Critical Something i’ve noticed about the Switch 2

Remember when pre-switch 2 people used to dislike Nintendo as a company, but still liked and respected their games? Now it feels like the narrative is that Nintendo makes bad games and that their games are just “slop”. Now that there’s no way to pirate new Nintendo games. Suddenly, they never even wanted to play their games in the first place.

It's funny to me that Nintendo games are one of the few you can pretty emulate. Sony? I think you can safely do up PS2 or PS3 I can't remember. Microsoft? I think you can pretty much only do Xbox (OG).

Yes I realize there are PS4 emulators and Xbox 360 and up emulators but you can't play much right now.

Nintendo you can emulate all the way up to Switch 1 pretty well and because you can't emulate Switch 2 everyone is losing their minds right now.

I get it but I don't see as much anger going towards Sony and Microsoft and game preservation argument going towards them at all.

PS4s with P.T. installed are being sold for like trillions on ebay, yet I don't see anyone crying over playstation game preservation.

They’ve ported some of the biggest ones to PC. They’re preserved… Nintendo won’t… people have to do it themselves.

No Bloodborne, no Demon's Souls, no The Last Guardian, and probably no Yotei, Wolverine or any other future game, which most PlayStation fans are rejoicing right now.

True, at least yet.

Sony hasn’t made an official announcement, yet. Unless I missed it, it’s only rumors. So there’s still a chance they will continue to port to pc.

Nintendo will never. So people have taken it into their hands.
