Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 A $400 price tag -- the equivalent of the all-digital PS5 -- is quite...something. I'll give 'em that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I've only played Switch in handheld but I would never buy an indie on it because they are so expensive compared to anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShreddieMercury Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I love my Switch, but I'm not sure I'd be all that interested in an upgraded model if it's just a bump to 4K. Nintendo's first party games all have phenomenal art styles that look fantastic even at lower resolutions. If they will still be releasing their games on the original model for the time being, I'll just stick with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not gonna take it to bed with me or something. I swore that off until I got addicted to Slay the Spire. And so I bought Hades there, knowing that it’d be the same deal. 8 hours ago, Keyser_Soze said: I've only played Switch in handheld but I would never buy an indie on it because they are so expensive compared to anywhere else. For the right type of game and a strong recommendation, I’ll bite. Like once a year, if that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I’ll get one, if it’s even possible. But what I really want are some new game releases. I’ve loved most of what Nintendo has offered, but I’d like to see another big release soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m ready for better framerates and not having to worry about smear-tier resolution dips. I also don’t trust BotW2 to run well on the og.

For some reason it never crossed my mind that it WOULDNT be $400! No matter what’s inside it, they would probably slap on $100 just to make it seem that whatever it is, is fancy. I’ll get one whatever since better switch is better switch but it would be sweet if for $400 that means it’s actually a nice piece of kit.

Be like @best3444 I think it's because I absolutely HATE handheld gaming that I haven't played my switch. I think my last game was Zelda Link's Awakening. Before that it was Astro Chain. Then I played Mario Odyssey and BOTW. All while playing docked. I understand it's appeal and love their first party games. Overall, it's just not my thing. Especially Animal Crossing. I'll buy a Switch Pro simply for BOTW 2. I must have played more games on the Switch then I just listed. My memory blows at this point.

GameDadGrant Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I think it would be so weird to play Switch on a TV. I'm not against it, I just think it would feel weird. It's best as a handheld, IMO. Kinda sad Playstation gave up on handheld gaming. I'd probably play more PS5 if it had a portable option. I can't even remember the last time I turned on my PS5, now that I think about it. I just can't bring myself to actually sit down on my couch and play a game while practically tethered to my TV. Back on topic; if the rumors pan out and the Switch Pro is revealed in the next few days, I'll be curious to see if they reveal a price. I'm cool with getting a mid-generation upgrade, but the price has to be right. And I'd want some new features too. Even something dumb like Home Menu themes would get me on board.

chakoo Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 In terms of the placeholder price. I'm not sold nintendo would be that crazy to go for $400 (sure they'll sell but will hit a limit). I do think a $50 price hike will happen to $350 but if they do $400, they need to sell a dockless version of the pro that is closer to $300.

It's best as a handheld, IMO. I can’t imagine not playing some games on the TV, or vice versa. To reference the two games I brought up earlier, Xenoblade 2’s sharpening filter looks horrid with handheld mode’s resolution base, but is semi-tolerable on a TV. Age of Calamity is poorly optimized on the TV, but the handheld cutbacks make the framerate almost decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of sad because they could reasonably shrink a PS4 into a portable form and it would be on the same power level of a switch pro. Then it would instantly have a massive library and intice jpn devs who don't want to give up on ps4 development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a wildly compelling handheld and it's crazy to me that Sony just sort of gave up on it and the entire Japanese market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handheld is just for convenience and portability for playing anywhere while the game still holding a reasonable resolution and framerate. It's not the ultimate way to play the console. But I know millions love handheld gaming and that is why Switch continues to dominate in sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I would always rather play on a TV. The only thing is that most HH games look like ass on the big screen. I had the GBA adapter for GC and the PS Vita TV thing so I could play on the TV while sitting back and relaxin' with a controller. I always feel super bunched up when I play on a HH.

Got my doctorate in classical piano. Slouching forward like that is an impediment that causes aches, tension and injury over time. If you’re leaning forward, better to do it with a straight back and rotate at the hips. Otherwise, it’s probably better for you to lean back.
