It's almost time for the annual playthrough of DKC Tropical Freeze. Not sure I'll be able to tear myself away from Monster Hunter, but since I'll probably be diverting to Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core and DQ Treasures in a couple weeks, could be a perfect opportunity to do another run.
I fired up New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe not too long ago, and I kept dying on this level in World 4. Which astounded me because I beat the game back on Wii U, and always thought it was relatively easy. Idk if my platforming skills are slacking or if the game is just harder than I remember...

The recent design change of Donkey Kong for the Super Mario Bros movie makes me wonder if that design is actually from the upcoming DK game.

I decided to double dip on more games I've had on Xbox for years, Burnout Paradise and the Bioshock Trilogy. As time goes, I'm feeling increasingly more towards the view about only buying games if they're available on the Switch (and native of course, absolutely not regarding cloud).
@JaxonH is a possibilty given that since last year theres was rumors Nintendo EPD 8(the 3D Mario team was working on a Donkey Kong game, with conflicting reports on if this game is 2D or 3D), given that in 2024 the Super Nintendo World will get a area dedicated to Donkey Kong and is rumored, Illumination is also working on a movie for Donkey Kong with Seth Rogen returning to reprise the character, all this facts seen to align Nintendo might be preparing a new game for the Donkey Kong franchise be it 2D or 3D, @Kaisu you right Miyamoto mentioned in a interview he focus in little details for the Pikmin franchise, they could easily do a 60fps Pikimin game, but Pikmin is to immerse yourself in this world, @Grumblevolcano nice now Atlus have more excuse to forget the others consoles when Persona 6 is anounced.

That's what it is. I was double dipping for years, but I find I just don't play games if they're not on Switch, so I pretty much quit buying games on PS5/XSX/PC knowing I just won't play them. I just pretend games don't exist until a Switch version is announced. Too many quality Switch games available now to care about playing games elsewhere. I can wait, and would rather wait, until I can play it hybrid on the OLED. And if it's too demanding, I probably just won't play it at all.

Agreed. Iām getting out of the double dipping game as well. Like some stuff like TES games where I get on PC for mods means I will buy a switch version but now that I have my TVs set up the only way I am getting the non switch version as my main is if it is exclusive to one of the twins. Anything that has been announced for switch or looks like it can run on switch I will just wait it out.

I personally will pick 3rd party multi console games on PS4 or PS5 version, not the Switch version after the last time I experienced with downgraded quality 3rd party multi console games on Switch version.
I have some games that I double dipped on Switch and PS4 version but looks like I started to neglect the Switch version and continue more the PS4 version.

It's the hybrid versatility. It's too good. It's ruined traditional gaming for me. It's like being introduced to the cell phone, then going back to a landline... it just doesn't suit my needs, no matter how much better the call quality is. This will be even more true when Switch 2 releases and that gap is closed to a drastic extent. I imagine games will look identical on Switch as PS5/XSX unless you bust out a 4x zoom analysis, barring a 720p handheld resolution and 1080p docked resolution (though many games could be upscaled to 4k, we'll at least see 1080p become the new baseline).
At that point there won't be any more underwhelming ports from games too demanding, aside from shoddy programming which is a concern on any platform.
I fully expect Switch games to be BC as well, so building up the Switch library could very soon pay dividends on Switch 2 with games that have unlocked framerates. Monster Hunter Stories 2 would insta-lock to 1080p 60fps. Neo The World Ends With You, even Pokemon Scarlet/Violet would insta-lock to 30.
New rating for Borderlands 3 coming to Switch surfaced. That's another one I regret buying on Steam now. At least it was half off after the Epic exclusivity, but it's still money that will have been wasted on a double dip.

