    Nintendo winning this console generation with the Switch 2 was not on my bingo card.

      My MSPaint skills aren’t what they used to be, but imagine a console version of this

      They need to up their exclusive game…game. Other than DK Bananza, their output has been disappointing. I only got a Switch 2 now because it’s only going to get more expensive and I’m hoping for quality exclusives in the next 6 or so years that they’ll be supporting it.

        You do realize the Switch 2 already has more exclusives than the PS5, right?

          Yes, but the quality of those exclusives is lacking compared to their previous consoles. It’s only been a year, so I’m going to be optimistic that their output will improve. Looking forward to Ocarina of Time and Xenoblade Genesis.

          Ports of games to Nintendo consoles are always the worst way to play them due to the weaker hardware, so exclusives matter a lot more on them. It’s the entire reason I got one. PS5 is good for more than just exclusives (especially since, as you pointed out, it barely has any!)

      Nintendo shut down the e-shop for the 3DS. All the digital games you owned? Gone.

      They’re part of the problem.

        The 3DS is very easy to jailbreak. Highly recommend it. Just in case anyone needs to hear this.

      Nintendo being the best option for a consumer (from a legal perspective) was not on my bingo card

        Why bother with consoles anymore? PCs are so much better

          Sadly, I can’t qualify for the 40 year loan I would need to buy a PC.

      Why not? They kicked everyone’s arse with the Switch 1.
