I love playing ys games so much, the year+ wait after release asia release - for NISA to get their crap together is painful.

I’ve got a steam deck and a host of other steam deck competitors that do that and more now.

Psyduck_world,

I’ve got steam deck and ROG ally, both barely do 720p 45fps PS4 pro level games, and forget about battery life.

SuperSaiyanSwag,

The appeal of Nintendo console is first party exclusives and whatever the new gimmick may be (I don’t mean that word as a bad thing, I have loved most of their gimmicks). Powerful hardware just means that it can potentially have a good third party support, so that you’re not left playing just the first party games.

Uh huh.

I mean sure, two outlets reporting it, but I’ll believe it when I see it. With the Switch Pro/2/U/360/Series N in particular, the leaks were always so outlandish and in the end turned out false, while we can clearly assume the overall news about a Switch successor being in development to be real, any specific piece of news I’d immediately discard and put into the “made up stuff”-folder for the time being.

fckreddit,

Remember when Switch was comparable to PS4?

Or when they told us that you’d be able to cross platform with xbox and you play streaming xbox games to get better graphics.

Mudface,

This report would make the switch more powerful than a steamdeck. I’ll believe it when I see it

Terrible title. “Switch 2 supports ray tracing and will use upscaling” is the summary. Which is obvious, it won’t be anywhere near consoles, it’s like 1/7th resolution.

ieightpi,

Yeah damn click bait titles

jmcs,

That’s not what the article says, the values in the patent are an example. It’s not out of realm of possibility to have something that can match at least the Series S when docked while still supporting a portable mode.

AProfessional, (edited )

Sure, it is a garbage patent anyway, the Steam Deck does upscaling when docked too, woohoo.

This hardware isn’t a mystery, it’s a newer mobile ARM SoC using a newer Nvidia architecture supporting RT and DLSS. It will run at a low resolution. Probably max of 1080p, probably plenty of 720p on more demanding games. All upscaled.

And to be clear that’s fine, it is what a Switch 2 was always going to be.

Nintendo hasn’t even gotten a hold of being a game company in 2023. Maybe they should focus on catching up, as the switch has stagnated and the eshop is filled with trash

DreamySweet,

Every game store is filled with trash though.

echo64,

yeah, but not like the eshop. the eshop is a dumpster fire of a store. it’s what steam used to be before valve tried to build automatic curation systems. the eshop is 100x worse than every other game store available today. I don’t even look at it because I know that I can’t find anything interesting between all the crap

I can 100% look at other stores, i just look through the new releases on my playstation every few months and generally find something i want

BruceTwarzen,

I have not owned a console in a decade or so, i only play on PC. I bought a switch for my nephew to play around when he visits. I literally only ever held a switch once and i didn't really know what to expect. I like a lot of the hardware part. Like controllers are super easy to pair, they even show up in the right colour, i like how you can use them in different ways. Docking and undocking, handheld mode, all very cool. But oh my, the eshop is a nightmare. The nintendo account thing took me a while until it worked for unknown reasons. What i absolutely despise tho is that i bought mario kart and i paid full price for that game that came out in 2014. It had dlc tracks (that was expected i guess) and they just show up as normal tracks with a slightly different symbol. These assholes know exactly what they are doing. Kids keep pressing these tracks until the parents spend 25 or so more bucks for some more tracks on a game from 2014 that still costs full price.
I assume they do that with smash as well an all of these games. I loved nintendo when i grew up, like a lot. But now i really just regret that i gave them money.

donuts,
@donuts@kbin.social avatar

Honestly I think Nintendo are killing it in 2023. I loved TotK and Pikmin 4, and have high hopes for Mario Wonder and the SMRPG remake. Yeah the switch is aging out, but it's no big secret that a Switch 2 is deep in development and probably coming next year.

