@coriander you have higher standards

@aschmitz @kit like i agree that docked consoles are mostly dead at this point, but handheld consoles definitely still have something to offer, and yes the Steam Deck exists, but how different is the Steam Deck from the Switch really? it's still a separate computer you are buying just for games; it just has broader configurability and support at the cost of worse integration and out-of-the-box experience

@aschmitz @kit also it is easier to play a handheld on your couch

@akjcv right but the employer can only coerce employees to do things which it is possible for employees to do, so increasing the range of possibility also increases the range of coercion

@akjcv is it helpful to them or just helpful to their employer

@coriander but yeah i probably will keep buying nintendo consoles because i am more likely to play indie games on it than on compy, but i am not super interested in first party stuff yeah

@coriander fire emblem is still good but you have to like fire emblem for it

@coriander nintendo is profitable just off of mario brand fruit gummies so i don’t think they will crash and burn exactly, but who knows if the switch 2 will be successful

@aescling @wallhackio oh fuck they've confirmed fire emblem path of radiance and pokémon colosseum & xd gale of darkness for future release

@aescling @wallhackio idk but wind waker is a launch title

@coriander @wallhackio you can even receive download games on the original switch; only the sharer needs a switch 2

@coriander @wallhackio there will be a reason eventually due to the whole controllers are mice thing

one good thing is they're bringing back download multiplayer so only one person needs the game to do multiplayer on multiple consoles

@coriander @wallhackio not in the first year at least

@coriander @wallhackio like metroid prime 4, pokémon legends z-a, etc are all still targeting the original switch with an upgrade for better features and graphics if you buy the switch 2 version

@coriander @wallhackio but the answer is that they're mostly still releasing switch 1 games and having a $20 upgrade for the switch 2 version if you’re rich
