I don't care anymore

THIS JUST IN: natural woods are not wheelchair accessible! In other shocking news, the sun came up this morning!

Cool for those who want it, I don't really game on the go so I'm fine with sticking to my Xbox for it

It makes sense, with costs of hardware production and net profits from them going further in the negative (they were already selling them at a loss), it makes less and less sense to be both a developer and a hardware manufacturer at the same time. Better to partner with those that specialize in PC hardware and take that financial burden off yourself, make Xbox more a service that makes PC's more accessible to casual gamers. The PC and other console manufacturers get an expanded consumer base while Xbox uses brand recognition to get more subscribers outside their previously limited hardware infrastructure.

Getting a little tired of Metroidvania's...

Switch 2 - $500

Everyone: NINTENDO IS SATAN!!!

Handheld PC with an Xbox themed front end app - $1000

Everyone: Eh, it’s a little pricey

Can we stop acting like Nintendo ever made an overarching world or mythology in their games? They’ve always been gameplay first, graphics second, story last.

There’s just some games you don’t play on Switch, but that’s ok it’s a different tool for a different function. There’s some games (ie Witcher 3, Elden Ring, current Doom series, etc) that I only want to play in full 4K on a 60”+ screen and can leave at home.

Yeah dark Batman from the movies and video games was always “my Batman”. Even as a kid I tended to avoid “campy Batman” so I mostly avoided those LEGO games, I’m legitimately looking forward to this LEGO tribute.

And with that, I can sell my Xbox!

Selling off the warehouse

Yeah I'm hyped as Hell for Switch 2, but the box is atrocious

I download all my games, therefore unburdened by controversies such as these!

I don’t get why they’d change the Switch box art style, original Switch had my favorite box styles of any generation. New box is atrocious. Oh well, I mostly buy digital anyway.

@MrCarlos46 Exactly, as long as the hardware keeps improving (which it is) it's going to be a no-brainer for hardware designers to implement versatility into their consoles, guaranteeing portability will be an essential industry standard in maybe 10-15 years time. Nintendo and Apple were a major push in that direction.

That would be exciting if they didn't botch every attempt at a return since the 4th game

I don't care anymore. Until I see "Out Now" I don't care.

Eh good advertising for them if nothing else.

BrutalDoom mod lets goooooooo!!!

Harvest Moon, and life/farm sims in general, was never my thing, but I’m all for supporting more 3DS/Wii U gems getting a second life on Switch!

@__jamiie Are 3D Blu-rays even a thing nowadays?

Movie was fine, not something I'd fork out for a steelbook Blu-ray though

Sweet, time to buy!!

Likely better than the official movie they're making

@jfp Agreed I think Nintendo, Steam, and even Microsoft are showing the days of large box consoles are fading, people like versatile play options (and not in with Nunchucks cough Wii cough🤣)

Amiibo sensor perhaps?

Yeah knowing how aggressive Nintendo's legal team is, why even bother?

Hey you know what, I'm glad they're not rocking the boat too much. Nintendo found their niche, you don't have to start your library all over again, and it has huge appeal for both kids and won over adults like myself who got off the Nintendo wagon after Gamecube, but was won back over with it's ease of use and fantastic support of third party developers alongside some of the best 1st party Nintendo games since the early 2000's in their last iteration.

Next challenge:

"You Can Now Play Doom on a Physical Sheet of Paper"

Hello there, lovely PEEEEEEOPLE!!

I can see it. Honestly since it’s got confirmed backwards compatibility and carryover of features from the Switch, I doubt Switch 2 will sell as well, there won’t be as urgent of a “need” to access its library of games for more casual consumers.

This…doesn’t really work…

That’s called bad game design

Think I'll go back to Flash games

Yeah they've already said Switch games would run on future hardware, plus if that weren't the case they wouldn't be investing in AAA material so late in the Switch's life.

Still sad about it, gone way way too soon

That’s a lot of the same card game over and over…

I’m sorry who and who?

The thing that usually keeps me from upgrading systems is the prospect of having to start my library all over again. So glad console developers have figured out how crucial this is.

@Krull Oh ok makes sense, TAE did plenty of ripping off itself haha

Titan A.E. called, they want their character designs back!

[This message brought to you by the one guy who ever saw Titan A.E.]

Sure whatever. I have such a huge back catalogue I won’t play it til probably 6 months after release anyway.

…..yeah I’ll allow it

I was a little kid and it was Star Wars, so I saw no flaws I loved it. Used to play it with my dad, I’m excited for this one!

I’ll believe it when I see it

AI has been vastly and annoyingly overvalued. It’s handy, but like most shiny new tech fads (yes, it’s a fad) it will cool off. And no, its not going to attain God-like sentience, it will always have its limits.

Wouldn't you have to buy them anyway?

Totally agree. This is one of the reasons I prefer Nintendo or indie games. Nothing kills my interest in a game more than a prolonged opening cut scene or tutorial. If I want a long video I’ll watch a movie, if I want detailed instructions I’ll play a board game.

Man I just KNEW we were gonna get an M rated Mario Party at long last…
