Metroid Prime 4 will be on the OG Switch, so no worry about missing out there. It will probably leak like most Nintendo games have been lately and I’ll get to play it early on my modded Switch, even. I think a new 3D Mario is what I’ll be missing out on, which will hurt, but not enough that I’ll be willing to pay almost $500 to play it.
I’m hoping to get one soon. I’ve really enjoyed my jailbroken Switch and the prospect of a more powerful, even more open portable is enticing.
Greetings, mortal. Are you ready to die?
Agreed. It will hurt not being able to play the new Marios and Zeldas (Maybe emulators will pop up able to do so, but it’s not nearly as likely as it was in the past - at least, not until well after the console is no longer sold), but $400 for what’s essentially a walled garden Steam Deck that plays Nintendo games just ain’t worth it to me. The original Switch was worth it to me at $300 in 2017, but times have changed.
It also included being considerably cheaper than other consoles because they use outdated tech. $400 is a hefty price tag for a Nintendo console. I’m sure it will do well, since it’s just “Switch but more powerful,” which is what people were asking for. But for me, it’s too pricey for what it is.
They might have from me if the Steam Deck didn’t exist, but their advantage in the past was always being cheaper than the competition. I’m not interested in paying $400 for a locked portable console.
I leave thinking things went well then find out later no
No they did not
Memberships are fine as long as they add perks and don’t take anything away from what non-members have access to now.
While I didn’t like his class much, it was his personality that really got me. I saw he can become a literal god in some endings. Sure didn’t happen in mine!
Ah, okay, it really doesn’t communicate well through text.
That’s not how whataboutism works.
One is a video game company and the other is a fascist who is helping to dismantle the US government. Ubisoft at its absolute worst doesn’t even come a million miles close to Elon’s evil.
Love Karlach, but I couldn’t stand Gale.
Special shoutout to Astarion. His voice actor adds a LOT to the character, more than any of the others.
You can actually play it with modern controls on NSO if you do a fair amount of tweaking. Makes it MUCH better.

I jailbroke my Switch last year when they went after Yuzu because fuck Nintendo. It’s a launch model, so no soldering or external hardware besides a jig was required. If it were a newer model I wouldn’t have gone through the trouble, but it’s been great not having to give Nintendo any money to play Switch games as well as to be able to run homebrew and emulators. I think I’m going to go with a Steam Deck rather than a Switch 2 - I’ll miss the exclusives, but $400+ for an underpowered console is just too much to be worth it any more, and I’ve gotten used to being able to just load on whatever games I want.
They do love their shadow drops, but I’m guessing no. Maybe they’ll do it for the Switch 2, though - they’ve pretty much run out of Wii U games to port and will have to re-release older stuff now!
