I’m heavily disappointed. I’ve always been a HUGE Nintendo fan.

If the system was SDR only I would be disappointed but fine.

But they made it HDR. They made a big deal about it. And it doesn’t work well. It’s impossible to calibrate and ends up just looking washed out.

It’s broken.

And I don’t appreciate the insinuation that Nintendo fans will buy any piece of junk they put out. See: Wii U.

The Wii U had terrible wifi, but I can't really say I hated it. There were some real classics on that console - Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D World (although those were both eventually ported to the Switch). It played Wii games and supported all the original controllers, but output HDMI and had real power management. I still use mine to play Wii games.

I loved mine. It had real problems but great games.

It was just an easy at-hand example.

I also liked the VirtualBoy. But I bought it and a bunch of game from Blockbuster for $50 total when they gave up on it. So my value calibration was very different from those who paid retail.

Agree, with the HDR marketing for the Switch 2 I expected a proper implementation. Sad that they cheaped out on it but at least we got this great article out of it

I am not a Nintendo fan (I do have a Switch 1) but this article is the first time I learned Nintendo added HDR graphics the the Switch 2 and this thread is the first time I learned HDR was actually being marketed. I genuinely doubt most Nintendo customers know about these features. It isn’t like Nintendo takes pride in technically impressive graphics anyway.

It was in the Nintendo direct presentations.

I read the above post, and honestly thought it was satire.
