One issue is that I fear that on the “Switch 2” is that Nintendo will once again “start over” and pretend that they are doing us a favor by allowing us to play Super Mario Bros on yet another device, ignore the service, allow us to play Metroid, ignore the service, and so on.
If this subscription is here to stay it NEEEDS to be the same across both the Switch and “Switch 2” in terms of content.
It really does seem like Nintendo wants us to start over on every new device. So for the “Switch Next” it will be funny to see them trot out Super Mario Bros again.
I’ve been around the gaming industry a long time, I’ve been a reader of this website for many many many years and this is the first time that I don’t understand something.
I think the Switch is going to be my last gaming device since industry is going in a direction that I can no longer comprehend.
It always felt strange that Acclaim published Crazy Taxi on the PS2 and GameCube. If I recall, Sega claimed that they were “too busy” to handle the ports.
I am not understanding what “NFT’s” or “Blockchain” means. I barely get Crypto currency. Maybe it is time to stop playing video games. I don’t really have the time anymore…
In a way, by keeping the specs around the GameCube Nintendo had a chance for the handheld device to catch up with the home device in order to combine the two of them.
At one point Namco was set to fully own Ms.Pac-Man fully but then AtGames (the people behind the Atari Flashback and old Genesis plug & play) bought out GCC’s rights and messed up that deal fast.

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D Physical Prices Jump As eShop Closure Looms
I purchased mine last June before the delisting glad I did now.
Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Being Eyed Up For A Potential Takeover
It seems like every decade someone is trying to “hostile takeover” UbiSoft.
Re: Star Fox Character Designer Wants Nintendo To Port The Wii U Entry To Switch
Giving Star Fox yet another chance? Jesus Christ man.
Re: It Looks Like Nintendo's Game Boy Emulator For Switch Online Just Leaked
And I also get the vibe that this could be one of those things that turns out to be true but in some leaked document in 10 years.
“GBA support was planned on NSO for the Switch but Nintendo couldn’t emulate the battery indicator led so it was scrapped.”
Re: It Looks Like Nintendo's Game Boy Emulator For Switch Online Just Leaked
It might not happen but it would be nice if the Shaman King Master of Spirits 1 & 2 got a second chance here.
Re: Square Enix Officially Announces Kingdom Hearts IV
Sora is too pretty…
Re: E3 2022 Is Officially Cancelled
E3 has far outlived its usefulness these days.
Re: The 3DS Is Getting Another Physical Release This Year, And It's A Pun On 'Vagrant Story'
I purchased a standard copy.
Re: We're Getting A Second Valis Collection On Switch
I waited too long on the first physical release so both of them will have to be downloads for me.
Re: Andro Dunos 2 Switch Physical Edition Pre-Orders Fly Into View
Currently waiting on Pixelheart to send out both the 3DS and Switch versions.
It is nice to see the physical 3DS end on a solid release.
Re: Andro Dunos 2 - A Knockout Shmup Success That Nails The '90s Arcade Feel
I am eagerly awaiting both the Switch and 3DS copies (I doubled dipped).
Re: eShop Closure Be Damned, This Dev Is Bringing Seven New Games To 3DS And Wii U
I already gave this guy my word that I would buy these games. At least on the 3DS.
Re: Video: We Can't Stop Buying Weird Nintendo Games
One dollar is a great deal for the thing that killed THQ.
Re: Chex Quest HD Exists, And It's Getting A Switch Port This March
Day 1 download to go with the Dooms.
Re: Feature: 31 Best DSiWare Games You Should Get Before They're Gone Forever
I highly recommend Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ. It’s a fantastic shooter game that does have a physical release but the price is up there.
Re: Black Isle Studios Is Bringing Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II To Switch In 2022
I’d kill to have a physical release of the two Dark Alliance games.
Re: Soapbox: Why Can't Nintendo Offer Both Virtual Console And Switch Online?
One issue is that I fear that on the “Switch 2” is that Nintendo will once again “start over” and pretend that they are doing us a favor by allowing us to play Super Mario Bros on yet another device, ignore the service, allow us to play Metroid, ignore the service, and so on.

