I need a big heaping of Switch 2 Crow because in my mind it was going to be much better. I got a ton of things wrong and feel free to admit your wrongs and eat your crow.

1. Secret Sauce: I actually thought GTA 6 was going to be revealed to be available on the Switch 2: I was dead wrong about that. After seeing how Jaggy older games look and even older games running at 30FPS, there is no fucking way. Hell developers have a hard time fitting some games on the Xbox Series S and we all know the Series S wipes the floor with the Switch 2 in performance. I thought Nintendo had some secret sauce to pull much more performance out of a smaller device and find ways to impress.

2. Price: I thought Nintendo was going to make this thing competitive at $399 and just bring the games up to the standard $70. I didn't see $80+, on top of that Nintendo being greedy bastards by doing things like charging for the Switch 2 demo, raising game prices higher than ever, doing crazy shit like charging $90 for Joycons. I didn't see this much corporate greed coming out of Nintendo

3. Evolutionary Software: I thought during the Switch 2 we were going to see a piece of software that was going to blow the industry away and show the dramatic Improvment of the Switch: Mario Kart is Nice but doesn't fit that bill IMO. I was wrong in Thinking the reason Nintendo was taking so long to reveal the Switch 2 is they were working on tons of Software. Hell their first party lineup is pretty bare bones to start.

Member tag needs a bit of a change.

Your biggest mistake is giving Nintendo the benefit of the doubt after 20 years of being cheap and backward. Yay .. finally they have chat!!! Requires subscription? What?

Last worthy console of them was Gamecube in 2001 and they even butchered it with the weird dvd format.

Just tell me this as a nintendo fan, after years and years of nintendo fans screaming to high havens that graphics dont matter , why in the world did you'll think they would give you good spec's for price ? ... its so contradictory this line of thought... Im genuinely asking.. no trying to push your buttons

What, you all need to eat crow for shitting on the hardware. It was better than expected

Well because it has been almost 10 years since the Switch. I thought in that amount of time there would be a much bigger leap in technology. It's not a horrible device and has decent power but nothing Mind blowing. It's underwhelming!

 

[Raven117]

You may be the dumbest fucker on the planet to think GTA6 would be on a Switch 2.

 

[ReBurn]

I don't really care for veal.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Personally, I'd eat the veal first.

Well its been 10 years.. but the switch hardware is like 20 years outdated.. now is only 10 with the switch 2 .... i guess is a nice upgrade for the "graphics dont matter" fans ... you have to compare the switch 2 with switch 1 ... you cant compare to current gen systems... even if the price is the same... is the "nintendo exclusive" games tax.

 

[Beechos]

Anyone expected differently was a fool. It was just impossible to fit the performance fanboys were dreaming of in a ergonomic form factor, without shit battery life/thermals at a decent price.

 

[AJUMP23]

I don’t eat crow I serve it.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

That's nice. Let it out of your system. I think gamers were sucker-punched by how bad... that thing was. Some still haven't even realized it

I'm still baffled by how outdated the messaging or "statement" for the SW2 is. At certain points, it felt rushed , poorly thought out, and even regressive. Nintedo came out of the loop or out of touch. very weird. kind of a representation of this entire generation.

 

[GigaBowser]

everything about it is armarzing cepts for the games prices

 

[nial]

You don't get to say that.

 

[Robb]

Enjoy your crow.
