      Yeah, the article specifies home console.

      Game Boy lasted over 9 years between 1989 and late 1998, then Game boy Color happened.

      Some people consider GBC just another GB revision, but with twice the processing power and memory, on top of the colour screen, it does not really make sense IMO.

    Well, they still support the Switch really good with tons of games still coming out - first, second and third party. Also a lot of the “cool” indie games getting a switch port makes it the perfect machine for people like me who love that kind of stuff but are not into pc’s. Dredge and Dave the Diver come to mind. Love, love! both of them!

    Virtual Boy was never replaced.

    checks article

    Hah, they apparently left it off their table of systems. Nice try, author!

    EDIT: Oh, someone else pointed out that they left off the portables, and they probably consider it to be a portable, though I don’t think people likely actually carried it around.

    I really can’t get used on the controller. Every time I play my son switch, I can play only a short period of time. The steam deck looks better in that regard.

      Yeah we swapped over to the PS5 DualSense. So much nicer.

      Edit: only works on Homebrewed Switch sadly

        You can get controller adapters to plug other controllers into the switch, you only need homebrew if you want to do it without anything extra.

        I forget who makes them. It might be 8bitdo? There are probably a million clones by now though because this was something I remember seeing earlier on in the switch’s lifecycle.

      Eh, the Pro controller is pretty decent. I very rarely play in handheld mode, but there are also more ergonomic options for that use case as well.
