Re: Feature: What We Expect From Nintendo For Super Mario Bros.' 40th Anniversary

I would expect... nothing? Nintendo seems to be caught on their back foot to start off this generation, and I'm not sure why. Very few of their upcoming games have release dates. DK Bananza and Mario Kart World are great games, but both of those games could have used more time in the oven. There are rumors that the Partner Showcase had notably missing games. 3rd party devs still don't have dev kits. It just seems a little off right now. They may do something, but I'm not getting my hopes up in the slightest.

Re: Video: Switch 2 Vs. Steam Deck System Face-Off, Digital Foundry Investigates

I own both a Switch 2 and a Steam Deck, and I learned very quickly that one does not replace the other. Switch 2 has the convenience of console gaming in spades over Steam Deck. However, the flexibility of customizing game settings is so much better on Steam Deck. Case in point, I've been playing SMT 5 Vengence on my Steam Deck. I tried it on Switch 2, and it was horrendous. It was upscaling from a terribly low resolution, stretching it across the 1080p screen. However, on Steam Deck, I have it all settings on high with it running at a locked 60fps. At the same time, Steam Deck can't hold a candle to the experience of playing DK Bananza both handheld or docked. They both systems aren't perfect, but they're both amazing, and one hasn't replaced the other for me.
