…assuming you are not going to be over the limits of the CPU in that title is a relatively big asterisks.

The same studio says the CPU is barely faster than the PS4's Jaguar CPU and XSS has a much faster per clock CPU running at about 2x the clock speed (Jaguar vs Zen 2).

I think part of the reason for the 60fps qualifier might be because running that game at 30fps on a Switch would require half the CPU power.

Nintendo Switch 2 Q&A with Virtuos: 'I Think We Will See It Surpass The Predecessor'

We spoke with two developers from Virtuos, a 20-year-old game development studio, to discover their impressions of the Nintendo Switch 2.

wccftech.com

Firstly, Nintendo recently announced that the Switch 2 sold over 3.5 million units in the first four days, making it the fastest-selling console ever in that timeframe. Were you expecting this level of success? What's your outlook for the console's near future?

Eoin: Given the phenomenal success of the Switch, expectations for the sales performance of the Switch 2 were already quite high. Nintendo has a huge pool of loyal fans, but alongside that, the handheld...

Don't forget to add another 10 to 20 bucks to the price of the game for no goddamn reason.

You make it sound like you not foaming at the mouth at paying full price for 7 year old ports just to play them on the go.

Heck if you close your eyes and pretend that the Steam Deck doesn't exist one might just be able to justify these absurd prices assuming your only goal is to play these games on the go.

The Switch did inevitable become a Port Station Portable + Nintendo games on top so I expect a Port Station Portable 2 to be a thing again.

Head in Gutter moment. I misread the topic title as "prolific porn studio."

I read "prolific porn studio...."

Glad I was not the only one.

A lot of people seem to have this weird mentality that "if it doesn't appeal to me, then I don't understand how it can appeal to anybody."

Like, it's not that deep, for some people convenience and portability trump graphics, and most of the market just doesn't care about Steam Deck or other PC handhelds.

I guess I could play games on my iPad Pro. It has the best screen, and is the fastest of all of my computer devices. But for games, I do prefer Nintendo.

Personally I only play games nowadays because of certain games that Nintendo make, with a few third party games as a bonus or variation. I would have stopped playing games years ago otherwise, if not Nintendo managed to pull me back into the gaming space time and again with another Zelda, Advance Wars, Animal Crossing, Mario, Donkey Kong or something new from Monolith Soft. So power does not really enter into the equation as anything more than it is nice to have more power and I had to have the Switch 2 in order to play Nintendos new games in the years ahead. But only power without Nintendos games, no deal.

I had a friend at college more than a decade ago that was a dudebro graphics whore who's identity was based on shitting over the Wii and how much better PS360 were, etc.

We talked recently after so many years and he's saying the same exact things you're saying lol. He's mad at Sony since the PS4 gen and is basically a Nintendo worshipper because they are "the only true gaming company these days".

It's incredible how much things have changed since 7th gen...

I think part of the reason for the 60fps qualifier might be because running that game at 30fps on a Switch would require half the CPU power.

That's exactly what he said, if it's very GPU dependant then it's gonna be a direct port with maybe some feature set down and will perform at the same frame rate, if it pushes CPU too much at 60 fps, it can be petted to Switch 2 without much issue at 30 fps, but if it pushes CPU at 30 FPS then it's gonna be very difficult to port to Switch 2. But in that case even PS5 Pro will be limited to 30 fps so imo only ideal to play those on PC.
