The Nintendo Switch 2 streaming services talk in a nutshell

I obviously don't want this and people like me and you have listed plenty of cons or reasons why it shouldn't happen, but it makes sense why these niche communities exist.

There are certain people who love the architecture of their console. That's even the same reason why homebrew communities exist across every console. Why would someone install an app or fan game or on their SEGA Dreamcast that they can play on their phone, PC, etc. same reason as my first sentence.

The same thing can be said about media fans on retail consoles. The architecture, specs, nostalgia, etc. of the console are quite important to them. Why would someone install an existing app on their Switch 2 that they can play on their phone, PC, etc. same reason as before.

This isn't the same thing as saying console devs are obligated to give you an all in one experience, they aren't obviously, but that's not the point.

There really is no obligation for companies, they don't owe you anything, that's basic information.

The real point is if someone has an opinion that they want streaming stuff on retail consoles, that's completely fair, they can have that opinion.

I think the biggest loss of subspace being the last mode of its kind wasn't the cutscenes, but the 2D platforming

Let's get this out of the way: Subspace Emissary is straight up not the best mode, the cutscenes are a joy but the actual gameplay is a drag and you can't have your favorite fighter with you at all times like in World of Light. I much prefer World of Light because the core gameplay has less of a drag or super slow movement, add on top of the fact that once you find your favorite fighter you actually get to keep them. Just fighting? That's what Smash is about still and it's fun as hell, so I didn't really mark it as that much of a major downgrade, because imo good fighting and poor platforming segments where you can't even choose your favorite fighter are pretty much on par in terms of fun.

It definitely wasn't done the best, but they could have improved on it in later games... if they bothered to try in the first place

I still miss the concept of smash doing platforming segments where you can explore around with your character at all. It's sad that both SSB4s and SSBU increasingly dialed back to the point they're almost gone.

Ult itself just has that fuckass classic mode bonus stage and WoL's final battle now. Smash 4 3DS has Smash Run of course, but Smash 4 Wii U? You have to beat a hard ass Master Quest which I'm not doing, just to have the only platforming segment in that game.

A Smash Bros campaign where you have the same speed as usual and have both platforming and fights sprinkled in, up to 4 player co-op, and a character selector would be the best mode in history, period.

Donkey Kong artwork from Smash 64 - It's not one of the best ones, but the eye placement looks better than the Bananza eyes still.

I really wanna have this take too, but ehh, there's a couple of flaws I wanna fix about 3D World first that I hopefully wanna see get fixed in a future linear 3D Mario game

What I wanna see in a future one:

  • Linearity
  • This time, an actual, full CEL shading aesthetic like the classic 2D Mario games
  • Way more satisfying sound design and effects during interaction
  • The level design, physics, and visual level environments get improved heavily (it's still good in 3D World, but still)

I played Sonic Forces twice, and yet I was fully convinced this was a creepypasta edit when I saw this tweet for a good 3 minutes 😭 HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS (From Stage 16 officially)

The responses in a nutshell: "Whaa?! Corporations hate piracy?! But I thought they had the same mindset as me!"

Theory: People are secretly admitting they want a Mario Movie game tie-in without just saying it outright, because they hate the idea just because it's too uncomfortably different

Nintendo fans thinking that Nintendo is some friendly company, and not a ruthless corporation like Sony and Microsoft kind explains why they are the way they are towards Nintendo.

Nintendo fans joking about DMCA/sues and overpricing more than any other company tells you all you need to know about the point, because it proves Nintendo fans unironically are like "Whaa?! Nintendo can sue?!" And "Whaa?! Nintendo can overprice things?!" Like that's 'Nintendo is my friend' behavior for sure.

The analogy is simple: It's a kid friendly contrast to mature (horrific) decisions. Would you expect a kid who looks innocent to use and shoot a gun? Not at all. Would you expect an adult to use and shoot a gun? More likely, sure.

Microsoft and Sony are already seen as ruthless corporations from the start.

I have not seen a single Nintendo fan say or admit this point to themselves outright without any bias, if they do, someone please reward them.

This is funny, because for the Mario Movie, people get mad when people judge it as a movie instead of a game, but it's the other way around for Mixtape: People praise the game for judging it as a movie.

u/DaZestyProfessor — 12 days ago

As someone who's played M&L:SS Bowser's Minions, Mixtape is probably on the same interaction level. Both are interactive but not as much as other games.

YouTube ads are so funny sometimes man

I got a 3 minute ad where some man speaking outside about how the "U.S. is in danger" and instead of actually talking about it, and it's the most vague posting video ever. "No, it's not this, no, it's not that" "Oh no the horrors" "Oh, I can't post it on my actual YouTube channel because the world would twist the narrative" "go to my super niche website to learn what the issue is"

Scam ass bitches 💀

You have a red button, with a 50/50 chance rate. First chance is you getting every console and game ever for free (In a seperate warehouse) and the second chance is all your consoles are replaced with GS5s (famiclones) and all your games are replaced with GS5 bootleg games. Are you pressing it?

The Switch 2 is a fantastic console and all, however

There may be no real instances of joy con 2 drift yet, but is it technically possible in the future according to tech fanatics who tore apart the stick and saw it was potentiometer?

(no, this isn't a support question, just a hypothetical concern)

What is your most CONTROVERSIAL Switch 2 take? (Hardware focused, not software)

Notices: If the take was already seen before, downvote it, same if it's a cold or average take. If your take is something everyone would obviously agree with, you can still post it but admit it's a cold take.
