no, it's even more retarded than that - they still hold onto the systems and original cartridges it's based on - and yet still get excited whenever they get shoddily emulated to whatever Ninty's flavor-of-the-month retro package is. don't believe me? Look up some of the reaction videos to Goldeneye's NSO announcement

>SimCity gets announced for Super Nintendo Entertainment System Nintendo Switch Online

"YOWZA! I already bought SimCity on Wii and then again on Wii U and also own the cartridge but I'll FINALLY get to play it again!!!"

"Can't you already play it on your Wii? Or your Wii U? Or your actual SNES, with your cartridge?"

"...Mods, please ban this troll"
 
I know we're supposed to be clowning on 1-2-Switch! but this looks like it would be a lot of fun when we have friends over. Being able to use cell phones is pretty neat but they probably scrape some data in the process. That quiz game could be literal dynamite at a party after a few drinks. Good times!

Also props to my boy AfroNigger for playing some of the games with his eyes closed. Someone has done this before.

Games like Stop Talking or Everyone Explodes and and Wario Ware have been pretty popular party games in addition to the usual suspects like Mario Kart and Mario Party. I... might actually get this. :cringe:

I'd probably clown on it more if it wasn't an appropriate price (30 bones, the price the original SHOULD'VE been to begin with) and didn't add phone support. Just those two things makes it way way more appealing to me, since the latter means I don't need a bunch of joycons/another switch to have some stupid fun and the former means I'm not wasting 60 dollars on ten minigames that're over with in 5 seconds. I'd be way more willing to pay 30 if it means I can get all my friends who will exist eventually if I just touch grass more in on the fun without also trying to sell them on the game.

Jackbox does the exact same thing and those games are so fun. Just be sure to keep a pack of apple and android chargers around as there's always one or two friends with a dead battery so you stop playing or keep them left out.

There are also no promises (yet) that users' existing libraries of digital games will necessarily carry across, and it may not necessarily mirror what's seen on other platforms.

I'd assume this just means there are no promises that the next system will be backwards compatible. Do you really think Nintendo would add backwards compatibility without transferring existing purchases?
... You know what, don't answer that.

They may not have figured out that this extends to the games you buy as well. My only hope is that they may try reintroduce the Virtual Console or equivalent to replace their current system of trickling out 20 year old games.

I don't get why they don't just give you the option to purchase old games individually in addition to the Switch Online option. I'm no businessman, but wouldn't it basically be free money?

There's no better way to tell the world you have money to burn than buying the Arcade Archives version of Pac-Man.

Because that makes too much dog gone sense. And Nintendo almost never do the actual sensible thing.

Don't forget that would extend to any company's game they'd bring to the service, because the ability to buy a game separately and not having to buy their entire collections to get it and shit you probably don't want (Looking at you Capcom) is haeracy in the game industry.

I don't know, I prefer the large collections since they give you way more bang for your buck. For example, the PS3 and 360 each got Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection which was $50 at launch, but you got 40 Genesis games plus 9 arcade/Master System games and some other bonuses. Then the Wii expected you to pay $8 for a single rom running in a barebones emulator.

True, but the thing that Nintendo is trying to do amounts to Netflix, but for ROMs that arn't even from the past three console gens compared to the Switch at the very least like with Microsoft and Sony, which is borderline retarded on paper compared to the collections of old, and even collections now (like the Mega Man Legacy Collections which would have easily been one complete package in the PS3/360 days) hardly compare to their older counterparts like SUGC.

Heaven forbid. I got it on sale, as I'm quite thrifty.

The Capcom Arcade Stadium games are a buck a piece on sale. Surprisingly good emulation and features. They're just gouging Mega Man fans, sorry, but CAS does have the two Power Battle games fwiw.

They went from giving away old ROMs as a bonus feature to $8 a piece in about a generation. I've noticed it's almost always about $8 nowadays, whether the game is from 1982 or 1999, whether it's a rom in a blank emulator or a full-featured re-release, whether the emulation is exact or terrible.

Also have to mention that the Sega Genesis collection thing for current gen consoles is impressively half assed, compared to SUGC or practically anything else. Laggy, dogshit UI, the works. Not quite unplayable but they sure tried.

Man, it really is. Don't forget bad sound emulation in the Switch version. The PC version at least tried to be creative with official mod support, which hilariously and predictably got abused to hell.
 

However, despite saying he now regrets not bringing Call Of Duty to the Switch, Kotick’s biggest revelation was that he knows all about the console’s successor and claims that it has ‘closer alignment [with] Gen 8 platforms’. In other words, it’s almost as powerful as the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

This is actually somewhat worrying information. Going by this info, the Switch's successor isn't even quite as power as the current gen systems. Those systems are old tech at this point. Even if the Switch's successor is still portable, it shouldn't be hard for Nintendo to produce something that stronger than its years old competitors at this point and sell it for a still reasonable price. It seems like Nintendo is under-investing in their hardware again.

I would be concerned that this means it's 10+ years out of date on release, but I'm gonna be honest you don't need graphics better than those consoles' so this isn't a huge issue.
the PS5 and Xbox whatever-it-is-now (Series X? Series S?) are totally useless in the graphics department, there's almost no improvement with them compared to PS4/XB1 imo. Certainly not enough to matter beyond autistic comparison videos or extremely nitpicky people. So just hearing "it's good enough to have some really damn good graphics" is good enough for me.

Let's just hope any successor's load speeds are faster than those two pieces of shit were lol.

While true, most devs these days are making games that are graphically intensive to where you need a powerful rig to run it (thanks in some part to the engines they are using), and in the case of the switch, doesn't the thing lag and frame-drop like crazy when it's in portable mode? You know, the thing that it was made to do if you're not sticking it in your living room?

Not really a good look when you want to import all these big games for the little device when it has its legs cut out from under it with hardware that underperforms on it's one selling point.

I don't disagree- but I (personally) don't care much for a lot of 3rd-party output anyways, so it's not a huge deal for me.

Also, I don't know where you're getting the frame-drop thing from. I've always had the same amount of issues in portable as I have in console- it wholly depends on how the game is optimized, from what I can tell, and most games are optimized well enough for the only change between portable and console to be graphics (sometimes noticeably worse in handheld, presumably to keep up performance). I've had more issues with overheating than I have lag.

1. The Switch successor is likely to be another hybrid portable console, and so squeezing the power of a bigger console into a smaller frame with battery life considerations
2. It will be significantly more powerful then the Switch, which is already Nintendos best selling console with its games topping the charts.
3. The current generation of PS5 and Xbox Series consoles have had muted reception, due to the fact that their greater power does not translate to meaningful improvements. Not everyone has 4k displays or notice the difference with upscaling, and bloom effects and shit don't really improve gameplay. Nintendo, however, has definitely re ached the limits of the Switch hardware and an upgrade just to PS4 levels will be huge.
