Some items have received price adjustments. A pair of Joycons cost $95. A Pro controller is $85.

I think I read thst you can use sny Switch 1 controller to play but not to power up the machine.

The pro 2 controller is £75 here. When I saw the price I thought that's not bad.

Somehow in my mind I thought the OG pro controller was £90 or something. Only to Google and remember its like £55 here. I think it used to be higher.

I still remember GC controllers at £25.

I think Wii remotes and nunchuk combos were £60.

Problem is the Switch 2 still doesn't have a d pad on the joycons and I want to have one that I can use handheld and on tv.

Looks like I'm waiting on the Mobapads announcement.

Comments are rolling in on their opinion to the Star Wars Outlaws switch 2 sizzle reel footage that dropped today

Some were quite interesting, others funny. These ones are translated from French:

Intresting to learn that there's a ray tracing requirement on PC?

-This game is UNPLAYABLE on SteamDeck (drops to 9 fps despite a resolution of 720p, graphics reduced to a minimum and the massive use of FSR for an image so pixelated that it becomes incomprehensible).

- This game is barely playable on a ROG Ally X (720p, minimum, FSR max, 30 fps max with drops to 20 fps). However, this same ROG Ally X develops 4.3 Tflops...

- This game natively uses ray tracing, without which it would be impossible for certain areas of the game to be properly represented. Moreover, if you force the RT to be disabled by tweekning the game files, you end up with an all-gray game where nothing is displayed correctly.

- It is one of the three most technically beautiful games of last year, according to DF.

In other words, even if the image looks blurry, even if the framerate seems sluggish, it doesn't matter, this game is supposed to be catastrophic to run on hybrid hardware in 2025. So either Ubisoft are geniuses of adaptation (lol), or this game shows, in a much more convincing way, that the Switch 2 is ANYTHING but a portable PS4, which would be very unhappy to produce the technologies present here, even in its Pro version.

And I know that a whole bunch of dressed monkeys will come and explain to me that "lolilol but anything hahaha it's a PS3 level, brother", but it doesn't matter, a little truth doesn't hurt.

Steam Deck it's hot.

Even with ultra-performance FSR (so atrocious image quality, and I'm weighing my words), it goes very badly.

And putting Frame gen on top of it to exceed 40fps, it's just not possible, unplayable with the input lag that it adds....

The Ally X logically does better, even even the, in low, FSR quality, the image quality is still quite disgusting, it has the merit of being at least playable.

The Switch 2 will be halfway between that and the PS5. With a bit of luck maybe not very far from the Series S which already can't even offer constant 1080p in 30 fps

--------

I don't think people realize, it's one of the most demanding titles of this gen to date and it arrives at the beginning of the console's life.

It's promising. Of course, let's wait and see more.

No. I blame that ducking shopping music for getting me to spend more far money than I should have.
