So the only way you have extra storage is if you are docked... How does that help you when you are undocked?
The same strategy Apple is using at this point.
Yeah, actually it is. See you get a better version of the game plus DualSense features on a system that might be more ergonomic and lightweight with a better battery life when playing the same game with much better visual fidelity and fluidity. Latency might also be lower on PS Portal than playing natively on Switch 2, depending on the game of course.
For the price Nintendo is making Switch 2 an easy skip. That isn't good.

My phone also has hardware accelerated raytracing. What games use it? World of Tanks and what else? Basically nothing. What Switch 2 games feature any kind of RT?
Has the ESA also lost the plot? Last I checked Nintendo doesn't make anything in the US, but Switch 2 and its games are expensive everywhere except allegedly in Japan. Assumimg the proce scheme in Japan is real, perhaps Nintendo believes they can make bank on the rest of the world?
Whatever, the point is that Switch 2 and it's games aren't expensive because of the evil orange man and that makes actual economic sense considering the fact that nations with no logi...

What do we know about American currency?
I have three letters fir you, "USD."
This guy isn't an American, he didn't vote for Trump, I don't know which way the user leans nor do I care, but when you are talking about people not being able to understand what they read, it's probably...
Sense made: 0%
Just lowering the price is much smarter. They exited the home console space because they couldn't compete on power and where would their controller be without the Switch's unique form-factor anyway? Almost no games even use the Switch's unique controller features of which very few are exclusive to Nintendo.
Microsoft is doing a great job showing why Game Pass will never be the way by removing support for billions of mobile devices in the blink of an eye. Sorry, Nintendo doing things very wrong doesn't make Microsoft's wrong less of an issue in the slightest.
Do you think it cost more to make Mario Kart World, and Donkey Kong: Bananza than Astro Bot? The problem is that the former Nintendo games cost way more than the latter game on the better system that will play all 3rd party games better. You will only miss Nintendo 1st party games if you-re pining for those to start with. If not there is no reason to jump into Nintendo's ecosystem. There is an incentive to make the leap to PS since Xbox is dead and PC is even more expensive than Nintendo....
That's really cool. I chickened out on my Steam Deck reservation. Steam got their minimum cut because I didn't cancel.
$15 Mail-in rebates better be coming in hot. The extra cash is for the added trouble of filling out a mail-in rebate.
If Nintendo isn't paying me to play this, then it's not lower than expected. If this software costs more than $0.00, then it costs more than expected.
Welcome to the Wii U era of Nintendo!
We tried to warn the Nintendo diehards.
I remember such games on PS Vita, PS4, and PS5 were free. But let's forget about the competition, the 3DS also had free AR games. I guess even Nintendo forgot about that! Oh well.
Maybe I'm out of the loop on a certain class of micro-computers that are less than 0.6" thick that include NVMe drives?
Do you have any examples of portable electronics of that thickness including NVMe bays this that don't have Apple Inc. prices attached to them?
Thickness of at least one version of Western Digital's 2230 NVMe drives
2.8mm (0.11 inches)
Thickness of MicroSDXC card 1mm (0.04 inches)
Switch 2's body thickness 13mm (0.55 inches). When the drive alone takes up ⅓ the thickness of the system and requires some way of keeping cool on top of it, you might be seeing why they went with Express cards which to be fair might have their own thermal solutions, we'll have to wait to see a teardown of the Switch 2...
At least you can run PS4 games from any drive on PS5. Why didn't Nintendo allow this? Your guess is as good as anyone else's.

So why did the head of the ESA bring up Switch 2's price? Hm... well that was exactly my point; it's not relevant. Nintendo choose to make Switch 2 expensive, not Trump. People getting upset about these tariffs before they were implemented was ridiculous and this article only poses the same questions even expounding on how little they know only speculating how this could affect the industry because many games are also made here in the US. These tariffs will have pricing impacts and th...
