Yeah it was one of the least appealing part of the game. They wanted no HUD evidently so pulling up the map and compass constantly, which took you out of the game, was in my mind a lessor alternative.

How about discord? They make it easy and the way I see it it's the primary mode or game streaming? I'm not even a casual expert on the mater though.

maybe? I've used discord a couple times, but I really have never understood it. In all honesty, I've never really taken the time to understand it either, but the idea that I have to take time to understand it is makes me not very interested.

The streaming part is really easy, but yeah I also have not invested the time in figuring out the forum like chat side of it. It must work, millions of people use and prosper from it. I use it for the podcast which is really quite usefull and easy.  I was hoping that in the unlikely event this place falls apart technically (like browsers banning unsecured sites) that would be the alternative, as that is where most community forums have ended up. But not sure what the feasible adoption rate would be ...  I may have to set up a forum at gameunder if that happened for all us old timers who cannot figure out discord or don't want to rely on the whims of corporate overlords.

[ign.com]An Editorial Looking at the Best Handhelds of 2025 Nintendo enters a crowded field.

I don't think all these Steam Deck-like handheld pc's will put a dent in the succes of the next Switch.  Those handhelds aim at a very specific niche of the market, being people who are big enough into PC gaming to want such a device and who aren't such snobs as to put up with the 'inferior' hardware for the benefit of portability.  If anything, I think small form factor PC's with Valve's own operating system will pose more of a threat to actual home consoles.  That and Nintendo could easily dominate for 20 more years on household name alone.

I agree. though I think the piece of the pie this time around for Nintendo will be smaller.

That said, I don't see the switch 2 steamrolling everything like its predecessor did. I think it's going to do well, and outsell its competition, but it's not going to be contending for the best selling system of all time.

It'd be interesting to know the division of switch owners by age.  I'm thinking that all adults who got one would be real gamers, so will eventually upgrade (unless they get a Steam Deck).  There'll be an age bracket of kids who have now 'outgrown' gaming, but these should be replaced by kids who were too young during the Switch's lifespan.  The only market I could see Nintendo really losing is that of parents who bought their kids a Switch and don't see the point of ever upgrading that.

Yes this. But I do see lder gamers igrating to steam deck but i am biased by my own exp

I've been playing Super Mario RPG remake. I've underestimated how challenging this game would be. Some of these battles go on much longer than I expected.

Welp.  I will probably not have the patience for it.

It's actually not as difficult as I initially thought. I was playing it wrong. Once I raised a few levels and figured out the timing for blocking and getting the extra hits in battle, it became much easier.

Ive beaten it about 4 times and not found it hard at all

Last I heard Steamdeck had sold 5 million.

Switch is at or nearing 130 million.

I think a dedicated Sony or MS handheld would do well.

But they might then face the same problem Nintendo had with delivering games to a home console and handheld.
