    I dont know what anyone expects playing those kind of games on hardware that barely supports pokemon.

    two day old article only being posted now tells me that it doesn’t even register as an issue.

    If a game as barren and graphically-awful as Pokémon S&V was on Switch, I’d imagine games like CP2077 must have awful performance

  4. Fairly certain this would be a minority of defective units, just like every device that’s mass produced.  I play Cyberpunk quite a bit both docked and undocked and mine runs fine.

  5. Cyberpunk crashing is not exclusive to the Switch 2 lol

    Keep trying guys. I got faith you will find a real issue to cry about

    Why do people play shit like this on a console they absolutely should know won’t run it the way it should be ran? If they could afford a switch 2 they definitely could afford a PS5 or xsx

  9. Another nintendo misinformation article on reddit how surprising, these mods need to be looked into it’s actually fucking weird at this point. Microsoft lays off thousands and 2 nintendo posts had higher upvotes and one of them was simply false

    And I laugh at the beta testers buying the $400+ system

    Not surprised.  The main chip may be a great Nvidia design, but its built by Samsung and their crappy 8nm fabrication process, hence the crap battery life.

    One of the reasons Im gonna wait a few years for a revision.  If Nvidia can get TSMC to make the revision, we are really gonna see the Switch 2 take off!

  12. That explains how they keep the system running so quietly. Insufficient cooling.

  13. I don’t know, mine was running really cool with literally no fan noise. On the other hand every other handheld I just got too hot or had audible fan to keep it cool. Switch 2 is really great in that front considering how thin it is.

    Holy shit, these comments really prove people just have a hate-boner for the Switch 2. Trying to use Pokemon as an example of the hardware being underpowered when we all know Gamefreak simply aren’t capable of actually putting effort into their games anymore, especially when they’ll sell a fuckzillion copies anyway, is incredibly stupid.

    These are japanese players suffering through the worst heatwave on record.

  16. DuckCleaning

    Isn’t it funny how overheating causes freezing?

    This just in, Nintendo Switch 2 is meant to play Nintendo published video games.

    Do we really need a whole-ass article every time someone’s Switch 2 game crashes, this is ridiculous. The port of Cyberpunk 2077 has been out for almost a month alongside the console if it was a widespread issue we’d have known before now.
