    Wasn’t this already on the first Switch? How did you fuck this up? It was already done.

    Honestly, I’m kinda over the Switch 2 at this point. All of the games that have come out for it look empty and soulless, and there hasn’t been anything to make me truly want to spend $500 on another piece of kit. They’ve had long enough to put out some quality, and the promise of “$80 for a game ensures we can continue to deliver quality” is just the corporate bullshit we all knew it was. This is the WiiU all over again.

        Zelda and Mario are first party, so I get that, but Xenoblade kills me. I need a rerelease of Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Xenoblade on PC.

        The xenoblade game for the switch 1 was okay but the way all the women were depicted was fucking creepy and weird

          The worst part is, I consider myself a bit of a gooner; I like alluring, attractive characters. But that was meant to be a story-based game, and yet it designed so many jokes around attractive women dressing in rags, being clueless, easily offended, and seemed to design the story around an intense contact between a shonen hero and a large-breasted woman.

          At least in something like Stellar Blade, they evade the subject because they know there’s nothing constructive to say.

          Both BOTW and TOTK are some of the most well optimized games ever made. It’s truly wild that both those games can be played on what’s basically a suped up smart phone from 2016 and look and play as well as they do.

          Unless you’re talking about everything else in the game, idk

        Meh most work on emulation. The only thing going legal would do is ease of use (maybe) and more $$ for nintendo.

      I quit Nintendo ages ago. As a company, they’re assholes. Then they want to charge $50 for a game that’s 5 years old and 2 generations behind in graphics. Just can’t hold a candle to PC or even the other consoles. The only thing they have left is like 4 game IP’s

        They just dropped a very mediocre Metroid title, and Mario Kart was middling at best, so they are down two franchises this generation already. If they make another clone of BotW then they are gonna be down a third, and they’ll have to make it up with Mario, but Donkey Kong didn’t inspire hope on that front, so I’m not sure what I have to look forward to…

        Oh. Pokemon… Well, I’m not holding out hope there either after Scarlet/Violet.

          I haven’t really enjoyed pokemon for quite some time now. It started off as a fun casual rps style game with a simple and entertaining story to follow. Then they kept adding more complexity to it and it just kinda fell off for me.

              I’m on my second playthrough, this time with my kids. Didn’t think I needed another playthrough but I’m having fun. 😅 At one point I’ll boot up TotK for the first time since buying it on release day. 😎

          Pokémon Z-A has honestly been one of the most fun Pokémon games I’ve played in a loooooooooooooooooooong time

      Nintendo has made it extremely easy to boycott the Switch 2 so far. They’re hell-bent on releasing mid new games and tons of Switch 2 versions of Switch 1 games and acting as if they’re new. I’m a big fan of Nintendo’s games (well, I was, at this point) and the only exclusive Switch 2 one I have any interest in is Donkey Kong Bananza after the console being out for 6 months. That’s abysmal. At this rate there will only be a few Switch 2 games released over its entire lifespan that I’ll even want to bother emulating eventually.

      Feels like the best meta for console purchasing is to only buy every other gen. I imagine the Sw2 is a blast for someone who didn’t have the 1 and now gets to play all those games at an improved quality/framerate

      I only spent 99 DKK (Danish kroner) on a Switch 2 + Mario Kart World because a local company briefly fucked their pricing.

      The system is certainly worth 99 DKK, that much I can say. Though… I find myself mostly still graviting to emulated MK8D.

      I was over the switch 2 when i saw the the bare switch OS only had minor changes. Consoles are PCs without choice, but that is actually fine by me if they provide a fun experience not only in but outside of games as well.
