I caught up to Jujutsu Kaisen today

I mostly had a good time reading it but I feel like I filtered out some vital information while reading it cause I'm completely lost on how some things work and the characters constantly discussing them like I'm supposed to know it all does not help. At least now I'll hopefully know what to pay attention to when watching the anime

They gotta do something about the hardware dude, the Switch is really starting to look outdated. And it was already underpowered from the jump. I don't need an HD 5K+ 69420 tera-gigaflop power machine, but an upgrade would be nice.

Besides, a new console was always going to come someday. And the start of a new Nintendo system is always an exciting time.

After seeing how Mortal Kombat 1, a game whose devs decided not to port to PS4 and Xbone, performs on a much weaker system than those two? Everyone.

I just don't want to spend the money. Plus there's the very real possibility that it won't be backwards compatible.

All the Pokemon Youtubers, "Shiny hunt Applin NOW before the DLC!"

Or maybe not Shiny Hunt even after the DLC and not waste hours trying to find palette swap versions of the mons you already have with no gameplay differences.

Fair enough. I'm not stoked about having to spend over 400$ by next holiday either, but such is the way of things.

Not a chance.

I won't pretend Nintendo is the savviest company in the world, in fact a lot of the time they're goofballs. But they'd have to be ****in idiots to not make this thing backwards compatible.

They're gonna want to ride the success of the Switch for as long as possible. If people who just got a Switch 2 still have access to the entire Swatch library, they only stand to profit.

Well, we can only hope that backwards compatibility will work anyways. One question that stands to mind is about the online service though. Is something going to change regarding the online service with Switch 2? I hope it doesn't get worse... looks at Playstation

But the switch 2 games come on special lego bricks so the system doesn't even have a cartridge slot! and even if it did the new system has the smell control gimmicks that the old games just wouldn't support! Better to port them again with that functionality added in.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about backwards compatibility, Nintendo's pretty good with that as long as it's a single console generation between.


Wii could play Gamecube
WiiU could play Wii
The handhelds

It's been six years and we're still getting a slow trickle of classic games, we don't even have Gamecube **** yet. If we have to start back from Super Mario Bros and Zelda NES, I'm gonna freak.

What, you don't want a 4th round of Earthbound/SMRPG fans going feral about their cult classic game being added to the service?

Damn, did he already say something about it a while ago? Likely missed it. RIP then I guess, there's a bit of a demand but I had a feeling it's not feasible.


Didn't we have a Direct about SMB Wonder?

Yes but why waste a direct on it, when it could have bolstered what sounds like a very pointless direct coming up.

The old games will simply not use the smell control functions. DS games didn't use 3D on the 3DS. And there's a port on the bottom of the system that accepts old Switch cartridges, like the DS for the GBA.

Even then it's not an arbitrary decision when they drop backwards compatibility for a previous system.

Wii U can't play GameCube games because it didn't launch with support for its controls. The Switch has no room for a disc drive and isn't a dual-screen handheld, so no backwards compatibility whatsoever. Meanwhile I don't see any reason for a Switch 2 to not support backwards compatibility, not even whatever the hell SnakeFighter was just trying to argue.

I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen more leaks for the DLC.


Like, ignoring the fact that the entire dex leaked, there's been a lot of hints about a lot of other stuff, and some people very clearly have the game early, yet they're keeping super quiet.

I don't know man. The dock could have had a disc drive in it or something. There are ways they could have done it.

Also why not have like a CD tray deal in the back?

Production costs, perhaps. Or maybe they felt like it'd make the system a bit too clunky, when it's supposed to be all sleek sand easy take it out on the go.

And seriously, all jokes aside, they probably recognized the monetary gain that'd come from repackaging Wii U games that no one bought.

And you don't think they'll try that again with Switch games?

Depends on if the system is backwards compatible.


If it is, then what's the point.




Only thing I could realistically seem them do is like, re-re-release MK8 with all the DLC on the disc, or a Smash with all the DLC on the disc(Highly doubtful on that one).
