Me, with a mate a week ago on Resident Evil 5.

In what world would you expect it to NOT be compatible with Switch cartridges?

  • Game Boy, Color, Advance - backwards compatible
  • GameCube, Wii - backwards compatible
  • Wii - Wii U - backwards compatible
  • DS - DSi - 3DS - N3DS - backwards compatible

For all their faults, Nintendo have been strong with backwards compatibility for 30+ years, the only exceptions being the SNES (NES backwards compatibility existed initially but was dropped), N64 (fucking complex custom architecture and final cart based console) and Virtual Boy (lol)

This is 7 years now since the launch of the switch. That's longer than the period between the NES western launch to the SNES 1985-1991, longer than SNES to the N64 (1991-1996), longer than the N64 to the GameCube (1996 - 2001), longer than GameCube to the Wii (2001 - 2006), Wii to Wii U ( 2006 to 2012) and Wii U to Switch (2012 - 2017)

The ONLY exception being the OG Gameboy to GBC, 9 years.

Yes, extremely easy to set up for schools, cheaper than alternatives, and simple to problem solve for teachers.

It's funny, we basically have magic now

I can talk to anyone, miles away instantly, anywhere on earth. It's mental. But it's totally normal for us to make phone calls.

UK. It's been absolute fucking shite this summer. Rain, rain and more fucking rain.

Last year was scorching hot to the point of being unbearable. Not this year. It's fucking pissing it down right now in fact.
