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!
