The Nintendo Switch has had a dominant life as a hybrid console-handheld, enjoying success since its launch in 2017. However, late last year heard some rumblings that Nintendo was preparing to move onward to a successor to the Nintendo Switch. According to Video Games Chronicle, Eurogamer, and other insider sources, development kits for a "Switch 2" had already been sent out to third-party devs, and rumors were claiming that the system would launch sometime in 2024.

Now, things have changed. While Nintendo was planning to launch the Switch 2 around late 2024, those same insider sources claim that due to some internal delays, the next-gen Nintendo console is targeting a Q1 2025 launch--similar to the original Switch, which launched in March 2017. VGC's sources state that the Switch 2 still plans on being a hybrid system, offering portable functionality, while Eurogamer corroborates VGC's statements, while additionally adding that the reasoning is so that the Switch 2 features as many launch titles as possible.

Devs nowadays are lazy as fuck. In the 90s we had Iwata tricking Game Boy cartridges to have a lot more than they could actually handle and now we have mega senior developers that can't accomplish 60fps unless it's on a PC that costs more than 10 Nintendo Switch.

Not only that, but Switch ROM hackers make 60fps mods right after games get dumped, so there's clearly a lack of talent in there too.

Developers have this odd idea of a game cannot run at anything between 30 and 60. It is one or the other.

On the strongest consoles of the world xD

Exactly my humor.

In their mindset, we, gamer, can't handle having a single fps variation during our game time, otherwise, we are going to review bomb their game. I don't know about you, but I don't care that much about fps.
If my pc can run it at 30+ fps, then i'm perfectly fine with it. I won't care if it surge to 80fps and drops to 35fps for a few seconds because it's loading shit tons of stuff.
However, if i can't run it at all above 30, then guess what, i will lower the graphics setting. Yea i know what you thinking "wow, nocto is going wild, playing at 1440p on high graphics instead of 4k Ultimate-Ultra-Instinct-Mega-Deluxe-&-Knucles graphics". Well, i though that was the purpose of the "Graphics Setting" tab in the first place
Anyway, I only have a 3060 ti and i will play with it until it can't handle modern AA games (not AAA). I still have the old mindset of "does it run? Yes? Then play it" and not the shitty modern mindset of "does it run on 60+ fps, 4K, highest graphics? Yes? Does it have ANY kind of lag? 3ms of lag? UNACCEPTABLE, I WANT A REFUND!!!"

What're you guise complainin' about? Nintendo targets sub 30fps (or 24fps) to give us that authentic cinematic experience when playing their games

I assumed that would happen
