Oh yeah, I know it.

We could get something like UMDs from the PSP again though. Haha!

It’s not really an issue for the games, but an issue with the publishers, I guess, since quite a few 3rd party games have you download basically the whole thing instead of storing it on the cart.

I’m impressed they’re sticking with cartridges, since that has been a source of issues with some games. I appreciate it myself. I like them.

This guy is kind of silly for saying that this has been the only time there have been games that fit into the old system, since you could totally put Gameboy Color games into the Gameboy Pocket, they just wouldn’t work. They’d scold you and be like “This game can only be played on the GameBoy Color!”.

I hope there’s no forward compatibility, where games must target the lower spec hardware, since that’s the same thing holding the Xbox Series X/S, I hope there’s backwards compatibility though, it’d be nice to tuck my old Switch into storage.

I don’t think AVGN is a reliable source, it’s entertainment. There have been many moments where it’s clear (to me) that he’s just pretending to be stupid or bad at games just to give the viewer a laugh, so I’d take this one with a grain of salt.

I’m pretty sure this had launched a bit earlier, but yeah, pretty convenient timing.
