That’s right, for hardware that’s now eight years old and never got a price discount. It currently sells for C$400 – but they’re about to jack the price.

There are Android tablets that are much cheaper than the Switch, more powerful, more battery efficient. Also, play games better.

Yet, Nintendo is jacking the price.

        I bet, played through tears of the kingdom on the switch and it was rough.

          Same. Then played it with emulator and it was buttersmooth. There are even upscaling and FPS unlock mods on the emulator.

            Mind if I ask for information on what emulator u use? Been considering getting into a handheld PC one of these days, got a switch little over a year ago for mobile gaming and honestly I love it for what it is but it was a bit dated when new to put it nicely… And price of a switch 2 I might as well spring for a legion go or something if that nature
