Message: [QUOTE="Twapsel, post: 62282, member: 205523"] That probably is a thing of the past. The only games that really rely on specifics of Switch hardware are party games and mini-game collections or things like Ring Fit. Meaning outliers. Most of the games can be played with a normal gamepad. Relying on the specifics of hardware in the past no is a problem for Nintendo because it is harder to rerelease the games on the Switch (and soon the Switch 2), which means they have more effort when releasing a port or a remaster. Also with the Switch the mainstream games have to be playable both with a controller in docked mode and in handheld mode which also makes it harder to rely on special hardware. Therefore this is a thing of the past. The only exception or those mini game collections and party games. That would be talking about at least the 2040s and three generations in general. Just compare PS2 with PS5. On PS2 you only had physical games and you only had local play. With PS5 everything is digital. But more importantly microtransactions within Fortnite, FIFA Ultimate team... make more money than the sales of full price AAA games like Elden Ring. The market completely changed. And what changed the most is the business modell. For Nintendo too. And in the 2040s it will be changed even more. [/QUOTE]
