Up here you said the switch 1 edition being played on the switch 2
Yeah, hypothetically.
If most in that scenario indeed got it via the bundle then they’ll probably be mostly on the Switch 2 software.
humble parrot
Imagine wanting to play PSO online on GameCube and your only option was dialup
😬
They were pretty vague on the switch 2 part. 'Roughtly half, played on'
mental summit
Yeah but my point is we didn’t know there would be a legends ZA bundle
How many Pokémon fans bought $500 switch 2+MKW since it was the most value, since they knew they’d buy Pokémon anyways
If they already have a switch 2, they’re not gonna fork over another 500 to save 20 bucks on PLZA
mental summit
We did know
Oh we did? Ignore me then I didn’t keep up with this stuff

PS2 supported DSL at least. The Sega Dreamcast was the first real attempt and it used dialup.

Gamecube needed that box thing you plugged on the bottom

Nah the GBA emulator used it.
peak folio

How man...
The main reason they’d buy the system early if they weren’t interested in the other launch period titles is either FOMO or they wanted to see improvements in existing games right away.
Core gamers (a minority) wanting the hardware straight away for the sake of it will be interested in the additional games as well.
rare coral
I just used my GBA
The funny part is that they had a DSL modem but it could only do LAN.
peak folio
FOMO as in they’re afraid of availability when the game comes out or price increases by tariffs or something
But the main reason I suspect the bundles are heavy in this launch week is because having “nearly half” be on the new hardware otherwise is an absurd take rate.
humble parrot
My gba decayed faster than my gbc for some reason
