Nintendo Switch 2 sales stumble over Christmas
-
It's very expensive and it has no games
-
Good. I hope they choke on their new pricing
-
Well, yeah. I already have one. My company gave me a $500 Amazon giftcard for Christmas even though I never use Amazon so I spent it on something I didn't really want that much. Besides that, even my neice amd nephew weren't excited about it and were like "it only has like two games."
-
Nintendo should stick to making hanafuda and riichi mahjong sets. Those are the only Nintendo products I buy now.
I bought a Nintendo hanafuda set last year and i don't know how to play but damn they are pretty.

I’ve been playing since I was tiny, and it’s not much work to learn how to play! I’d recommend a game called koi-koi.

That's also the thing. It came out in June. Prices will not go down. Everyone who wanted one already got one.

You mean to tell me that the kind of people who didn't have to buy one at launch aren't convinced by a library consisting almost entirely of: games they already own on Switch 1, games available for less money on other platforms, DK Bananza, and MK World?

I bought some hanafuda recently, but because I am boycotting Nintendo I went with a nicer set made by another company.

Fuck Nintendo

This right here. The Switch 2 offers nothing compelling the more casual Nintendo fans, and is a huge purchase comparatively.

Get a steamdeck, emulate the switch 1.

And even in the cases when you think it might have games, it turns out they're not on the cartridge.

Is possible already?

They're already on some of the basic components - but no retail games are playable yet. Fortunately the architectures between the S1 and S2 are quite similar

Truly, the PS5 of the new generation.

Wow crazy. My deck works pretty hard emulating switch 1, but keeps up fine. I imagine emulating switch 2 would not perform well.

Also the real code isnt on github anymore since the whole yu zu a while back. Its unfortunate but much safer this time around.

Yeah the steam deck might be a bridge too far, but I'm sure any modest gaming PC could handle a S2 workload quite easily. If I remembered correctly the deck is CPU bottlenecked for S1 emulation, and that probably will be more pronounced for S2.

Tbh a self hosted git or gitlab vs github only really matters for takedowns lol. I wonder how far we could go if the scene just paid a random dude in China or Brazil to just run repositories for warez and reverse engineering efforts that are untouchable by the ninjas.
