OP only got smoke for Playstation. Never smoke for Nintendo. Dudes releasing the same games over repackaged and he talking about respect :mjlol:
Nintendo know how to position it's brand to hold value.

it's always some give and take which I respect.


The limited time run is very smart.


These might end up being like those pre order Zelda collection specials later on down the line.

When you a brand you move different:manny:

People been waiting on a way to play old mario 3d games on the new system for ages.

Tell me how you make a back compat mario 3d collection game on the switch?:ohhh:




But you could definitely have back compat ps1 and 2 games on the ps5 and obviously on the xbox:mjgrin:



Nintendo also handles there products with care... So I don't expect the pal version of mario 64 or some random bad glitch full port.

Shield TV in China. Same chipset as the Switch playing Mario Galaxy officially.

Android emulator playing Mario Sunshine on the Switch


There is no speculation, it's literally running on the Switch.

Now how do I play my physical copy on the switch?

Backwards compatibility isnt a next-gen feature . Want to play a ps4 or ps3 game, buy a ps4 or ps3. :unimpressed:

These people arguing against this are the same ones who sold their previous console to get the latest iteration :mjlol:

Again how am I suppose to play my physical copies?


Digital back compat won't work when there is no legacy to user names an or accounts.
fukk that physical copy :mjlol:

Nah but for real, Nintendo got away with fleecing Switch users for the same damn games. They could've offered some sort of trade in program, even evil $$ony did that for the PSP to Vita in some countries.

I've never complained about Sony rereleasing or remasters of the vita.

I actually slept on the vita goodness so I'm all about those getting remasters or remakes

@Rekkapryde and @Fatboi1 told me that backwards compatibility is impossible due to the complex nature of the ps3 architecture but then admitted that PSnow streams those same games from a pc...so....yeah...Sony is whack for that and is only concerned with trying to recoup that hole in their pocket from their Gaikai purchase.

You can’t convince me to stop hating Sony for this crap. Why can I play Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 on Xbox but can’t on PS4? Stop sticking up for Sony greed. It’s 100% possible to be a fan of a console and hate some of the stuff the company behind it does. I have similar opinions about Apple.
PS3 games continue to pop up on PSN for SALE while the loyal stans told me the whole time that it wasn't possible due to the PS3 cell architecture wizardry long lost with the knowledge of alchemy. And yes, my hypocritical self will be buying the MGS collection to play MGS4 on my PS5, but at least I'm not out here making random baseless excuses for sony to cover the stannery. Someone explain to me why I have to PAY for Fear Effect instead of putting in the disc as an authentication key and getting the download for "free" or the disc for countless other retro games that keep quietly popping up individually on PSN for sale.
