       I'm legit curious if given another year or two the Switch could take the number one spot.RT: https://pleroma.nobodyhasthe.biz/objects/fd181d6f-8f71-43d0-8b82-968ecc9d257f

       @Jim @natsock I remember someone who said the Switch would be a failure.

       @Jim The smartest way to go about it is to keep the Switch Lite around after the Switch 2 launch and make minor releases cross-gen for a couple years at least.

       @Jim @natsock I still love my Switch. Yeah, the hardware is old and underpowered, but the games are great. I cannot go back to a non-handheld system ever again. So great to play the Switch in bed, couch, wherever. For me, it proves you don't need top of the line graphics to have fun.

       @Jim @natsock When has Nintendo released a system that did not have a 'clean break' with it's previous systems library ?

       @Jim @natsock Are the games that good on Switch? Or is it just the hype/prestige and global market size that's increased sales? I mean I've used Yuzu to play a couple Switch titles, but quite a few games are just... boring for my tastes. Nothing as entertaining as some PS2 titles; no offence Switch bros. Maybe I'm just an nostalgia hungry Indiefag now.

       @Dutch_Roberts @natsock It actually has a pretty varied library especially when you count overseas titles that can be played since nothing is region locked.  Super robot wars, fatal frame series, disgaea games, bayonette games, no more heroes games, tons of jrpgs, shmups, indie titles.  I'd say behind the PS1 and PS2 the switch library of titles is my favorite due to the mixture of what you can find if you look.

       @Jim @natsock I think it's incredibly possible. If a new DK, F-Zero, or Starfox were to come out in the next year, I think that alone would do the trick.

       I thought the switch was going to be a dogshit gimmick like the Wii and slept on it until corona. Sure wish I didn't. It has an amazing catalog and the TV to grab and go gimmick is legit great.

       @Jim @Stoonk @dalcello @natsock What nintendo needs to do is cheat and just call it the switch, but be like, "it's the switch pro edition" running all original switch games at 1080p 60fps.

       @Jim @natsock Generation-dominating consoles don't suddenly stop selling even after the successor is out, so unless Nintendo straight up stops making Switches it should overtake the PS2 eventually and rightfully purge Soyny from gaming history.

       @Stoonk @natsock @FargleLarkTheSecond @GatorTime @Jim @dalcello Not really, the Wii U got plenty of notable exclusives for such a poorly selling console, it was certainly no Vita. Most big Nintendo franchises were represented on the Wii U with mainline entries. It was probably always intended as something of a transition console, so I don't think its failure (and that thing truly was dead in the water, it eventually became clear that NOTHING could save it) rushed the Switch's release *that* much.

       I wonder the degree to which the Animal Crossing release, just as everyone was getting locked home, pushed sales–whether that snowballed (as friends within friend circles got Switches) from that extra nudge–or whether this was the trajectory anyway.

       @Edge @natsock @FargleLarkTheSecond @GatorTime @Jim @Stoonk @dalcello Given how well the Wii had sold, I understand why Nintendo didn't want to drop that brand. Had it just been called Wii 2 I'm sure it would have done at least somewhat better.However, Nintendo was definitely way slow on realizing that the Casual fad was dead with console gamers. Thankfully, the Switch's success has been built on far more solid foundations, though they still push some stupid bullshit like 1-2 Switch and Labo.

       @Stoonk @natsock @FargleLarkTheSecond @GatorTime @Jim @dalcello Mario 3D World is a mainline 3D Mario platformer, it might be less exciting than Odyssey or a Galaxy 3, but it's legit, and a way better game than 64 or Sunshine.Not porting the Wii U games would have been insane, I really don't get the butthurt about this, and Wii U owners still got to play those games many years before Switch owners anyway. I'd be more upset about the Wii U eShop shutting down so early, given some of the Virtual Console gems available.

It's hardly some forgotten side game.

       @Stoonk @natsock @FargleLarkTheSecond @GatorTime @Jim @dalcello Nah, it's in Mario Maker 2 because it had a lot of unique mechanics that translated well to a 2D engine. Plenty of people hoped and even believed that Nintendo would do something similar with Mario Galaxy, especially since one of the 2D sections in Odyssey gave us a glimpse of what 2D Mario Galaxy would be like.

       @Stoonk @natsock @Blouie @FargleLarkTheSecond @GatorTime @Jim @dalcello As I already said, I'd easily take 3D World over 64 and Sunshine - Sunshine especially is laughably flawed, and has been considered a black sheep for a long time. There's nothing inherently superior about sandbox Mario - the Mario Galaxy games were much more linear, and benefited greatly from it. Nintendo didn't actually nail the sandbox 3D Mario style until Odyssey as far as I'm concerned.

       @Stoonk @ChristiJunior @FargleLarkTheSecond @GatorTime @Jim @dalcello You will never be a real Nintendo console. You have no mainline Mario game, no Metroid.

