I'm not holding my breath for this. The days of custom themes like what they had with the 3DS are long gone. I'd be shocked if they allowed for theme customization again.
Died when the Wii U was a trash fire. Iwata made the Switch. Even he was like ‘yeah, the way we were doing whimsy just was not working’I feel like the soul has left Nintendo since Iwata-san diedI wonder if Switch 2: Switch Harder will have actual themes instead of the boring minimalist menu the current Switch has? Will they continue with Miis for character creation? Where's the fucking whimsy??
Yes. But people will actually buy Switch 2.
Yeah it looks like it will be good.

I'm going to guess that they have taken away that gimmick accelerometer / rumble tech that was in the original and that's what they are referring to.
Honestly likely too much work and not enough people will use them. Nintendo does this a lot.
PS4 is a bit of a special case because it's effectively just an x86 SBC with a unified memory pool. It runs a modified version of FreeBSD under the hood iirc. PS4 emulation is more a matter of virtualizing x86 (easy on any processor made after 2010) and writing a translation layer for the graphics calls. That's why even literal toasters with 1060s and 8th gen intel CPUs are getting good perf out of it.
If you're buying digital anyway and don't care for Nintendo releases, there's zero reason to own a Switch. Handheld PCs are already scooping up the people who bought Switch just to play indies.
Cause the average gamers do not have a Steam Deck and are in fact normies.
The average gamer just wants to play Mario. Infact them being able to play 3rd party games on the same machine will be a huge plus for them. They're not going to drag two machines with them everyday when they go out. They're going to pick the machine that lets them play exclusive Nintendo titles natively while also having strong 3rd party support. That's how the console market has worked since the very beginning. PCs are their own market.
As someone who could very well do that I'll explain why I'm not going to
I'm impressed that a non-trailer that contains almost no new info and changes nothing was more than enough to put the thread into a depression spiral.>Nintendo console has weak third-party support
<“umm WOW it can’t even play my favorite third-party games it’s so bad
>Nintendo console has strong third-party support
<“umm WOW why are they talking about third-party games don’t they have anything of their own???
You download, like, one thing in Desktop Mode and follow some really simple instructions to make any ROMs/ISOs/what have you launchable from the Steam client.
There's already two! There's a general Nintendo thread populated entirely by the same people who post here and its totally random which of the two is active at any given time.
While I see your point, there seems to be a growing appetite for PC gaming in general, people I know who used to be consolefags for the longest time getting themselves into this space. To play your PC library on the go, while also having the advantage of emulators, seems to make this console useless. I understand that emulators require set up, and for most normies they probably don't want to go through that effort, but there's some that may. That some is still a fairly large portion who would consider buying a Switch, and it is growing. I am probably looking at this biased since I have never really been into consoles myself, but I feel this industry is starting to crack with PC gaming being more appealing as the years roll on.
