Also, don’t forget emulation! It’s an amazing retro gaming device.

Well, switch means easy PC play via Yuzu/Ryujinx!

I just couldn’t get into 16 at all, and this is from someone who loves everything right from the NES up to and including FF13 and 14.

Xenoblade has filled in the gap FF has left for me in many respects.

I played this on my M1 Macbook when I got it a couple of years back. I had a free 6 month trial of apple arcade and it included Fantasian

It was great, and the dioramas they built in real life then 3D scanned make for some really unique looking worlds

Only the Wii generation? You mean, for the past 22 years (as it includes the GameCube).

Me, with a mate a week ago on Resident Evil 5.

In what world would you expect it to NOT be compatible with Switch cartridges?

• Game Boy, Color, Advance - backwards compatible
• GameCube, Wii - backwards compatible
• Wii - Wii U - backwards compatible
• DS - DSi - 3DS - N3DS - backwards compatible

For all their faults, Nintendo have been strong with backwards compatibility for 30+ years, the only exceptions being the SNES (NES backwards compatibility existed initially but was dropped), N64 (fucking complex custom architecture and final cart based console) and Virtual Boy (lol)

This is 7 years now since the launch of the switch. That’s longer than the period between the NES western launch to the SNES 1985-1991, longer than SNES to the N64 (1991-1996), longer than the N64 to the GameCube (1996 - 2001), longer than GameCube to the Wii (2001 - 2006), Wii to Wii U ( 2006 to 2012) and Wii U to Switch (2012 - 2017)

The ONLY exception being the OG Gameboy to GBC, 9 years.

Yes, extremely easy to set up for schools, cheaper than alternatives, and simple to problem solve for teachers.

UK. It’s been absolute fucking shite this summer. Rain, rain and more fucking rain.

Last year was scorching hot to the point of being unbearable. Not this year. It’s fucking pissing it down right now in fact.

EU commission, really. That’s the only way

That would be incredible

Spoken like someone who clearly doesn’t work in finance.

The numpad is essential for my work. You’re not seeing it from the perspective of myself who uses it as a calculator with automatic text entry while producing documents and estimations. That is my job, and it requires the numpad/calculator layout.

The problem is, we are increasingly a minority. The majority of people now see nothing wrong with using default browsers and apps, they see ads as completely normal, they trust Google, tiktok, etc with no issues.

Bear in mind whereas I grew up with what I call the golden age of the internet, late 90s to late 00s, those today know nothing different than the internet as it is now. I’ve tried explaining this to people before - the response is always indifference. Apply that to the countless millions (billions?!) of mainstream users worldwide. It’s sad, but it’s how it is.

I honestly think the only way this is going to be stopped is if and when the EU commission step in.
