Hell yeah. This year really can be the year of the backlog with news like this.

(Also release Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess please, I'll still buy those on the Switch just like I picked up Kirby just now for $40 from Target).

While we're at it, maybe a port of the newer Tomb Raider trilogy? I wouldn't mind owning those on the Switch, as long as they run like Red Dead and not like Arkham Knight trilogy.

They got Xenoblade 2 to look and run like it does on the normal Switch.

Only reason I can think of is that people like to be financially dominated by gaming companies and like being forced to buy new hardware every five years and get antsy if they dont have to. You see this with sickos wanting a PS5 pro

I would predict heavy backwards compatibility. It's not like the Switch is a particularly complex architecture.

I just hope they keep it cheap, one reason we have a switch is because they’re like 200 something bucks. As soon as it veers into steam deck price I’m out.

It's pretty complex, it can be played handheld, tabletop or docked and the controllers can be removed from the sides.

I do feel like this about a lot of their games but theyre fundamentally fun so it’s ok. Pikmin 4 only had one post-game area that’s been tough (I have yet to do the final final area so we’ll see.) and I’m starting to feel like it’s overstaying it’s welcome but the game is just so good I don’t mind too much.

The backwards compatibility is locked behind the more expensive model of the switch 2 I read in one headline a couple months ago

I could use a cozy game with mild social interaction right now, and I'm starting to look at Palia. How's the gameplay loop once you get through tutorials, and what does actually playing with other people entail?

Palia has a good foundation but the social stuff is buggy as gently caress and after the initial gate of building your house, progression slows way down.

I dropped it for other farming games with more bones.

The decorating is fun, though. It's the only one I've played where all items you can cook can also be placed in the world.
Having a big bowl of steaming ramen on the table is a lovely touch.

An important metric for them is hardware sold. The software helps sell more hardware. If they make a hit new game on a new console, everyone has to buy it. If they make that same game for the switch, much less people have to buy a new switch.

I'm sure part of it is watching the other two consoles bumble around loving it up for 3+ years and realizing they can just chill out and make good games and bank.

The Switch has a bunch of exclusive games that would be the single best game on PS5 and Xbox.

It would also be nice to have a console with somewhat beefier hardware, so more multi-platform games can be played on it

Yeah, I’m kind of bored so far of MvDK. I just want to get to the later levels. I went on YouTube to see how much content there was and was kind of disappointed to see someone beat the whole game in 6 hours and finished did everything except time trials in 3 1/2

180 seconds on the timer per level, 130 levels, means 390 minutes or 6.5 hours. Seems like the only one who should be surprised (and ashamed) is your 2nd grade math teacher.

No crank, but the buttons are all six inches high and spring loaded to require several footpounds of pressure. This extra energy is recaptured directly to the Nintendo Battery 2
