@Impaler-D What it MEANS, is that I had an intellivision when I was a kid and the reimagining and updated versions of these games look like fun to both myself and my kids. My understanding is that these games will have a competitive and fun “game night” feel to them that might appeal to both generations. Can I play an updated version of Astrosmash, AD&D, Night Stalker, etc on the Switch? No I can’t. So this system will offer ME something that the Switch can’t. These games likely mean nothing to you and that’s fine...but they do to me. I played Super Mario Brothers on my NES...but Mario Party Switch isn’t my thing. Maybe there’s a nostalgic aspect that’s drawing me to this system but I’m willing to give it a chance and share it with my kids. Have you seen this system in person? Have you played this system? No, you haven’t. All I’m saying is that it might be a ton of fun, so why arbitrarily dismiss it out of hand?
So much negativity, most of you seem to enjoy trashing on a system you know absolutely nothing about. Maybe it’s not the system for you, but it might find a market for a group of older gamers trying to bridge a gap between themselves and their kids. My kids love their switch, but the system hasn’t bridged that gap for me. Why is a company that’s trying to add something to the industry a bad thing? I think it’s great that they’re trying to simplify games and bring families closer together. If you don’t, fine. Don’t play it...but to simply trash on it before it’s had a chance is really quite pathetic.
