Handheld Console?

Nintendo switch 2 spec seem be under power console(it didnt matter with switch 1 console as they sold 145 Millions which somethings mircosoft doesnt understand about gaming as Good game sell CONSOLE!) even thought I am wondering how GTA 6 performance be like on switch 2 as i think going be cut down versions to fit in.
 
I don't expect GTA6 on switch, we never got GTAV (although apparently modders got it running badly lol)

Speaking of GTAV and handhelds, sadly online mode no longer works on the Steamdeck due to not supporting battle eye which is a shame as I used to play it occasionally whilst travelling. (Story mode still works)
 
Ah that's a bummer. I love that story mode works, though...playing it on a Steam Deck has been great.
 
There u go.....brave AI say

The Nintendo Switch 2’s specifications have been subject to various leaks and rumors, with the most recent developments suggesting a significant upgrade in terms of hardware performance. As of January 22, 2025, the rumored specs include a CPU with an eight-core Arm Cortex A78C, an Nvidia T239 Ampere GPU, 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 256GB of onboard storage. The console is also expected to feature a larger screen, improved Joy-Cons, and a new design with a second USB-C port.

  • Processor: The Nintendo Switch 2 is rumored to be powered by an eight-core Arm Cortex A78C CPU, which would provide a substantial boost in processing power compared to the original Switch.
  • GPU: The Nvidia T239 Ampere GPU is expected to be used in the Switch 2, which would enable the console to handle more demanding games and potentially support 4K resolution through Nvidia’s DLSS technology.
  • Memory and Storage: The Switch 2 is rumored to have 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of onboard storage, which would be a significant increase from the original Switch’s 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 32GB of onboard storage.
  • Design and Features: The console is expected to feature a larger screen, improved Joy-Cons with magnetic attachment and additional buttons, and a new design with a second USB-C port and a sturdier kickstand.

Sticking with my steamdeck for now, it still plays the games I want it too plus emulation up to PS2 with decent battery life if you're not pushing it too hard.

Problem with AAA games is you tear through the battery and it's like hairdryer, I ended up uninstallng games like Forza horizons due to A) battery drain and b) noise and c) takes up too much space.

I play games like resident evil (remaster) wreck fest and a bit of Fifa (22 as it's the last one that works on the deck) again due to anticheat.

500gb m.2 for games and 500gb SD for emulation

How's the PS2 emulation @fitzsteve ?

It depends on the game of course but most games I've tried run really well. I've been playing through Gran Turismo 4 again, it's mostly smooth, the real world race tracks for example but there's some slowdown on the city tracks.
 
I also play older games with their No CD patches (just create a steam shortcut) things like Outrun 2006 coast 2 coast. I play fifa through the EA app, again run from a steam shortcut
 
I set up Wii U emulation and have been playing Breath of the Wild on my Steam Deck. It's amazing. I play it this way more than I play it on my Switch :P
 
Currys and Argos have remove MSI Claw Handheld as that seem like isnt good sign for MSI!

It might be Flop sales and who know.
