Thats quite the contradiction when your whole argument is about multiplats and even listed a bunch of games on PC.

It's not that just they're on PC, I can't play them on Switch. That and a game is $80 + 12% tax (93 or so dollars) in Canada.  I spent that and got like 10 games. Switch is good for indies and the usual lineup of superstar Nintendo franchises I can't live without. The other thing pushing me towards PC / Steam is I don't pay tax on digital products for some reason. Doom was exactly $19.99 on sale. Great fucking game. 10/10 would buy again.

You've really side stepped what your entire argument was up to this point, you went from talking about how you want Switch to get AA/AAA multiplat titles then when i tell you there are a decent amount out/on the way, you start talking about how you can get those on PC.

Make up your mind because what you are saying now is a complete 180 from what you were talking about a few posts back.

Welcome to almost two years ago when I presented my argument about Switch's strong point:

Upgrading 3DS exclusives to modern day standards. I said getting the worst version of multiplats on the go was not the strength; rather, getting games like Monster Hunter, Braverly, and others up to 1080p. I argued that the only difference between the 3DS software and the home console software was the graphics. Many, many gamers get 3DS titles and think. "this would be so much better on my television" and Switch finally gives us a chance to do just that. Nintendo will not have the top of the line ports, but like 3DS, they will have enough original and exclusive content that people will still have a reason to own the console.

I also said that Switch was in position to really help the industry. The gap between AAA and indie titles was getting wider and wider yet Switch gave developers an opportunity to keep studios open because they still had a place to put their AA budget titles since Switch is technically a handheld. I was only half correct about that one as SquareEnix recently opened a new studio technically growing the industry opposed to just holding the industry in place.

Not one person agreed with me when I posted these things. Everyone that read my posts basically argued with me up and down that I was insulting Switch by making this claim. Finally we get Octopath, a game that would have been on 3DS last generation, and now people want to see my point without giving me the credit of my foresight. OK. Fine. Just glad I was able to get that out.

Whoa whoa whoa dont pretend nobody agreed, ive been saying since 2014 when Iwata talked about a unified platform that it would basically be a consolidation of 3DS+Wii U software support (Vita as well once it became clear it wouldnt get a successor).

That is fair. I do remember seeing you post things like that. I do not remember you specifically agreeing with me but you were posting things that were similar to my rhetoric on your own. I apologize. Fair is fair and right is right. You are right.
