Plausible. It's Nintendo; I'm sure they don't want the general masses to know about Switch 2 until after the holidays. Nintendo is always afraid other companies will steal their ideas too, so a January reveal and then release it 2-3 months later wouldn't surprise me at all.
I would have thought if they reveal it in Jan it would come out at least after summer.Unless they've really delayed it so they could make tons of units. I don't get it, who cares about scalping? Just pre-order your console.
There's quite a few, Samsung sells and 8tb one for £400.
But there are lots of smaller ones around a tb that are cheaper than getting a tb sd card.
They even have Solid state ones.
If the Switch 2 backplate is metal, a light, small magnetic usb c storage device could just clip on and use the USB C on the top.
Most of the Shante games are on 50% off sale on PC (Gog/Steam) currently.
Does Switch support USB-C drives? I thought it was just SD cards.
I couldn't find any videos on whether the performance was patched.
Looks like I'm the Guinea Pig here.
I think just sd cards but I was hoping Switch 2 might use different USB c devices as it has two USB c ports on the tablet.If a normal company had a product to launch that they suspect is going to be extremely sucessful, and possibly sell out quickly a early in the year release would make sense to supress sales so they have a hope of keeping up with demand.
But video games are not normal, and you have that scarcity of supply drives more demand concept that Nintendo has been accused of (rightly or wrongly) since the NES.
If they did launch in March it would still be a wildly succesfuly one just on the back of the Nintendo fandom. I usually wait until there are at least three games I want to buy for a console, but in this case they have already stated backward compatibility is going to happen, so ther eis no reason to wait unless you have just recently purchased an OLED Switch 1.
I can see that handhelds could plausible be the future "major battlefield" for gaming as systems gradually move to a more "hybrid" system like the Switch and Steam Deck, as people care less and less about raw power from traditional consoles.
One of the site's forefathers.
I am seriously not getting Balatro.
It plays like a slot machine, and I get the dopamine, but if you don't know anything about poker it's incomprehensible.
Plus, it's a rogue like, so it doesn;t seem like I am carry forward anything from my prior runs. So it's an arcade experience.
Clearly I must be completly playing this wrong. Or...
I would have thought the game would of taught you to play poker first.
To me I can see convenience trumping all.For me I've gone from desktops to bulky laptops, to slimmer laptops, to tablets to small phone, to foldable phone.
I don't have to break out a laptop to do things online anymore.
After the relative freedom of Switch, playing on the toilet, on a plane, or even the simple pleasure of moving it upstairs to bed; makes the thought of a traditional box attached to one television unappealing.
I mostly play 2D indie games too, so there's no graphical advantage on more powerful systems on most of them.
It's pretty good, about what I expected.
The frame rate hovers around 30fps with some dips here and there.
However it looks decent, has nice image quality, they remade the character models and interiors.
And it has gyro controls, which is the good part.
Well worth the hobo price I paid for it.
Thats a game I bever played. Maybe soon
I played it fairly close to release on PS2 I think. I thought is was alright at the time. Nothing disqualifying. The graphical style was the appeal and kept my interest. Not sure what would bring me back to it unless a sequel was announced and they did something as equally impressive perhaps with a new graphical gimick. And if Duchovney was to return to the role.