       @Blouie @natsock @FargleLarkTheSecond @GatorTime @Jim @Stoonk @dalcello I'm not even sure I'd rank Sunshine over 3D Land, lol. It certainly has its merits, but some of its individual Shines must be some the worst stretches of gameplay Nintendo has ever done (with the exception of that retarded helicopter section in SNES Pilotwings).And the game is shockingly rushed and unpolished for a flagship Nintendo game, they clearly were desperate to push it out as quickly as possible because launching without a Mario game was being cited as a major reason the GameCube underperformed.

       @Bead @Jim @natsock @Stoonk @dalcello I remember actually really liking the Wii (game crashes and all). I would play Godzilla: Unleased all the time back in the day.

       @Jim @dalcello @natsock I don’t blame you, after being burned by the Wii U I refuse to purchase a Niptendo product.Emulation has come such a long way, I can play these games for free at 60 fps

       @ChristiJunior @natsock @Blouie @FargleLarkTheSecond @GatorTime @Jim @Stoonk @dalcello I think if Sunshine was finished it would be as good as the Galaxy games or Odyssey, but having to play the shines in order, even though the overall progression of the stages with the shines is nice to look at, kills my interest to play past 25 to 30 shines. Adding a few more levels to get past that threshold would motivate me to not feel stuck at that tipping point.

       @PickledFedora @natsock @Blouie @FargleLarkTheSecond @GatorTime @Jim @Stoonk @dalcello I still think Sunshine is too limited in terms of levels to be on Galaxy 1-2 and Odyssey's level, but finished and polished it would definitely outclass Mario 64.

       @William_The_Dragonborn @ChristiJunior @natsock @Blouie @FargleLarkTheSecond @GatorTime @Jim @Stoonk @dalcello Even though Galaxy 2 technically improves on the core content of Galaxy 1, I do hold a softer spot for the first game because of the bells and whistles. KingK articulated the words better than I could: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBFg1snXtzU

       @PickledFedora @natsock @Blouie @FargleLarkTheSecond @GatorTime @Jim @Stoonk @William_The_Dragonborn @dalcello Level for level, boss for boss, Galaxy 2 is probably better, but Galaxy had the greater impact and the more effective soundtrack. Also, Miyamoto being such an anti-story sperg that he thought *Galaxy 1* was too story-heavy and Galaxy 2 needed a way worse story, was really retarded.

       @ChristiJunior @natsock @Blouie @FargleLarkTheSecond @GatorTime @Jim @Stoonk @William_The_Dragonborn @dalcello I think, as someone who first played Mario World around the age of 5~6 and died fast like an idiot, watched a friend play 64 at parties but only got to play it on the DS, and tired of Sunshine by 25-30 shines, Galaxy 1's impact was the greatest of any Mario game up to that point. The smoothness of the fixed camera angles (thanks to Koizumi hating the 3D camera of the Marios and Zeldas he had previously worked on so much he deliberately made Donkey Kong Jungle Beat 2D to take a break), the live orchestra soundtrack for the first time, the remixing of mechanics from other platformers which built on, or were built 50 stories on top of, the foundation of Mario 64 such as the spin in Crash or the gravity from Ratchet and Clank in a way that still felt inventive enough to work as its own product, the effective use of every console gimmick (pointer, motion waggle, even balancing) such that I cannot imagine playing it without the controller it was made for, the surprise playable Luigi, and the cute console notifications if you got to certain milestones basically made it impossible for Galaxy 2 to have the same impact as 1. The gap between 64/Sunshine and Galaxy is a chasm, but the gap between every Mario game after is at most a commute because SMG improved so much from its predecessors that even if you can argue Galaxy 2 has better levels, 3D Land had the social aspect to beat your streetpassers times to compensate for the reduced difficulty, 3D world essentially has the Mario Party friendship killer aspect in platformer form, and Odyssey is bigger game which can keep you invested the longest, that feel of hitting the Gusty Garden Galaxy and the most iconic part of the score plays as you shake the remote to match that feeling of ascension is something no other Mario game truly matches in terms of combined art direction, level design, music, and console gimmicks.

       @PickledFedora @natsock @Blouie @FargleLarkTheSecond @GatorTime @Jim @Stoonk @William_The_Dragonborn @dalcello Yeah, Galaxy just blew me away the first time I played it - I honestly never saw a Mario game like that coming, a Mario platformer set in frikkin' outer space, with an amazing, orchestral soundtrack, and even some really epic cut-scenes. Or Rosalina being so damn hot for that matter :0180:But beyond that, the game was just flat out insane in terms of variety and creativity, and so much fun, I just had this big, dumb grin on my face during much of my first playthrough. So many genius mechanics, so many "this is so fucking cool!" moments.And yeah, Galaxy definitely marked a turning point for the 3D Mario platformers, with Nintendo stepping up their game dramatically (except in the case of 3D Land, which for me kinda feels like a tech demo next to 3D World) and finally having 3D Mario reach its full potential. I hope Mario Bros. Wonder can do something like that for 2D Mario.
