Switch 2: Dual Screen Gaming Comeback
The New Super Nintendo Switch 2, or whatever they call it, has the potential to bring all of Nintendo's greatest games and craziest gimmicks back to the modern gamer. Do kids these days want to play those old games? Not really. But kids don't have money - I do! Well, I did, before buying a house and having a kid, but I still want to give Nintendo what little I have left! I'll buy Nintendo Land again, I swear, despite owning two Wii U consoles.
With all the Nintendo leaks lately, I can't stop thinking about it. No one is talking about what the new controllers will be like, and I doubt they're going to blow us away, but I can dream. The leaks suggest it will still be a portable console with a TV mode, and it will have some decent resolution scaling technology like DLSS. But could it work in dual screen mode? Could pointer controls make a return? Where are the official, unique retro JoyCons?
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are AWKWARD without the N64 C-buttons. GameCube games were designed around the unique face buttons and triggers of the GameCube controller. Instead of retro controllers for sale like they have now, make them JoyCon style and include a little middle piece for connecting them during TV play.
I miss the sensor bar. I miss what made the Wii U great.

Chrono Trigger is the first game I ever owned for the Super Nintendo. I bought it when I was 9 years old, and it was my only game for a long time... and that was a mistake.

The Little Better Nintendo Switch, More Likely than Switch Pro
Переглядів 1073 роки тому
If you look back through Nintendo's handheld console history, it makes the possibility that we're about to see a "Switch Pro" seem pretty unlikely. After only 4 years on the market and a massive success, Nintendo isn't about to shut out current Switch owners by releasing a drastically improved New Nintendo Switch Pro. A little upgrade is coming, with new features to make Switch owners think abo...

    I only feel bad about games in my back log because I paid for them. I can't stand throwing money in the bin. I think it's very important to exactly know your own taste and don't let reviews and ads tempt you to buy (objectively good) games you actually don't like subjectively.

    Exactly what I want from the Switch 2. Reversed dual screen gameplay with a receiver on the dock, and a sensor bar on the dock for pointer (using the gyro is terrible and kills the imersion on gaming with the need to recalibrate the pointer to the center of the screen all the time), with every joycon having a IR sensor. This alone would allow all kind of games the WiiU had possible on the Switch 2. It would also allow Nintendo Land to come back, and more possibilities in games. Things that were never properly appreciated on the WiiU because it sold so little would finally achive the masses with the success of the Switch 2 system. I would also add a frontal and back camera, and a mic. I understand what you said about the benefits of no-dock, but I dont think this is even a possibility. Its part of the experience to insert the system on the dock, and its also a charge station. Without a dock you would not have the other things you required, so it would be conflicting with the previous ideas of using the dock as sensor bar, to charge... they wouldnt add a sensor bar on it just to you ignore the possibility of taking the system to another house to play on tv and not show the motion based games because you let the dock in your house. If you want to show it on tv, you will need to show the "switch" magic happening when you just plug it on the dock. But I totally agree about the dock being small, similar to the one that comes with the WiiU.

    i think nintendo should make just a new home console and make the switch a handheld device as the switch lite is just handheld mode without the dock. so make a new home console that could play bluray discs and have at least 1080p resolution. and treat the switch as a handheld market. so that way they still support the switch and make money off of both consoles

    • @essarell-media
      @essarell-media Рік тому

      They would need to split their studios up again, though, so we’d get fewer games on each platform. If the resolution tricks of DLSS work some magic, the next system could have some really nice looking stuff, even on mobile hardware.

    My backlog went down from 200 to 110 this year. Been avoiding 100% (if I do not feel that the game is one of the best I have ever played) and left some midway if I disliked them. (Got lots of them from bundles as secondary, but if I might give it a chance, it is in my backlog)

    I have around 2000 games of which 1400 are on a backlog. Adding up the playtimes I will never finish the list unless they develop science that prolongs life, so, I have thrown away the list and am tackling this differently, that I decided about a year ago and it seems to work for me. I look at my games, and choose a top 10 that I am currently into (moods change, sometimes it's guns, sometimes it's dragons). Then I prioritise those and try to complete them. If it takes too long or I lose interest I remove the ones I don't want to play in that set, back into the pool and then fill up my set up to 10 games again, sort of like game-poker-hand, always have 10 in your hand. And so on.

I will only play what I want to right now, pick the ones that appeal to me, cut my losses and move on. There will always be newer games <- my new motto.

  • @zergtoss1
    @zergtoss1 Рік тому

    Avoid completionism it leads to grinding. Avoid live services especially those with season passes that reinforce feedback loops. Avoid multiplayer games except for non grindy coop games. Mp games reinforce dopamine highs heavily and rob you of some really genuine gaming experiences. I spent many many many years in multiplayer. Had some great shining moments in some tight matches but 99 percent of the time was brutally stomping others and when I look back on it yea it felt good but I missed some great experiences otherwise. Never buy games. Trick yourself into thinking if it is digital you already own it and it is in your library. Tell yourself I own the entire steam library or gog library or whatever and that I only have/need to pay money toward a game when I want to play it. The golden exception to never buying games is purchasing them before licenses are removed and/or are being removed permanently from digital stores. Oh and the other exception is multiplayer games but that is merely because eventually the community dies and if you don’t get in early you really miss out…. this rule shouldn’t apply cuz in general you will avoid multiplayer games unless you can team with friends and even then it is iffy. These are my personal rules anyway. My other rule is I can’t spend more than 2 evenings on a game that I am not getting into. Unfinished games are okay if you don’t like them and automatically go to my “trash tier” or “do not enjoy” list on steam or excel.

    My daughter makes fun of my backlog (about 80 games between Steam and the Quest), so I'm relieved to stumble upon this proof I'm not weird (at least in that way). I've been trying to devise a formula to combine various factors (how much I've already played, predicted length from HowLongToBeat, initial excitement to buy, current excitement at the thought of playing, whether it's a sequel or has sequels) so that a spreadsheet will tell me what to play, and my mind can be clear to actually start playing. I'm also going to split my week, 3 days for the open-ended games I normally play that have caused the backlog, and 4 days for backlog items. So tomorrow I start What Remains of Edith Finch, which looks both interesting and short. Wish me luck!

      Good luck! I’ve had to rethink the concept of backlog since my daughter was born last year. Never enough time!

    The Tales of Games are very good at creeping into the backlog, and charging interest for the amount of content the earlier games have. I was sure Star Ocean 3 was going to be it when I played it. I am late getting into the tales of Games. Btw, Daddy Rowen as I call him, kept me playing through Xillia. I also like characters that can wield blades and cast magic, coming from Terra Branford from FFVI. There is also that long grind just before final bosses, which contributes to the backlog...

    I've been learning a lot from these video breakdowns re: game backlogs and a lot is psychological. I think a big step is realizing it might not be necessary (or possible) to play every game that could potentially be on your backlog. Another is realizing you don't have to have a game on your backlog if you have no intention/desire of playing it (even if you bought it and haven't played it). And yet another is that even having a backlog is a privilege.
