Yes, I did. And I have a Vita too, for the ripping the 3DS can’t play. Thor looks cool and nice, but honestly - its pricing is too high. These old consoles can handle older emulators and their native games easily (and with 3D effect for some on 3Ds), and I can’t imagine playing too many PC games on Thor.
I have been eyeing the Thor, but considering it’s nearly the price of the Switch it’s too expensive to me. For my really portable console needs I’m using my „New” 3DS XL ;)
Are you talking about the handheld ones? How does their footprint and battery size compare to S2?
Price wasn’t that much higher than OLED version.
They will at least in some way. Nintendo added the mode where you can play old games as if they were docked while playing in handheld. The old screen was 720p and the new one is 1080p, so that’s a bump. And you could make the same argument for games from PS4 that didn’t get an upgrade/remaster for PS5.
VR is not the future for mainstream gaming. It is and will continue to be a niche until some breakthroughs happen to make it mainstream (and it will still not be as accessible as traditional gaming). It is not a gimmick, but right now it’s limited .
Nobody is forcing anyone to buy it. But most Switch 1 games play better on 2, for many of these changing from „unplayable” and/or „ugly” to at least smooth and decent looking. It’s still a portable console (which has decent battery life and is not very heavy/big), but considering that have a look how you can play games like CP2077/Hogwarts legacy. It’s a big jump. Bigger than between previous and current gen Xbox/PayStation
Exactly. They’ve only enhanced the graphics 2 smoothness by a lot. That’s literally what other consoles are doing all the time, and many people are buying them for that (sometimes even doing the mid generation „pro” upgrades) and nobody complains. They’ve improved Switch 2 in a lot of small ways that add up. It’s evolution, not a revolution and I’m gladly taking that.
It is better in pretty much every way (the screen may be a wash, but it’s great even though it’s not OLED), which combined makes it a meaningful upgrade:) You have to remember performance wise it’s a totally different beast, which is able to run modern games reasonably well.
Normally I wouldn’t root for a big corporation, but this time it’s different;)
I’m not overly worried about that (loss of whatever is 5$ in my currency), they should be.
This is wrote back at them, and got a similar response again
I’ve asked them a few days ago, and they didn’t want to refund it.
I’ve asked for a refund, this upgrade should be free, and limited to just bumping framerste to 60 FPS
The upgrade is noticeable, but meh. They shouldn’t be charging for it
That’s so nice of them to charge for this. The download is 3MB so the assets are already on the cartdridge
Still wth ancient rumble, just like the previous ones. Not for this price…
If they don’t have to, they won’t. It’s not like their competitors are any better.
They are at least resellable, which would not be true of pure digital. One could also argue that even regular media don’t always contain all the content needed to run the game (require a download to start it), and are not fit for archival purposes. I agree with other points. To me it’s especially stupid that you have to pay for your storage, and microSD express cards are not cheap (and games are getting pretty big, which is not weird).
I guess you can play these on Steam Deck (and similar), but they are far less mobile than Switch.
Yes, Vita was pretty good (and it had a great screen for its time - I have the fat/OLED model). Thor looks really nice but it’s definitely not worth it for me.
