Or, you could just download GB roms off the internet?

Was playing it last night actually. Still holds up.

So BOTW isn't a Zelda confirmed.

Sucks it's so limited, but I'm not paying to play games I already own.

Very glad they're making the controller. I think I'm finally going to retire my 64 and just use PC emulation.

I hope they make more colors eventually.

That'll be cool or mapping macros. I'll use ZL as the open retroarch menu button.

I like how they add the borders to the PAL game art. Looks horrible.

As a 90s kid it's crazy to see Nintendo make a Sega controller.

That frame rate looks rough.

Glad I can buy the controller without subscribing to the more expensive service. $50 is a bit steep though. I'll buy one for my PC though.

N64 games and controller.

@rdm22 BOTW, while a good game, is just an Ubisoft open world game with the veneer of a zelda game.

IGNs audience is the same group who was raised on whatever gamestop was pushing the last decade. Basically trash generic AAA games.

Pretty sad, but it is clown world afterall.

@link3710 LMAO

My $100 LG from 2017 had a bigger 5500MaH battery.

If Nintendo will add playstation only characters, they really need to add waluigi.

@HeadPirate you could own the only steam deck in the world and be fine. It doesn't have a unique store, and is an open platform (pc). This is hardware you buy because you want it, not because you're forced to (switch).

He gave the person the dmg because he got a color.

Are people really this dumb?

@jtmnm this is a false nostalgia. Gc era was literally one of the worst times to be a Nintendo fanboy.

@progx No I don't think it will hurt the Switch that much, as switch has a large player base. If it hurts them at all, it will be handheld players wanting to play big games ported or not to switch at better performance for less money. PC gaming is still largely more of a hardcore gamer thing, and consoles like the switch is a casual device.

Outside of my gaming friends, they don't know anything about games either. This device isn't marketed towards non-gamers.

This Steam OS (Steam OS 3) is a bit different.

This device has gyro aiming, as shown in the IGN video.

The dock isn't necessary to hook it up to your TV or monitor.

If anything, like PC gaming, this will continue to eat into PS and Xbox.

Steam deck. Hopefully XC3 comes out on Switch so I can skip the next Nintendo console too.

Or maybe I'll just wait for emulation.

@progx STeam machines were console replacements. Consoles are for generally casual gamers and don't really appeal to anyone who wants to play on PC.

However: the PC + Switch combo has been very strong. PC gamers want this device. People that like the switch and want third party games want this device.

The pre-orders sold out like crazy.

Buy Witcher 3 on Switch for $60, or get it on Steam for $8 with much better performance?

@CivilMadman The Zune was much better than the ipod though. I went through ipods like crazy. Still have my 120gb Zune.

@progx Steam has more active monthly users than any of the consoles.

They sold out and it was a huge cluster...

Oh yeah, and this will play every Nintendo game made. Lmao.

I kinda want one as a portable pc even though I never play switch handheld.

@Maxz if Dreams is any indication, you won't.

If the game is successful it will have some memes.

@ok1 2d Mario should be $40 as well.

It should be $40.

Whats funny is a switch pro would actually hurt nintendo.

It blows my mind how people are amazed by this.

@JuiceMan_V too much kool aid. Dreams was much more useful on a much more powerful system, and even then it couldn't do that level of detail.

The best "game creation" game is available for free on PC : unreal engine. You know, a thing thats made to create actual games (including Nintendos).

They should sell that data back as loot boxes.

Does her dress blow up?

@Fighter_Hayabusa lmao that ship has sailed.

@Luigisghost669 if I can make an exact copy of it without you losing your copy absolutely.

I've heard a rumor that the switch pro can do 8k 240 fps docked.

Amazed so many people pick atomic purple. I always hated that color.

When the GBC first came out it was only available in atomic purple and grape. I went with grape.

I voted Kiwi, but teal is very close.

Video games are a sport? Lmao. Clown world.

As with most kids stuff, cringe.

@GamingFan4Lyf Nintendo isn't going to launch a ln $800 console.

I'd cool your expectations.

@TheRedComet having a powerful laptop is great and all, but then you have to use osx.

I thought I needed a powerful phone and bought an iPhone last year. The lack of freedom made me regret it and I sold it. Same thing with macs.

Of course some people are into that.

Makes no sense. If anything, Apple would just use their service across mobile and bow mac with the m1 chip. A handheld would serve no purpose, then again the iPad pro exists.

Hopefully Apple loses this lawsuit.

$500? Lmao have fun with that.

Obviously the Metroid community is not better than this.

SNL has been trash for at least 16 years.

They renew trademarks all the time. They did so for Xenosaga a few years ago and aren't going to do anything with them.

Dreams was $30 too and could produce actual games. Controls were terrible though.

I don't expect this to be very good unfortunately.

did some digging: since the 3ds carts use all flash memory, thats the problem. Eventually if flash isn't written to, it degrades. That mostly 10 years for things like memory cards and USB sticks. Since 3ds carts aren't writable, they will all die.

The article is incorrect. Phone gaming is bigger than the switch. Its bigger than all consoles and PC combined.
