It would be too bad to lose the backwards compatibility for all those special edition Joycons. Not that I expect them to, though it would be within Nintendo’s track record.
well the rumor at the moment is that the new console will be backwards compatible with the old joycons. they won’t attach to the new console, but you will still be able to connect and play with old joycons.
Oh I definitely will figured the Bluetooth would connect still, so pro controllers are fine. I was more thinking of the physical connection aspect since playing in bed is a little awkward with the removed Joycons and the kickstand set. Still nice though, especially if you have one of those mounted tablet stands.
I’m just thinking of all the LoZ and Animal Crossing Joycons that will now be relegated to the sheathe holder and a docking charger (or one of the fancy ones with USB to charge)
That’s fair! I mean I have Animal Crossing ones, and they’re not really that special, just unique colors. Other thing to consider is stick drift - if you’ve had your special edition Joycons for awhile, they may be on their way out pretty soon…
Yeah definitely lol. I got very lucky, my near-launch day switch joycon sets I got only has one left joycon that started drifting last year. I have no idea how they lasted that long cause I used all my controllers pretty heavily.
Now they sit on the charging dock next to the switch, next to the Steam Deck that actually gets used… Lol
so far all we have is rumors, but i think the stuff i read said that they would be theoretically stronger than the plastic rails, at least from forces from specific angles. They’re supposed to use this new kind of electromagnet tech where it only needs a small burst of energy to activate or deactivate the magnet. Time will tell if Nintendo can actually pull that off, but it sure would be neat!
I dunno, I’ve played with magnets that have the ability to pull their way through my hand before, so it’ll all come down to implementation. Sounds more reliable than some plastic.
I’d already left a couple of reviews on re5 and re revelations expressing my discontent. But otherwise there are more older collections that actually have that drm applied.
All other game developers in the history of games have understood the concept of making the lowest-powered device you’re launching on the baseline for development. We’ve dealt with crippled titles on more powerful consoles for ages, I’m sure Larian’ll figure it out for their next game.
Why should they compromise because Microsoft demanded feature parity between their two consoles? They even had Microsoft engineers try and couldn’t get it to work with splitscreen on the S. If Microsoft wanted the S treated the same as the X they should have included more RAM. Games shouldn’t be held back because Microsoft released a console that’s between generations.
Debit cards use the same PCI DSS backend, which is owned by Visa and Mastercard, both of which were created by banks (I think BofA made Visa)
“ePayment” systems like PayPal, Cashapp, Zelle, etc rely on the same backend, or also publicly owned by several major banks.
Direct bank wire transfers still have a useless transfer fee for literally no reason. I think maybe echecks don’t, but they expose your full bank account numbers (for no good reason), and they’re still controlled by the bank, and they don’t offer it as a solution for rapid payments.
Bitcoin technically solved this problem except the supply system wasn’t designed for stability, so the value is way too volatile. Even though there are better crypto currencies that have solved this problem like XRP, the blockchain hype train crashed so a ton of vendors don’t accept crypto anymore even though they used to (including Steam).
This entire system is nothing but a highly organized and legalized fraudulent scam to ensure banks can rip off vendors and consumers with transaction fees and debt.
The only thing that bypasses this system at the moment is using physical cash, which doesn’t work online.
FedNow is an option within the USA that uses a government-provided system to cheaply transfer money, and a number of banks have signed on. It’s not in use because it’s not as universally available yet.
AAA devs are finding out there’s no such thing as infinite money doesn’t mean there are no good games. Look around and you might just realize they’re actually the least interesting content out there. There are more games coming out per/day than at any other point in history. Take some initiative and you’ll find something great.
I’m fine with a different studio doing every Baldur’s Gate iteration. Bioware, Beamdog, Black Isle, and others have done Baldurs Gate games and I enjoyed them. I see no reason to tether the franchise to a single developer, particularly one whose heart isn’t in it anymore.
