I cultivated a large & highly regarded Switch 1 library, all physical games, knowing I'd one day play through them. But now I don't want to anymore, the system has been tainted now that it's tied to the Switch 2, an underpowered piece of shit with a cheap non OLED screen with no games. I genuinely have like 20-30 unopened games, some even imported from japan

The last game I tried playing was that new 2d zelda game where you play as zelda, and it was iphone quality trash. Some day we're gonna find out that nintendo quietly replaced all their workers with Indians and this will all make sense.

Why does this always happen? They didn’t even need an AAA killer app. Just make a Pokémon game with PS4 graphics and 60 FPS. Every time a Console comes out it has No Games EXCEPT Switch 1 and like idk SNES. This shit needs to stop. Like the pinnacle of a console getting Games is PS1 like 5 years into its life. No one ever thinks that a new console should have games.

the Switch 2 has No Games in the same way N64 was retroactively declared to have No Games afaict. I wonder if this rhetoric is stemming from the Sony camp where Games are in abundance and have big budgets, like Concord. You just can't expect Nintendo to compete with that; they must settle for outselling Sony 50:1 in every major market.

It wasn’t retroactive. I’ve poasted the link many times of Next Generation grilling Howard Lincoln in Q1 ‘97 over the lack of Games. Literally one of the best Nintendo release years ever with goldeneye/mario kart/star fox and it still was thought to have No Games.

Bananza and Hades 2 are probably the two best games of the year, and both of them are only available on Switch. (To be fair, Hades 2 is available on PC, but not PS or XBox.) Aside from Mario Kart World and the Galaxy rerelease, you have Kirby Air Raiders and Prime 4 coming out in the next two months. That's actually pretty solid for a console that was only released a few months ago.

I wanted to waste money on something but I am watching a playthrough of this Donkey Kong game and it just looks so shitty. Every 10 seconds a roguelike style menu pops up where you have to pick 1 of 3 passive traits. It's like they just threw in whatever systems are in the "Current Games" without considering whether they belong in a mainline Donkey Kong 3D platformer. And the level design is just so shitty. All of the "worlds" literally look like planets from Solar Eclipse on the Sega Saturn updated to run in high def:

Why doesn’t anyone talk ever acknowledge that games like this are for kids? They’re just like “here’s my Take on bananza in its current State as a middle aged man.” It’s extremely easy and you pound the ground in a way a 6 year old would enjoy.

People knew 25 years ago that Nintendo was kiddie and lame by default but they somehow forgot imo.

Journalists are cowards who are scared of Nintendo fanboys, plus all the momentum from Winning the Gen, so they can do nothing but give it 9-10/10s

So let me get this straight? A bunch of middle aged lawyers who have never even played Bananza are having a discussion about how it is shit? To be fair, I haven't played it, either. But so far this year, excluding rereleases, there are six games with a Metacritic score of 90+: Hades 2, Silksong, Clair Obscur, Blue Prince, Split Fiction, and Bananza. Most critics expect either Clair Obscur or Bananza to win GOTY. Maybe every single one of the 141 critical reviews of Bananza were paid off by Nintendo (or whatever conspiracy you are pushing here). But maybe we should try playing the game before declaring it is shit.

Do u realize just how insanely shitty the ABSOLUTE STATE OF GAMING is when those are the games with the highest scores? That is a complete Joke of a lineup. The only reason any of those games would be at 90%+ is that they're being graded on a law school style curve that Must hand out a certain number of A's regardless of the raw quality of the games. This is the weakest "GOTY" field of all time.

Oh yeah, and it's a "conspiracy" that gaming journalists overrate the games that fund their publications with heavy advertising dollars. Trust Me, I Know These Things LMAO

Yeah, I guess that explains why literally the two highest rated games on Metacritic this year (Hades 2 and Silksong) are created by tiny indie studies with zero advertising budget. If I remember correctly, Silksong was literally created by two dudes working in their respective basements.

Sure, this year is not going to go down in history like 2004, 2007, 2011, or 2023, but it doesn't mean that these games are bad. If you are trying to tell me that Hades 2 is shit, I have to wonder if you even game.

As an aside, when the two highest rated titles on Metacritic are both indie titles, it will be interesting to see if an indie game can finally snag GOTY. If not, I think that is conclusive proof that the Game Awards are in the pocket of the big studios.
