Since games take 5+ years to make now we’re probably in for a wave of metaverse products.

no it’s like fortnite or cod. They’re usually quickplay multiplayer games with a low cost to entry, infinite grinding potential, and microtransaction hell

I’m not saying they’re doing the right thing but this is always such an overreaction. Among all the evil in the world today nintendo’s actions are relatively minor, and widespread piracy gives them a plausible legal basis for doing it

You might get one dual console launch game like twilight princess or BotW but that’s it. If switch 1 could run elden ring or FF7R they’d have had ports years ago

yes

It would have killed xmas hardware sales so no

idk anything about FPS’s but I know that they’re not all dead

• SNES
• Every handheld console except for the DS and Switch was a copypaste + upgrade from the last one. GB Pocket, GB Color, GB Advance, GBA SP, GBA Micro, DS Lite, 3DS, 2DS, New 3DS, 3DS XL

Please break

Xbox 2, to compete with Switch 2

• Getting to the final boss of persona 3 as my first SMT game, feeling actually scared irl, fighting it for over an hour and then getting wiped out when it had zero pixels of hp bar left. The party AI was sabotaging me and I was coming up with new strategies in real time to counteract it, it was great
• The final dungeon of FFIV-2 (yes I agree most of the game is shit). I had to finish it in one night because it was the end of spring break and I was driving back to college the next day. My real world scheduling was good but I didn’t plan for it to be the longest final dungeon in FF history. Luckily this was the best part of the game and I played for 12 hours until sunrise, delirious while taking down the final boss and getting to see the credits roll.

Ten years of early retirement is probably enough time to refuel his interest in creating

2-4 depending on the mood. Could go higher but then games would take too long to finish

Nothing, maintaining a library like that would be too much work. 95% of the time I don’t want to play a game more than once and if my chosen store closes I can ethically pirate it. Or maybe the game will be buyable as a $5 retro game 20 years from now.

I have 100+ digital only games on Switch too. That’s going to shut down at some point but in the future you’ll be able to download NS1.zip in ten minutes and it’ll have the entire library. So why worry about it now? Once the switch console batteries all start degrading PC emulation will be the default anyway.

Just don’t buy anything with zombies or realistic gray/brown graphics? Why is this difficult

Very interesting observation, I think you’re right here. I don’t think they need to be sub systems but it does look like a trend now.

They’ve gone in a circle back to dictatorship so it doesn’t really matter

Chinese internet users are overly sensitive

No it’d get flooded with “2 dollars” or “free”
