    "Nintendo focuses more on creating an experience that can't be easy recreated on a PC or other consoles".
    And I think this is one if their best marketing schemes. PC gaming has console emulation touted as a bonus, but if Nintendo over complicates their consoles, you won't really be able to emulate their games very well, as some functions won't be able to be emulated.

      What lego said is actually legal (in the USA, at least). If you actually own a copy of the game, you are legally allowed to emulate said game as long as you aren't running more instances than you own copies of the game. It's even more legal if you're one of the few who has a drive that can actually recognize the game disks, too.

The only exception is the SNES and that's only because it had 2 years more of development time than the Megadrive. If we look at Nintendo handhelds, they've also always been weaker.

    Nintendo is the only company making actual gaming consoles. Sony and Microsoft make locked down, under-powered PCs with limited interfaces. There is a big difference. Nintendo is also solely a gaming company, and they continue to push the envelope in a way that creates unique, fun, and memorable games with experiences optimized for their consoles. Sony and Microsoft not only don't do that, they can't, its antithetical to their business model. They can't risk too much innovation when their gaming departments barely scrape by and they lose money on every console they build. In addition to owning 2 gaming PCs, a PS3, and an Xbox One, I will continue to purchase every Nintendo console, as I have in the past, to support this company, because Nintendo is still the owner of some of my favorite games and gaming experiences of all time. Just look at Breath of the Wild. Right on Nintendo! Keep doing your shit, because nobody else can.

      Games are locked at certain settings anyway. If a game normally runs at 30fps, it’s probably locked, so even with a core, you will not get more than 30fps. The only difference will be in games with adaptive resolution, like odyssey, where the game would never dip below 1080p because of it. Technically, however, a core on a switch is impossible because the USB-C port on the switch does not have thunderbolt capabilities.

    Well even though I am a hardcore PC gamer, I bought a switch because it just makes sense! Nintendo is so exclusive on their titles that it's worth it having it instead of buying a PS4 or Xbox which blurred their exclusivity line. They do what a pc can but shittier lol I'm in love with the switch so far.
    Another point that I liked about the switch is that Nintendo left all the social media crap that some handheld consoles have like a front camera , it's just a pure gaming console

      @leonro Před 6 lety +6

      Jeff T There's a difference between getting better technology that can allow many new things to be used (such as 3D polygons or post processing effects) and the difference between normal and ultra graphics on a PC. You can notice a difference when comparing side by side, but it's not as striking. The Switch is powerful enough to make good looking games. You don't really need to have every object shiny and with millions of polygons to get a great looking game. There's not that much to improve nowadays. Some PS3 or Xbox 360 games look good enough to be mistaken with nowadays games.
      Also, many play CS:GO and other games because you can run them on any potato, even PCs from schools. Not many people have high-end PCs and play these types of games on their laptops. Anyways, the difference between graphics from 5 years ago and now aren't as striking as that of, say, games from 1999 and 2004 or 2004 and 2009.

      correction* 1080p display, most games are not native 1080p on mobile. and, they're mobile games... it's a massive difference. want a really good fps game? just not available on mobile. they'll all have worse ai, controlls (even with wireless controllers) worse levels. gameplay events and so on. than a ps2 often.

      ctg osu the paid online is only for the switch like how psplus multiplayer is only for the ps4.
      Nintendo is still the best, and forever will be, the best game console ever with much more exclusives that are definitely better than the pc

      ctg osu But hey, at least Nintendo uses the money to *host their own game servers* unlike mhm... some companies. That's the reason I feel the payment is justified. And it's not gonna be much, rumors say it's under $2 a month.

      Uh, Blue Behemoth? Statistically speaking (i.e. looking at sales and such) you're kind of bloody dead wrong.
