No shit.

Every 5 years, chodes expect each new Nintendo console to be a copy + paste of the previous one.

It's never happened.

  • SNES
  • Every handheld console except for the DS and Switch was a copypaste + upgrade from the last one. GB Pocket, GB Color, GB Advance, GBA SP, GBA Micro, DS Lite, 3DS, 2DS, New 3DS, 3DS XL

"The new console unfortunately is not backwards-compatible." -> riots

...versus...

"The new console is backwards-compatible because it's an upgraded version of the old console." -> riots

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

You can be backwards compatible without just being a hardware revision. Look at the Wii, while it's definitely built on the GameCube, it has many more features

Every handheld console except for the DS

I'm sorry but it is quite literally a GBA with an additional touchscreen and an ARM9 processor

[–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You’re dismissing that way too easily. A dual screen handheld was pretty game changing and not to mention touchscreen was not a standard back then.

[–] amon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Fair enough, I have one and it is really ahead of the time

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (4 children)

SNES was top loading with receding flaps. NES was front loading with a flap cover.

Must I point out all of the changes, or can you do some critical thinking before you argue?

[–] f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago

Japan never got a front-loader with bonus connection problems and extra empty space in the carts.

[–] bob_lemon@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Japanese version of the NES was a toploader, and the NES itself had a toploader version later on as well.

Also, what's with the personal attack?

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Sorry, just frustrated to see the same assumption every generation, after ever generation sees massive change. In retrospect, it's probably new people making the same assumption, not the same people.

[–] missingno@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

Do you really consider that to be a meaningful point worth "um, akshually"ing over?

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

This time it did.

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

Except no one expected the Wii U successor to be the same. The Nintendo switch leaks came years before the release, when it was still known under the codename "NX", and they were 100% accurate
