Heavy speculation and a lot of “if the console is able to run them well enough.”

I would have cared but they went after Palworld.

You have Mario on steam deck!? Hello, FBI, yes this comment right here.
QuincyPeck@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Now add Master Chief to Smash Bros.

And yet again Waluigi gets passed by again.

I hope it’s all compatible with the old one. I don’t really want to upgrade.
icecreamtaco@lemmy.world 3 months ago
there is no chance any of the major Switch 2 games will run on Switch 1. If switch 1 could run elden ring or FF7R they’d have released those games years ago
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 months ago
If you don’t upgrade, why’s it matter if it’s backwards compatible? Its not like switch 2 games will work on switch.
Kelly@lemmy.world 3 months ago
If two platforms share compatibility then developers can choose to target the weaker system and release on both.
For some games this might involve a bit of compromise and cause resentment with the owners of the more powerful system, but for other (simer) games it might involve any compromise at all.
Either way there are a lot of Switch consoles in the wild and there will be some publisher support for the Switch for a few years yet.
As an example from the other side of the fence ps4 is still getting titles:

Seeing Master Chief rumored to be arriving on switch makes me wish Sony would give Little Big Planet a port on Switch. My Steam Deck can already do LBP on the go (somewhat) but i can’t help but feel like LBP and the Switch would be a perfect match

I literally could not care less. Thanks to their relentless pursuit of emulator developers and fans who mod their games, Nintendo is dead to me. I’ll never understand why they choose to sue their biggest, most dedicated fans into oblivion. It’s pure evil.
icecreamtaco@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I’m not saying they’re doing the right thing but this take is always such an overreaction. Among all the evil in the world today nintendo’s actions are relatively minor and widespread piracy gives them a legit reason for doing it
Psythik@lemmy.world 3 months ago
You don’t think corporate greed is evil? Not as evil as the shit going down in Israel and the current state of US politics (amongst so many other things), but still evil nonetheless.

I could in some ways understand their pursuit of emulators when they’re monetizing those same games currently (even if I disagree with their pricing structure on them). What really got my goat was when they went after Garry’s Mod animations, a medium that has promoted their visibility and never conflicted with their software sales in the slightest.
Maalus@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Emulators are legal. Using a pirated copy of a game isn’t. So they take on the legal part to get to pirates. Which is extremely uncool.

Because Nintendrones will still buy it
sploosh@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Yeah, they’re jerks who happen to produce good games from time to time and build consoles out of parts that are 4 years old at launch.
I believe Nintendo went after Switch emulators because the new Switch shares enough with the original to make it a cake walk to emulate Switch 2 games with better performance.
Psythik@lemmy.world 3 months ago
That’s what pisses me off so much. Instead of releasing a console with decent performance, they rather sue their fans into oblivion, just because they want to run their games @ 4K 120Hz. I wouldn’t need a Switch emulator if their god damn console wasn’t so weak. It can’t even handle 30 FPS in many titles, let alone 120+.
