I hope that whenever there is a new console it's fully BC and just a more powerful Switch or something. We finally got a new Mario Strikers! Don't leave us without these games on new hardware :(

Yes please. My Switch library is pretty large at this point, so it would suck if we have to leave that behind, but this being Nintendo, I fully expect their next console will not be backwards compatible.

Nintendo isn’t terrible about BC unless their old console was some weirdo dualscreen thing. I have faith

It was pretty funny to see all of the same facial features and hair styles from Fallout 4. All of it is exactly the same but with a new UI.

don't stop, carry on.
There’s a bunch of games on gamepass like Forza or Snowrunner or thehunter or Cities Skylines and alike where the base game is free but there’s a crapload of DLCs. Which is like ok I guess as long as they produce some sort of GOTY version every so often.

Forza Horizon 5, Gears 5, Sea of Thieves, Halo Infinite and Microsoft Flight Simulator all have a pretty heavy emphasis on online components with most having a microtransaction/gacha component to them.

Horizon 5 trips over itself to give you fee cars? What can you even spend real money on? I played about 50 hours of that game and don’t think I ever once felt like it was asking me to buy anything?

Never played Gears or Sea of Thieves. But FS also has incredibly low monetization where like 99% of people don’t care about flying an add on plane.

I'm kinda hoping that now they've become somewhat more serious about their online store that the chances of BC have increased and their hardware gimmick phase is over with having settled on hardware that covers home & portable gaming perfectly. It's their own niche and they could just stick with that but add more power. It's a great system so I hope they stick with the design and keep everything BC.

I like the Destiny-style component of it with the open world that has events triggering that other players can join in. Random boss fights etc. look were a great surprise and it was nice to see that familiar chaotic gameplay after how moody and slow the initial gameplay reveal was.

What would you call Nintendo titles?

“Nintendo first-party titles”, which in my experience perform just fine (except for Link’s Awakening). I thought you meant like, Call of Duty or Assassin’s Creed or something. Nobody should expect good performance on a Nintendo console from those.

No, even Nintendo's own games have serious problems at times. Kirby the Forgotten Lands was amazing, but its graphic fidelity and performance suffered a lot. 3rd party exclusives like Shin Megami Tensei V ran like absolute dog poo poo.

Idk I think it's reasonable to hope for. Nintendo's track record on BC isn't bad, most of their handhelds and the Wii and WiiU play prior-gen games. They only slipped a little recently with dropping Virtual Console for subscription services. Hopefully nobody expected Switch to have an optical drive for WiiU discs, but Nintendo definitely knows the advantage of launching a new console with BC. And these days Switch 2 would be the odd one out among consoles if it didn't support it.

Redfall is basically just a full game centered around a single storyline quest zone from the MMORPG the Secret World.

The switch has been so successful as a form factor for Nintendo that it's hard for me to see what they do other than just a straight more powerful version next gen. They have like zero competition

The switch is the first time they ever made a non BC console I want to say no?

Wii played GC games, Wii U played Wii games, 3ds played DS games, DS played GBA games

Switch was a new thing so it’s understandable but if a switch 2 doesn’t play switch 1 games boo

Totally agreed. Arguably Steam Deck is competition, but it's targeting a barely overlapping market segment so really it's just validating Nintendo's success.

Arkane getting to spread their wings and try new things is cool and Microsoft giving all these devs the freedom to make whatever they want is great but I really hope they return to the Dishonored IP sometime.

Also I just noticed that Wo Long game is Team Ninja? Microsoft really has been putting in the work with Japanese devs. Now we just need them to fund a Chromehounds sequel by From Software :swoon:

You can see some interesting wild life for a split second at least in the trailer, but yeah I was hoping for way more. In comparison to the Outer Worlds, this just looked really dull.
