Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

So much for Nintendo's previous naming conventions. I was really hoping for the New Super Nintendo Switch U.

They wanna make it very clear that this is their best-selling console ever but better, I would‘ve been surprised if they didn‘t just slap a 2 on it. There‘s so much riding on this for them.

Plus it's an actual straight upgrade, what with backwards compatibility and all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Partial backwards compatibility, based on their asterisk, at least.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's probably only referring to games like labo and ring fit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah it's going to be the same as PS4 on PS5. The disclaimer is on every game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I think that's still the DS. The Switch got close, but didn't beat it, and now that attention is on the Switch2, it probably won't.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well they did just slap a 3 onto the DS

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

And then called the second gen 3DS the "New 3DS".

They got scared after what happened with the Wii U.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The new 3ds was very confusing too

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, everyone always brings up the Wii U but the whole "New" 3DS situation was even less clear if you ask me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Then you add in the 2DS which came out after the 3DS.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

...Cube 128

It occurred to me that this is the first time Nintendo has ever not used some new weird naming convention for a successor console. Just 2.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I'd buy a Nintendo Switchety-Four in a heartbeat

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I was hoping for the Swiitch

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I'll be waiting for the swivtch