Re: PSA: Update All Your 3DS Games, Even The Ones You Don't Own (Just In Case)
I did Federation Force today.
Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Switch File Size Seemingly Revealed
Who sold their soul at Nintendo in order to do these compression techniques?
Re: Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation And DLCs Will Also Disappear From The 3DS eShop
I think this would of been avoided had the Switch included a 3DS slot like it had in earlier designs.
Re: Random: "I'm Able To Trust Sony More Than Nintendo" - Japan Reacts To The Closure Of The Wii U And 3DS eShops
It really does seem like Nintendo wants us to start over on every new device.
So for the “Switch Next” it will be funny to see them trot out Super Mario Bros again.
Re: Poll: The End Is Coming, But How Much Will You Miss The Wii U And 3DS eShop?
There was a brief period of time that the 3DS eShop had a “must have” game every single week.
Re: Nintendo Is Closing The 3DS & Wii U eShops And Has "No Plans To Offer Classic Content In Other Ways"
Well, is it good that I purchased everything as we went along?
Re: The Evil Dead Game Has Been Delayed Again, Will Now Arrive In May
Primitive Screwheads, they can’t release a game on time…
Re: Take-Two Says GTA Trilogy "Significantly Exceeded" Sales Expectations Despite "Quality Lapse"
I would buy it, but it would have to be all on the upcoming cartridge.
Re: The Wii U Is Getting A New eShop Game In 2022, Will Include Balance Board Support
From what I can gather, the series is decent. The only reason I never downloaded the 3DS game is the price.
Re: Soapbox: Dear Konami, Please Do Something Decent With Castlevania
It’s still insanity that the Mobile version of Symphony is not on the Switch.
Re: Taito's RayForce Is Coming To Switch, According To New Taiwanese Rating
Day one download. It’s been far too long.
Re: Soapbox: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Raises The Question - How Much Do Janky Graphics Matter?
Considering that a lot of us went from the DS to the 3DS to the Switch, graphics do not really matter.

So which will come out first Bayonetta 3 or Metroid Prime 4?

They have been saying this for twenty years…
Re: 'Breakout: Recharged', A Revamp Of Atari's Arcade Classic, Launches On Switch Next Month
I’ll get this one as well, I do second the notion of needing a paddle controller for this.
Re: Back Page: After Spending $70B On Activision Blizzard... What If Microsoft Buys Nintendo Next?
Breaking News!
XBox Nexus XS Elite (Microsoft’s next Xbox) will have a cartridge slot for Super Nintendo Games.
Re: Microsoft Buys Activision Blizzard, Now Owns Call Of Duty And Crash Bandicoot
I think Geometry Wars Galaxies is the only Activision game that I own.
Re: Talking Point: How Does Microsoft's Purchase Of Activision Blizzard Impact Nintendo?
This won’t affect Nintendo too much. Bethesda seemed to have more games out for the Switch than Activison does.

Organ Trail? It’s my last hold out game on my phone.
Re: Exclusive: Former Sega President Wanted Virtua Fighter 3 And Crazy Taxi On The Nintendo 64

I didn’t think that people took these awards shows seriously.
Re: Afterimage Is A Beautiful Hand-Drawn 'Metroidvania' Heading To Switch Next Year
Hopefully it doesn’t feel “floaty” like Bloodstained does.
Re: Talking Point: Should The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Library Expand Faster?
One big question is if Nintendo will “reset” yet another time and pull this s*** again on the next system.
I consider the Switch a reset since it did not carry your Wii to WiiU or your DSi to 3DS to the Switch.
Re: Gamers Vote Nintendo DS As The Console They'd Most Like To See Make A Modern Comeback
Can one imagine the vastness had the Switch been backwards compatible with the DS and 3DS?
Re: Video: Hands-On With The 3DS Dragon Quest The West Never Got To Play
This is the version that I wanted to come out, it sounds like it has things that make it feel more alive.
The on the fly 2D or 3D.
Actual retro representation.
Better graphical style.
Better flow.
It’s a bit of a shame that at one point Square Enix “expected” Nintendo to release their games for them.
Re: Former Metroid Prime Engineer Admits He Was "Disappointed" With The Wii's Specs
In a way, by keeping the specs around the GameCube Nintendo had a chance for the handheld device to catch up with the home device in order to combine the two of them.
In the long run I think it will work out
Re: Step Aside, Switch Pro - The Orion Upswitch Wants To Turn Your Switch Into A Handheld TV
Wasn’t there some crazy device that turned the PlayStation TV back into a handheld?
