I get the idea of hating console exclusivity, but man, Nintendo Platforms just aren't up to the modern power level of current gen consoles. There's no way they could run something like :insert current Spiderman game here: without either some severe drawbacks, or remaking the game ala the GBA/DS tie in game era.

I mean. Nintendo could be up to scale with current hardware power if they wanted to. it’s not a fact of the universe that Nintendo consoles have to be weak or else the sun will implode. They could change.

No, but it is a fact that if the Switch 2 was a handheld on par with the PS5, it would be too bulky and/or expensive.

I mean. My steam deck is pretty neat and it runs pretty much anything I try to play on it. Yeah it’s heavier and wider than the switch but it’s not that much worse.
The PS5 itself is pretty damn bulky, a portable console on par with it would barely count as portable.

I don't think a Steam Deck is on par specs wise with a PS5, that, and not every game that's on Steam is even compatible with it, the devs have to actually make it so.

If Nintendo wants to keep the portability aspect, sacrifices have to be made, and the portability is honestly one of their strong suits. They're not in the market of making a handheld and a home console anymore, they're a hybrid.


So sure, they could make a home console with current gen specs....



But that would probably kill it being portable.

I haven't played competitive OU Gen 9 in awhile but


Holy **** there's soo many Stall Pokemon in OU right now.
That's why I don't play anymore. It's always stall.

If I wanted to play a forty minute match against a dude who recently discovered he can get away with being racist on the internet, I'd just... actually no, I just wouldn't.

Sounds like you just summed up a game of League of Legends


Or Dota2

console exclusivity should die tbh
We're already there, basically. Xbox has already given up, Playstation is leaning on PC at an exponential rate, and so long as nintendo is behind the curve on power they'll be easily emulated.

as someone who does not like PC gaming, it's dissapointing, but it is what it is. Glory to Steam and the obese old man who owns it.

I could picture Nintendo being like “you can either has games or get graphics and performance with nothing else to it…never both…”

for a short game with multiple ending routes, romance, and a murder mystery, This Bed We Made is a fun as hell indie game

I know Makoto and Futaba are two of the more contentious party members in Persona 5 but so far they're my favorites. From the party that is, i think Takemi and Sojiro are my favorites in the game overall. Also this game made me realize that I'm probably into older women

A 7/10 from Nintendo Life for a story-based game might as well be a perfect score for them, I'm curious about this game now.

Ideally you’d be able to play any game on any system and not just be forced to use steam.
