I’m so sick of click bait.

[–] Jaeger86@lemmy.world 29 points 4 months ago

Yay more clickbait titles

Geezus fucking hell, 40 minutes. For the answer that is just "do the same thing as the first Switch because that thing prints money despite what everyone predicted".

For Nintendo, the main purpose is to put a dent in piracy.

You can bet your ass anti-piracy measures will be the biggest upgrades made to the console.

Switch games were being emulated quickly after release and there's a lot of PCs with the same form factor now that are technically beefy enough to emulate stuff. (*looks at SteamDeck)

This breaks the previous emulation cycle and gives them a chance to boost anti-piracy measures since they're clearly not beefing up the Switch 2 to PC hardware standards.

The hardware will defnitely be emulatable on other systems, so they have to dump everything into anti-piracy measures.

I mean they don't have to but this is Nintendo we are talking about here.

Gee the Steamdeck lets people play nearly every game they or their parents played including their 20 year old Steam library. Nintendo could make a handheld console to do the same thing, but they wont. Good luck. When the Switch came out it was something unique, but the rest of the world makes handheld consoles with far more to offer. I think they should take note of how Sony has leveraged Steam and start releasing games on other platforms. Arguably Nintendo's greatest strength is their software and it's their hardware that is its weakness more than ever.

Not watching this, but they won't do it right. It'll be disappointing, under-powered, with little to no backwards compatibility, and a shit network with the same generic kind of garbage games Nintendo always releases. Everyone will buy the shit out of it cause they're morons.

Haven’t checked the video because the comments say enough. Though perhaps here are three takes;

  • Make prices decent and not €70 for a 8 years old game.
  • Decent hardware that allows at least 60FPS.
  • Have decent joycons (I keep reading that there are issues with it).

Though, doesn’t matter for me. Will never purchase a console or game from that shit company. Rather put on the eyepatch for this company.