In theory, there are too many games I want to play industry-wide to ever just go full Nintendo. I love my Final Fantasy 7s, Elder Scrolls, Silent Hills, and the like.
In practice, even owning a ton of different platforms, nine times out of ten, when I want to play something, I reach for my Switch. Even when it means playing a Switch game I'm less excited for over a PS4/PC game I would otherwise be more excited for. I've been sitting on 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim for years, despite really wanting to play that game, lol. Ditto with Sakura Wars. And then, when these games inevitably get ported, I kick myself for having bought the "wrong" version, but detest the thought of wasting money double-dipping, especially when I have a Switch backlog as well, which makes me go even longer without playing the games in question.
I'm more tolerant of double-dipping if I've already beaten the game in question. I double-dipped on Tetris Effect and played it through a second time in handheld mode on my SWOLED. No regrets. It's still an amazing experience. If I ever buy a VR platform, that'll be my first purchase, as I've heard it's even better in VR.
I'll continue to play games I already own on other platforms (especially on PS4/Vita, where I'm far more interested in trophy hunting than on Steam/Xbox), but, going forward, it'll be difficult justifying the purchase of non-Nintendo hardware that'll inevitably be ignored throughout the generation.
@JaxonH Versatility is right. Brand new shiny tv, ps5/series x, pop in a game andā¦remember why I drifted away from the twins in the first place. āWhat do you mean I canāt play as soon as I toss the game in? Itās gonna take how long to load?!ā In the meantime I find my dock, connect it and start playing in 10 minutes (had to connect the mclassic). Series x is still rumbling away. Iād forgotten how inconvenient the other systems are and quick resume fails so much (one of the pros of the series x for meā¦wasted).
I donāt dislike the other systems but they donāt agree with my lifestyle. I have no free time.
@Ralizah I have seen the movie six times now and bawled like a baby each time. Commander Alisha Hawthorne is the superheroine I have longed for all my life. For her to be a part of my favorite Disney franchise is a double win for me. Iām trying to figure out if I buy a standee of her where the heck will I put it. Iām going to miss the perfume avatars (they are still my page banner) but this one is permanent.
@Magician Not sure if I will buy all of them (I am done for the year) but I am curious about these.

My brother really likes quick resume. 10 years ago he was hard-core into 3DS, then GPD Win, then PS, then he built his own PC and got hard into that, now he's all about Xbox and gamepass. Always going on about quick resume. And I'm like ya, it's great... if you're playing different games every day. Whereas I tend to stick with a game for weeks on end (I try new games when they release so there's that). But in principle ya, it's the removal of barriers. I've been preaching to him about why I play Switch all the time, and it boils down to how few barriers are between me and playing. This is the microwave generation. I don't have time for all that nonsense. I like insta-wake, insta-sleep, taking Switch out of dock and it instantly transfers to handheld, drop in dock and it instantly turns tv on, switches input and is on the big screen. Low barrier of entry matters.
Give me a choice of the exact same game on Switch, PS5, XSX on Gamepass, PC and Steamdeck, and I'm going with Switch OLED every time. The value isn't in games being "exclusive", the value is in games being "exclusively hybrid on one device". You could take every Switch exclusive in existence and port to every other platform and it wouldn't change a single thing for me.
The only unfortunate downside is, ya, some games just don't run well on Switch, but like I said before- enough do that it's easy to ignore the ones that don't. In theory I like having access to all consoles (hence why I own every console), but in practice I just never use them. Idk why I keep buying them when I've never really liked Sony or MS 1st party exclusives (and even if I did they're releasing on Steam now anyways so).
But history repeats itself. PS6 and Xbox5 will release and I'll say nah, I'm good, then a preorder will go live and I'll be like, eh, better lock one in just in case, and the cycle repeats itself š

I'm the opposite currently.
I have more hype with my PS4 games I bought recently and I rarely played my Switch games during this year.
The last time I have bad experience with downgraded quality of 3rd party multi console games, it was the last time I pick 3rd party multi console games on Switch.
@Anti-Matter
So why are you hanging out in the Switch thread if all you ever wanna talk about is repeating how you hate playing games on Switch?
You do you, nothing wrong with having preferences, but it seems to me you'd get more conversation from like minded people in the PushSquare thread, as opposed to coming to the Switch thread to repeat ad nauseum how you don't like playing on Switch

@JaxonH
I still like my Nintendo Switch but I rarely play my Switch games currently as every year my hype switched depend on what machines I want to play.
I didn't say I hate my Switch.
This year my hype is really high on PS4 games so I build my PS4 games quickly during this year, even I bought some Switch games during this year too. Last year and last two years ago I rarely bought Switch games for your information.
But at some point in my honest opinion, I can't sugar coat anymore the downgraded quality from 3rd party multi console games I found on Switch version compared with PS4 / PS5 version. Some peoples maybe don't really mind but for me after certain points, I cannot accept the downgraded quality like that if I can get better version on PS4 / PS5 version even I have to sacrifice the portability. That's fine as I also played other non portable games such as PS2, PS3, Wii, Wii U, etc. But, I still give the chance for my Switch games library to grow so I made a different approach.
From now on, my Switch games will only consist 1st party + 3rd party exclusives + 1st / 3rd party remastered from other Nintendo consoles.
And 3rd party multi console games will be for my PS4 / PS5 since they are really depend on 3rd party games. I only like Ratchet & Clank games on PS4 & PS5 for 1st party from Sony.
And that's win win solution for me so I still able to build my PS4 / PS5 games and at the same time I still keep playing Switch games whenever I'm in the mood.
