They put better Genesis games on NSO than Nintendo games

Please be true!

Please be true and make this the standard going forward, I have no idea why Nintendo has the stance towards game preservation that they do

most of their recent consoles and handhelds had backwards compat, switch is the outlier but that’s because the architecture changed, from discs to cartridge games, etc.

N64 was the last library they abandoned, which made sense because they went from cartridges to discs with GameCube so it would’ve been hard to make n64 cartridges work with that console

Agreed

Fair point for sure - physical hardware is one thing, but as robust as the VC was for the wii/wiiU I’m really surprised they didn’t adopt the same philosophy for the switch. Regardless I’m thankful, this is great information. Switch has such a massive base that it would’ve been foolish not to tbh

yeah you’re right, it feels like they abandoned VC on purpose so they could add that content to nso instead, get more money out of us :/

Straight from Nintendo president so it’s gotta be true

I’m shocked everyone is acting like this is new news when we already knew that our account is staying with us for next gen

Im more shocked some people seemingly forgot Nintendo has been doing backwards compatibility for longer than the other 2 and will always pursue it unless its impossible. They literally castrated the Wii U to make it BC

I'm not up-to-date with Nintendo stuff... Well not always. But that's good to know... I am glad that when the next NS or whatever it's going to be from Nintendo is out in 2024 or 2025 so will I be able to play all of the current Nintendo Switch games

Switch 2 will be console of the life

Can’t even imagine what next-gen Zelda and 3d Mario will be like

Leaks already indicated that, maybe a bit better too thanks to newer gpus and maybe slightly more ram

and DLSS/FSR

Yeah that too potentially. Its gon be good, it just needs to be acknowledged by Nintendo lol

Pro

Oh yeah, definitely not tryna talk s*** to you. You a real one

I had seen so many on Twitter act like this was brand new information when it wasn’t

People want the next gen Switch to be the Steamdeck and the ROG Ally but those console have really strong negatives to them

Too bulky. S*** definitely looks like a prototype they brought to market. Worse battery then Switch

The Switch looks and feels better then Steamdeck and ROG Ally no question about it

People give Nintendo a lotta s*** for the Switch being under powered but the system has shown it can handle plenty for being so “old”

Next gen Switch will be something special for sure.

Kotick doesnt know s*** btw, but still that assessment isnt really wrong

This switch would be the same or even slightly better than the steam deck so those people should have no problem with that

Well we’re talking about a future console, obviously every year the tech can get slimmer and more power efficient

Steam deck was revealed in 2021, a 2024 Nintendo console could easily do the power of the steam deck but in a smaller, lighter package with better battery life

Not to mention they have lots of experience after building 3 different switches, steam deck was valves first handheld

ABCD/EFG

If the next Switch has the power of a regular PS4 I'll be satisfied. In the few months I had a PS4 there was a clear difference between what it was capable of compared to my Switch in terms of graphics/performance.
