It's disappointing that we STILL, even on Switch 2, can't expect average modern multiplatform games to run on a Nintendo console. "Miracle that it runs". WTF went wrong again? 500 bucks for a console and we are making it out to be Gameboy Color. Nintendo needs to seriously step it up with the hardware already. There is room to improve even if they want to keep the hybrid design.
Yeaaah this + the cartridge containing only few gigs of data means NOPE from me. Getting PS5 version physically and for handheld experience I'll just buy it on Steam and play it on the Deck.
God I was so worried to even read this article. Microtransactions in a full-priced Zelda game from Nintendo would be the breaking point with gaming for me.

Re: Surprise Surprise, Lenovo's Leaked Handheld Looks Like A Switch
@Kiyata By that logic, your phone is a handheld. It can do the same thing. Stream games via Wi-Fi.
Re: This Side-Scrolling Shmup Has Intriguing Gameplay, But A Terrible Name

@Agent_P Breath of the Wild for example. Some cartridges are already at 1.6.0. Japan has a version with the DLCs built-in too, which is super cool.

Re: New Report Alleges Sexual Harassment And Discrimination At Nintendo Of America
That's majorly messed up. But you know... I don't want to get Kotaku-ed, so I'll wait for more intel. This needs to get investigated.
Re: Poll: Budget Line Box Art - Is It 'Fine', Or A Sin Against All That Is Good And Pure?
I am guilty of paying more just so I don't have to look at these lines or borders. Be it PlayStation Platinum, Xbox Classics or Nintendo Selects.
Re: Random: This $10 Nintendo Switch eShop Game Has Suddenly Shot Up To A Whopping $250
