You don’t see the heavy perfomance issues in so many S1 games?

Game Key Cards don’t exist on Switch 1, those are all full cartridges.

And so is the Switch 2. S1 hardware is really showing its age by now.

Did you also complain about the Super NES because there was already a NES?

The Switch 1 does not play Switch 2 games.

like how multiplayer games require multiple hour long sit downs.

There’s no shortage of multiplayer games with short match lengths. Fighting games are like ~3 minutes on average, and you can just stop clicking rematch when you want to take a break.

Exchange rates aren’t a complete picture of global economies, you really have to look at the average wages for people living there. If the average person in these countries is making substantially less than the average US/UK/EU consumer, just setting prices based on the exchange rate may result in games being unaffordable. So it makes more sense to price in those regions based on purchasing power, even if they’re making less money per copy sold that’s better than making no money by selling no copies.

What? Its purpose is to play Switch 2 games. Same as any platform.

If you don’t own a Switch at all, then I’d say definitely grab one, you’ll have a pretty big back catalog of S1 titles to catch up on. Even for legacy content, performance will be better on S2, and you’ll be future proof for future games, so I would advise getting S2 over S1.

If you already own a S1, upgrading really depends on how much you want new first party games. I bought it for Kirby Air Riders and that alone was well worth the price for me after waiting 22 years for that sequel.

Ordinarily I’d say if you’re not that interested in the current lineup you can always wait until games you really want come out, but with the economy being fucked it’s possible there may be additional price increases in the future. So if you’re at all considering it, I think it’s best to grab one sooner rather than later. I’m half joking when I say I bought mine for Kirby Air Riders, I was also just nervous about tariffs, and I made the right call locking my purchase in at the launch price.

S1 is really showing its age. We’ve got new hardware, they should use it.

It looks like this list is manually curated, so there’s probably more that just aren’t documented as such.

Game Key Cards are all labeled as such on the bottom of the box. If it doesn’t have a big infobox explaining this, then it’s a normal cart.

Remember when XB1 was going to be digital-only and Sony roasted it so badly Microsoft had to walk it back?

Sad thing is, I always figured this was going to be inevitable. I just didn’t think it would happen this soon.

I have some questions for whoever’s claiming that.

The first party games are fantastic, portability is useful, and it’s affordable compared to everything else. But I think anyone expecting power is setting themselves up for disappointment. Buy it if you wanna play first party games and low-spec indies, but be careful with ports. I always have to research ports I’m interested in to double check if they’re okay.

Kirby Air Riders was worth every penny, I’ve waited 22 years for that sequel.

Mega Knockdown a turn-based fighting game that successfully adapts the best part of fighting games: throwing rock four times in a row because you’ve gotten in their head well enough to know they’re gonna throw scissors four times in a row.

If he’s fully aware that consumers don’t want it, maybe he should listen to them instead of whining that he’s not allowed to lie. Because that’s what he wants, he wants to just lie by not disclosing.

My bachelor’s degree in CS hasn’t even gotten me a single interview yet. Feeling like it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on.

If you truly think AI is so great, why don’t you want to disclose it?
