It's a massive performance upgrade, which would make current sized models better and tiny phone-sized models viable. Only problem is that models need to be retrained to use it and afaik, no one significant has done it yet.
If all the Xenoblades and most of the big 3rd party switch 1 games can be <16GB, they can make this work. 32GB games (just guessing here) on a 256GB storage wouldn't be bad. Most indies will still be 0-8GB.
Makes sense, but if it's only $10 it should just be free. $10 isn't worth the bad PR and they should want this tour thing in as many hands as possible.
It's not even out yet and they redesigned the entire stick. Can we stop whining about every little detail here, we'll find out how they perform in 2 months
“We’ll look at each game, really look at the development that’s gone into the game, the breadth and depth of the gameplay, if you will, the durability over time and the repeatability of gameplay experiences.
idk what better explanation you could expect. He's very clearly explaining the reasons here and you're all being hysterical about it.
"for all ages" and "for kids" are two different things. They don't make kids games except for some of the yoshi platformers and even those are still playable
Nintendo is basically like Apple at this point, the brand is enough to convince people to spend more than they would for the competition, regardless of quality.
People spend more on Apple/Nintendo because of quality. Windows is ten years gone to enshittification. The ps5/xbox have ads on their home screen and are one bad GTA away from a full industry crash
Am I the only one who doesn't care about this? We'll wait for the 33% nintendo sales and fill the rest of the year with 3rd party 80% sales like always
But $450 does feels like the upper limit cost of something you give a child, and if you're charging me Real Console money for this then I kinda expect to be treated like an adult.
It is a Real Console. Today's big showpiece was fucking Bloodborne 2 and some people still can't get out of their bubble where they think it's a children's toy.

Terra Battle 1, created by the OG final fantasy devs. Best Uematsu soundtrack of that decade and one of the best mobile gachas ever. RIP
