You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!
I heard the cartridges only contain a Steam installer and you need to download the game.

Why would anybody own both a PS4 and a XB1

To take advantage of all the timed exclusives for multiplat games, of course

Seriously, does this gen have any really amazing non-Wii U games that aren't remakes?

Some of them aren't remakes.

Some are sequels with the exact same engine and probably assets as last year's game.

There are current gen emulators. It's called "buy the game on Steam."

Gaming computers are super expensive and nobody can solve the Lemarchand's box that is building a computer.

None of those old games are real games. Not without hours of cutscenes penned by great writers such as David Cage

"There hasn't been a good Nintendo game since that one game I liked when I was 12 years old." - some 30+ year old goon that thinks Fallout 4 is good probably

Speaking of Xbox, though

Nintendo should take Microsoft up on the offer to allow cross-play. Like, imagine if Switch and Xbox COD could play together. Suddenly buying the Switch version isn't an insane idea?? Some people might even double-dip for portability.

Never gonna happen but it would be smart.

Consoles are all about service ecosystems now, not game exclusives or power. The money is in subscription-based services, so your choices are Sony's multimedia ecosystem or Microsoft's weird Windows 10 ecosystem. Paying for the ability to play multiplayer games online is just an extension to that business model. Why would Microsoft or Sony want to play cross-play with each other when they can coax people to play in their own sandbox?

I wonder if Nintendo will get in on that monthly subscription model for online stuff.

My uncle works at GameStop and says their location in Dumpwater, Florida will only have one switch. A hickory switch.

It's amazing to me that the posters on this forum hate video games so much yet still definitely spend 9000000 hours a week playing them.

I'm a PC gamer and my favorite game on the PC is Hate Post About Video Games

What would good online look like?

What features, etc?

A choice between IPX or TCPIP as my communication method. Also, to be able to type the net address or modem phone number of the game I want to join.

Now imagine if Nintendo creates a MOBA using all their characters.

It would probably be like Heroes of the Storm and nobody would play it.

Alternatively just buy Nintendo brand accessories :shrug:

Buy lovely third-party controllers so when your friends come over to play, they get the lovely third-party controller. Don't break tradition.
