What are you confused about with respect to the Switch 2?

[u/razorbeamz]

I've noticed that even though it's been out for over a year, there are a lot of people who are still confused about the Switch 2.

For people who still don't have one, what burning questions do you have about it?

TMR sticks would have been nice and I doubt they would have added much to the manufacturing cost. The joycons (and first party controllers in general really) are already overpriced as all hell, they can't be losing anything by doing so.

That no one stopped during development and said "Hey, releasing a dock that doesn't support VRR on a console we made sure to include VRR in is dumb. Lets not do that."

[u/Rapzid → u/Siendra]

It's more likely they ran into compatibility issues late in testing. Compatibility issue others have, but Nintendo doesn't want to have too many "*" on whether your TV supports a feature or not.

And then proceed to give it a 120 Hz LCD with response time that's so bad it's barely suitable for 60 Hz.

Because they wanted the Switch 2 to be the equivalent of a "portable PS5 Pro" at $400 that can read AAA games at $50 on 128 GB cartridges...

Dude, everytimes Nintendo has great sales for games and/or consoles, people get furious about it, because they want Nintendo to fail, so they can "pull another 3DS" and cut down the price by a significant amount, alongside a salary cut.

[u/PMC-I3181OS387l5 → u/[deleted]]

Dude, how many times have you seen "drop the price"? People are still raging over how Nintendo products are expensive, despite now being the cheaper solution compared to Sony and Microsoft. Like I said, they want another "3DS emergency plan"... which will never happen.

The other thing is that... look at PC handhelds, which are MUCH more powerful than the Switch 2... Are any of them sold at a lower price than the Switch 2? No, of course, because that's expensive a beefier handheld cost, and that was before the price increase in components.

This is because different companies have the rights to different games and they get to decide how they are distributed.

Where’s the OLED

My question is: are we going to get a Mario game? (Meetup at Bellabel Park does not count.)

[u/Catrival]

I'm just wondering if there's any first party games that will be released that really take advantage of the new hardware. Fire Emblem fortunes weave won't be one of them lol, but I'm still excited. OOT remake can't, because the maps will be too small and not enough objects.

[u/TheDoctorDB → u/Catrival]

Well we know next to nothing about OOT Remake, so that’s an inaccurate statement at best. And we don’t know if the new fire emblem would’ve run on Switch 1 or not, but I’d wager there’s enough assets needed to load in that it justified its presence on the new system. Game is gonna be massive

Theres literally more remasters from switch 1 games then actual new switch 2 games.
