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

Might be worth trying with a screenshot of the intro of Xenoblade - it’s a pure white background for a lot of it.

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.

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.

He’s a cunt just like Johnson was a cunt and I’d have the same opinion if I were fucking blind. Skin colour means shit.

Half of every morning meeting is trying to work out wtf is happening with teams in my experience.

A frequent occurrence is when it, without warning, changes your text to right-to-left Arabic layout, so every now and again you get a message from a colleague that reads like they’re trapped in the black lodge

I also had a moment yesterday when pop up messages took over almost my entire screen and I had to force quit teams. If anyone used to get pop up spammed back on MSN Messenger twenty years back it was just like that.

Teams is absolute fucking shite.

Fuck. It could be Wario Land or Donkey Kong Country 2 (a bit later, 1996?) for me. Been playing them almost constantly since 1994 along with Mario 1-3. This gets even more fucked when you throw in all the ports, randomizers etc.

For actual hard numbers (roughly), it’s Xenoblade for me.

1. Played once on the Wii when it came out here in the UK in 2011. 107hrs.
2. Played it again through on the Wii. This was around the same, savefile says 142 hrs.
3. Played through it on Dolphin. Probably 80hrs or so, I don’t have the numbers on this. Throw another 100 hours on.
4. Played through it to 100% on the New 3DS port, twice. This was probably another 200+ hrs.
5. Definitive edition. Played through once on the Switch to 100% (this took 97 hrs) then twice again on Yuzu in 4k. 150 hrs so far on Yuzu (just got to Valak Mountain in this current playthrough)

Don’t even get me started on X, 2 and 3. but well worth it.

Dude, it literally took me two clicks from this post to get this:
