Judging by the latest Nintendo Direct, Switch 2 has an excellent launch lineup of games, but it's also clear that Nintendo is set on monetizing everything. Literally every option, expansion, and add-on is paid.

Pc and android gaming has free online systems. So thats where I will mostly game. I hate monthly subscriptions.

Nintendo Direct left me with mixed feelings. The games look fantastic, but I can't shake the sense that a wealthy corporation is determined to squeeze every last penny out of me.

In that regard, while Steam Deck is also a business, it feels like it takes a more consumer-friendly approach. That’s why I’d rather wait for more details on Steam Deck 2 before making a decision.

Honestly, if I lived in Japan, the choice would be a no-brainer — Nintendo is deeply ingrained in the Japanese market.

I love my steam deck but it's huge and heavy. I often just stream my steam games to my phone with a razor kishi from my big gaming machine.

Looking at the performance of the new Lenovo handheld running steamOS, it's not much better than the steam deck.

So I think we are atleast 2 years off from a new steam deck. Maybe longer.

I think for games like Elden Ring, the new switch is going to feel great.

It seems to me that the game had FPS drops even in Direct, and the graphics are noticeably simplified.

Its cellphone hardware so for sure. Should be noticeably weaker than a latest flagship too.

Still, that's about the same as a steam deck .

Завтра выставлю первый свитч со всеми играми на продажу. 🤗 По факту да, монетизация достала. А ещё повесточка, когда в теннисе в спорте постоянно играешь против жирных прыщавых тёток с фиолетовыми волосами, и эти коровы, в жизни неспособные два шага ступить, побеждают. 😡

Сбылась моя мечта. Инвалид и в жизни, и в игре 🤣

Но надо понимать, что это не японская история. Сам японский рынок он маленький, а основа это Штаты. Оттуда всё это говно и капает.

На английском сейчас "инвалид", то есть "не годный", а ранее "не годный к военной службе" звучит как анахронизм, мне прям уши режет. А уж в текущих условиях ведения войны... 🤗
