Their audacity to pretend that the switch 2 is a different console than the original switch is fascinating. They cut corners on hardware when they released the original and now Nintendo is charging you again to buy slightly better hardware that will still underperform.
I get that non nativ ports can have performance problems, but even Nintendo originals run under 30fps with mediocre graphics. You get better performance if you run the switch games on a steam deck via an emulator.
Personally not in the market so I can’t verify that, but damn - just how awful you and your fanbase have to be to release a product that performs worse than your direct competitors on your own originals ground. Steamdeck is already an underperformer in terms of hardware, and how much longer has it been produced than the Switch 2? 3 years?!

I just bought a Switch 2 and am playing Pokemon Champions lol. Consoles are not horrible
Pokemon Champions, the game that was supposed to be the definitive PVP pokemon game but only launched with 186 out of 1028 pokemon? That game?
Did you even read the entire comment or are you just here to provide a random fact about yourself and contribute nothing?
They bought a Nintendo product.
Do you really have to ask?
Nintendo is the worst offender here.
