He has a 3080. Why would he play Doom and The Witcher 3 on the switch?

This is way off topic for this thread but I’m currently playing (and fully submersed in) The Witcher 3 on my PC. Where the f*ck has this game been all my life? Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to discover this gem.

Next up: BotW on the Switch
 
Good 'ol Smash. There aren't many games that have a skill curve like that game. With 4 players, random levels, and items enabled it's pure chaotic fun. It also borders on total luck, too. Yet if you tinker with the parameters a bit, it requires as much skill and finesse as any game ever has. Plus, it's absolutely gigantic.

BotW is also great, you'll enjoy it. But yes, witcher is amazing and i can't wait for the ps5 release to replay it. I haven't done any of the DLC's yet.

Depending on their age, your kids might enjoy BotW as well
 
Bumping the correct thread with new information. Nintendo confirmed that they will be announcing the successor to the Switch this fiscal year during their last financial earnings call. Nintendo's fiscal year runs from April 1 through March 31. It will not be announced at the big Nintendo Direct stream next month. A dedicated event for its announcement is expected.

I appreciate Nintendo setting expectations for next month's Nintendo Direct - however, I'm hoping they'll at least confirm b/c for the upcoming Switch games. IE: "Available November 2024 for Nintendo Switch and Future Nintendo Console").
 
I have played my Switch less than 20 hours in the past 5 years probably. I hope the new one is actually good.
 
Kicking myself for not just having bought a switch a year or two ago about now... Switch 2 could easily be a year away still. I'll really kick myself if it's not backwards compatible :ROFLMAO:.

It's gotta be 60fps minimum docked. Like it has to have this. It's painful to play now.

Meh, 60 is nice but I'm fine with 30. Still playing TotK right now and have zero issues with its performance even with it occasionally stuttering when I engage the Ultrahand mode and stuff. It's far from unplayable IMO like I see many complain about.

Playing through Metroid Prime Remastered now too and it's at 60 at least and runs great. I'm looking forward to the next Switch, but for what it is I think the Switch is still fine and I'm amazed at the performance they've been able to squeeze out of this decade old SoC now. It's still more than capable of playing a lot of big indie games now at 60 too like Dave the Diver and Animal Well, which is where the Switch still shines as a portable console.

after 4 years of ps5, 30fps is a major annoyance to me. Like probably a deal breaker.

I beat ToTK and while I enjoyed it, the framerate was a major constant bad-taste for me. Lovely game, but I can't wait to see it in UHD running at 60FPS.

I think you’ll see more backward compatibility this time around.

I'm just sitting on Tears of the Kingdom because I'm waiting for Switch 2 to release so I can hopefully play the game at 60 FPS. I will try to buy a Switch 2 on day one just to restart TotK because I "can't even" the frame rate.
 
I'll be full-on shocked if they call this thing the "Switch 2." That's just not Nintendo's MO.

Remember people calling the gen 8 Xbox the "Xbox 720?" Instead of just attaching numbers to names, just call it the successor. The only company to ever put ordered numbers in the name of their consoles for each successive release is Sony.
 
Always buy these things and never use them. We need some new amazing battery tech that allows like a day of full res gaming without sacrificing performance.

This would be best and make most sense, but somehow I think they'll call it something stupid. Like Switch-ii or Switch+.
 
I would not like to be in charge of finding a name.

Play station and Iphone/ios marketing people must be glad from time to time to not have that problem.
