Nintendo Switch (Currently Plagued) - Here we shit post about the new Nintendo console, The Switch

“They kept NES roms in the pre-Virtual Console Animal Crossing, so they probably kept it in 2023 where they nickel and dime people for nostalgia every chance they get.”

It’s a different era, companies don’t shove old games into new releases like they used to. That Metroid bonus might take precious subscriptions away from Switch Online!

No, no, you mis-understand me. When AC got added to the N64 version of Japan's Switch Online a year or two ago they kept the NES games in.

The difference is that NSO already comes with NES games, and you would need NSO to even play Animal Crossing, so they probably didn't care since people can already access them

Wait what? I didn’t know it was even on NSO.

But yeah, this. It would also be more work to take them out.

Isn't original metroid already on the NSO thing? I guess it would have been nice if they included it.

I've been playing the trilogy on primehack, and I beat prime 2 about a month ago, and I'm on prime 3 now. The new updates look fantastic graphically, blows a simple HD upscale out of the water, and inspires a lot of confidence in prime 4. I'm still not so interested in getting it, since I gave up hope and went ahead and emulated it already. Don't want to replay prime 1 right now.

The GBA/GB thing is fine by me, I didn't play that many gameboy games really, and putting golden sun on the gba service is good. I pay for the NSO expansion pak thing with a friend or two, so I don't mind the paywall much, just a minor tax, and it's the only one I'll be assed to pay.

The trailers for TOTK are not great, but it looks like there's some caves, and the banjo kazooie karts are neat. There's almost nothing they could do that would make me not buy the game.

I'm pretty sure it is, it definitely made the news that Animal Crossing re-released with NES games in-tact somewhere in the 2020s and thats the only possibility that I can come up with.


Unrelatedly, I did some digging and that really bland Mickey Mouse game was made by Dlala Studios, the same people as that really shitty Battletoads game. Think I'll pass...

DAMMIT, I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT, ACTUALLY, SEEING AS HOW IT'S A REBOOT OF THE SEGA ILLUSION GAMES. WHY. MUST. EVERYTHING. SUCK.

Its actually totally unrelated to those, zero Capcom involvement, the title is just deliberately similar because they know the game can't stand on its own two feet.

The Etrian HD trilogy causes me a cluster duck of confusion of if they're going to keep any of the Untold 1 and 2 content which fixed I and II. Also think the series should have died and no EOIV is gay. I haven't cared about Fatlus in years and I already have both the DS games and the Untolds anyway so fuck off.

They're officially jumping the shark in my book.
They've been pissing me off for a while, but this is the straw that broke my sperging back.
Continuous digital ports for ridiculous prices.
Atlus can fuck right off into bankruptcy.

This presentation just makes me happy I have a Steam Deck.

Even if the Deck can't handle it at least I know I'll get to play it in Ultrawide 144fps on my computer.

Frankly, yes. Though my desktop barely gets better output than the Deck nowadays, so I expect Zelda to take a while to work well unless it's a pleasant surprise like Dread was (it just emulated almost perfectly on Yuzu from day 1). Scarlet still performs like shit though, so you never know what you get when emulating the Switch.

I'll probably stick with Primehack Trilogy. And I still find it baffling that nothing from Prime 4 is even in a state to be revealed after like... what, 5 years now? Zelda also taking 6 years seems pretty iffy, either the game is fucking huge, or it's gone through development hell.

It's annoying I guess, but I think Nintendo is seeing crazy returns for short marketing cycles with ongoing promotion for each title as part of overall platform promotion. The game is probably coming along well enough, and why market a game that, best case, comes out in November, when they can market the overall platform and shit that's hitting within a quarter or so. I'm wondering if Prime 4 is the holiday title this year alongside Mario and Pokemon DLC. The super long hype cycle only actively harms my enjoyment of games. Think of all the fucking anxiety about TotK from wanting it for too long. No amount of information would satisfy while also not fucking with any enjoyment.

I'm betting there's an April Zelda direct though to cap off the cycle and give them a couple more trailers to throw at us.

OK, that's a solid point and I do appreciate Nintendo for the most part only shows stuff coming in the next half a year, but it does make it extra noticeable when they blow their load early like they did with Zelda and Prime 4.

Why market anything Nintendo, period? They created their own market with no competition. Nobody goes "Hmm, Switch or PS5?". They groomed a generation or two with Pokemon and they don't need new fans because they'll release the next Zelda game with a new OLED Switch model and people will buy their 5th Switch to finance the smoll indie developer.

They haven't made a competitive console since the 64 which was immediately outclassed by the PSX, and ever since they've gone for gimmicks over specs. The GC literally used discs of half the size of PSX and made a wacky controller for no real reason. They're releasing half-baked first-party games and people buy them at $60, play for 4 hours and ditch it forever, feeling confident in the purchase cause they've nothing to measure it up against; say, a good game for the PS5.
