This is the same guy that said he needed therapy after playing FNAF games.

He does share an office with Jesse Cox, after all.

I'm just saying that it's funny how I heard so many people claim the Wii was majority shovelware 10 years ago, and now I see some of the same people claiming we need to preserve *everything* (Edit: and they've all, to my recollection, been faggots who just love to buy games to collect them and tend to shun piracy)

Now maybe Wii U was different, but it just always gives me a chuckle.

This is entirely arbitrary, but even though I have no interest in playing modern games that are bad, I’m more than happy to dig through my rom collection and take the piss out of some licensed shovelware from 2+ generations ago. And now that the Wii is borderline retro (depending on your cutoff), some people find it easier to look back at its easily-pirateable shovelware and make the most of it.
 
Already saving up my tugboat money and skipping scrip refills I can afford to buy 170 Arcade Archives games again... if Switch 2 flops I'll have to buy them a 3rd time on PS5.

That would make me really happy so I can confirm that those rumors are false. No Punch Out Wii remaster either.

Nintendo are going to drag out the Switch's life as long as they can. I'd say 2025 is the earliest we might get a successor.

Is that bad though? I was just playing Mario Kart 8 on my Switch. It was a ton of fun. It looks great. It plays well. It's all working just fine. I don't need another console yet.

What's the pitch for another Switch right now? Super FX? Blast processing? Trilinear texture filtering? Anti-aliasing? Bump mapping? Pixel Shader 2.0? HDR lighting? Radiant AI? 60fps? 4K resolution? Ray tracing? Who the fuck cares when...

They absolutely are, but that doesn't mean Switch 2 isn't coming in 2024. Just look at the 3DS's long decline (or even the NES, SNES, DS, etc.,) thats what Nintendo is going to do to the Switch.

edit: The pitch for Switch 2 is that a lot of the biggest recent releases run poorly on it. Pokemon, Sonic, FE, even Kirby noticeably struggled. And its only going to get worse from here, we're all going to have to wait and watch to see if Zelda is a stuttery mess.

I haven't noticed any recurrent framerate problems during my runs of Fire Emblem Engage and Kirby & the Forgotten Land though. It's pretty amazing how Intelligent Systems massively improved on a technical standpoint from Three Houses (which required cooperation with Koei-Tecmo with the Dynasty engine because IS struggled with its first high-definition game) to Engage (which works on Unity and done entirely in-house).



Gamefreak on the other hand actually requires new talent within the studio, a stronger hardware won't help them to erase their current issues magically.
I argue that the vast majority of 3rd-party japanese games have virtually no difference between the current Switch and PS4/PC so it's more a matter of personal convenience these days.

And there are marvel ports such as EDF4.1 on Switch, which doesn't run as well as it did on my PC (including back when I had an Intel Haswell i5 and GTX 1050Ti) but the fact it runs about as good as the base PS4 version is nothing short of impressive.

Edit: There were also Nier Automata and Persona 5 that people swore it would be either a never ever or a mess of a port not long ago.

While there is always room for improvement with a Switch's successor, I will also say that someone needs to understand that framerate and graphic quality are eventual concessions to make (in favor for the form factor, portability and battery life) when using a handheld system, regardless it's a Switch or Steam Deck. Sure, the latter allows a higher ceiling (with customizable settings) compared to the former but the limitations do remain the same in theory. If one's priorities are performance and graphics, stick to a desktop PC then.
