One thing's for certain: Don't expect any AAA games on the Switch.

Depending on your view on triple-A games, that might be a good or bad thing.

That's true, the Switch has its own internal battery, no need for AAAs

I feel like if Nintendo releases the switch with a large library of NES/SNES games available on the VC it will sell like mad from that alone.

At the absolute worse case scenario, Switch is a mario / zelda box that doens't take up too much room. Everything over that is a bonus.

the last great Zelda game was 14 years ago, though

Why is it so blasphemous now to want a Nintendo console that has all the triple-A third party titles on top of Nintendo titles?

Cause they cant compete there 3 years late. Just own 2 consoles or a pc if you care about them. A handheld can not do everything you want for a few more whiles yet.

Nah they make more money trickling them out so that their whales can buy all of them. All at once and people just pick the best few and forget about the rest.

My dream is a subscription to play their whole catalog of vc games but that wont happen ever

That's fair, I think I removed companies that did 3DS games as well since they could have done poo poo for Wii U, or at least were aware of it

quick, somebody make a monstrous raspberry pi box that renders AAA games as a strip of single frames on accounting calculator ticker tape. I wanna hit winkey-alt-g and have a replay of the sick stunt I did by accident in Just Cause 3 print out onto 40 feet of receipt paper.

most of the time it was plugged in to the base, then when he gave it to jimmy to use in portable mode it seemed like jimmy intentionally didnt move around much and stared at the ground so there wouldnt be any noticeable frame drops
