the games are great and the voice chat is fun
>CensorshipUnfortunately.>Mid exclusivesThat's just your opinion.>Overpriced gamesThe same thing goes for Microsoft, Sony, 2K Games etc.>Locked down ecosystemThe other consoles too obviously...>boring underwhelming hardwareIn what way? It's less powerful than the other consoles but it tries to be unique and different compared to a PS5 or a modern Xbox console.>Patent trolling and other cancerous legal strongarmingCan't argue with this.I'd say that the appeal of modern Nintendo is, as always, their games and consoles, mostly the games.
fun games. don't care about whatever you're crying about
>>732363452>The same thing goes for Microsoft, Sony, 2K Games etc.The only other company I can think of that basically never lower the price of their games is Activision
>Earn billions of dollars during the switch generation>Waste it all on a museum, theme parks and movies because Nintendo is run by old boomers who fear being remembered for only having done video games
>>732363108All correct pointsI havent owned a nintendo console since SNES. So I got the switch 2 day 1. Its what I have been waiting for, a powerful nintendo console. I got my mario kart, Odyssey and TOTK switch 2 version. All amazing games. I will avoid all this dog shit nintendo is releasing, and patiently wait for the next zelda / mario
>Locked down ecosystemHuh? As opposed to the Open ps5?Oh its one of THOSE thread, carry on schizos

>>732363108>CensorshipIt accepts games steam bans, what is the issue supposed to be here?Are you trying to blame nintendo for retards like adhoc trying to cheap out and using the censored JP PiS5 sku for all switch regions?

>>732365332>reminder the steam controller has literal always online DRM to make it only work properly with the proprietary steam overlay and becomes a generic 360 controller otherwiseI guarantee that a workaround will be found in like a week and Valve won't give a shit. Also the Steam overlay is generally great and I can't see many situations were I don't want to use it outside of heavily modded Skyrim maybe.
>>732365889>Can't wait for the Eric guy to come do his thinghe already posted >>732365248, something he's spammed 60 times in 3 months lol. say something really mean about shitendo and he'll turn on his proxy and start calling everyone mentally ill shit like "eric"

Still buying a Switch 2
>>732365131Because I like owning my media as opposed to digital scamfronts. Hope this helps.
>>732366390>Because I like owning my media as opposed to digital scamfronts. I wouldnt invest in a Switch 2 then, its pretty anti-ownership. Your only real option in current year is GOG and piracy if you want to own your games.
>>732366558You can't own digital games so I'll stick with console ecosystems. I appreciate though.
>What's the appeal of modern Nintendo?To filter retard soicucks for us normals.

>>732365332>reminder the steam controller has literal always online DRM to make it only work properly with the proprietary steam overlay and becomes a generic 360 controller otherwiseGood, it's the future of PC gaming, to be a console, we Vegans should get used to it.
>>732363108You guys keep using that word, Censorship, but I've never seen it be the case.

