.

>>714480705
It's doesn't matter.
It launched at the same time.
You could not play it on wiiu before the switch.

>>714433135 (OP)
>why is it selling
Nintendo made it. They can shit out anything and consoomers will buy it, no matter what, just because it's Nintendo.

>>714480665
I'm giving Scarlet and violet no excuses on hardware.
Botw already exists there no reason S/V looked and ran so terrible.

>>714435691
switch 2 has a 2 hour battery life as well

>>714434991
>absolute number of units sold is higher therefore it must be better
This is your brain on consumerism.

>>714480883
Difference is it can play cyber punk for 2 hours while the deck will die in 1 hour

>>714434991
Because you're marketing driven cattle.

>>714480940
Jas?

>>714439990
We literally have a mobile Mario Kart to compare and no it doesn't, but people really just didn't get it, given more power Nintendo did the opposite of what everyone else did, they didn't follow the trend of 200k tri characters with 15k tris just for hair cards, they added breath of the wild grass, added a detailed water simulation that's interactive and has gameplay relevance, they doubled the racer count, they integrated every course into a single open world, and they still managed to improve the graphics in terms of both more advanced rendering technology but also raw detail for every character.
You complained all gen that more power just went to graphics and here Nintendo went ahead and did significantly more than just graphics, and yet you faggots still complain, Shigeru is right, you retards don't know what you want unless it's to just complain about everything.

>>714481097
>has to lie to justify themselves working against their own self-interest
And even shit like welcome tour only lasts 2 hours. But of course, battery life being dogshit on the s2, battery life no longer matters. Just like oled doesn't matter. Or paid online. Or dlc. Or $80 games. Or nintendo retroactively shitting on that $80 game because they didn't like how people were skipping the shitty gimmick. Or nintendo killing physical and making it abundantly clear you don't even own the hardware. Or nintendo suing the shit out of everyone and everything. Nothing nintendo does matters when it's bad, but oh boy it's selling, that's something to gloat about right? Even while nintendo uses it to fuck you raw?

>>714480864
Xenoblade series, the crysis trilogy, sniper elite games and more show how incompetent gamefreak really is. Anyone expecting that UE5 game to be good is on serious drugs.

>>714480801
How do people square this with Nintendo's legacy of failed IP and hardware?

KART.
KONG.

>>714481583
Same way Disney can produce flops but Disney adults are still an unfortunate reality due to the rapid infantilization of modern society.

I wonder why nobody wants to buy the grestest gaming handheld out there. Truly a mystery.

>>714481570
Ocarina of Time 3d shows up the cliffs in Pokemon S/V Gamefreak are the least competent big name developer, the Jeets working on the Sands of Time remake that had the graphics of a 360 game did a better job than Gamefreak on Switch.

>>714481716
I thought you were talking about botw

>>714481703
Even if we ignore the fact 99.99% of games are playable regardless of verification status because Valve assumes a game won't work until they personally check it and Proton has gotten insanely good ever since 9 and only go by verified games, the number of verified games is still 4 times the Switch's total library.

>>714482004
>us tendies totally aren't the same as Diseny adults, w-we're so much better than THEY are
Holy cope.

Another retarded non point, Switch 2's success is really doing your head in, great.

You are the equivalent of a Disney adult, just for a different corporation. I'm sorry that revelation is upsetting you. If you don't like it, get your shit together.

>>714474484

the Switch 2 is shit but it's safe enough, Nintendo didn't fuck it up in obvious comical ways

The Deck really is the vastly better handheld. That's just a fact.

>>714484886
No, that'd be understandable.

>>714484653
I've got nothing innately against Nintendo, I grew up with them. I want them to earn their success, not just be carried by Disney adults and clueless normalfags who handwave away all their bullshit and cancer to enable modern Nintendo to become even worse.

>>714484886
Nah, that's understandable.
But what games? The paid manual that costs hundreds of dollars to complete, or the worst, most expensive mario kart that nintendo took a dump on because they didn't like how people were playing it?

>>714484965
>who handwave away all their bullshit and cancer

Give me an example.

>>714484965
Yet you were seething at their success putting it up to people who buy no matter what, in spite of a history big failures in terms of both software and hardware, you just can't get over the fact that Switch 2 is a product general game consumers want so you try and conflate these people with disney adults, even though Nintendo doesn't really have a fanbase anywhere near that dedicated or large with that level of fervour, you could maybe make that argument for Pokemon adults who literally do buy Pokemon no matter how bad a product it is, but that's not Nintendo as a whole, that's Pokemon as a side.
But like I said whatever helps you cope, don't worry Nintendo's success won't keep up forever, you won't have to make shit up in your mind to feel good about them succeeding.

