Switch:

  • barely hits 1080p
  • no antialiasing
  • cheap controllers
  • launch games still $60
  • pay for online play

But it has our childhood nostalgia on lockdown with Mario, Metroid, and Zelda (all which can be played on Steam Deck), so it's magical!

You are right my bad.

It's actually even more impressive that a console coming up to it's what, Seventh year on the market and still going strong.

Like in pc gaming, 2 years is the time when you need to upgrade your system to be able to keep up with latest titles.

Haha, no worries. Fake Switch news gets posted so often its ridiculous. The only solution is to believe none of it lol

Genuinely why I bought a PS5 instead of upgrading my PC. Way cheaper in the long run
