TheGoldenEel posted... that's nonsense, PS5 and XSX might not have many or any first party exclusives but since they're modern hardware they get lots and lots of support from third party developersI mean, that's how you use it. I pretty much get any indie games I can on the switch due to ease of use. Dead Cells and StS are likely my most played games ever across PC and switch, discounting mods I'll take the switch versions every day. I also don't get terribly many first party games outside of Pokemon. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Id say thats doing a pretty good job. All those other third parties are struggling and having to fire people too. Such a good job Sony/MS are doing providing a healthy marketplace for them. That new princess peach game has sold as much as FF16. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Is this actually true? Honest question. I can think of Kirby Star Allies and Mario Wonder, other than a few ports like Tropical Freeze and NSMBU. This seems quite outnumbered by the number of first party games that aren't 2D platformers.Yoshi's Crafted World, Metroid Dread, Princess Peach Showtime and yes, those ports plus Kirby Return to Dreamland --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ ...

Yoshi's Crafted World, Metroid Dread, Princess Peach Showtime So, are you saying you want no 2D platformers at all? I'm a bit confused by this argument. Wonder and Dread were received extremely well, for example, so it feels weird to dismiss them as "formulaic platformers." --- #SEP #Awesome #Excellent #Greatness #SteveNash #VitaminWater #SmellingLikeTheVault #Pigeon #Sexy #ActuallyAVeryIntelligentVelociraptor #Heel #CoolSpot #EndOfSig ...

Its cheap, its portable, and has good first party nintendo games. Many people are perfectly content with that.

The Switch is pretty much a 7.5 gen system.

the switch 2 will be a very good system, it can run horizon zero dawn and gears of war 5. the dock has a cooler built in so likely a boost mode when docked too. not bad for a handheld at all, and very adequate for porting third party games. it's bc with physical and online switch games, the Switch OS takes only 1GB of memory so plenty of RAM for 1080p leftover. the worst part is the code name which could end up the actual name, "Switch Attach".

The Switch is pretty much a 7.5 gen system. Switch 2 is a 8.5 gen system. They should definitely NOT drop the handheld Thats one of the best parts of the switch. Probably my favorite gimmick, tbh TheGoldenEel posted... nintendo has never relied on third party games so as usual they're essentially supporting the switch by themselves, and with just a few new, original games per year they're not doing a good job of it Tbf, they get a lot of support from indie games, as well And some really good ones, at that TheGoldenEel posted... and theoretically since they're working with like ten year old tech, and at just HD or less it should take less time and fewer man-hours to make their games than your average AAA game right now I think how long it takes depends on the game still A lot of their games do have little Easter eggs and secrets, and they put a lot of care into them Which could be why they take so much time Maybe TheGoldenEel posted... Yoshi's Crafted World, Metroid Dread, Princess Peach Showtime Peach Showtime felt more like 2.5D. Closer to a 3D platformer TheGoldenEel posted... No, I love all those games.

And the framerates were significantly unstable and far worse overall than the Switch. Even hitting 720p was a challenge and rare. Halo 3 ran at 1152x640 for instance.