>>714482485
Wiiu was away worse than xbox one

>>714485451
get real

>>714485352
It doesn't deserve success and it selling will only make Nintendo worse. As someone who still, for whatever reason, cares about Nintendo. This should bother you more than anyone if you had an ounce of self-respect or standards and weren't just a mindless brand cultist, aka a Disney adult.

>>714485491
Wii U sold worse, objectively it was a bigger failure

>>714485501
>It doesn't deserve success
Why not?
>and it selling will only make Nintendo worse
Really like what specifically?
The rest of your post just shows the cope, you're attacking me because the Switch 2 is a success, and well earned as well.

>>714485352
Nintendo shouldn't have to make blatantly broken, shitty games for you start recognizing there's a problem. Pokemon got to that state because retards kept buying it anyway, same as what's happening here. Even ignoring everything else, if Nintendo can see how people want to play their mediocre $80 Mario Kart and then take a hammer to that because it wasn't how they wanted their consumers to play, and that's not a wake up call for you, something is very wrong.

>>714485734
I'm attacking you because you say things like that. You are a Disney adult and no better than the modern Pokemon fan even if you want to think you are. You are the type of person who enabled modern Pokemon to be the dogshit that it is.

Yup, retarded concern troll got btfo out of the other threads so he's here to be a little bitch while trying to sieze the high ground, well go ahead and sieze deez nuts you little bitch, you have no argument but seethe and we both know it.
I'm done with replying to your bitch ass, you can't even bring up actual criticism apart from banal worrying about shit that you made up in your head.

>>714485527
The Xbox One killed the entire Xbox ecosystem and the brand has never recovered. At least the Wii U had good games that sold incredibly when they were ported to the Switch.

>>714486191
Bring some actual criticisms and I'd talk, I've got mountains of criticisms for Nintendo and their software and there's a lot of things I don't buy like Pokemon because it's shit, you're just a faggot that's mad that the Switch 2 is a success, I've already revealed it and there are people already agreeing, you've lost but you're still clinging with every inch of your soft faggot hands to the moral high ground.
I'm calling you a little bitch because of how you argue not because you have a hard on for hating Nintendo, because let's face it you are.

>>714486235
Most of them ARE former snoys, they fanboyed Sony to death and then jumped ship to do the same thing with Nintendo

>>714486114
yep. Tired of the idiot concern trolls that are like "I ACTUALLY care about nintendo" like they haven't been doing this same shtick for the past 8 years. We get it, you're mad that the switch 2 is successful despite your constant FUD and that "the pattern" you retards obsessed over was broken. people with actual criticism are able to articulate it instead of reposting the same trite disproven memes and appealing to generic statements.

>>714486368
>like they haven't been doing this same shtick for the past 8 years.
people have been warning about Nintendo ever since the first Switch released and they started doing paid online

>>714486339
Doubt, maybe those that liked their niche games that Sony yeeted hard, even then most of those companies still stick to Sony's butthole like it's their lifeline while ignoring Nintendo hardware as hard as possible, most of them probably jumped ship to PC, unless there are actual niche jap devs that for some reason are only on PS when PC and Nintendo exist.

>>714486470
Sony used to be known as the weeb console but that was replaced by the Switch, there are lots of former snoys among them

>>714486330
A criticism was brought up and all you did was sperg out. That's great you don't like the absolute state of modern Pokemon. Now ask yourself how it got to that point and look in a mirror.

>>714486738
No you didn't, you made up a bunch of retarded what if scenarios to concern troll and I called you out, and other anons in this thread noticed it and called you out too, even the last part of your post is retarded concern trolling, like you can't help yourself, what a faggot.

The people screeching snoy? They're turncoat snoys who fled to Nintendo after Sony went full retard, and now Nintendo is doing the same thing, but these fanboys are too dumb for PC so all they can do is screech.

>>714487004
You're fervent snoyim that loves sony movie games isn't moving to Nintendo hardware, at best you're weeb type did and most likely begrudgingly, you're right that they are in the fami threads, they are usually seething as hard as possible at that shit too.

>>714433135 (OP)
Most normalfags pretend that the other options are "too complicated" for them, and that's probably for the best. They've already ruined mainstream gaming. Why would we want them in the emulation space?

