I feel like a lot of times when devs say that, they never end up doing it in the end. Anything short of an explicit yes ends up being a no.

Even if/when Switch 2 emulation is possible, there’s not a chance in hell it could run on Deck hardware.
Both systems have pros and cons. This article isn’t bashing on the Steam Deck at all, just making the case for what the Switch 2 has going for it.
They say up front that this article is a response to the frankly obnoxious amount of “my gaming platform can beat up your gaming platform” circlejerking that has been going around - which you’re kinda perpetuating.
The Deck does not “obliterate” the Switch 2, and a headline like that makes you part of the problem.
They can’t renege on deals they’ve already signed with retailers.
JP Switches will only play Japanese-language games. So for non-Japanese-speaking consumers, that will be a problem.
They’ve never promised that, because that would be an absurd promise to make. This is no different from Valve dropping support for older versions of Windows, which they have also done.
Of course there’s going to be one eventually, but if they’re implying it’s coming very soon that actually raises questions. Donkey Kong Bananza looks to have been developed by the team that did Odyssey, so if a 3D Mario was being developed in parallel, I’m curious who was on that project.
I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus two years ago and liked it so much I wish I’d bought a more expensive model with analog sticks. I keep looking at all the shiny new stuff on the market and feeling the temptation to upgrade, but holding off because something better is always around the corner.
Well, guess I no longer have to worry about temptation now.
Fighting games
Arcade/versus puzzle games (but the genre as a whole is dead on every platform, not just Linux)
JRPGs
Rhythm games
I’ve sadly found myself lamenting the fact that a lot of my favorite genres are tragically underrepresented on Linux. I still gotta keep my Switch, and buy a Switch 2, for some of those games.
Is this a law that specifically only applies to AAAs, or are we just shutting down literally all of indie gaming? If the former, how do you legally draw the line between who is and isn’t allowed to release digital-only titles? Even just basing it on the size of the company would effectively mean that large publishers may only release large projects and never smaller budget titles.
It really just seems to me like you want to argue, but I’m not sure why you chose me to argue with. All I said was that they can’t raise or drop the price of the console, and I dunno why that’s the comment that set you off.
I said that they can’t drop the price of the console and they can’t raise the price of the console either. What does this have to do with what I said?
I think that you’re doing that annoying internet argument thing, because you’re not actually replying to what I said here.
We’re talking about the console.
Given the outcry over the price, I think they have no choice but to eat the loss. They can’t drop the price, but they can’t raise it either. They’ll just have to hope that they can bring down manufacturing costs over time.
Very unlikely that they even could drop the price with the tariff situation.
I may be stretching the definition of cancelled a bit because we don’t know if it was ever in development to begin with, but I will forever have a chip on my shoulder about Puyo Puyo 30th Anniversary.
The three best games in the series were Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary (2006), Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary (2011), and Puyo Puyo Chronicle (2016, this game is 25th in all but name). None of these games were released outside of Japan, but after Puyo Puyo Tetris’s Switch port got localized in 2017 and sold really well, fans had high hopes that the pattern would continue and the next one of these would get localized too.
The pattern did not continue. Instead, Sega responded to PPT selling well by making Puyo Puyo Tetris 2. It’s literally the exact same as the first game, only much buggier. It’s a terrible game and I hate it.
To this day, we still have not gotten a proper mainline game. In fact, Sega just announced they’re rereleasing Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S as a Switch 2 launch title. This is all the series will ever be from now on.
Sounds like that is what they’re doing

I loved the original and Second, but I played the demo for II and it did not click with me at all. I really disliked the change to how turn order worked, the original system dovetailed so much better with the titular Brave/Default mechanic.
