To be honest, this gamer is totally gob smacked on the attitude that people have when it comes to new console releases.
Sure it was time for a change. But is it worth the hassle and aggravation?
I’m not the one to jump on the NCHW (New Console Hype Wagon), just for the sake of popularity. I pay attention to the ebb and flow of popularity.
I learned this lesson all to well when the SEGA Saturn was released in 1994. Like everyone else in the console video game space at the time, I jumped on the hype and pre-relase popularity.
But in the end, after it was all said and done, it was a total flop. The lesson that I learned is plain and simple.
Slow down and relax. Let others make the mistake. Let them make the mistake you’ve made.
But this time around, the hype was justified. The Switch 2 is one of those consoles that lives up to the hype. Where the games go from here is up to NINTENDO and the publishers. But take it easy, Let the hype train enter the station and then buy the system. I’m telling you, it’s worth the wait.
I’m sure the console is fine. But everyone buying one is a huge problem. It’s her another underpowered handheld / tv console. The fans are blinded by specs that will only work on a few games. They honestly believe every game will run 4k at 120fps… I think it’s wild to sell a console with an LCD and muddy HDR over it. But yet again the super fans eat it up like it’s the greatest thing to hit gaming.
And the biggest baffle to me… for over a decade people have been bitching and crying over $70 games… Those same people are now saying “eh, $80 ain’t bad for what you get” What!? …
Not to mention that A LOT of games are PAY TO UNLOCK FPS, and not one Nintendo “switch 2” game comes with it’s DLC except for cyberpunk. (Which does run 120fps at 4k btw)
Idk. The console to me seems like a huge waste of money and time right now. There is one game for it and it’s Mario kart and it’s $80.
If you don’t have a switch. Maybe get one… If you do have a switch. Buy a steamdeck
The Console Arena is totally one sided to a select few companies. If other companies could enter and put a dent into Nintendo and the like. We’d be in a much better situation.
