?? : '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.

 

[IROH1]

maybe a handheld android?

 

[ejicolxlombarxdi]

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

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)

GKD Pixel

SCREEN: 2.4" 320x240 IPS
CPU: Ingenic X1830 (single-core 1.5GHz, 32-bit MIPS)

GKD Pixel 2

SCREEN: 2.4" 640x480 IPS
CPU: RockChip RK3326S (quad-core 1.5GHz)

$75-$85 on aliexpress, a special custom-collector model is at $284, yellow paint is expensive obviously

 

[Opapete]

Not even going to lie, you can get in shape, and no, I don't mean the gym.

Just make sure to find a pad that actually connects to PC, because DDR home versions haven't been a thing since the Wii. (DDR Grand Prix doesn't count, that's a subscription service)

I'm not familiar with any of this, is the game kiddy branding some limited thing? Or is it just specifically yellow

No it's the brand itself (GKD=Game kiddy), they seem to have done a limited edition (or somebody else did) or maybe it's completely out of stock and now that's the price for this particular one

The black/ash/grey one is the best color IMO, it's the only model left here

 

[DanCalibur]

You can get a PSU, a motherboard, a good CPU, 16 Gigs of ram, a used GPU and a wireless controller. With that you can convert your potato PC into an emulation beast(I'm talking PS3, Switch, 360, PS4) with the bonus of running all modern pc games at reasonable quality.

 

[vietcuong]

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

Ayaneo Air, I guess ??

Not what I had in mind. I was thinking of those tiny Beelink mini PCs.

RIP Iwata

You know, not to be a contrarian or anything, but I feel like everyone says this type of thing every time Nintendo announces a new console, and then it sticks around because people love Pokemon and it ends up getting a bunch of games.
I remember when the Wii U was surely the end of Nintendo as a hardware manufacturer, and more recently when the Switch was proof they were out of touch.
They survived the N64 and Gamecube back-to-back, I'm sure they will survive a less-successful follow-up to a console that made them literally more money than they knew what to do with.

i think 4 pro is the best option and if you save up more you can buy odin mini which has a flagship chip and can emulate switch games

it depends on publishers, they wanted to increase the prices for years. they was waiting for someone to take the first step, it was gta 6 but nintendo does it sooner than that
