Earlier this week, indie publisher Nicalis made an unfortunate announcement. The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ wouldn’t be hitting the Nintendo Switch in time for the console’s March 3rd launch. While the game will still be hitting in the same month, it results in the console’s day-one selection being paired down to an embarrassingly slim line up.
As an iconic handheld device, the Game Boy Color was packed with fantastic platformer games that covered numerous sub-genres while providing a genuine experience.
From the Supervision to the Steam Deck, the vast history of handheld console gaming is always worth celebrating.
A modded PSP is awesome, I used to play games like the original Marvel vs Capcom and even the original Doom on it.
Epic Games winning its cases against both Apple and Google is shaping the way forward for the future of mobile gaming.
I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.
You can try to spin it however you want, but no saying "it's about the long-term" is utter garbage and simply an excuse. If there's ever a time for a failing console to win people over it's first impressions and quite frankly this is not winning over the consumer base it needs to thrive for that "long-term".
It doesn't matter how many Switch's are sold it boils down to the amount of software it sells that will keep those third parties invested in developing for the platform. Poor sales on games and you'll see devs pull that move EA did on the Wii U. So no, it's not about the long-term this is Nintendo doing what Nintendo does and showing themselves in the foot like usual.
