The only thing “convoluted” about this whole announcement was pricing.
The price of the console
The price of the games
The price of their online services and upgrades…
All of that is gut-wrenching as Nintendo claws at its dedicated fans wallets.
Otherwise the features and games look amazing, i understand why people are willing to pay those prices.
Fingers crossed we luck out with easy jailbreaks and emulators like we did for the Switch 1.
Maybe I’m just getting old, but I was very bored and underwhelmed during the entire presentation even before the terrible pricing reveal. I like the mouse joycons and the Donkey Kong game. That’s about it.

Nintendo won’t make this mistake again. But I’m like you, also hoping their security experts are the same dipshits as before so we can resume pirating the entire overpriced Nintendo library.
Pure speculation here, but I’m pretty sure the reason Nintendo significantly ramped up their legal hiring in the past few years is because they figured it was cheaper to chill the development of custom firmware and emulation than it was to tighten up their hardware.
I’m sure they still made an effort, but I’d be very surprised if the security isn’t broken fairly quickly.
They’ve had dumb vulnerabilities in every single console. Given this one is a refresh, it probably won’t have some huge unpatchable vuln, but there’s always something.
youd be suprised. all of Sonys consoles are hackable, despite efforts to stopping it. willing to guess that another SD express exploit will be found, as one was already found late last year, and the switch 2 is one of the devices that uses it.
Nintendo continuously makes the easiest to hack and emulate consoles and handhelds. They been fighting emulation for 30 years and still churn out systems that get cracked immediately.
They made a change that the cartridges no longer hold the game data but will require a download of the game and the cartridge is just a key for the digital game.
That will stop game dumping from the cartridge. But with a jailbroken console, we can still get the game that way.
Yes. In the direct they specifically said that physical game cartridges will be the same shape and size as switch 1 cartridges, but will be red and are much faster. Then in their customer support documentation on their website it says that game key cards are different from regular game cards and will be clearly labeled as “game-key card” on the packaging. However, this doesn’t mean that they will always produce working physical games. This game-key card thing may just be a way to slowly transition into an all digital market without causing a sudden uproar

The first model run of Switches had an SOC hardware flaw that was Nvidia’s fault.

I think one will probably be found, but it won’t be hardware level like the Switch 1, so it will get patched.
you mean nintendo instead of sony right?
no, using sony as an example. all sony consoles are hackable despite effort to stop it. nintendo is the same situation

17th time’s the charm
Nintendo makes this mistake like every single time, what do you mean
I’m afraid of the possibility the Switch 2 will be their Xbox 360 -> Xbox One moment in terms of security…
“dedicated fan”. play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
They made a change that the cartridges no longer hold the game data but will require a download of the game and the cartridge is just a key for the digital game.

That’s not true. The physical games do contain the game. Game-key cards do not. There is a difference
Wait so there will be two different types of cartridges? Some that do hold game data and others that don’t and are just the digital key?
I was under the impression this would be all cartridges for the Switch 2.
