I think most won't notice it while playing anyway. I mean, literally no one complained about the screen's respons before DF measured it in their review. I myself never noticed any problems with it, I play almost half the time handheld with my Switch 2 and I'm even starting to get used to the weaker blacks now, not even missing oled anymore as I'm geting so into how big and sharp the screen is.

@DaftSkunk

You know, you're answering your own question right there, that's the last generation. A bigger Oled with 1080p resolution and 120Hz would obviously be much more expansive than a 720p60hz Oled, plus the Switch 2 is a more expansive device in other ways; bigger battery, higher density memory etc.

@JohnnyMind

It's unfortunate if someone buys a banned 2nd hand console, but it really is the sellers responsibility to describe the product he is selling honestly, it's not up to Nintendo to take responsibility for individuals being dishonest on the used items market...

@hammers1man

lol, even the product pages for the devices does confirm they support HDR 😂

Wow, I can't believe how far behind Xbox are these days. Old-Switch actually seem to sell big third party releases at much higher rate than on Xbox???

@AllBLK

You're right, why blame the buyer. Sure, they do have a responsibility to chack if the used products work, but first and foremost we should blame the scumbags that sells their blocked/banned Switches. It's probably even a real crime to sell it like that without being honest in the desrcription that the system is banned from online services.

@slytherin_real

Bann transgender people because they bann pirate hardware? Thats one far-fetched parable if I ever saw one xD

Anyway, just try-out used consoles before you buy. I would never buy a used car or even a used TV without trying if it works proper...

@hammers1man

The Rog Ally (and X) supports HDR10 with their display, yes. You just don't know it as you think it would be comparable to HDR on a TV, which it's not as the Rog, just like the Switch 2, lacks dimming zones and has a peak brightness that matches the Switch 2. You will however notice the hdr in particular scenes in the games as it, just like the Switch 2, support hdr standard with a wider amount of colors and more details in bright and light scenes.

The quality of the display on Rog Ally and Switch 2 are comparable, about the same. The Rog has slightly more even brightness as it doesn't use edge-lit, but otherwise they're the same.

@user0

It does actually meet the "bare minimum" of HDR10 as it's from 400 nits, wich Switch 2 screen can produce. Switch 2 screen actually are of the same standard as the Rog Ally, which also supports HDR at 470 nits vs. Switch 2 at 440 nits. It just doesnt give such a dramatic peak brightness as an HDR TV can produce. It just cant do that for hours of playtime with a battery.

@johnedwin

Higher sales figures.

Nice to see Cyberpunk doing very well on Switch.

@JokerCK

So he's about right then, as Series S is somewhere between PS4 and PS5.

@MeloMan

Yep, its a lot better. So are the face buttons too.

@AllBLK

Yeah.
But I can't deny it, it's a nice little game. Spent a couple of hours with it in between Mariokart, and I'm getting the feeling I'm gonna stick with it until 100%
Would've been really nice if they at least had included it for NSO expansion -members.

They should just skip that plastic grill, it never lasts, and just let the metallic heat sink sit free there on top.

Nintendo has really manned up with it's D-pads for the new Switch 2. Fixing the Gamecube one (as far as it can be fixed), and the d-pad on the Pro Controller 2 is among the best there is. It's brilliant.

Yeah, Pre-ordered at Nintendo Germany.
But we have a red day i Sveden on Friday, so it seems I'm gonna have to wait to until monday before mine arrives.

A bit weird Nintendo is getting a glass display. I would think plastic LCD:s was the common practice. It does seem to be of a higher quality-range then the OG Switch LCD, it looks completely black when turned off, just like the Switch Oled, while the OG LCD Switch is gray when turned off.

I just want Shenmue 1 & 2. They can keep the third.

I just wished that developers had the choice to disable gamechat in their games, to get a bit more of those reserved specs. All Nintendo games can support gamechat, but I don't need it as some sort of phone-service that I can use to chat any time. I see it's clear value in multiplayer games like Mario Kart, Fortnite, Splatoon etc. But I see no realistic scenario were I would want to chatt while playing a game like Cyberpunk.

I think Nintendo should've tuned down Game Chat a bit and just had it as a pure in-game chat service while playing the same game, not as some general-social-media-gaming-thing were friends chat while playing all sort of different games. That's what phones are for. Native chat on a gaming console should only be for in game-chat in multiplayer sessions.

@N64-ROX

lol, you do know that the audio via the controller headphone jack will go through bt through the controller anyways, if you don't plan to use Pro controller 2 wired all the time.

@BAN

Now you'll see people complain that Nintendo made a proper chat functionality instead.

@sanderev

Haha, yeah. I knew it would be like this. Always so much toxic negativity. Is the feature really totally unnecessary just because one wont use it themselves. This system might sell 100-150M units, Im sure there will planty who will use it.

