It says like not only compatible with Nintendo switch online switch to GameCube games, which implies it's not compatible with switch or switch to games like smash ultimate or things like that. It doesn't function just as a pro controller. And obviously that doesn't sound good. And that's straight from Nintendo.
But then everyone else is like, Oh, well they said the exact same thing about some other controllers and those work with other things. So it's like, it is this weird thing of even if Nintendo, uh, does come out and does explicitly say a thing, that thing gets picked apart. And I don't know that there's winning. I think that's the problem.

It's just like when all the information, every single thing is cared about by this community so much, every aspect about the Nintendo Switch 2 people care about. You know what I mean? Yeah. And that is where I think it kind of turns into the chip damage thing of like, sure, you might not care about the GameCube controller, but I do.

But you might care more about having to download the games, the update packs or expansion packs or whatever. Or XYZ. And then I do feel like there's just this like kind of communal coming together on top of all the console war nonsense of people that are... God, like this last week has been one of those fun ones for me, I'll say, because I haven't seen too much actual like...

negative vitriol that's like nasty it's more stupidity and it's more so fun to like laugh at these people that like like people that are like really really really rocking for the Steam Deck over the Nintendo Switch 2 like anytime someone's like being positive about the Switch they're like just buy a fucking Steam Deck you fucking pussies maybe they're not that extreme but I'm just like

I mean, I'm sure some of that is the case, but I think this is actually a problem with people's minds. I think that it is the tribalism in the weird way where, again, it goes back to community.

Like I think that every, we're going to see this for the rest of time, bless because anytime we're in a crossing over of generations where there is as much synergy between the two, we saw it with PS4 to PS5.
