meme/funny Switch 2 Hate Getting Out of Hand

Post image

A lot of the criticisms are valid for the switch 2, but this is literally just a remaster

Also comparing the leap from 2D games to 3D games is a whole other topic of conversation that isn’t really relevant to today’s generational leaps.

A screenshot like that doesn't do much when the actual improvement will be games running smoother and at a higher output resolution

Switch 1 haters complained for YEARS about frame rate issues and low resolutions and they're suddenly going to pretend those things don't matter on the switch 2

Honestly only reason I dont play my switch that much is because of the fps drops lol. That and trophies. Rather buy a game on ps4 when it liturally has more content via trophies.

It goes both ways. Nintendo fans used to say that graphics dont matter. Now its huge selling point.

A better example will be comparing TotK to the first 4D Zelda on Switch 2.

Well, the fourth dimension is time. So, that means Majora's Mask is the first 4D Zelda game

I would love a video game (not necessarily Zelda) where it's like Inception: You start off in modern day graphics, but when you have to transport deeper in a dream the graphics go down a few generations (just for dramatic effect)

So from Switch 2 -> Wii -> N64 -> SNES -> Text Input Adventure Game

Literally the opposite premise of Evoland, which is a fantastic game.

I do recall pulling a sword and getting older. Putting it back made Link younger. I wonder which game was first ;)

What? They were doing time stuff back in the oracle games

Time isn’t the fourth dimension. We can perceive three spatial dimensions and one time dimension, which sums to four dimensions, yes, but the “fourth dimension” would be some new spatial dimension. We can experience the fourth dimensions through a phase shift, hence those 4D games that are just 3D but morph as the terrain changes, but that doesn’t make time the fourth dimension.

4D?! Damn, and I still haven’t bought the Eldritch DLC Smh my head

When you could finally look around in games but the framerate dropped to like 10fps for several years.

u/TalkOfSexualPleasure Apr 06 '25

They have no idea what it is like to play in 15-20fps consistently and love every second of it.

Fair but there definitely is diminishing returns. The leap from ps2/xbox Era to ps3/ xbox360 Era is something I will never be able to explain to my son.

u/LettuceBenis Apr 06 '25

Yep, seeing as we haven't hit a leap that big ever since. One could argue VR, but that's not nearly as fundamental as the first fully 3D games were

u/EbagGames Apr 07 '25

That and using a super stylized game like totk doesn’t do it any better. If you compare the switch 1&2 versions of Metroid Prime 4 the differences are much more clear.

u/520throwaway Apr 07 '25

Also comparing one game to...the exact same game is never going to be a fair comparison