Star Wars Rogue Squadron II
Eternal Darkness
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil Code Veronica X
Luigi's Mansion
Super Mario Sunshine

@Lizuka

I think it'll be more in line with gyro controls. Mouse options will be embedded for shooter and strategy games, but not that many games will be designed around it. It will however help out PC-games a lot. PC RTS is a pain to play on console.

I'm fine with 79.99 for Mariokart (not paying that as though as I'm buying the bundle).
It looks like so much bigger of a game than the older entries of the series, and it will probably end up being one of those games I play for the entire console generation.

79.99 will probably be a new "normal price" for games on Nintendo, Playstation and XBox. It'll just take some time to get used to it, just as I'm still not used to paying 14.99 for one package of coffee that lasts for a week...

I'm glad now that I lost interest for the game years ago, due to all its problems back in 2020-2023. Now with the hyped Switch 2 version, it really feels like the right moment to dig into this one for my part. Ofc, I'm going for the physical release.

Realism isn't an equal for a good game. It actually partly made Rockstar's RDR2 such a boring game in my opinion. And no, the amount of details didn't save it from being boring.

That said, if there is two games that cant be compared, it must be GTA and Mariokart. In my point of view, Mariokart will be more fun to play, as Rockstar began to lose it's quality of sandbox games years ago.

So the "Xbox-handheld" is just another Rog "PC-console" with a button for gamepass? Not very interesting. At all.

@Dimey Dimey @

Battery probably only lasts for an hour when you play current-gen games, so you wont have to worry about the comfort for long play sessions.

@LoneWolfSones

Nah, can't really blame Nintendo. So many third parties choosed code in a box with Switch too, despite many sized of cartridges. As long there is a cheap out-option, many publishers are gonna choose it. Don't be so bitter, if you wanna play the games on Switch 2, you buy them for Switch 2.

Many of the thord party releases on Switch would need the 64GB cartridge anyways, and they're still going for Key Cards.

Makes me wonder if CD Project will be the only third party releasing on a real cartridge.

This is what happens when you don't include stability in the update.

@westman98

Cyberpunk ships on a 64GB cartridge at a "normal" price of 79.99. I do think that at 249.99 they would have an OK profit margin with a real cartridge. I mean, I don't think CD Project sells Cyberpunk physical on Switch 2 at a loss...

I can't really blame Nintendo for this as it's up to the third parties to choose how they manage their releases. I doubt Nintendo forces them to take the cheap-out option.

Oh No!
No 1-2-Switch, No buy.

Using twice a day to check out the HDMI-cable in 3D.

Hoping for RE4 remake this year on Switch 2

I think more "mainstream gamers" are gonna choose Switch 2 over Steam Deck, now that it's gonna be powerful enough to run all multiplattform-titles. Handheld PC gaming "consoles" have very small sales numbers, with Steam Deck being the "biggest" with only a few million units sold over 4 years. So with Switch 2 this summer, Steam Deck and the other expensive PC gaming consoles are going to be even more niche products.

@EVIL-C

Yep.
So much negativity these days. And when Cyberpunk hits Switch 2 release day, comment sections will flood with negativity that it doesn't hit the same resolution & framerate as a 550 watt, 2000USD desktop PC.

Id love 40fps as a new lower-ground in Switch 2 games. It'll be a lot smoother than 30, while not being so costly on the graphics as going for 60. In Mariokart World, Im gonna try out both Quality & Performance mode, but in the end, I'm probably gonna stick to the higher resolution, 60fps is just fine.

@vanYth

Yeah, but they got way too much travel until you reach the switches, make them feel very sluggish in shopting games. Im sticking with that digital triggers are superior in ~95% of the games.

@chiptoon

Thats not good neither. You need that micro switch-click as a feedback, analogues just can't mimmick that. That's why I dislike "mushy"-face buttons too.

I've never actually really missed the analogue triggers. In most games, I do agree that it's better with "clicky" digital triggers. GTA-games is the only type of games were analogue triggers is preferable.

Playing something like shooting games on Xbox or Playstation, the triggers just tires out my trigger finger...

If we had euro here in Sweden, we would be paying around 615 euros for the Switch 2 without Mariokart. Yes, it's insane. And yes, I ordered mine from Amazon.de

That's the worst part of being 30+ and having full time employment etc. The years goes by so fast that a 5-year period feels like 2 years...

Im kinda confused by how low the Steam Deck sales have been. Seems like everyone talks about the unit, but it sells way slower than the Wii U did. 4M units is bout what the Switch 2 will sell in it's first 5 minutes on the market.

@sd7232

Switch Series One U.
Couldn't be clearer what it's all about.

It's so weird that "game" is actually up on the eShop. Doesn't Nintendo have any employees at all that actually does some checking on the games that goes up there?

Nope, I don't want Shenmue 3 on anything.
But I'd really want Shenmue 1 & 2 HD collection on Switch!

Gamecube+Dreamcast would be my dream.

Looks decent.
I didn't like the AW reboot-camp that much, it underdelivered with ugly graphics and no real online support. I don't care this looks very similar to Advance Wars, as long as it's functionally good and got online mode that works.
