I don't think this is accurate.

It kind of is. Sony's first party output has been pretty dreadful so far.

Thank god for Bloodborne though.

Just the same thing as the 360/ps3, came out first & cheaper.

Wii couldn't compete with that, it has its own games.

Microsoft also really hosed the marketing with the xbone, just like Sony did with the ps3.

The lack of Kid Icarus: Uprising on the list of perfect Nintendo games shocks and astounds me

Being horrible to play if you are left-handed alone disqualifies it from being perfect.

Apparently Laura Kate Dale was on Obe1's channel spilling some info about the Switch. It's a long video, but gamexplain summed up the big stuff, like 32gb storage on the Switch (which is pretty standard for tablets).

https://youtu.be/5OVvJOeUdUs

I can't really watch a video at the moment, is that 32gb just the internal storage with on option for an SD card or something?

Because 32gb is a really loving small amount of space otherwise.

What's up with Bayonetta? I do like action RPGs. Can I skip the first one? That's the one that has a really expensive physical version but still on the eshop right? Looks like the 2nd had online co-op? Are people still playing it? Is it matchmaking or do you need a friend or what

You can skip the first one but you shouldn't. Both of them are amazing.

Nintendo strives for accuracy in its emulation. Their games have been vastly improved in emulation. Not that they cant when they want to, the Wind Waker remaster was better then the dolphin version with its tweaks with was better then the gamecube version. But then, they charged full price for it. (worth it, fast sail hell yeah)

The wind Waker remaster (or remasters in general) isn't emulated.

To be fair there have been glimpses of things that didn't happen or changed. Famous spaceworld Zelda made everyone cry because Windwaker happened instead. 128 marios turned into Pikmin.

Wind Waker and Pikmin happening instead was a great thing.

"What are the good mods for Skyrim?"

"You can make dragons into Randy Savage!"

The good mods for Skyrim are the ones that make the gameplay marginally less poo poo.

Don't forget the fan patches to fix bugs that Bethesda ignores, or just plain using the command console to fix quest triggers that break.

I think the major disconnect is that apparently looking at red flags and glaring issues that the console has is apparently immediately gas lighted as "Nintendo is DOOMED!" talk which is loving stupid.

What kills me is that Sony and Microsoft figured out years ago to pad the post-launch release schedule with rereleases. Nintendo hasn't, despite having a much deeper back catalog and a much more receptive audience

Imagine last night's Switch presentation, same price, same release schedule, but also with stuff like, a 2D Metroid collection. All three Pikmin games on one Switch Cart. Skyward Sword for Switch, now without waggle!

The PS4 got poo poo for having so many rereleases, the Switch getting a ton of rereleases would have been a huge selling point.

Skyward sword without motion controls would a really major change. The whole combat system is built around it.
