Oh and this right here. It's funny how in every previous gen people bitched non-stop about the lack of third party support on Nintendo systems, but now when the Switch has had great third party support, many Nintendo fans seem to completely ignore it. The third party support the Switch had in the first half of this year alone, is already better than the support we'd have in entire years in the past. Just look at the Nintendo Direct reaction on some of the more Nintendo centric forums last September when a lot of these great third party titles were first announced. Some people were literally saying it was the worst Direct ever, worse then even the ones from the 3DS and Wii U era that literally had only a handful of games shown and Nintendo having to talk about other **** just to fill up time.Go off, go off.
This gen has really shown that a lot of the Nintendo hardcore really don't care about anything that isn't the big Nintendo guns like Mario Platformer, Zelda, Pokemon, Smash Bros, because so many great games get completely ignored by them. Hell, some still ignore Splatoon despite the fact Splatoon 2 and 3 are both 10 million plus sellers.
It's like anything that's not directly related to the N64 and Gamecube era of Nintendo doesn't count, since that's when so many of them first came online to talk about Nintendo games and are permanently stuck in the early 2000's.
2024 feeling dry asf already. If we don't get a general nintendo direct in april like the rumors said then that's going be sooo bad.Oh no! The software lineup of a seven year old console is lower in the year before its successor is released!
I was not really sure what this was. Is it DLC for SMT5?Looks like an enhanced/complete version akin to Persona 5 Royal, or more directly: Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse.
To be fair, some of the best selling games on the switch are wii u ports, so there's some logic to nintendo not bringing back backwards compatibility so that people double dip. Not saying it's likely to happen but it still could.Yeah, but that’s because nobody got those games on Wii U.
This says that Switch 2 will have physical and digital backwards compatibilityThe backwards compatibility would be lovely, if true. But I find the backwards enhancements a bit suspect. It has to be a dev-side thing, right? Like, the system can’t possibly perform such actions itself.
and that Devs can "enhance" Switch 1 games on the Switch 2

I'm assuming that will be higher frame rates, cleaner textures, higher rez output?
Lost RuinsNot to be confused with Lone Ruin, which is a wild and crazy twin stick roguelike that has great music and aesthetics and brutal difficulty.
Well this is a dark metroidvania staring anime girls. When you first start the game the message even tells you this is going to be a survival experience where every decision matters. So I'm thinking OK, this will also be a Soul-like experience as well, since we all know these indie's love to make everything either a Souls or Rouge-like these days. Well for the 30 minutes, it was kind of like that with my character having limited items to heal, and slower combat that you had to be more careful with.
But then you find equipment you can equip that autofills your HP after taking any damage, which completely destroys whatever survival experience that developers where trying to do. Seriously, it only takes about an hour until you realize just how broken some of the abilities you can equipment can make your character, and the rest of the game is just a joke difficulty wise. Every non-boss enemy I was able to one-shot by the half way point of the game, and even the bosses go down pretty fast once you realize their patterns.
At least it was a short game, takes less than 5 hours to beat. After you beat it it had a new mode that lets you play as different characters, that once again, they also become easy to cheese the game after about an hour as well. At the end of the day it was an overall OK experience, especially since I bought it on sale, but the game completely fails at being this challenging survival experience it literally advertises itself as when they make it super easy to cheese the whole thing
