IMO Nintendo is much like Apple in that the hardware is less powerful than the competition, but what they do well is the software optimization. I mean it runs MK11 beautifully. Should that even be possible? lol

That being said...their hardware improvements from one gen to the next hasn't been remarkable since SNES to N64. I don't expect the Switch 2 hardware to be a huge jump, but we'll see.

I know that one just came out, and admittedly I have not played it. And will not. Friend told me about the super-excessive DLC. Get a character through DLC, great. Oh, but now you need to pay more JUST TO GET THE CHARACTER'S VOICE-OVERS? Holy frick. No thanks, WB.

So while I purchased it months ago I never really got into it until this weekend, Dead Cells with the Castlevaina DLC. Took a few attempts to finally realize and get the gist of the game flow, but it has its hooks in me now. Must collect all the cells!

Nintendo never discounts. If you want a system cheap gotta buy used.

It's all about the backwards compat. If it comes out and it's not, I'll buy a Switch OLED for the long haul. If it is, I'll buy as close to launch as possible and hope that some of my games that remain unplayed because of my perceived performance issues (Astral Chain) will get some sort of FPS boost mode or something.
 
Who cares, BOTW is a 2017 title that in hindsight wasn't even that good. The sequel sucked.

I can't believe they are touting this as some selling point.

"Buy our new console to play an 8 year old 2017 Switch launch title upscaled!"

I could play through BotW again and thoroughly enjoy it. I'm not particularly worried about Nintendo having a killer app at launch because they'll have plenty of great games over the life of the console that I can't get on PC.
