No you don’t. The money this show prints makes others possible. Don’t gatekeep only because you dislike what the mainstream likes

I’m trying to make progress in Octopath Traveler 2. Maybe I’ll finish that game one day?

Since JRPGs are my main thing, there are some obvious picks there but I am drowning in my backlog already, so I’m very hesitant to buy anything right away.

I’m still not sure which one I will be continuing. I’m betting on Octopath Traveler 2 though.

Okay man if putting it like that helps you sleep at night, then be my guest.

First: that whole “oh no mario kart is 80 bucks” ragebait stuff is cringe. You don’t want to pay that much for videogames? That’s cool, but stop polluting everything with negativity.

Second: take that AI slop somewhere else. I’d have more respect for this post if you did this by yourself. You mention not having the skills? How about investing a bit in yourself, get some skills and do it yourself. Even if done badly - that would have been better than this AI cringe.

I mostly use nintendolife. That’s a Nkntendo only website. Back in the day I enjoyed Destructoid but that became utter trash.

Genuinely exciting stuff

Those are some thicc thighs!

The activism of Collective Shout is just puritanism cosplaying as feminism. Do not be fooled, feminism is not anti-porn per se. Especially not more modern versions of feminism.

And I never said the contrary.

Then don’t buy one.

Also, the panicky “Nintendo will break your Switch 2 to make you buy a Switch 3”… sigh. Just think for a second before writing stuff like that.

Why on earth are peolle posting stuff in a Nintendo sublemmy when they obviously think the worst of the company? This is worse than reddit.

Wow, thank you so much for this write-up! That Selaco box looks perfect!

Putting aside that you’re comparing GPU prices to full system prices, I’m going to write what I always write:

People buy Nintendo consoles for the Nintendo games.

Looking at it in a purely technical way is completely missing the point. Nintendo does not compete on a technical level. It does just enough to give third parties a space to put games on. That’s pretty much all they need.

A family will not buy a Steam Deck. Can’t exactly go to a the next store and buy one either. The Steam Deck, just as all handheld gaming PCs are niche devices.

The Xbox Series S is an all digital device and not everyone is comfy with that. Also, it only does 1080, 1440 for some games.

Don’t get me started on a decent gaming PC. That’s way out of the league of an average family.

PS5s are as expensive and offer few actual exclusive games. Family games are rare (the extraordinary Astro Bot being an outlier).

From that perspective… the only alternative casual consumers have to a Switch 2 is… a Switch 1?

(Also that second to last gen performance claim is weird. If Digital Foundry is to be believed, Switch 2 is a very capable machine a slight cut above PS4 with some advanced stuff in the hood. Considering that the Switch 1 was able to surprise many times on a technical level, I think it’s going to be a decent enough machine. Certainly not second to last gen, which would be 360/PS3).

Yeah what does it give us except for… access to Nintendo exclusive games and maybe the best portable experience available for that price?

Have you looked at the prices of other consoles?
