whatever I feel like said:
Throw Octopath in there too. That team just doesn't know how to make games fun.

The first Bravely Default was alright but you never engage with the system until well too late in the game. The second was just copy paste with a worse story and a cursed translation.

Octopath was just a blueballing game, it hints on some larger plot but ends on a wet fart with the optional conclusion being an autistic boss rush. Gameplay wise it's more of a bother than actually fun since you need to swap characters constantly and you barely get some gameplay upgrades besides some broken classes later.

The second game was just a retread only to be even worse with how the plot got super dark in one route only to become very lighthearted the next.

Bother those cases I quit the sequel in the middle out of boredom.

Square Enix has been releasing plenty of games on Switch, just not the AAA slop.

At a glance just at what I own:

Bravely Default 2
Chrono Cross / Radical Dreamers pack
Collection of Mana
Crisis Core
DioField Chronicle
Dragon Quest 11
Dragon Quest Builders 1,2
Dragon Quest Monsters 3
Dragon Quest Treasures
Dungeon Encounters
Front Mission 1st, 2nd remakes
FF 10 / 10-2, 12 hd ports (plus the many other really junky FF ports they made)
Legend of Mana
Live a Live
Octopath 1 & 2
Romancing Saga 1, 2, 3, Saga Scarlet Grace, Saga Frontier, and Collection of Saga
Star Ocean 2 R
Tactics Ogre Reborn
Tokyo RPG Factory trilogy (I Am Setsuna, Lost Sphear, Oninaki)
Trials of Mana
Triangle Strategy
Various Daylife

Yeah OK they didn't release FF16, the gay FF7 remake, or Forspoken. Sonyboys can keep those👍

I’m actually disappointed in Square’s reorientation, because in combination with their statements about reducing the number smaller games they make, we’re probably just going to end up with only FF17 on everything and no sequels to those smaller titles.

Odd coincidence, I started Perfect Chronology two days ago.

Is the extra content as bad as I heard?

The entirety of Perfect Chronology is dogshit unfortunately.
 
For third party non exclusives and people who own more than just the switch, do you even bother buying the switch version? I’m not counting super cheap things like stardew valley but things like this cat game

Restarting my collection currently. I have a soft spot for physical media, so I think my plan is to get both if possible. Currently I have a Switch and soon will be getting a Steam Deck. If I buy a game on Steam, I would like to get it physical on Switch even if I only play it on the Deck.

I used to just get games on one console when I had a PlayStation, but since Deck + Switch is a better combo, I would rather just have Deck operate as a PS that will fill in gaps better with its wider variety.

Those only have a lifespan of 20 years if Macronix are fully honest about their specs.

This got me concerned about my collection. I found this forum post about this, apparently the 3ds and Switch have a feature to automatically repair the ROM, so just make sure to plug in your games every now and then

Wow. I thought they were true ROMs this entire time. That's horrible.

Switch has been pretty much my go-to platform by default for all Japanese/Asian, indies and old western games since 2020, whereas the Steam Deck is simply used to fill the few missing gaps (the original Dead Space titles, Yakuza, Armored Core 6, Lies of P and the upcoming Earth Defense Force 6 for instance).

The Witcher 3, The Talos Principle, Tasomachi and Serious Sam Collection are playable, albeit not the most optimal experiences but they still get the job done.
But for the other games, there are virtually no differences between the Switch version and the one on PC or Playstation. Sometimes, it can be even better such as Muse Dash on Switch still getting the same updates for free (while late-owners on PC have now to pay for them) or EDF4.1 not having memory leak in online lobbies plaguing the PC version.

The form factor and hybrid functions of the Switch are awfully convenient. I bought the console as a handheld at first, but I alternate the television/tablet/portable modes whenever I feel like it these days. And the exchange rate between euro and the yen (1000 yen equals to ~5.90€ these days, might go even lower later on) coupled with the lack of region-lock both help a lot too.

Edit: I also appreciate certain Switch ports being well compressed in data size compared to their PC counterparts.
Such as the Crash Bandicoot Nsane trilogy being ~5GB on Switch while it reaches 30GB on PC, Nier Automata costing 11GB (versus 44GB on PC), etc.
I assume the upcoming Switch port of Ace Combat 7 should stick within the 16GB cartridge which is a large difference from the original 60GB with the DLCs.

I'm more curious why you would bother buying anywhere else.

On Switch I get a cartridge, no installs needed, I can share it with my wife & kids, I can move between multiple TVs and play handheld mode, and I get the best options for controllers (SNES / Famicom included).

The number of games where "oh shit this runs like garbage" would override the above is pretty slim and mostly slop I'm not interested in.

For me I have too many of the games purchased for the Wii U, and the vWii on it is hacked to have the rest of the games. I won't be re-buying the same games for the Switch unless there's a dramatic discount or improvement (or I never played the original, like Link's Awakening)

They still haven’t added basic colorization options to Game Boy games. It’s just DMG green or Pocket gray.

They have a GameBoyColor option if you go to settings on the left side (below local/online play) before you pick a game. But it's only set for the default color given to that specific game, you can't change it to any other colors like you could on the actual GameBoyColor system.
