If you haven’t already bought a switch 2, just get a Steam Deck if you want another handheld.
Valve also won’t remotely brick your entire device if they think you got an unlicensed cartridge.

I bet an open source emulator in pre-alpha stage would run Skyrim at 120fps on Switch 2 ez.

_______ ships to Switch 2 with _____ issues seems t be pretty common.
Why is everyone bashing Nintendo for this? I mean I get it that Nintendo is not to be liked, but this is clearly Bethesda's fault. They did a fast and cheap port and failed hard with it.
How can't it run a 14 year old game?
replies:
Even Intel Iris Xe can play Skyrim (Special Edition) at ~45 FPS.
"It just works!"
As in it just barely is functional at all.
Vibe coded port… sigh

This song is evergreen
You can install this game as a multiplayer RPG suite with cloth physics, frame generation, and a decade of fan content pushing that medieval engine to do things that shouldn't even be possible.
But somebody out there still wants to buy it in potato.jpeg resolution and run it on a kid toy

The original switch was for me a 300$ indie machine. I have no idea what niche is this console supposed to fill.

severe input lag and a huge 53GB file size despite being capped at 30FPS
I'm not sure how being capped at 30 FPS should change any of those. Probably they went too ambitious with texture resolutions, etc. Which explains 53 GB AND the need to cap it at 30 FPS. And 30 FPS probably has MORE input lag than 60 FPS as most things only get polled every 33.333 ms instead of 16.666 (both repeating of course)
Feels like a straight
I do find it perplexing that other companies can also release a game like this, fix it, and then everyone basically forgets and treats the developers like buddies again (like CDPR did with Witcher and Cyberpunk, or Obsidian with KotOR2, or Hello Games with No Man's Sky).
Bethesdas original release of Skyrim was exactly the same, and then they fixed it. Same.with Fallout 76, Elder Scrolls Online, etc. The difference is that it just seems like people really love to hate on Bethesda more than other studios when they don't really do anything that different.
I mean, The Witcher 3 on Switch had a lot of bugs that "shouldn't have been there" because the game was already in a good state on other platforms. But that isn't how game development works because porting to a different console isn't as simple as clicking one button, especially not for something like the Witcher that runs in a proprietary game engine. Shipping with bugs is bad, but Bethesda isn't any better or worse than other beloved studios. They do seem to be publicly hated more than other studios, though.