Spewing bullshit in defense of a corporation and bending over for everything it does really is all you know how to do. I wonder what other kind of person does that. Oh right, Disney adults and Pokemon fans. Funny that you think you're any better to them and your rabid zealotry isn't leading to the same outcome.

>>714486989
It has games in the same way the PS5 has games but you bipolar idiots aren’t spamming linkin park memes about it.

>>714487510
Nintendo always makes their best games when they're least successful.

>>714487323
Nintendo Switch 2 games are timed exclusives moving to PC?

>>714487510

You only claim to like old Nintendo games because you don't consider them a threat to you.

Yeah it was just a coincidence everyone online was choosing random. They didn't mean to be skipping intermissions, they just really really wanted to be surprised.

You can run at 30 watts which is marginally better than running at 25 watts handheld (25w has awful battery though.) You can also buy an EGPU for much better performance but the OG Ally is locked to a proprietary one

I was hyped for BotW. Got it on my Wii U.
Unfortunately I was smart enough to see what it was after about 5 hours or so and it was just another nail in the coffin for me. Should've been a new IP and dickriding spineless journos who are beholden to ad revenue and sucking off big publishers doesn't change that.

>>714488149
Minmaxers were ruining the game for everyone.

Go play MK8 or Mario Tennis Aces and see how utterly fucking RUINED those games are because of minmaxers.

Same thing was in danger of happening to MKW.

I'm glad Nintendo stopped the rot. The game is far more balanced as a result. Even a filthy casual like me can play online and occasionally come first. Loving it.

>>714488197
Then why am I making you so damn mad? Just ignore me and my hot takes, bro.

>>714488312
did you even clear one of the divine beasts in that time?

>>714488207

>>714488384
Forcing intermissions has literally nothing to do with minmaxers. Fuck right off. What they should be doing is fixing the absolutely ridiculous amount of bagging, but no, seeing how people wanted to avoid this shitty gimmick upset them more.

>>714488207
you fell for the bait anon, he wasn't asking because he wanted a real answer

>>714488468
nta but i 100%ed BOTW and I kinda agree with him. I loved that game but it ain't the Zelda I grew up with and it's kinda sad Nintendo might never make another game like Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess

>>714488468
Yeah, the camel. I also made it to the top of Hyrule Castle shortly after leaving the plateau and got through the blights before stopping myself because I didn't want to beat it after only 3 hours. Bit of a mistake since I ended up hating and dropping it.

>>714488614
My point is that it takes a while to get into BOTW. I wasn't hooked until I gave the second or third try.
But yes, it does suck that we're not gonna get an OoT-style Zelda again.

>>714488527
>What they should be doing is fixing the absolutely ridiculous amount of bagging

So you hate every Mario Kart game?

Like I said, MKW is far more balanced, recovery times are shorter, the game is juts far more fun. You can be in 20th place on the final lap and rather feeling hopeless, you know you have a chance of still coming first.

That's pretty fucking amazing and I love it.

>>714488743
>My point is that it takes a while to get into BOTW
I strongly disagree with that. It hooks you really well right at the start when it's most like a Zelda and the world seems so big and full of wonder and content before it all goes downhill.

>>714488973
I never liked bagging, no, and it has never been this bad. When a bunch of people are dead stopping or driving backwards or just driving shitty until the end, that's a problem. Surely there's a better way for 8 year olds to feel like they're not sucking so bad than making the game worse for everybody. Nintendo is supposed to be good at designing games, I'm sure they could figure this out.

Never happens. Stop making up complete fucking bullshit. You clearly haven't played the game.

None of those fill the niche the switch does.
You wanna know why I bought my Switch years ago? Because it is designed for people that actually play with friends. Throw it in a bag with another pair of joycons and you can set up at a mates place and just play some brawl with four people. I frequently take 4-5h train rides with my wife to visit her or my family, and the switch is godsent there as well. Set it up in table mode, pull out the two joycons and just play any of the coop games
>Overcooked
>Super Mario 3D
>Enter the Gungeon
>Stardew Valley'
>Rayman Legends
>Mario Kart
>Animal Crossing
And no, I don't care about the framerate or how it doesn't have a 4k HDR ultra display or how the Steam Deck or Asus ROG will fuck my ass while jerking me off, none of those devices weigh less than 300g and have two integrated controllers for casual play.

>>714489550
Just because you want to pretend it doesn't, doesn't determine reality. What do you think bagging is exactly dude? How do you think people achieve it?

>>714489564
>clearly has the brightness turned down on Switch 2

Try harder.

First Mario Kart son?

