Slash Gear's Eric Abent writes: "With the Nintendo Switch on the horizon, many people will tell you that the console needs a strong launch library out of the gate if it wants to succeed. They’re right, of course, but I also think there’s a segment that could have a great effect on whether the Switch sinks or swims: retro games. Nintendo’s Virtual Console has been around since the Wii, and the Switch will almost certainly have a Virtual Console of its own. While perfecting the Virtual Console may not be as important as a deep and varied games catalog, it still needs to be a key area of focus if the Switch wants to succeed. "
Chinese gaming peripheral maker Mobapad has outed Nintendo Switch 2 info "through our partnership with Nintendo's supply chain."
Interesting I like what I've read so far.
Full backwards compatibility with games carts and digital, comparability with pro controller and joy cons (they can't be docked though)
So basically my investments in switch one games and hardware seems to be respected
because trying to make something current gen that is portable and efficient would be selling something on par price wise with something that would cost more than a PS5. It doesn't need to be cutting edge since it can leverage Nvidia tech to help push better visuals without the need for beefier rigs. DLSS is going to be a game changer for this device.
Cutting edge is at the edge of current. No one is expecting this.
It should be better than the Steam Deck at the time of release, given that they only really need to copy-paste Mario and Zelda, and plug a few sh%& ports now and again. But it won't be, it will probably be around $400 or a bit more, as much as the Steam Deck, but it will be inferior to it.
I'm really banking on it being backwards compatible. I really hope it is and it sounds like it will be.
PlayStation x PUMA orders open April 18, 2024, Priced between $100 - $120!
Isn't any better or worse than any other shoe. Most of them are made in sweat shops no matter what logo they have
I'd be embarrassed wearing any clothing with a console sponsored brand unless is was 12 years old.
Puma the unofficial sneakers for the NYC Breakers from the movie Beat Street (1984)
Those were the suede ones like the burgundy ones with the fat shoe laces. If you were really nice you had the checker board laces done up. A pair of Lee or Guess jeans a BVD nylon T-shirt. Rocking some Gazelles and Kangol cap preferable the beaver fur.
Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol
Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.
Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.
Speaking about overgeneralizing much.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.
Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.
I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.
I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.
That is just silly a new console needs old games to be successful.a new console needs new games that are awesome and new.
Funny. I clicked on the article thinking it's about Retro Games on the Switch. But it's about retro games on the Switch.
Honestly, if Retro Games made a new Metroid Prime for the Switch, it'd buy it without hesitation.
lol jk
To make Switch a success . it got to reboot snes titles to draw in ALL gamers.
After digesting this opinion piece, I can say Virtual Console is a selling point to core Nintendo fans, and a buzz has stemmed from the rumoured inclusion of Gamecube titles, but from that core audience. I personally cannot wait for this, but know it's marketability in becoming serious competition for Sony & Microsoft revolves around bringing fresh new releases to the system along with a solid third party support.
