132.2 million?
Back in the Gamecube days the consoles was doing so abysmally poor and everyone was up on here talking all the time.
That's 6 times Gamecube sales!
At least Gamecube had Eternal Darkness.

The Switch does have tons of ports and re-releases. But I don't find it to be a problem because the Switch has strong enough third party support that there are enough new games on the system available that you could avoid the re-releases and still have a healthy backlog of stuff to play. Prior to the Switch Nintendo would remake an old game and that was it, for like a three month window. Play this port or play nothing.
I also wouldn't discount PS4 ports even if they come a few years late. Again, back in the Gamecube days a port of a well regarded PS2 game was a valuable entry in the library. That sort of thing isn't great if you own all the current systems but if you only own the Nintendo one then that's essentially a new game. It's the sort of thing that between the SNES and Switch was rare for Nintendo consoles. Over the last year I'm starting to see the types of games I'm interested in get announced for the PS5 and not the Switch but prior to that I could kind of assume that the Switch would get the games I'm interested in. And if that's happening for like 80% of the games on your radar then you don't get hung up on the missing 20%.
Nah, I just didn't have anything to talk about. Still pop in occasionally to read though.*bitching challenge accepted - how did I do?*
I'm just glad to know you're ok. You stopped posting during Covid and I began to wonder if something happened to you pertaining to that.
... I mean half of the GBA's success 20 years ago was getting handheld ports and remakes of SNES games. ...
The problem specifically for me (which doesn't affect the majority of people) with copious Switch ports is that I've been around a long time, and have most of the original games available and playable already.

The only problem I see with this is that a lot of old hardware/software is breaking down. As in decomposing. It's unpredictable what is going to last past 40 years. I was watching this video on some old Mac Hardware from 20 years ago that is no longer working or badly corroded. Even if it was kept in immaculate condition .
