Lots of praise for how good Cyberpunk 2077 looks on the Switch 2, better than Steam Deck and PS4 from a build that's only 7 weeks old and apparently doesn't even have DLSS implemented yet.

Performance mode (40 fps) undocked:

Becoming more and more obvious this ain't the freaking Wii-DS-Wii U-3DS era Nintendo anymore like some people were so desperate to cling to. This is actually a fairly decent piece of kit. 

Bragging about it running games better than a console that launched in 2013 is not exactly breaking free from the Wii-U era. Actually, it's right on par.

It's significantly better than a PS4 which was a home console that plugs into like 100 watts of electricity, it's looking better than a Steam Deck. 

It looks very much worth it's $450 price point considering it has a bigger, higher resolution screen than the $399.99 Steam Deck and more storage than the $399.99 Deck, on top of magnetic controllers that can detach and function like a mouse and a TV dock that has active cooling. 

This ain't the fucking Wii U era anymore, Nintendo is making solid hardware again. Things like Street Fighter VI look better than a XBox Series S, even the "fixed" version. 

This thing is going to be able to run a decent version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (the PS5 exclusive one) from the looks of things. To be able to play that scale of a game on a Nintendo portable is going to be outstanding.
