Nintendo Switch 2 Thread

[Nintex]

I'm honestly surprised how well it runs stuff like Cyberpunk 2077 at launch. That opens up all of the Xbox One / Series S / PS4 library. It's also the final nail in the coffin for Xbox for me. The Series S is very poor value now compared to the Switch 2 but because it exists many next-gen games will be ported to Switch 2 that would've skipped it if Microsoft had only released the Series X. And a lot of those games will perform or even look better on Switch 2.



I might double dip on Cyberpunk on Switch 2 because it has that 'wow, I can't believe this runs so well on my Nintendo handheld' effect.
Backwards compatibility is also very good. Games that struggled on Switch like Bayonetta 3 run at 60fps on Switch 2.

I was also surprised by how smooth the system transfer was. I did that first and it pulled all my Switch games, licenses and even what I last played.
So far the console also seems solid, no big hardware issues reported at launch, some crashes, battery indicator bugs but nothing firmware won't fix.

The Steamdeck, decent for sure but with all the quirks and software layers it never stops feeling like a open source beta test project.
My Xbox Series X with the cheap plastic rattling case looks like a joke compared to this very sleek piece of low profile modern hardware.
The Switch 2 Pro Controller is perhaps the best controller ever, it feels so good and the D-Pad is fantastic too.

Nintendo low key nailed it and I'm pretty sure it has exceeded their expectations. Now all we need is the flood gates to open.
