You're rich. You can afford to be ripped off.

Speaking from experience with Switch OG.
Some games will never work with unofficial joycons.
Also $85 and $95 for no hall effect is just... insane.
Hopefully Switch 2 works with unofficial controllers because there are a ton of great and cheap ones from GameSir and 8bitdo that include hall effect.

Nintendo are becoming like Apple , selling you cheap hardware for expensive price ...
No NVMe , no fast charging (3.5 hours charge speed) , low Nvidia CPU .. low RAM ,

Hey Nintendo , if you really want a Tablet as a console , why not contact Apple and use their M4 CPU ? of even contact AMD and use strix halo platform ? What Nvidia CPU that doe not even support NVME ?

I want buy a portable device which is portable, not a 54Wh battery with some sticks.

Faster speed , Faster Random IOPS speeds ...
as for sticks and battery , I dont nderstand what you mean.

@newtechldtech Look how much power you need to use a micro sd card...

faster transfer speed then any micro sd some 3rd party games will need it more then Nintendo's actual games faster load times as well.

a micro sd card most at most max 312mb/s ( which is slower then a standard ssd)
a nvme can do 3500 to 7000mb/s

and it is portable they needed to make the device bigger to accommodate a better cpu and memory. and more surface area for cooling add to that the 1080p screens take more power to run and high refresh rate.

i was honestly shocked and was expecting them to stay at 720p or 900p. at a higher refresh rate.

Bigger screen = moh powa
Faster graphics and CPU = moh powa
cut nvme slot because don't have moh powa
I think nitendo want to keep the weight low.
The original Switch has 398G
The oled version has 420G
the new switch 2 has 534G
The perfect brick steam deck has 640G
for comparasion my old s23 has 168G

maybe the nitendo make a pro version with big screen, big battery and a nvme slot not so portable.

IPhones and IPADS all use nvme storage ... there are low power versions of NVME.
