The hardware leaves much more on the table dormant without a power supply than NS1 did so we'll see.

It will be interesting to see when released how games will perform. I played spiderman remastered on my rog ally a few months ago and thought wow this looks almost like the ps5 version. It looked great on the small screen.
But when I docked it to my 65 inch tv it looked and performed way worse and looked even below the ps4 version in some ways lol. I think playing something like cyberpunk on switch 2 on a big tv is gonna be pretty eye opening.

Yeah it's like how Tears of the Kingdom looks better handheld than docked, because even though the docked system has more power, it's not enough to prevent it from looking as pixelated as SNES on a 65 inch screen. (I use a 1080 47" set for docked games and it served me very well, Zelda looked good).
Thing is this time they have DLSS and a bigger power boost. So I agree it will be very interesting to compare when it's in our hands.

This is what a lot of people on here don't get. I'm enthusiast and hardcore by some definition, playing games for 33 years now. About three or four of those I gave a shit about performance/resolution, the rest of the time I played games and enjoyed them.
Would I be happy if most devs prioritise 60fps and then build their game around it? Most definitely. But most don't, so I have a decision to make. And my decision is having fun with the games, and I can manage that even if they run like shit like Shadow of the Colossus on PS2 back in the day. Ran at 16fps sometimes....made it to the top of my top10 immediately.
The Switch2 won't have an impact like the first one, but lower resolutions and framerates in comparison with ps5pro and the like won't be the reason.
Most people will be more than happy with the capabilities of this thing, me included

The game looks fucking great on Switch 2. Without being on my actual gaming setup I can't even tell much of a difference. Switch 2 is a very powerful console for a portable. There is also another thread about it kicking the steamdecks ass on cyberpunk and another article about it kicking the XSS ass on SF6, and many more. The thing is badass. Nintendo is going to cook on this thing.

If the Wii U's gimmick, branding and everything else hadn't been all wrong, the graphics would have been good enough.
75 million MK8 on Switch vs 8m on WiiU has to be explained with something more than that many people demanded a portable version or no buy.

the Wii U's hardware wouldn't have been good enough to get third party support even on the level of the Switch 1.
the Wii U's hardware lacked modern features that ports of Xbox One and PS4 games would need to even function correctly.
there's a reason many cross gen games from gen7 to gen8 often needed a ton of reworking, sometimes completely different engines/older engine versions to be possible.
Forza Horizon 2 on 360 runs on a last gen engine compared to the Xbox One version. it's not even entirely the same game and is paired back in terms of open world freedom. and Rise of the Tomb Raider was developed by a separate team that had to create Xbox 360 compatible assets to function.
even tho the Switch wasn't much more powerful than the Wii U (basically on par with it in handheld mode), its way more modern nvidia GPU meant porting gen8 games was actually possible without a full engine rework or a full asset swap.
Doom 2016 would probably not be possible on the Wii U in the form it runs on Switch, neither would Witcher 3.

This is not a very demanding game, and I guess that a PS4/Xbox One port could have been made. The first point still holds in handheld mode.

On PS5 Pro the game is locked to native 4K and 60fps. However it goes down to 1523p or so on PS5 so the enhanced version already gets a substantial resolution increase (~62%) in those moments nearing the TFlops improvements.
Who knows how higher it could run on PS5 Pro.

It's basically a ps4 game.

That's %10 FOMO right here, it's basically a ps4 game without the official support.

It's a ps4 game. The game is centered around 5 year old technology and the switch 2 is just benefiting from years of optimization and peak DLSS by comparison. I'm actually surprised it doesn't run the DLC better than it does.

And?
And what? You want to believe everyone that isn't praising this is what, a hater? I just see most people giving their opinion.
