With that said, I already own a ton of games--many of which are full console games. It's awesome. That console experience on the go--you can't beat it! ...but wasn't that the reason why the Vita failed? Why the DS best the PSP? Those consoles offered "console experience on the go" titles and we all said "Nope. Nintendo understands the portable market. They know people want portable experiences!"
What changed? An I rewriting history? Discuss. |
I think it's in the marketing. In the past, "console experience on the go" meant similar games on a handheld but not the same.
The Switch is different. The game is the same whether on the big screen or on the handheld. This was made very clear in the Switch's reveal trailer:

No, you're not getting gimped console games on this new handheld, you're getting the SAME GAME.
That and the ability to switch back and forth between the two so easily is pretty great. I can continue playing whether on the toilet or at work or in bed or in my backyard or traveling.
