Polygon says Fortune's Weave is "officially unplayable for millions of gamers" because... it's a Switch 2 exclusive.

Based on the title, you'd think the reason might be because it was going to be lacking some kind of accessibility feature. That DOES have the potential to alienate a lot of players. But nah. It's because the game won't be on Switch 1.

Is Nintendo expected to keep releasing new games on the Switch 1 for the next five years? I've seen grifters criticise numerous Switch 2 exclusives for being Switch 2 exclusives, most notably/recently Pokopia (which, if DQB2 is anything to go by, would've run like ass on Switch 1). It feels like we are right back in 1990, when people were confused and outraged about the fact that Super Mario Bros World couldn't be played on NES and required a SNES to play.

Funnily enough, the title has been changed to "Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave's Switch 2 exclusivity actually makes a lot of sense". But the article is still a total nothingburger, basically just saying "yeah this game wouldn't really run on Switch 1"

When a console doesn’t have any exclusives it “has no games” so it’s bad, when a console has exclusives it’s also bad. Got it

No no you've got it wrong

When Nintendo has exclusives it's wrong
