It's fucked. But it's been fucked for a long time. You just didn't see it until the other day. It's like the foaming at the mouth from rabies. By the time you get that far, it's too late. But that animal bite months ago, and itching and fever were the warning signs, and everybody ignored it.

The PS3 nearly had a controller like that.

It was nicknamed the Banana Controller before they abandoned it.

Makes sense. They need to save some GPUs for the poor crypto farmers and AI speculators.

Don't worry. Trump won. You'll hear a whole lot less about Gaza and genocide now.

Sure, but the whole concept relies on Americans being too wealthy and need to pay more for their stuff. They're lazy and need more work to do.

And with all the poverty about, people working multiple jobs, the gig economy turning minimum wage evasion into "well you chose to do it", I'm surprised that over half the country agreed with the billionaire about that.

I mean the whole point is paying a tariff so American companies make the goods instead for less.

But if paying Chinese poverty wages and tariffs is still less than paying Americans to do it, then guess what they're going to do?

I mean, Nintendo have often been fairly good with back compatibility.

If the architecture and form factor of physical media isn't really changing, there's not a lot of need to block older games from running.

They're already on ARM, and there's not much better for mobile gaming and GPUs have been fairly similar for a long time now.

The more interesting question is: will the Switch games get a performance boost on Switch 2? And it's probably going to depend on the game. I'd imagine they'll test a lot of the more popular titles, and anything with issues just gets it disabled until the developer patches it. It'd be nice to play TotK at a decent frame rate. Impressive as it is, it certainly chugs.

You likely won't get another that isn't a complete sham like they have in Russia
