Nintendo discontinuing Gold Points on the Switch eShop, ahead of Switch 2 release

This is one of the stupidest comments I've ever heard really Rre video games, no country has produced more innovation in the space than the Japanese.
Only if you ignore all of western game development

I have small hands and my kids use it without complaining. It's bigger than a Switch, but not too much bigger. I've traveled with it plenty.
The Switch OLED is already a bit big to travel with for me but I make do and I'd prefer it to be smaller in hand. I had the lite and much preferred its form factor. OLED does have a much, much better screen. Different strokes for different folks. The Deck doesn't meet my use case, nad that's fine.

Bro I started my professional game development career in 1996 and retired in 2015. I played video games in the early 70's that existed before Pong. My father had one of the 5 supercomputers in the world in the meteorological service of Canada, where I used to hang out with nerds that would let me play with shit, and play the games they made when they weren't modeling weather. I have studied nothing in my entire life more than the tapestry of what we call game development. So kindly stop.

It was funny money to begin with.
As a product designer who sometimes does gamification, I love that term and my clients are gonna hear a lot more funny money

I love the thing and use it extensively whenever I can, but it is bulky and hard to fit into bags with other stuff. If there was a way to separate the palm rest bits and have most other things be flat, and thin enough, that’d make a huge difference. But the bulky palm rests attached to the thin body, it just unavoidably wastes some space, and even more if one wants to be safe and use the case.
But it’s not that bad, easily lived with. Doesn’t remove the fact that it could be much better in that regard though.
Still easily more portable than a laptop though! And much more comfortable to use for gaming, if that’s going to be the most common use case for a computer while you travel.

How is that related to his/her opinion at all? Are they not allowed to dislike something? You don't have to agree, but wtf.
I don't really care for japanese style games either, whether it's rpg games like Chrono trigger, or sailor moon, or any final fantasy games. Are you going to shit on me too? Because I don't like something that is popular? I just never got into them and other things interested me first. I do love secret of mana though.

Just buy a Steam Deck instead.
I play my Switch docked 99.9% of the time. One thing holding me back with Steam Deck is I keep hearing about complications with trying to play it docked on TV.

Is this a joke? Side-scrolling platformers are fun and not every game needs voice-acting.
Not for everyone.

So... they shouldn't exist?

No, but why argue with someone's opinion over what games they like??

Because what they said was, They have game series like mega man that they refuse to Move past side scrolling, you play their games and they even leave out basic shit like “pick up item” animations and voice acting. Implying that the kind of games I like should have stopped existing as technology marched on.