>>732369642
>>732363205You're defending GameChat of all things? This is trolling, right? The walled garden voice chat(that will require a sub) is the dumbest thing about the console when everything else has free voicechat with cross chatting between Xbox/PS/PC/Mobile.
I'm not even kidding when I say the only good thing they can make is Zelda, and even then it's going to depend on how they play it with the setting in the new game they're teasing. Treehouse has been an insanely toxic influence for the company. Fire Emblem can't even be a fucking game about war anymore. It has to be a fucking power rangers battle tournament in the most boring fucking rendition of a Mediterranean culture I've seen. Nintendo wants to be the child company, and while that's fine and all, back in the 90s people weren't so focused on trying to make their kids into faggots.
>>732363728they're literally building a new game dev building are you retarded?
>>732365993there shouldn't have to be a work around for this LMAO
>>732365332>reminder the steam controller has literal always online DRM to make it only work properly with the proprietary steam overlay and becomes a generic 360 controller otherwiseYou can use Steam offline and add any program to it.
>>732371295why am I still dependent on steam FOR A CONTROLLER ON PC???
>>732371339You mean like the Switch 2 controller needing Steam to function right now? Or PS4 controllers needing DS4 Windows? Or the DS3 needing SCP?
>>>/vp/
>>732371459>Or PS4 controllers needing DS4 Windows? Or the DS3 needing SCP?those are not always online drm like the steam overlay is, you can use it without issues on a completely offline computer
>>732372048>you can use it without issues on a completely offline computer...You can do this on Steam too, anon. You can boot up Steam in offline mode forever and ever.
>>732363108>CensorshipSwitch is not region locked, I can import games, and Nintendo themselves never directly censored dispatch. And it seems it was adhoc who made a mistake with SKU bullshit. Also Steam banned some games too.>Mid exclusivesDonkey kong was literally almost GOTY for 2025, and sony didn't even come close output. They only had death stranding 2 and even then, boring ass movie game. Also, Nintendo unlike everyone has VARIETY. They cover A LOT OF GENRES retard.>Overpriced gamesIdk I use deku deals a lot and you can find a number of nintendo first party titles for a decent price and PHYSICALLY. And OH REALLY? FUCKING XBOX ISN'T OVERPRICED FOR THE "QUALiTY"??? battlepasses don't count to you? MTX? price tiers and other bullshit? oh but a one and done purchase of MKW for 80 IS TOO MUCH???? AFTER ALL THE OTHER BULLSHIT I JUST SAID? >Locked down ecosystemLmao what console isn't? Arcades are pretty locked down yet I don't give a shit. PCMR is completely the missing the point yet again. And LMAO have you seen fucking windows 11 as an OS? >boring underwhelming hardwareUnlike the other consoles, it's trying to be a handheld hybrid which is at least more interesting than boxes that might run games at 4K. Also ITS SWITCH 2. WHAT PART OF "2" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND??? ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT DIFFERENT. Its like calling the GBA boring.>Patent trolling and other cancerous legal strongarmingHow the fuck does this affect me in anyway as a consumer outside of bricking cases? Also maybe fan game developers SHOULD JUST MAKE THEIR OWN FUCKING IP??? Also with patents why can't developers just work around them? Whats so hard about understanding how to make something more different and not just a copy? lmaoWhat's the appeal of modern Nintendo?>Still has cartridges and uses them for games (even though third parties are getting filtered from this)>NOT digital only unlike PS5 whos a step in that direction>Guest account is possible unlike FUCKING XBOX
brownest thread on /v/ right now
>>732372148>>732371339
>>732363108lmao no company is ever perfect dumbass
>>732372223"You can use it online without issues on a completely offline computer", what's the issue? If you're fine with SCP and DS4 Windows it's the same thing. It's actually 1:! for how a Switch 2 controller has to be used on PC right now.Shit, I need a special dongle to even use my 360 controller on PC.
>>732364987As opposed to by far the best gaming platform, PC.

>>732372475lmao have fun with windows 11 I guess
>>732363108Just don't buy it? I'm a lot older now and play less games than before. It's probably the same for you. We are old and jaded while kids probably love the games.
>>732372475Hmmm doesn't look like it. PC is just digital eshops you can't own anything you play and they're full of hackers ruining my experience. Very useful for my SNES roms tho
>>732372475PC is fucking boring today. All you faggots end up playing is pajeet strike 2
>>732363108None. I would even go as far as to say they stopped being good ever since the SNES era and all of their recent successes were just flukes. The N64 turned Nintendies into braindead brand loyalists and the videogame equivalent of Disney adults.
>>732372475Who said I had to use windows?
>>732372189Every NDS seethe thread is the brownest thread on /v/
>>732372475what happened to physical PC games and why did they die so early? And why does everything just spy on me now? Infact, as far as Im aware I don't think the Switch 2 has any spying other than sending a report when it comes to playing online, and of course it doesn't need an account to play offline so LMAO
>>732372616>>732372603Baffling copes, but if like being screwed, you do you
>>732363108>>Locked down ecosystemas opposed to steam drm?
>>732372658Oh really we're just braindead morons? lmao, its crazy how steamies blatantly hype up half life alyx and will not comprehend that its just a VR trend chase game.
>>732372681meant for>>732372545
>>732372764Can you explain to me why someone growing up with consoles is sitting on $$$$$$ of licensed merch while someone growing up on PC has zero licensed merch worth anything and all their money went into the trash? Thanks in advance.
>>732372681Most game companies and game devs unfortunately. You cannot ignore the market share. Though it is nice to see linux make some big advancements in recent times despite the faggotry going on in THOSE development circles.
>>732372741What's happening to physical games on consoles? Difference is, you have absolutely no control over it on consoles. You don't even own the hardware anymore, it's nintendo's to do with as they please, so you best obey them.Nintendo knows everything you do on your switch dude. Where do you think all your year in review data comes from? Better yet, try modifying the hardware and connect online and see what happens.
>>732373124>
>>732373124yeah thats IF you go online though. Switch and Switch 2 can still work fine offline. Infact, I think you can still go online without an account.
>>732372958Linux is unironically better for gaming than windows is at this point unless you only like streambait cancer with kernel level anti-cheats.

