That’s right, for hardware that’s now eight years old and never got a price discount. It currently sells for C$400 – but they’re about to jack the price.

There are Android tablets that are much cheaper than the Switch, more powerful, more battery efficient. Also, play games better.

Yet, Nintendo is jacking the price.

      Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t a fair comparison since the original Switch never had it. We’re comparing the original Switch to Android, not PC or PS5 to Android.

      The problem with demanding exact “equivalents” is that it feels dismissive—like you’re rejecting games without giving them a real chance. Instead of chasing direct counterparts, focus on finding great games that stand on their own merits.

          I’ve already mentioned several games and even shared footage of a well-known title that outperforms everything on the original Switch.

          Yet, you’re still asking for a direct 1:1 equivalent. Games are creative works—not interchangeable commodities.

            The games you mentioned do not come anywhere close to the caliber of game I was asking about.

            So again, the answer is no, you can not provide equivalents. As expected.

              You’re literally making vague, empty demands and acting like I’m failing you. 😂

              Until you can actually put words to what “caliber” means—like “this game needs that feature”—your whole argument is just entitled whining dressed up as critique.

              Try again when you have a point. Until then, it’s just hot air.

                You’re literally making vague, empty demands and acting like I’m failing you. 😂

                Nope. I asked for very specific examples of some of the most popular gaming categories, like 3D platformers and RPGs. You just couldn’t find any, so you need to stall the conversation.

                Until you can actually put words to what “caliber” means—like “this game needs that feature”—your whole argument is just entitled whining dressed up as critique.

                Before you start assuming which features I will or won’t complain about… how about finding any examples at all? You haven’t even proven said games exist, let alone how comparable any features are.

                Try again when you have a point. Until then, it’s just hot air.

                You’re a bit slow. The point is quite clear, I doesn’t even require many words to describe so even somebody like you should be able to follow along: Android does not have a gaming library compared to any console, including the Switch.

                  I’ve seen this act before—you come in dismissing everything based on vague, shifting criteria you refuse to define. Why? Because it lets you move the goalposts whenever the facts don’t fit your narrative.

                  Until you actually lay out concrete criteria instead of hiding behind empty words, all you’re doing is wasting oxygen with hot air.

                  Try not to trip over your own excuses next time.