Son_of_dad, (edited )

I hadn’t touched my switch in about 6 months before TOTK came out and haven’t touched it since I finished it. I notice I have been using my switch about as much as I used my Wii U. It’s more of a dedicated Mario Kart machine that I occasionally use for a AAA Nintendo game like Zelda or Mario, but it’s mostly just there for when I have friends over and we want to Mario Kart

donuts,
@donuts@kbin.social avatar

Sure. I absolutely use my Steam Deck more than my Switch. But still, my favorite releases this year have been Nintendo games (although I hear good things about Balder's Gate 3).

xyzzy,

Your anecdotal experience doesn’t really seem to match up with sales numbers.

Speaking personally, I go stretches not playing the Switch and then months where I play nothing else. There are a zillion great games for it, and if they don’t interest you that’s more about your interests than the Switch itself.

all companies seem to be "evolving" into some bullshit subscription service, instead of a business that produces things customers use

Sorry I don’t believe this one

toasteecup, w Nintendo Is "Evolving" Into An Entertainment Company, According To Doug Bowser

I had a bit of a rant about this a while back when I was playing Splatoon with friends.

The crux of the argument is this “if we stop trying to look at Splatoon as a good game and instead look at it as an entertaining game, the issues we run into make sense. The bugs glitches and bad balancing issues don’t matter as much from an entertainment standpoint. You get in you play and you’re entertained. Even if the match drops you can get back in an be entertained. It doesn’t mean it’s a good game, but it is entertaining.”

My friend’s and I are now freaking out about my prophetic words.

DharkStare, (edited )

I have to ask then: what’s the difference between a good game and an entertaining game?

From my perspective, games exist to be entertaining so if a game is entertaining then it is a good game. I don’t know what other metric would be used to determine if a game is good.

toasteecup,

Unfortunately that’s the part of the rant I don’t remember. I had a pretty decent definition for both a good game and an entertaining game and why they aren’t exactly the same thing but I also had a decent amount of beer that night.

If I think of it I’ll reply to your comment again with the update.

Mobile games, case in point. They often aren’t designed to be good or even fun, they’re designed to maximize playtime over the long term

That means you start off making it fun and easy to advance, but then you start to back off on the rewards and make them grind and wait more and more. It’s the Facebook technique

So this whole time they haven’t been producing entertainment products. Curious.

(I know what he’s saying, I’m just having a laugh.)

SupraMario,

Lol that’s what I was thinking…so my NES/SNES/64/Wii/wiiu/switch have all been…??? Educational or something else that’s not entertaining lol

Rockslide0482,

Man, I learned a TON about the Caribbean sea islands and colonial era big cities from Pirates on the NES. Countless hours spent pouring over this map to find hidden treasure and hunt down leads

jmcs,

Maybe the article explains exactly what he meant. Just maybe. (Spoiler alert: it’s not maybe, it’s literally in the beginning of the article)

TheMorningStar,

But how can I make snarky comments if I read the article?

son_named_bort,

I know right? I could’ve swore they produced an entertainment system back in the 80’s.

and TV shows… and later a Mario movie (the better one)…

theragu40, w Nintendo Is "Evolving" Into An Entertainment Company, According To Doug Bowser

This feels like a very natural progression to me, I really don’t see a problem with it as long as they continue to make sure their games are the core of the model and use other media as supplemental ways to build up brand and character awareness. I think anyone would agree that some types of stories are better told via games and others via movies, shows, or books. Broadening their scope allows for more stories to be told.

And theme parks or things of that nature are just cool ways for people to tangibly experience Nintendo IP.

I’m all for it.

QuincyPeck, w Nintendo Is "Evolving" Into An Entertainment Company, According To Doug Bowser

I know it’s his real name, but Doug Bowser sounds like some fake shit the real Bowser would use to disguise his identity.

I really hope he was the best candidate when Nintendo were choosing a new NOA president (afiak, he’s been doing a good job), but I feel his last name definitely made him stand out from the other candidates.

Chariotwheel,

Maria Mario, Luigi Mansion, Supersmash Bros: Melee, Sam Aran, and Zelda Williams all were very upset.