>>732373326Seek help
>>732373262Have fun playing pokopia offline.
>>732373124>Nintendo>Nintendo>Nintendo>NintendoWhy can't you ever talk about PlayStation, it's always Nintendo with you dumb faggots like there is some war between Nintendo and Valve instead of it just being their autistic, retarded, closet faggot/tranny fans. I hope we don't start seeing Valve shitters when Microsoft brings out their console/PC hybrid because at that point, I'm really going to start believing the paid Snoy/Xbot shilling story.
>>732373514Thanks I will have fun playing a game you will never be able to play.
>>732373586There's no war inbetween Nintendo and anyoneIt's just Tendies who can't spend a single day without losing their shit for no reason and getting angry at either Sony or ValveIt's one sided, no one gives a shit about them
>>732373586PC vegans enter every thread about consoles to preach their dogma. Open any Sony thread and they're doing the same butndirected at sony. Never trust a PC gamer unless they're an idort like me.
>>732373713>he said in a blatant Nintendo shitpost thread with PC vegans preaching about owning PCs
>>732372932Easy, by not spending anywhere near as much on games to begin with. I spend on average like $2-3 per game on PC as opposed to $40-70 physical on console. I spent 25 years on consoles and all my physical shit is now junk because I actually played the games and didn't just leave some unwrapped mint copy in my closet. The money I saved and invested is worth far more now than any of my old console games that may or may even still work. I also now have entire console libraries on my PC that now play better and didn't cost me a dime.
>>732373586Because I don't give a shit about playstation.
>>732373868There are always obvious bait threads like thatTo just have the retards hitting on each others while others are talking in "real" threads (as real as they can be now)
>>732373586>Why can't you ever talk about PlayStation, it's always Nintendo with you dumb faggots like there is some war between Nintendo and Valve instead of it just being their autistic, retarded, closet faggot/tranny fans. I hope we don't start seeing Valve shitters when Microsoft brings out their console/PC hybrid because at that point, I'm really going to start believing the paid Snoy/Xbot shilling story.I think most here like valve, just insane they get treated like gods when all they have ever done for this industry was launch a fucking store front and all their hardware was shit. Index, steam controller 1 all fucking shit. Deck is good but gets away with shit that nintendo sony or microsoft would get crucified for. Things like verified games being unplayable, bugs, big thick and ugly, no dock in the box etc. Other than that they are cool. Yes its always people talking about nintendo cause they are the only ones putting out fucking games and content.
>>732373586Read your own post back to yourself and realize what you are.
>>732372779>as opposed to steam drm?Yes? Steam isn't perfect but it sure is fucking better than the digital nanny state that is Nintendo online. You don't have to pay to access multiplayer and cloud saves. Way bigger storefront with better sales. Steam Input is the best controller customization available. There are steam forums where you can read about problems and fixes. People can leave written reviews on a game explaining why its good/bad. Again, not perfect. But sure as fuck better than whatever Nintendo has. The only good thing Nintendo made was the Miiverse and they killed it for being too funny.
>>732373876Took you pretty long to come up with that string of lies, grifter. How dishonest of you.
>>732373586The irony of this post is outstanding

