How it feels seeing Switch 2 discourse in the comments section of a meme mocking all sides of Switch 2 discourse:

Every switch owner I know has a terrible opinion of the switch 2s price and the new 90$ price tag they started for games.

Meanwhile more and more people around me are buying a steam deck, I have converted 4 people last year alone. Even my nephew has one and is happy with it.

I love my steam deck. It's the reason why I finally ditched Windows for Linux on my gaming PC.

This past week I got into emulation on it and have been shocked at how well it has been performing.

My friend was ok with $90 price tag because he doesn't buy many games, as for me hard pass to switch 2 and its games.

I loved my Switch. I'm not even considering buying a Switch 2. I'll just stick to pc gaming.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

That's such a great way to phrase that.

The switch 2 has a lot more competition than the switch had, and hasn't made up much ground.

That's me but I have guinea pigs

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I've no idea what the discourse is like today but from what I recall:

  • Nintendo: if you really like the Marios, Zeldas, sidescrollers and platformers.
  • Sony: if you like highly cinematic games, action adventure games with good graphics and JRPGs.
  • Microsoft (consoles after Halo 3): if you need the yearly releases of WWE and sports games and you want to support American businesses. Also, at some point, there was Lost Odyssey.

Have things changed?

consoles after Halo 3

That’s very new then

Ahh, the push i needed to NOT fall into microsoft.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Millions of Steam Decks and their ilk have been sold, and run games significantly better on SteamOS than their Windows counterparts, to the point that Microsoft is reportedly cancelling their own gaming handheld plans. Not a massive challenger to the Switch 2 for most ordinary people, but things are definitely changing.

I would say JRPG is on par or better on Switch, than Playstation nowadays.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

No shot. You can't even play Clair Obsur on it.

I'm also struggling to think of any JRPGs that have been released on Switch but not PS4/5 (aside from first party like Mario RPG). While I can probably name a dozen that the Switch hardware can't even handle.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well you have Final Fantasy up to 12, Persona, Dragon Quest, Octopath, Bravely Default II, Suikoden remaster, which are some multi platform games.

Xenoblade, Fire Emblem are two pretty heavy and exclusive series. Then as you mentioned Mario RPG (+paper mario).

I agree there are some recent JRPGs that are probably too demanding though. Clair Obscur I am hoping for a Switch 2 version, but we will see.

i'm not up to date on general console discourse. but i know for a fact Nintendo, though never famous for being cheap, has been going mental lately. $80 for Mario Kart is mind boggling

Unless something new has happened, it's because the switch 2 is expensive and the games are overpriced

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'd debate the overpriced bit. Expensive yes. People will happily pay it though since Nintendo consistently puts out some of the best in gaming.

Something about Nintendo putting bricking your console into the license agreement if you screw with it at all.

Someone did something and, predictably, someone else bitched about it because reasons. Or something. Probably?
