That's Implosion's launch price and they act like it's highway robbery. And then they wonder why IOS is prioritized. Emulation is still the main event for Android gamers. The rest mostly play esports/moba/autoplay mmorpgs.

404, 08 Sep 2023Tried TLOZ: TOK on Switch and no, it's just run poorly... moreIt depends on the Android model. Also, Switch games bought long ago are still playable on the Switch today. Old android games like Chaos rings 1 and 2 are only playable on older Android versions. FFXV Pocket edition is still unplayable on my Android 13 because square hasn't updated it yet. Implosion had to be updated to work on Android 10 and newer.
Google Play Premium games section was filled with trash and Google did nothing. Games pretending to be on 99c to $1 are just low tier VIP benefits but the games are just f2p games filled with IAPS and timers.
Android gamers are also treated like second class citizens on mobile gaming scene. Genshin Impact, the poster game for mobile AAA gaming, is not only a gacha trash but also lack "official controller support" due to Apple paying Mihoyo/Hoyoverse for exclusivity deals.

Also which part of Android is "unoptimized, hackable, spying, buggy, and bloaty"?

imparanoic, 07 Sep 2023While there are a lot of crap games on switch estore, there... more> Expect sub USD 400 price tag and it's performance could be closer to steam deck then people expect.
1. You can't (and never able to) compare performance between ARM and x86 processor. Both are two whole different architecture, two different things.
2. Don't expect them to provide powerful hardware. Nintendo is already known for providing inferior hardware compared to its competition. Just compare Wii U to 1 year younger Xbox One and PS4 (both were released at the same year) and see who's the inferior one. Wanna go thru a worse route? Compare it to something way older like Xbox One and PS3, Wii U is still the most inferior one.

Anonymous, 07 Sep 2023Why Android? That would't make sense for a Switch and ... moreAndroid doesn't mean the Switch OS should be based on Android. It can be some Android emulation that can be installed on it. But again, this is Nintendo, you should lower your expectation to 0%.

kek, 07 Sep 2023You can count with your fingers the number of companies/gam... morehalf true.
the fact is, since only nitendo allowed to sell games on switch that means they can put up pricing of their games at their pleasure.
imagine being required to buy a game for $60 to play it on switch only to find out that said game sell for more that half of that in other platform, since people have no other choice.
worse when they decide to make it "nitendo-exclusive" and any excuses to buy nitendo games in/for other platform practically does not exist anymore.
and that's what i call "corporate greed" at it's finest, and nitendo already flooding in money with this business model so much that they dare to sell switch at a loss.

Zendroid, 07 Sep 2023Hopefully with 2023 tech, and android! Nintendo, like Apple, is all about optimization. Look at how great their games look on 6-year-old hardware! So why would they use an unoptimized, hackable, spying, buggy, bloaty, Linux-based mobile OS like Android?!

They have been outselling Sony on the portable space since the NDS vs PSP days and 3DS vs Vita. Toy graphics vs more advanced ones back in the days and the toy graphics won.
And the gmmick dual screen? Sony and Xbox tried hard to copy it with companion apps on Android and IOS.