Next!
>>732374015Every time I ask a Valve zealot to post their steam libraries sorted by hours played they run an hide. It's fucking weird.
>>732374113You sweet summer child, so clueless about PC.
>>732374265Post your steam library sorted by hours played
>>732373713Sony, I can understand, their a cancer to gaming like Microsoft, I wouldn't give a shit if they weren't doing legitimate damage to gaming. Valve hate is straight up retarded and they should be punched for that one.>>732373764Nintendo has games that are not on PC, why should anyone waste money on a PlayStation if their first-party and third-party games are on Switch and Steam and being optimized for Steam hardware? Why not just get a Steam Machine or get a Steam Deck 2 when that releases since it plays all their worthless shit anyways? Snoys deserve to be shit on for supporting such a scummy company. Don't ever think of yourself as better than Xbots, you spawn from the same flock.>>732373971Maybe you should get a job then, fucking third worlder. You have no say if you refuse to own both a Nintendo console AND a PC.
why do you assume that I don't use steam or some shit? WTF steam is the most used platform on PC LMAO what war is there here exactly?
>>732373437NTA, but I gotta step in here and say that you're calling someone else autistic while shilling for Linux.Think about that for a moment.Pic related, btw.
>>732374351Post your steam library sorted by hours played
>>732374351>I wouldn't give a shit if they weren't doing legitimate damage to gamingLMAO WHAT? Nintendo is their own worst enemy, not for gaming as a whole except for 80 dollar games. Everything else that they fuck up is for themselves but not for everything outside
>>732374046I'm not a Snoy or an Xbot, that's for sure>>732374124Sony and Microsoft damaged the console and PC industry during the 7th and 8th generation of gaming, Snoys and Xbots deserve to have their brains scrambled for supporting these pieces of shit still. You ain't getting old Sony or Microsoft back, there is no need to keep supporting PlayStation and Xbox.
>>732374331I'd post all my libraries in emulation station too but that's less convenient.
>>732363205>the voice chat is funwhat is this, 2006?
>>732374448Yo momma>>732374515What Nintendo does to themselves is for them and them alone, Sony and Microsoft affect eastern and western video games as a whole in both the console and PC markets. Those bastards just can't contain their bullshit like Nintendo and Valve can. It must always spread outward.
>>732374641Hmmm. It doesn't look like any of those games are $2.00. Was there a reason you lied to me earlier?
>>732374718It's a new feature for them, since they didn't buy the Wii U they didn't get to enjoy [NOT SKYPE] so now they're losing their mind on [NOT DISCORD]It's a brand new experience for Nintendo fans; they finally get to do voice chats. 20 years after everyone else, but still
>>732374351I grew up with Nintendo. I refuse Nintendo now out of principle because they're assholes and the quality of their games has cratered and is now routinely mogged by indies.

>>732374970INDIES MOG BECAUSE I LIKE THAT SOMETIMES DO SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS SPECIFICALLY IMPORTANT THAT SOME RANDOM ASS NINTENDO GAME I PICKED IN COMPARISON DIDN'T.

>>732374970lmao you know I can play alot of these indie games on my Switch and even physically??? It's pretty fucking awesome
>>732375002I guarantee you the 2.5k games I have there are most definitely not all on consoles. And why own multiple consoles when I can have them all on one, far more capable and useful device?
>>732373713There is an inherent inferiority complex with Nintendo fanboys. They're like a little Chihuahua that can't stop barking at everything.
>>732375482If I wanted to play mario kart I would just play mario kart. I can do that on pc.
>>732374970I did too, I drop them for a time for PlayStation who treated me like shit and then Xbox who treated me worse, I came back with the Switch, I was on PC until Microsoft fucked it up but came back with the Steam Deck. I kept trying to be positive for years that Sony and Microsoft would get their shit together and return the PS1-PS2 Sony and Xbox 2001-2008 Microsoft but that day never came, so I gave up on them. Nintendo's and Valve's ecosystem currently gives me the vibes that Sony and Microsoft used to give me.

>>732375586I'm sorry I can't comprehend a world where having access to 2415 games I don't like or play is something that would benefit me. Then again I'm a well adjusted adult and not a NEET playing games to avoid growing up.