Let me say it again, Mario Kart World is far more balanced. So that shitty tactic doesn't guarantee success. Keep seething..

>>714489728
Nice cope. The funny thing is that's not even the deck oled.

>>714489772
Which is why the PS5 is on track to already outsell the PS3 and any other Sony console other than the PS4 :)

>>714489773
It's fake bro. Read the fucking description, he has it set to Auto Brightness.

>>714489773
And it's not failing so what are you going to do? Keep crying and shitting your pants on a chechen diving bell repair forum?

>>714489856
>Mario Kart World is far more balanced. So that shitty tactic doesn't guarantee success
It's anything but balanced. They just made the item spam 24 times worse so there's even more rng. That doesn't mean the strat doesn't work, it's still better than just racing well.

>>714489943
Yawn. Do plan to spend the next 8 years of your life seething everyday at half a dozen anons on 4chan?

>>714433135 (OP)
>It's actual selling
Says who

>>714433135 (OP)
It's sold its initial stock to the Nintendo cultists. It's not selling again, it's a Wii U situation

>>714490041
Nice friendly fire on your fellow fanboy, Arthur.

>>714490005
>It's anything but balanced

So how come I - a filthy fucking casual - can play online and occasionally win. I always feel like I'm with a chance no matter what.

I've watched my 7 year old son beat these minmaxing faggots, and it's beautiful sight to see. The game remains fun for everyone with you degenerate troons ruining it.

Feels good. Looking forward to the MKWeekend on /v/ later.

>>714489913
Yes, consoles exist because people will pay a premium to not have to fiddle around.

I used to be a hardcore PC gamer, but after spending all day getting dumbass corporate software to work the last thing I want to do at home is fuck around with Proton.

>>714490164
We have reset the Switch meltdown back to YEAR ZERO for the Switch 2. This is your life.

No tortanic for you. Enjoy the next 8 years

>>714490246
First of all I sincerely hope you're lying about having a kid or he has a very unfortunate parent who needs to get the fuck off /v/, stop dickriding a corporation and be an actual respectable adult. Second of all you are literally describing how unbalanced and rng heavy it is that you and your supposed 7 year old can win despite not being any good. That's not balance, that's rng.

>>714433135 (OP)
Remember how well the PS5 sold when it was new and how people were tripping over themselves to get them? Same shit, people don't even care if it has any games worth playing, they just want the new thing they were told they can't live without.

>>714490350
You didn't answer me

>>714490387
Sounds like you're jealous anon is happy and you aren't

Switch 2 doesn't have games yet

PS5 was boosted by COVID and Christmas

>>714490458
Switch 2 – 161.021 (1.402.183)
one month later btw
How many weeks will it take for your "initial stock" cope to run out?

>>714490256
You don't have to fuck with proton. I've played hundreds of games on my deck and the amount of times I've had to so much as just switch to protonge, which takes 2 seconds, has been like half a dozen. The deck is basically a console in how convenient it is, and it has way more features and is way more consumer friendly.

>>714490387
>That's not balance, that's rng.

No thats balance. Minmaxing faggots are seething because they can't dominate and ruin the game for everyone.

Apart from pricing niggers out of own a Switch 2, the MKW might be the most based thing Nintendo has ever done.

Also, nothing wrong with being old on 4chan. The tragic thing would be wasting your youth in this fucking cartoon board.

>>714490505
I am genuinely concerned for a supposed child who has a parent who is acting like this. Just a sad state of affairs.

>having to download shaders is consumer friendly

>>714490587
So after 3 million in 4 days...it only manages 1 mill after 3 weeks? This is your big win? Kek

>>714490571
PS5 was supply constrained during COVID. Switch got a much bigger COVID boost.

>>714490821
japan only btw

Such as?

>>714490783
???
You realize all games have shaders, right? And instead of just compiling them when it's least convenient, steam downloads them ahead of time so you don't have to wait and deal with it.

>>714490903
It was supply constrained in the first place because people were locked up and wanted to buy new shiny thing out of boredom

>>714490913
Oh so it's even LESS world wide

>>714491195
Are you retarded? lmao

>>714491251
he's a favela monkey mad he won't be able to emulate it prease undostando

>>714490783
You have no idea what you're talking about. Shader compilation affects every game and system and causes longer load times and can even cause stutter in games. Because the deck hardware is all the same, valve is able to let users download precompiled shaders in the background to avoid all that. So yes, it's consumer friendly. And if you don't like it for whatever reasons, there's options stop or purge downloaded shaders.
