Switch 2 is the death of gaming - They fell for the increasing performance meme

Date: March 25th, 2025 10:08 AM Author: Razzle-dazzle Step-uncle's House Sound Barrier What happened to Nintendo? Back in the day, they were the kings of wild, out-there ideas—every new console was total curveball. The N64 had that funky controller and 3D graphics that blew our minds, the GameCube was a quirky little box with a handle, the Wii brought motion controls that had grandma swinging a virtual tennis racket, and even the 3DS gave us glasses-free 3D. Each generation felt like a bold, crazy experiment. But now? The Switch 2 reveal has me yawning—it’s just a beefier Switch with better graphics and faster load times. Where’s the innovation? Where’s the “whoa, they actually did that” moment? They’re just pulling a PlayStation and Xbox, slapping some extra horsepower on the same old formula and calling it a day. Nintendo used to be the mad scientist of gaming; now they’re just another suit chasing specs. Lame. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5699480&forum_id=2#48780194) |

more to the OP, don't they have this market totally cornered? they hit a home run, let them milk it for awhile. their history shows you will be rewarded with some kooky shit in the years to come. |

Date: March 25th, 2025 12:22 PM Author: Impertinent Regret what is the Switch 2 going to be equivalent to graphically? I read its rumored to be between a PS4 and a PS4 Pro, which is pretty fucking solid for a handheld. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5699480&forum_id=2#48780699) |

Date: March 25th, 2025 12:30 PM Author: Swashbuckling orange principal's office philosopher-king Idk, the question is almost irrelevant. I only care about Nintendo games on a Switch, and those are always highly stylized and several orders removed from the photorealistic “ideal” of other developers. Processor power, threading, efficiency and memory are all more important for a device like this. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5699480&forum_id=2#48780721) |

Date: March 25th, 2025 3:38 PM Author: Impertinent Regret yes but Nintendo has ALWAYS pushed above their weight graphically relative to the "power" of the system. Think Luigi's Mansion, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, etc.
A fucking HANDHELD with "power" in excess of a PS4 will be something to behold IMO |

Date: March 25th, 2025 9:51 PM Author: poppy fragrant trust fund goal in life I think you misunderstand Nintendo.
Nintendo is about making games FUN, which is why the Switch has been so succesful. It really wasn't that revolutionary - it was more of a retro device that played games in the classic style.
XBox and PS can keep trying to create thousand hour open world games with hyper realistic graphics - they're a chore to play.
Occulus can keep trying to push the envelope on VR games - they're impressive but not fun.
Nintendo realized games peaked in terms of fun between 1985-1999 and are creating the best systems to replicate those experiences. |
