@Clyde_Radcliffe - Because they are developing a game for multiple platforms at the same time and then trying to port it over to Switch, which as we know has weaker hardware. If this was designed from the ground up for Switch, it would be a different story.
@Truegamer79 - There is nothing wrong with wanting an almost 6 year old system that is beginning to show its age, to have an upgrade. I love the Switch, it’s probably my favorite Nintendo system, but in comparison to the current gen consoles it’s needing an upgrade.
@RubyCarbuncle - Yeah, I’ll eventually be buying the DLC. Just so I don’t have to worry about losing access in the future to NSO, or if I don’t have wifi and my switch wants to randomly validate my access to the course.
@RupeeClock - I’m right there with you, the pro controller control pad is very disappointing.
I use the SNES online controller for Tetris 99 or other games that require precision from the control pad. The Hori Switch Pad Pro (or whatever the heck it’s call) has a superior control pad when playing in handheld mode.
@Hero8-Bit - It was my go to for all games the past few years, but I recently acquired a PS5, so like you it’ll be mainly for Nintendo exclusive titles or older ports that are fine in portable mode. Any new third part games will be purchased on the PS5.
@Would_you_kindly - It depends on the speed of the connection between the USB port and the processor. It depends a lot on the design of the existing hardware. The design of the hardware might not allow that sort of scenario to happen.
@Would_you_kindly - That would depend on how the architecture is designed, from a hardware standpoint. Like would the onboard storage be fast enough to be utilized as extra RAM or not.
@Coalescence - It can be sold off years from now and find his retirement. Of course we can’t take it with us after we die, but it can GM bring us joy in our younger years and serve as our retirement in our final years.
@Not_Soos The problem with the Wii U was the lousy marketing, it probably would have done better if it wasn’t named ‘Wii U’ and didn’t seem like just a new Wii accessory.

Re: Got Joy-Con Drift? Don't Worry, Those Switch Controllers Can Live On As Works Of Art
@Magician - I still hate the Wii remotes more. 😆

Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About Wave 2 Of The Mario Kart 8 Booster Course Pack?
@RubyCarbuncle - Yeah, I’ll eventually be buying the DLC. Just so I don’t have to worry about losing access in the future to NSO, or if I don’t have wifi and my switch wants to randomly validate my access to the course.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 On Switch
@IronMan30 - It’s still playable, but the system is definitely starting to show its age in handheld mode with certain games
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 On Switch
@IronMan30 - Docked it looks great, in handheld, it’s quite blurry.
Re: Can You See John Cena In This Official Fortnite Release Trailer?
@Fizza Who is multiplying? Looks like a picture of a factory.
Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Version 1.1.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Alpha008 - Yeah. It’s pretty lacking in extras.
Re: Soapbox: 20 Years Later, Super Mario Sunshine Is Still The Best 3D Mario
Listen, I don’t have this game. Comparatively to other 3D platformers it is very good… but compared to other 3D Mario games, it’s pretty rough.

The soundtracks are also available on Apple Music as well!

Re: Hardware: With One Change, These Hori Pokémon Controllers Would Be Perfect For Arceus
I honestly didn’t know this game had gyro aiming. I use the Hori Split Pad Pro and had no clue! 😆
Re: PSA: Don't Let This Pokémon Legends: Arceus Softlock Catch You Out
@Medic_Alert - Honestly, that’s the main reason I like Pokémon games. If I want to just have a mellow gaming experience, that’s what it’s for.
Re: Digital Foundry Does a Deep Dive on the Super NES Classic / SNES Mini Emulation
@impurekind or make classic systems that can actually play the old carts too! They'd make a killing.
Re: Playtonic Gives Update On Yooka-Laylee For Switch
@SLIGEACH_EIRE do you just post in the Switch threads reminding everyone you don't have one and how you hate ports? I think we get the point.
Re: Video: Take a Look at the Famicom 3D System
I have one of those, looks like it has never been used. I still need to get games for it.
