The Merkinman posted:They couldn't even be bothered to make it backwards compatible with the digital store, so we're stuck with drip fed bottom of the barrel games for their older systems. But you're acting as if their decision to support backwards compatibility is random, when it clearly is not. The Switch has actual physical limitations preventing support for past generations: it uses carts instead of disks, it's a single screen device, and doesn't have pointer technology. The assumption is that a Switch 2 will use similar technology as the Switch, because the Switch is the most successful thing Nintendo has ever done. Every single instance in which they've used similar technology they've supported backwards compatibility

The Nintendo Let's Go will be backwards compatible with first party Switch games after purchasing the HD upgrade as part of an extended NSO membership. That same membership also grants you access to all of Nintendo's backlog of titles named "Mario Goes Missing" and nothing else.

Absolutely. I’ll need like $15k to commission a report from an industry expert, of course. Because lost sales aren’t the kind of thing that a lay man could prove to win an internet argument, but they’re hardly an inscrutable mystery that can’t be known. People prove that they lost sales all the time.

Been playing a little gungeon here and there lately. Surprised my muscle memory came back as well as it did, I was able to get to the kill pillars. I've forgotten what a lot of the guns do though and it's real tedious to leaf through the ammonomicon, I wish they'd streamlined it

I sucked real bad at Gungeon until I learned that you're not supposed to look at the enemies you're supposed to focus on your character and dodging all the bullets. The aiming at the bad guys part is secondary.

Yep you need to rely on your peripheral vision a lot...and understand that while there's a million bullets on the screen, you only need to worry about the ones heading towards you. Lessons I have to relearn for every bullet hell I play. Gungeon's fun as hell, better than Isaac imo

i guess one factor that goes into backwards compatibility is the ease of programming for the switch. is the switch easy to design for? if they roughly kept the same architecture, which i have no reason to think they'd move from, would it be easy to run the old games? and speaking of the architecture, is the switch's architecture easy to keep and just throw more resources at? is there any reason they'd want to move on from this architecture?

Damnit I forgot how much I loved AW. I don't know why, it's just a dumb turn-based which is not usually my type of game. Good balance and map design, lose five times and then feel rewarded when you win, type of thing. I guess

I don't know, but if I can't migrate my Switch games & saves forward and play them natively on the new Thing, I will not be buying that Thing.

I've been having fun with Synthetik. One of the 2nd level boss fights is bugged though, with like a 50/50 chance of crashing at the end. The Steam version is better because it has online co-op, but it's still a decent game.

I believe that, legally, you can only ever play backups that your ripped from your own physical copy. Downloading a rom from the internet is illigal even if you've purchased the game yourself elsewhere. But if you do get your hands on an early physical copy (legally, because it was shipped early or something) you're in the clear to play it as much as you want, including by ripping a copy and playing it on an emulator.

Roughly, it's legal if it is an actual backup of a game you own. It's not legal if you download a ROM of it, even if you paid for it, but if you use a hacked launch Switch to dump a game, that is legal to emulate. That said IINAL and the entire thing is kinda murky anyway. For example, I don't know if backups of digital games are fine, and there may be restrictions on how exactly a game is dumped. The above is a general rule of thumb though. Basically, no, it's not legal to download the leak of TotK early, but at the same time I doubt Nintendo is gonna go after people who download it early unless they do poo poo like stream it or show off content of it before launch, particularly if it's monetized. No one here will give a poo poo if you do pirate it unless you post spoilers or whatever.

Serious question. "Backwards compatibility" has been a thing for PC games for decades at this point. I have games on my Steam library that I bought a good 20 years ago that I can still play. Sometimes there can be jank with it gelling with a new operating system, and sometimes games do get removed, but generally you buy a game on Steam once and you can just keep playing it. It seems consoles are starting to go with this system a little bit? (I think. My knowledge of non-Nintendo consoles is very limited. I've been a Nintendo + PC gamer for years). What would stop Nintendo from doing the same, aside from "They make more money by forcing people to re-buy all their games for the new system"?
