As long as Switch 2 or whatever it may be called is backwards compatible. I hate that my Wii/Wii U collection is stuck on the Wii U.

I can play all my switch games and all my wiiU games on my steam deck.

I thought every Wii U game that was worth playing got a Switch port?

Or is this more of a "I don't want to pay for the same game twice" kind of a thing? Buying the same game over and over again has been the norm for Nintendo for many years now.

Xenoblade X is still stuck on the switch

"Worth playing" according to whom?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Still no Twilight Princess

Pretty much, but yeah it's more for those that never got the chance to play those WiiU games as content-wise the changes were nonexistent or minimal. I also refused to double dip, apart from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe when they announced DLC tracks would be released, so there was like 8 years between purchasing moments.

Switch is the first to re-release a bunch of games from the generation just before, though. This is mostly due to the previous 2 home consoles being backwards compatible, so there was no need (market).

While great and all, I think that this generation has been heavily impacted by COVID and chip shortages, so I think it's only fair for all manufacturers to basically add two years onto the lifespan of their consoles.

I've often been a critic of Nintendo, but the Switch is a fantastic device with a solid library of games behind it. Not only that, but for indie titles it's great. It probably gets more use than my PS4 and PS5 combined. For little kids, being able to take the console anywhere is a huge plus.

…and I still have so much cool games to play on it…

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I still need to play Skyrim on it.

I'm gonna play on my switch 1 until a revised switch 2 slim comes out. No need to rush.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Switch 2 OLED most likely. Rumors are, switch 2 will arrive with an LCD panel

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, you've got to be kidding me.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I wish! Lets hope the rumors aren’t true

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I graduated college 3 months before the Switch came out. It really doesn't seem like that long ago...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming.....
