[@Nifterific]

People need to quit pretending the 2DS wasn't a single screen split to display as two screens. "Oh, you just can't do it without two screens!" is complete bullshit. The way any DS or 3DS emulator does screen display is just how a 2DS did it. Playing DS and 3DS games on a Steam Deck is how a 2DS displays them. The idea that Nintendo has to "abandon" however many years of their handhelds if they don't include a second screen is just absurd. Hell, the Switch, PS4, and XB1 all have the Mega Man Zero/ZX collection which includes two DS games. Nintendo by no means needs to include a second screen people just need to not be stupid.

[@faeranne]

People keep saying "Steam Deck exists because of the switch", but seem to miss that the steam deck was originally conceived as a Steam Machine back in 2015, including most of the design elements. It was only put off due to a lack of decent mobile hardware. The idea of "portable console/pc" is not "innovative", it's expected. We had 5 generations (including dsi) of "portable consoles" before the switch. GPD Win has been making portable gaming pc's for almost a decade. Nothing about the switch being portable was innovative. Nintendo's innovation was, at best, the joycons, and only in the sense that dedicated, integrated, and detachable controllers were used (which I do consider an innovation). Likewise, the steam deck's only "innovation" was steam os 3, which was the key reason it was as successful as it was. Neither was innovative in the portable space, plain and simple.

[@warthunder1969]

I would argue the inspiration of a swtich-like device was from the Wii-U rather than the switch itself

[@Lemon-Honey-Bear]

I bought an original Switch just after Nintendo got the stock issues under control. I got bored with it relatively quickly and used it off and on since. Most recently, I've disconnected the dock and left it uncharged. It hasn't been charged in so long that I think the battery might be ruined. Steam Deck, on the other hand, I play most of my PC games on it now at least 50% or more and love it.

[@LPcrazy_88]

I wouldn't say Nintendo doesn't innovate they are just incredibly lazy and uncaring about actual quality. They specifically designed the Switch to be underpowered (the CPU is undervolted) and chose older hardware on purpose because they didn't design a true console, they designed a modern gameboy. Not since the N64 has Nintendo ever cared about pushing the limits of power and capability of their consoles, they have decided they are a children's company and leaned into that for decades now.

[@nathanjustice4253]

Any third party game on Switch is developed to run on the console. However, not all run well or have the same graphics. The point is companies will work on the game to run on the console. Also we know nothing about the console. We only have supposed leaks and rumors Nintendo is focusing on Switch until further notice. There might be something in the summer or fall. Until then we just have to wait.

[@kitsune7919]

Can we just acknowledge that with Nintendo, already using ARM for switch could literally just invest in a Apple like custom silicon solution that for Gaming would exceed every single other system on the Market, even 99% of peoples x86 based gaming pcs and establish the absolute superiority in raw power Nintendo was famous for in the 80s and 90s. But that would make too much sense now does it?

[@FirstAmendmentComedy]

The Switch is in my top 3 consoles of all time and I haven’t picked it up since TotK came out. The console is still great but if I want to play anything new there’s no way I’m playing it on the Switch. Nintendo is gonna need to drop something pretty powerful to remain a legitimate option.

[@matthewrichardson2533]

I heard the switch 2 will be about a ps4 in power. Which isnt bad for a handheld

[@Merkantoine]

Depends on when it releases, the steam deck is about as powerful as a PS4 and it's already 2 years old now, by the time the switch 2 releases it going to need to at least be as powerful as the one X or PS4 pro at least when docked, if it's as powerful as the base PS4 and isn't released by early 2025 it's going to be severely underpowered for what it's probably going to cost at launch Besides performance, the biggest concern imo is hall effect joysticks being standardized and Nintendo finally making a real online infrastructure comparable to what we've had since the 360 If they get those 2 things right they might have a shot at making another homerun

[@matthewrichardson2533]

@@Merkantoine hopefully. I kinda hope there's more to the switch 2 than switch games at 60 fps

[@Merkantoine]

@@matthewrichardson2533 just getting features that have been basically standard on other systems for almost 2 decades would be great by itself but yeah they need to pull off something impressive to justify the (I'm assuming) 400$ ish price tag Kinda hard to justify the price of the switch right now when it's sometimes more expensive than a series S

[@Nobody-sp7ug]

That's in peak theoretical performance, for switch 2 in handheld mode, clocked around 600mhz. Ps4 architecture uses a now pretty old architecture. It can't actually come anywhere near its peak theoretical flops compared to rdna or ampere (switch 2). Here's an example of why. Gcn has 1 scheduler per cu. It can issue 1 warp per clock and takes 4 cycles to process one warp. Ps4 has 18 cu's for 18 schedulers in total. Ampere has 4 schedulers per sm, they can each issue and resolve a warp in 1 cycle. Switch 2 gpu has 12 sm's for 48 schedulers in total. Although ps4 doesn't have a portable mode, so it doesn't make much sense to compare it to switch 2 portable instead of docked, which will be around 3 - 3.5 Tflops (1 to 1.2 ghz) to ps4's 1.8 tflops.

[@Merkantoine]

@@Nobody-sp7ug I mean that's to be expected that something that comes out 10 years later is going to have noticeably more performance. Just wondering if Nintendo is going to shoot themselves in the foot again with an underpowered system

[@HM71787]

I love Nintendo Switch, the problem is if you compare any of the $60 games to any $60 games on any other console you get your money worth from other consoles, the switch has its pros but my bigeest problem is I bought so many of the $60 switch games and they are just trash in my opinion I didnt enjoy them much but there are a few that I do enjoy it for if I was really into video games and played at home I definitelywouldnt choose the nintendo but since I like playing on the go and here and there its just fine for me!

My problem with the Nintendo switch is it’s to big to carry around, also it was very easy to beat Mario kart 8 deluxe. And they removed the store/ Nintendo E-shop on the 3DS. I never really found the new 3DS in the smaller size and the XL was just too uncomfortable to hold so I’d like to go back to the original 3DS and be able to play VVVVVV. I’m pretty sure it’s not on the new system, but I don’t know.

[@haruhipalomo4636]

Unless the switch 2 has a one of a kind gaming feature I don't think It'll be better than a steam deck Mainly because steam is just that convenient, if I want pure power and graphics, I can play the games on my pc but if I want to go somewhere, I can use the steam deck and continue where I left off And I don't have to worry about backwards compatibility

[@MIBxSpartan]

All I'll say I would rather play my New Nintendo 3DS over my Nintendo switch any day.
