The cringiest cringe that ever cringed.

He has some pretty stiff competition in the "vilest" category. I propose they all fight to the death for the title.

The mere mention of that show brings me back to high school and I hear "What up??"

It is quite a shift from how Nintendo's been doing things since the Wii. They were always the weaker hardware at a lower price guys, so this is quite a change in their philosophy. I saw you said as much in another comment. They'll be competing more directly with Sony and Microsoft than they have since the Gamecube. I'll be interested to see how selling at top dollar does for them in the particularly unstable global market we have now.

How open a platform is is high on the list of how I measure the value of hardware, but not how the general population does. I played my launch Switch way, way more after I jailbroke it. I was originally going to wait until the Switch 2 came out, but Nintendo pissed me off with their Yuzu crap last year. For most people that just wanna play games with less hassle, the Switch 2 compares much more favorably.

The Steam Deck is significantly cheaper when you take 🏴‍☠️ into account. Having cheaper hardware made having to deal with Nintendo's walled garden worth it in the past. Plus the fact that there wasn't anything else like the Switch when it launched.

Most importantly for someone with limited funds like me, you can sideload games onto it.

"Oh, well, that's because we currently have a fascist gov-"

The previous administration said the same thing.

I wouldn't expect a decent emulator for this thing any time soon.

Hopefully they'll be releasing games for both Switch and Switch 2 for a while like what happened with PS4/PS5. I know the flagship games will be 2 only, but other 3rd party stuff.

Definitely getting a Steam Deck instead. I was waiting for confirmation of the ridiculously high price.

But you know that's not gonna be the only $80 game. The next Zelda and 3D Mario are guaranteed to be $80, too, because they know people will pay it. Just like TotK's $70 price point.
