Well in a post apocalyptic world, it will be the people have the physical only games that can still play. The rest of us will not have the internet to download anything. So all of those hundreds of games that we have in our "library" but had to delete to make space for another game are not gone forever. So even though we may have purchased Breath of the Wild, we have no way of playing it cause we deleted it to make room for LA Noir or something.

Meanwhile, the person who purchased physical can pop in all of his collection at anytime. Well as long as the game isn't an "online only" game. I hate online required single player shit.

Can't download games in a post apocalyptic world since the internet probably won't work. Physical games master race :) 

I am fairly certain that in a world without Internet we're gonna have a few bigger problems than games. Hunger, disease and war for example.

You brought up the post apocalyptic scenario. We were just proving that in that scenario, physical games would be ideal.

Nintendo is back and the third-parties too!

GREAT!

This post-apocalyptic world where people are able to play video games doesn't sound very post-apocalyptic. If I still have the electricity to power a game console then it sounds more like post-annoyance.

I'm loving the ports to the Switch that missed out the first time around, but we need to see releases at the same time as PS4 and XBO to keep up momentum. Also, Nintendo is gonna need some big third party (timed) exclusives!

Those are but small issues compared to not being able to play my favorite games offline!

(if you haven't sensed it yet, this is indeed sarcasm)

Not that hard to get electricity. The switch would be easier than a standard home console. All you would need to do is have something to charge your system. Whether its actual electricity working, a car batter, generator or whatever. You would have electricity far longer than you would have a stable internet or internet in general.

But Switch, you just need to charge switch and you can play for hours. Others you need to have the system have constant electricity as well as a constant electricity for the TV. Or two big batteries/generators/ect to keep them running.

Here here! I don't give a shit if the next Zelda forces me to download 80% of the game... I won't buy. I made my idealistic stance on that awhile back and I'm sticking to it. The day I can't go to the store or go online and buy a physical game, pop it in and play is the day my NES,SNES,Genesis,N64 and every other pre-360 year console becomes my permanent playground. 

I just refuse. Absolutely refuse.

I imagine a post apocalyptic world (5 years from now) where everyone is downloading their games digitally while one lone survivor scavenges the ruins of old society (Gamestop) to find the last remaining physical game copies and part replacements for ancient consoles.

If he is anything like me he would have already stocked up on 3-5 consoles of each lol.

Real support? or is it the old "support" to help them fund their AAA titles on other platforms again?

I dont it really matters since you wil finally be able to play those games on the go. 



Pocky Lover Boy!

At long last! 3rd party games coming to a Nintendo console! Gotta say, I'm pretty impressed by 3rd party showing so far in the Switch (but it's still nothing when compared to PS4/X1)



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
