There’s not going to be a single worthwhile game that will run natively at 4k. And i have my doubts about 1080@120 too. Maybe they can keep their polygons so low they can actually reach it, but then what’s the point?

High refresh screen and 4K support is a surprise to me, that’s very nice when it comes to Nintendo standards.
On the other hand, It’s very weird that they didn’t announce a price at the showcase… It sounds like this might be more expensive than what everybody’s expecting it to be.

I would have bet real money if you had asked me yesterday that it would have been limited to 1080p to reduce cost. I am very curious to know more about how it actually performs in each setting, how much of it is upscaling, etc. I imagine that most 4k games won’t have much in the way of better graphics than the Switch 1, the higher memory bandwidth could help with higher res textures though.

Preorders open on 8th April.

Nothing yet on the US store. Tariffs threw a wrench in their plans, I reckon.

I just saw this getting reported. Oof. That’s not a great price.

The US site lists May 8. Preorders also seem to be invite-only in the beginning?
From the US site:
The German site lists April 8, but requires you two have a Nintendo online subscription for the last two years.
