FF7, 03 Apr 2025Nintendo’s New GOAT Regardless how I feel about Nintendo ... moreHahaha, you're obviously a Sony fan, not a Nintendo fan. If Sony announced the PS Vita 2, you'd probably be holding a parade to celebrate. Dude, Sony games are literally disgusting and completely ridiculous garbage. Just watch the trailer for Death Stranding 2 or Naughty Dog's Intergalactic. Sony deserves to die, Nintendo doesn't.

It's like the song "What's My Age Again" by Blink-182. I really like playing video games, but I also really like kissing girls. If you think people who play video games are 8 years old or want to be "Peter Pan," then you probably aren't as passionate about video games as you claim.

The console itself is an easy sell and due to its expansive library worth the money, however... the cost of new games is astronomical and an insult and that makes me really reconsider buying the Switch 2...

Solun1, 03 Apr 2025Since when do we call lying a matter of semantics?Let's be honest, if you ask 100 gamers, do you think that everyone will agree that a 60 Hz 720p OLED screen is better than a 120 Hz HDR VRR 1080p LCD screen? If two devices are exactly the same except for the screen and have the same price and I have to choose between the device with a 60 Hz 720p OLED screen and a device with a 120 Hz HDR VRR 1080p LCD screen, I will choose the latter as I consider it better. Moot point, though. It's a given that Nintendo will release a Nintendo Switch 2 OLED in the future.

PS3 emulation is a thing and that was the most complex one to make run.

SlyAceZeta, 03 Apr 2025$450 for a console with these specs is actually a pretty go... moreThe increase in the game prices does have an inherent offputting effect. But when you put it in context:
Both median and average US wages have increased by ~37% since 2017. 2017 switch games were $60 for new first party titles, so in today's money they would be $83. The relative affordability is essentially the same in that regard.
It just stings because we're so used to game prices being so stable, and I do think you have to be careful as a publisher since certain price points just inherently become very difficult to mentally overcome, even if inflation does mean that a game should technically be priced at that level.
