?? : 'What can I do with the Switch2 game price??'

[q1w23er4]

You can enjoy classic games that satisfy the lowest points of a game-like game with almost no restrictions on location
It's the price.

You can buy Terraria for U and 7 more friends (or even more if on sale)

 

[Rabattini]

You can cry as well.

maybe a handheld android?

Im saving my money for one of these things either the retroid pocket 5 or retroid pocket classic or the miyoo a30

 

[Senshi00]

Nintendo is completely out of touch. They will have a rude awakening trying to compete with Playstation and XBOX as if Switch 2 is the next gen console, all the while the steam deck exists.

You can buy a powerful phone and a controller and emulate a ton of games (including switch games)

You can buy 27 kilograms (59.5 pounds) of potatoes, and start a potato party.

Are there enough potatoes to run Doom though? :3

You can run Doom on an e-coli cell, so pretty sure 27 kilograms of Potato can run not only Doom, but also Doom II, and final Doom. Heck, we can even run Hexen and Heretic on the side if there are spare potatoes.

I hope it doesn't become a new standard price.

I hope it doesn't become a new standard price.

Unless it gets enough backlash or flops worse than the Wii U… it’s hard to hope

 

[bjork]

Is that thing in the OP $449? Legitimate question

Miyoo a30 sucks, really. I have one it's among the few THE handheld I regret to have bought.

My favorite is the RG ARC-D with its 4 inch screen. It's dual boot with android/linux but I removed android to install the Rocknix (linux based CFW). I don't like android and the linux stock OS is OK but Rocknix is better.

First I ever bought is the Powkiddy v90, it's great with the triforce CFW https://github.com/TriForceX/MiyooCFW, but it's not powerful and you must shutdown the OS before shutting down the machine with the power button otherwise you get prompted with a "disk check" at reboot, and the bigger your SD card is the longer the disk check will last. Also, it's not based on retroarch, it's working with standalone emulators. You can run some PSX games like Dino Crisis for instance, but forget about tekken 3 and Command & Conquer, it's too demanding for that machine. Also, it runs on BL-5C battery (Nokia phone battery) which can be changed accessed easily but again it's only good at running anything below 6th gen consoles and few 6th gen console games.

It's highly customizable with TriForce CFW

IMO it's among the best handhelds you can have for $30/40, but nowadays you might as well go for the Miyoo Mini Plus (not tested) for roughly the same price tag.

Summon Azrael and party with him

You can buy an AMD Ryzen mini PC for less than a Switch 2.

I haven't tested this one (GKD Pixel 2), but the first GKD Pixel model is great, really. The stock OS sucks, that's the main weak point. With Mini-UI it's fine https://github.com/retrogamecorps/GKD-Pixel-MinUI-Addons I run Tekken 3 on it and it's awesome to play Tekken 3 on such form factor. The screen is excellent, the sound also, excellent, and the build quality is excellent too (aluminium)
