If Sony and Nintendo are hybrid only Xbox has a real opportunity by releasing as powerful a system spec wise but tv only which will cost significantly less.

@NintendoWife at some point if Nintendo realest their consoles in between Xbox and ps5 and their shipping dates change there is a world where Nintendo releases their system right beside ps5 and Xbox. Expect being one generation behind it will be two generations behind. That will open a whole new world of ancient ports.

@NintendoWife if you release a console two years out of the next consoles being launched and yet behind the current console you will inevitably be getting ports from the previous generation. There is no escaping that.

@Dee123 once the system, which allegedly has been produced for over a year in order to have enough supplies, the dev kits should have been released to every developer that requested. The exact same day. There’s nothing to hide anymore. Unless Nintendo doesn’t want any actual third party competition to their own software.

@Doctor-Moo hey I’m just letting you know that’s how people on here react to any constructive criticism at all.

@Yosher well it’s as if Nintendo themselves don’t have the dev kits. I mean I played princess peach today and that thing desperately needs an upgrade. But what do I know.

@SoIDecidedTo I absyhatr back log comments. The system is delayed. Doesn’t matter… I have a back log. There’s no games. It doesn’t matter I have a back log. There isn’t any development kits. Doesn’t matter I have a back log. Why did you even buy a new system. I think all these back logger commenters should be banned from buying a new system until their back logs are complete. Guess what. We wouldn’t need new systems because we live in a consumer society and most of us bought way more than we could ever play through. Stop deflecting with back logs. These are legitimate issues.

@Olmectron local wireless play?

@Dalamar no negativity on this site. Everything is a 10.

@HugoGED right here. Two button 4 hr game. Hard pass.

@progx yup for me. If it’s like other four hour Kirby games. Disappointed. And I owned the original. Kart is simply a million times better. Give me a new f zero.

This is the big fall game. That’s disappointing

You know how after every Nintendo game which is rated a 9 or a 10 nintendolife asks its audience for their own ratings of the game in a poll…. They should do that for madden so we can see if the community agrees with this score or wishes their money back.

@DashKappei this site reviewed the 30frames per second FC games better than the FIFA 1080p 60fps. Go figure.

@DankPeezy Nintendo does no wrong except when they have their own Kinect moment.

So when I said that I would rather a tv only version I was laughed at because portable is it and graphics are good enough. Now 30fps for a 2d game and it’s “cancel my preorder and buy on ps5”. I thought I was the only graphics whore.

I thought switch was a portable system and no one played it docked. Yet that’s a lot of pro controller sales. So a tv only switch would have made sense. Well for the consumer. Not for Nintendo who would have had to sell the systems for less monies.

So wait now we all love digital foundry. The objectivity here is on a whole other level.

People in here asking for oled screens yet acting like their main tv is 720p lcd so they can’t see the difference. Maybe they’re real gamers with crts. I dunno.

The problem with this and every other Nintendo article about digital foundry on Nintendo life is that Nintendo fans love when Zelda is all of a sudden 4k 60fps. It’s apparently game changing. But then when their new game comes out between 1080-1200p with drops down to 30fps it’s good enough and digital foundry has its priorities wrong. Again my problem is that if this dk game was on either a ps5 or a Xbox series X it wouldn’t have had for sure run at 4k 60fps. With the Wii era Nintendo fans would say our games are innovative and waggle waggle they can’t be the same on a dedicated system. Since the Wii u the only thing Nintendo is offering is portable play and there’s nothing notable to explain why we can’t have these games on a better system. So some of us do have to wait for the switch 3 and god forbid that thing is t backward compatible.

My problem is if they would have just released a console at the same price they asked for the switch 2 it wouldn’t have had the graphics sacrifices a portable has to have. I never play my switch undocked so I am being asked to play the next 8 years with graphics less than ideal. I feel like I’m subsidizing portable players.

I hope no one here is getting excited for a Nintendo direct. You should just be worried about spending the next part of your life mainning donkey Kong.

Went from the best launch games in history to of its just Mario kart.

The writer of this article must have loved the Wii U and N64 days.

@Johnny44 this thing runs at 1080p. I think you should temper your expectations.

@chriswashere313 you pay full price for Mario golf to subsidize zelda development and thefts a good thing

Just remember games are a product… and that’s a good thing!

I can’t stop myself from buying games like this. This was my childhood and the fact that it’s easily playable without an emulator is a quick sale.

@GrailUK that’s on you for having your emotions swayed because someone else points out a flaw. Everything isn’t rainbows.

@Suketoudara Nintendo wouldn’t give them a console and a game to look over so they were just making educated guesses based on the same videos we all got. And they made that clearly known. It’s on Nintendo for hiding their hardware and software to these media outlets.

You know if there was a tv only switch we would be able save things considerably cheaper on a hard drive.

@hammers1man I think they should have went with a 6.2 720p OLED and then released a 1080p XL later.

So many comments in here that people didn’t even notice the screen because they only play docked. Seems to me a tv only model should have been a version.

Love this site. When digital foundry says anything nice Nintendo fans are like these guys are experts. When they’re fair and critical…. These guys are hacks!!! Complete objectivity at its finest.

What I like about stories like this is that this is considered a success over three platforms for a game routinely on deep sales where the publisher has to give the console a 30% cut meanwhile mario kart 8 sells 77 million and I’m supposed to think poor Nintendo has to raise their prices $10 because of inflation.

@TwinFami well maybe that’s the only real option. If you live in the real world please understand the word inflation. Nintendo just used it to sell you a 1440p Mario kart world and soon a 1080p donkey Kong at record prices because of inflation. Yet we defended that so I don’t know why buying a tv is the limit.

I want to see 4k donkey Kong. I guess I’ll be disappointed.

@Polvasti hey I maybe deaf but I couldn’t hear the Margot boobs jokes. Plus I am giving this man the benefit of the doubt. I find it’s only white Christian American males whom are still sexist. What do I know.

Also Asian culture has always been female empowerment. That’s why they have so much cos play, anime and chun Li dressed traditionally. But I’ve only been to Shanghai, Tokyo, and Taiwan so maybe that doesn’t represent everyone.

It’s ok. Although it says 4k on the box. That’s for switch 1 games. How is it Mario kart world is only 1440p and donkey Kong bananza is 1080p.

@Polvasti maybe it wasn’t sexism. Maybe he was supporting the women’s empowerment movement clothing choices versus the puritan hypocrites. I dunno.

I thought people told me this is why you buy a switch over a steam deck. It’s simple and already set up. What convoluted trash.

@DaGoldenBoo they only believed in customer service when they ere faced with a class action lawsuit. Here we are again hoping, pretending, lying to ourselves that Nintendo is any different than any other company.

Well it’s a day of reckoning. For the first time nintendo fans being honest. Thank you universe.

@CJD87 speaking of open world. I know that’s the route nintendo is likely to take to sell us a 70 game. But I’m all honesty a 50 on rail shooter would be a welcomed change. Everything does not need to be an open world.

@AllBLK PlayStation fans also thought Xbox had no games until they started to be the best sellers on their own platform.

I thought Nintendo fans thought these other companies made boring games so there was nothing to play on other systems.

I also thought Nintendo fans thought open worlds were boring. That dlc shouldn’t be paid. That internet play should be actually free.

About a month ago people or media was telling us this was one of the best console games launches ever. Here we are after a week disappointed.

This was never going to top BOTW.

And I wasn’t going to be better than SNES Mario world, Fzero, pilotwings, sim city.

@DTfearTheBEARD thank you
