You never fail to impress me.you turned your answer into a nintendo diatribe,bravo!
eye, but it is true, how many times did they recycle the GB and then when other portible devices came, they milked the GBA until sony came along with the PSP (almost like a PS2) then what do they do, something similar to PS1 quality with a gimmick to make it seem better, then ends up littered with cheap crappy apps that our smart devices were getting better quality and for free.
seems a repetetive pattern since they realised adding gimmicks to cheap inferior hardware prints money, so thats all they care about these days.
back when I used to be a fan of nintendo hardware, was when they used to actually compete with rival systems, and actually be the better console with superior versions of said games.
these days you have to wait for them to release their next gen in order to play games from the past generations, the switch even worse for been a port whore, even nintendo cant be bothered with all the wii u ports and look at them now promoting BOTW on what is thought to be their next gen hardware, running all the improvements we already have thanks to the community making emulators, which nintendo despise.
why?
because the community care more about making improvements to these games than nintendo do themselves, proven multiple times that given the hardware then devs can achieve more, but nintndo deliberately restrain devs with inferior hardware so that they cannot release their current new AAA titles, and nintendo's usual recycled titles dont even require much hardware to run, notice how graphically nintendo titles don't look much better than what they did on the game cube.
which even that, using emulation can look far better than what the switch itself can do, nintendo's very own N64 emulator is a pile of crap, while the community have had multiple near to perfect N64 emulators.
keep your eyes peeled as nintendo will announce very soon its next hardware subpar to the PS4/XBX1 with a deal with Unreal to have a mobile (washed down) version of U5, in which itll take advantage of its limited features for Switch games and may add a little polish to its next consoles titles, but its hardware again will be limited and prevent devs from making its current AAA titles that are multi platform, available on the next console (unless it is ported with inferior settings).
and no doubt itll have some form of gimmick, maybe copying off the likes of SteamDeck and other devices like that, with another docking hub for it to connect to and play games on the big screen.
Id hope to god nintendo dont stick with cart based media as that again like the switch will become very costly for devs and will either become DLC keys for games and the customer is forced to pay for exspensive media to store these games to.
The hub hopefully will come with a BD drive for its next gen games to play and if they put money up front for the hardware, then allow it to stream to the deck via wifi (to and from) and if they actually catch up with modern times, then allow the device to use wifi or 5g to link to your account and have cloud gaming on the go.
lets hope this comes part of its service and not continue to only provide all these crap retro titles as a so called premium paid for service.
but fanboys love to disagree, yet i have never been wrong since they started been cheap arses.
