Videogame publishers not caring about their backcatalogs. If they'd care about preservation and actual long term gain, they'd make old games available.

It took EA so long to make Sims 1 and 2 available. It felt like they actively hate money. And there are plenty of other games that people would love to buy and that are just not made available.

If owning the physical retro game is the only way to play the game (legally) that will help drive up prices.

This is of course but one of the reasons.

Why exactly are we still bringing this up? We all know it was a shitty thing to do... this post reeks of ragebait.

Those concerns are so super niche, I doubt they'll be a big problem for Nintendo. I know it may not seem that way, but handheld PCs are not a widespread product.

If "normies" are able to buy a Playstation 5 after having bought a PS4, 3, 2 and 1, Then I think Nintendo is going to be just fine.

Well done

I think I made it clear why this reminded me of bad reddit posts.

You clearly have more knowledge about portable gaming laptops than I have. So my opinion might be based in ignorance. I am hardly whining though.

I feel like having several items (laptop plus controller) to carry around is a bigger dealbreaker than having a bigger device. Though I agree that an increase in size and weight can be problematic.

I also never wanted to imply that this community has no value and I am sorry I gave that impression.

That sure is one way to handle criticism. I'm not going to let you push me out of a community though.

I'm not being bitter. I just feel that the wording of the original post is pretty baity. You're unhappy with size and weight, and that is a valid point worth discussing. But making the jump to laptops? Hyperbolic engagement bait. I don't like it. If others do, that's fine. But I feel this trend of engagement bait is bad for platforms in general. And I want to keep the illusion up that lemmy is better than this.

If it isn't, then I still feel it's worthwhile to point out that discussions can be had without the hyperbole.

Aren't you missing the point? The portability and formfactor (controller) is what makes handheld pcs like this worthwhile. A laptop is a laptop, it's not really made for portable play and you'd need to lug around a controller.

I stopped using Reddit because of shitposts like these and here we are again.

Started with Emio, the third Famicom detective Club game and I am really digging it this far.

It is oldschool and has a slower pace so far but the case is interesting and keeps me engaged. Nice art and music.

I started the remake of the first Famicom Detective Club and I am enjoying it quite a bit.

These games defined my time with the DS. Glad they're back!

So many good memories of the hot seat multiplayer on my Windows 95 machine.

Looking forward to this as I really enjoyed it on the Wii.

Big fan of interactive documentaries like these!
