@outworld222: Maybe, but it had some strong games and I liked Mario Maker a lot more on there. I think it was worth it.

I wish 3DS had a true follow up that was more compact and kept the 3D screen and dual screen setup.

Hopefully the Switch 2 won't have the same problem with me as the Switch at least where it was ports for the first 4 years, and poor quality 3rd party games that are late and more expensive.

@outworld222: Yup. I experienced a lot of the Switch with the Wii U so it didn't hit the same for me, and the third party games on there just aren't as good as the 3rd party games on 3DS.

Not sure why the Switch did better, maybe because there was no other Nintendo system and they consolidated their TV and portable audience.

I like the 3DS more personally. There were more games made specifically for the platform that used its strengths, there was StreetPass which was a cool idea that is missing from Switch, access to the great DS library, and I like the 3D screen.

@TheEroica: I hope they (and all other consoles and digital storefronts) will adopt family sharing of digital games the way Valve is doing it

Family Sharing enables up to 5 family members to play games from other family members' libraries, even if they are online playing another game.

This thread is becoming a bit narrative focused 😒

Sorry for letting everyone down

Does this sound good to you? Will this type of game fit well with the Xbox player base? When do you think a new studio will bear fruit? Would you rather have kept some of the studios that were closed?

The game credits sound good to me and I will be looking forward to hearing about their projects.

Considering PS+ was supposed to get classic games on the top tier, it's about time.

A lot of games from that era already have remastered versions but not all of them do.

I have an OG PS2 and games, but making them available to a new generation in an official way seems like a good idea.

If the PS2 games that people purchased on PSN don't carry over and if you can't play original discs then that will be a mistake, but some PS2 games were on CDs and not DVDs so maybe it won't be possible due to the hardware.

@Zero_epyon: Those are interesting to read...

I guess it could be argued that it was "only 4 games at the time" and they didn't say anything definitive. But Phil did leave the door open for more, so it is possible.

Either way it seems like there aren't many complaints if it were to continue. Maybe some youtubers will threaten to close their channel but who cares.
