Yeah I agree, the Switch family in general are mostly meant to play official games like Zelda, DK and Mario whose older incarnations were also designed for other small consoles that ran on battery power, and not-so-demanding third-party games that can be played without connection to power like Minecraft BE. They’re like a modern DS with a bigger screen you can project to a TV, and never pretended to be anything more.
Comment on Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom
4am@lemm.ee 1 year agoNintendo is going to want a console they can keep standardized for a while without hitting hardware limits early. It’s one of the only major flaws of the Switch, and while it’s not entirely their fault, they know the type of direction devs want to move in. IMHO they will have listened in this regard.
I don’t expect it will run “on par with PS5” as some rumors have suggested, though.

The PS5 is the size of a small boat. The only way Nintendo can release a portable console that matches it would be if it came in a wheelbarrow.

Anyone remember the Compaq Portable?
It weighed almost 30 lbs.
