NextHandheld

I’m an undercover gamer checking every nook and cranny for info on the “next handheld”

I hope I’m wrong on all 3 counts

[NextHandheld @NextHandheld]

So now that we have games, I have 3 irrational fears:

[NextHandheld @NextHandheld]

3 The Switch felt like a toy that played hardcore games. The Switch 2 feels like a hardcore console that plays toy-like games. I fear it’s easier for Nintendo to have cheaper consoles that target adults rather than have more expensive consoles that target kids

Someone asked me to test the Spigen Switch 2 gear. They are so ill fitted I would stay clear. Not sure if they didn’t know about the magnet release or worse they require double sided tape. Anything else I should test?

I always found these annoying because you can’t close your hand around the sides.

This company is very clearly farming fake, positive reviews, but it’s the last one that truly sends me 😂

[NextHandheld @NextHandheld]

@Switch2Stock Yeah those internal fans were meant to handle handheld mode

[NextHandheld @NextHandheld]

@Dexerto $3500? Could barely cover the Switch 2 launch lineup and accessories 😏

@ewt3we12 @dbrand Spigen, Genki, JSAUX?

[NextHandheld @NextHandheld]

I’m not sure what dbrand was thinking… 🫠

@Sinokei_ Hate to break it to you but the dock doesn’t do upscaling and doesn’t independently need the fan. The console goes from like a 1.5-8W draw handheld mode to something’s that’s like 4-5x that docked. The console is what gets hot with 4K60. There are many 4k docks w/out fans.

@breath0air For the record - I called Bananza

@giosTabasco They couldn’t fit their case in the dock so they made an add-on stand to park it outside - completely missing the fan that’s needed to push the 4K60…

@Switch2Stock PAX…?

[NextHandheld @NextHandheld]

@Jinsakuu @Switch2Stock I have only seen an earlier one that’s way less graphical than this

[NextHandheld @NextHandheld]

@SnazzyLabs I’ve been told LCD technology has gotten much better since the Switch and that OLED displays causes headaches (PWM) for a small percentage of users especially in Asia. At least that was the justifications I was told - though it’s probably just to bring down the cost…
