It’s called “reduce, reuse, recycle”

I’ve always thought it was a shame Sony didn’t support the vita more. It was a pretty great device, just not a lot takes advantage of it. If you haven’t played it before Muramasa Rebirth is one of the best exclusives for the Vita.

That being said, I’ve enjoyed being able to play things like Megabonk and Slay the Spire 2 along with things like Metroid Prime Triology and Sunshine all on one device, but it’s definitely not worth it for everyone.

x64 support also still has a way to go. I can get a lot of indie/2D games working, but outside of that it’s very hit or miss.

Yeah, the “new” 3DS is a pretty good retro console, especially if you’ve modded/hacked it.

Depends on what you’re looking for, but in the $450 range you’re probably looking at an android handheld that is probably around the same size (you can find smaller and different form factors).

This one Ayn Thor is a clamshell with a slightly larger battery, but slightly smaller screen. With its chip and x64 emulation you can play a good amount of your steam library, but will probably be limited to indie games or older 3D games.

Sites like Emuready you can check out what other people have been able to get working.

Yeah but for $450 I can buy a lot of different devices that can play all of my switch games and most of my steam library.

Only thing I’m missing out on are a couple switch 2 exclusives.

Just for awareness, Google Translate is based on LLMs. Translation is actually why LLMs were initially made and you won’t find a better method for translation (besides hiring a translator). The thing you’re looking for is an LLM only for translation.

So glad to see it’s not just switch. Looks awesome.

Probably cause it looks like poverty is measured as > $30 per day. Using a set currency is terrible because purchasing power varies so much. For example that’s why there is a thing called the big Mac index. It measures how many big macs can someone on minimum wage earn across countries/regions.

Edit: it does mention that things are inflation and purchasing power adjustmented in the fine print at the bottom.

It used to be a lot better. For the SNES they made a collection of all super Mario games (literally all up to that point) as a single game for the SNES “Super Mario All Stars +”.

I think the biggest issue with the Mario galaxy bundle, is they had released the “3D All stars collection” a couple years back (which got flack for not containing Super Mario Galaxy 2). So if you bought that game, you now have to pay $70 ($100 CAD) just for Galaxy 2 (Making the re-release of the game more expensive than the original).

For that price it’d be nice if it actually could play the games.

I mean, that is one way to make rupees.

Oh yeah, Zelda has a special place in my heart, but tunic just did such an amazing job revealing just enough to keep you hunting for the next step.

If you haven’t loom up some of the speed runs for Tunic. A lot of the game can be skipped simply by knowing what you already need to do, a bit like Outer Wilds.

I think tunic is better than any 2D or 3D Zelda.

I don’t even know why it really needs an explanation. They basically tell you from the start it’s an endless loop of good vs evil.

Every game is it’s own thing/story so there isn’t any baggage and you get to start all over again saving the world.

“But how does it fit into the timeline!?!?!?”

I can’t believe people went so crazy about the timeline shenanigans that nintendo just caved and was like “sure, yeah… Why not.”

That’s fair, I do think there are easier and harder games to hype though.

You’re right that for the GameCube, that’s puts it as the 25th best selling game, but it had 1/5th the sales of Double Dash (while being released in the opposite ordering, Kirby in July and Double Dash in November).

While I agree that Sakurai directing it is a big deal for some, I don’t think the general consumer cares. I suspect that what will make it sell is that there is little competition from the switch 2 perspective.

But time will tell in this case.

Probably cause I’m a bit biased, but also because it’s not really what I would consider a system mover. The original apparently only sold 1.3 million units - https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Kirby.

Also, we’re already getting Mario kart world, so two racers on release just seems odd.

Yeah, but it also had the following by the first holiday season:

• Mario kart
• Arms
• Mario Odyssey

So the switch got a new Zelda and Mario game for the first year, plus a Mario kart. Switch 2 is just getting a new Donkey Kong and Mario Kart (and I guess Metroid Prime 4 although that’s cross platform). And no I don’t count Kirby Air riders as a big game.

That’s fair, given how they’re treating backwards compatibility, it almost feels like they released a switch pro.

However, with a steamdeck I’ve already got a bigger screen with a much larger backlog. That might be a part of my hesitance on the switch 2, almost all of the games coming out are already playable on a mobile system.
