switch had horrible physical controlls for retro games. PS vita is way more comfortable if you want handheld retro gaming machine.
Most older games rely on dpad and are designed with that in mind, and dpad is non existant on switch and on lite its cramped and uncomfortable.
On top of that you dont even own the games, you rent them..which is fine, but you cant buy if you wish to, ONLY rent.
So even if i hack switch lite and add bunch of roms and emulators, swirch is still physically uncomfortable to play retro games...even switch games give cramps!
So this is not really a good news for me at least.
Its a shame they wont release all nintendo old games on one or two cartrigges and be done with it. i guess greed in strong in them.

See, it's shit takes like this that excuse bad services. Why are people okay with mediocrity these days?
that's really a question for psychologist and sociologist imo.
Anyone with a degree in psychology and/or sociology here to answer?
I'm actually being serious. i want to know mentality behind that, also i like psychology in general.

If you don’t think the service is worth $20, no one is forcing you to use it.
thats true, no one does force anyone, but its the trend that is the problem. it used to be goods, now its a service, and later it will all be like this.
Im not fine with that. Its the best for company not for gamers who are pashionate about games and collecting. Service should be an option not the main supply chain (but i fear it soon will be with that mentality in general, nothing personal to you, but people will be ok with it, companies will go crazy with it and no more games to buy. it already is. games dont even have manuals, they sell physical boxes with downloadable codes, retro streamable games....and im all for that believe me, i think its a great thing really, its as i always say, lac of options is never a good thing! metroid other m would be better if sakamoto included option for nunchuck, just an option. no one would say a word.)

3DS and Wii U did it better.
Weird how the Switch is the ultimate drip-feed machine for Nintendo now.
in general switch sucks, but it has some good games that are exclusive. i can say many cause many are awailable on pc or other platforms in superior versions, and everione has a pc and a steam (not to mention colossal price drops on steam)
Well anywayswitch is also really uncomfortable to hold, at least lite is, and wiiU wasnt really that good, i mean it was but it had its flaws like black filters etc... i mean they seems unable to just make decent retro machine on their curent console. 3DS was imo the only one that worked good and where you canactually buy games instead of renting, and not waiting month just to get a crappy game...ok wii and wiiU also you can buy them.

Define Retro. The Wii came out in 2006 and the WiiU has its games ported over to the Switch.
style and fashion of the past are 2D games not 3D even if they look old as PSX.
So the way i see it is 2D gaming consoles are retro such as atari, amiga, nes, snes, genesis, game gear etc...
GameCube, PSX, PS2 is a modern, oldER console, not retro one cause 3D is a new fashion, that is still relevant.
now In terms of how 3D games look, old or new, thats a different story.
