How come some nintendo fans got so defensive around people criticizing switch hardware but now they're fine with it now that Switch 2 is powerful? I saw it happen once online so I got the perception that they didn't like hearing about the Switch's relatively weak performance compared to PS5 and other consoles.

I might get a switch 2 just to have it. I might barely with it. Just to have it

I think some prolific Nintendo fans buy stocks in Nintendo. Now that it's not so damning compared to the rest of the industry they're easing up on defending it, like it's roughly on par and seems realistic it'll keep improving.

the switch was only ever "underpowered" for gaymers wanting poorly optimized aaa slop like elden mid. disco elysium, celeste and Life Is Strange: Double Exposure ran just fine on it

>>41115
Well thing is some of those poorly optimized AAA's were Nintendo titles. Like the people that made the thing overestimated it's capabilities.

brand loyalty mental gymnastics, same reason playstation uyghas used to mock xbox live for being paid and then defended psn when it got paywalled

>>41115
Nah, man. The switch was tremendously weak even compared with low to mid-end smartphones that had been released around the same time. It used a greatly downclocked SoC (the tegra x1) which was already 3 years old when the switch released. It's a miracle that nintendo managed to make such nice looking games run at all on the switch.

>How come some nintendo fans got so defensive around people criticizing switch hardware
Cause they're both cultists and redditors.

tbh having weaker specs as a tradeoff for being a handheld hybrid isn't that crazy, but the switch was underpowered even for that

>not backwards compatible
Why? I held off on buying a Switch 1 and everything…

So why buy a switch 2? Bigger screen, a chat button, and the opportunity to buy the games I already own again? zzzzzz

That's 'cause they'll buy Nintendo games no matter what. They value Nintendo games so much that they are willing to put up with actual anti-consumer practices. The only reason why Western AAA is so hated is because their brand of anti-consumer practices makes the games themselves worse, Nintendo's anti-consumer practices are outside of their actual games (pricing, DRM, digital-only distribution, copyright abuse, deliberately underpowered hardware) so they look more respectable. Western AAA fucks up at every stage: budget, development, distribution, marketting, treatment of workers, microtransactions, DRM, everything.

nintards are the most brandcucked people ever. its harrowing

>>41139
It's selectively not backwards compatible so they can force you to buy the "upgrade" version if you want to play the game on switch 2. Other switch 1 games are playable.

Hardware power is for realism. Nintendo games almost always have a very stylized look, so…

>>41140
I second that zzzzzz. Back when the Switch 1 came out, I thought the Switch 2 would have a touchscreen with a changing surface, allowing you to feel menu grids with your fingers.

>>41256
But it's based Nippon so it's kosher.

>>41257
nintencucks will defend this

>>41280
>touchscreen with a changing surface, allowing you to feel menu grids with your fingers.

That'd be pretty neat. I'm not even really opposed to just the switch but more powerful but I don't see any reason to get it on launch, especially when probably two or three years from now there's gonna be a Switch 2 DX or some shit that improves on the launch version.

The cope over it not having an oled screen is pretty funny

>>41284
They will release an OLED version 6 months to a year later, bet on it.


>>41139
I assumed it was, the fuck
>>41282
indeed they will
>>41281
Nintards aren't like that in my experience. They're weirdly xenophobic towards non nintendo first party japanese games

>>41112
Nintendo's manchildren audience will put up with any anti-consumer practices as long as they keep producing the same Mario toddlerslop that got them fixated back with the n64/gamecube

I'm glad video games are getting more expensive.

>>41438
Maybe if you're a nintoddler, PS5 games regularly go for 20 euros or less

i ended up selling my switch 1 because the first party games were so fucking boring. i even downloaded yuzu and a totk iso to emulate them and never got aroud to playing it, i couldn't be assed to play an open world zelda for more than 30 minutes. now nintendo wants me to pay premium for their streamlined stylized stuff…

Ngl I'm gonna buy it launch day

>>41498
