No shit.
Every 5 years, chodes expect each new Nintendo console to be a copy + paste of the previous one.
It's never happened.
Except no one expected the Wii U successor to be the same. The Nintendo switch leaks came years before the release, when it was still known under the codename "NX", and they were 100% accurate
I'm sorry but it is quite literally a GBA with an additional touchscreen and an ARM9 processor
You’re dismissing that way too easily. A dual screen handheld was pretty game changing and not to mention touchscreen was not a standard back then.
Fair enough, I have one and it is really ahead of the time
"The new console unfortunately is not backwards-compatible." -> riots
...versus...
"The new console is backwards-compatible because it's an upgraded version of the old console." -> riots
You can be backwards compatible without just being a hardware revision. Look at the Wii, while it's definitely built on the GameCube, it has many more features
SNES was top loading with receding flaps. NES was front loading with a flap cover.
Must I point out all of the changes, or can you do some critical thinking before you argue?
The Japanese version of the NES was a toploader, and the NES itself had a toploader version later on as well.
Also, what's with the personal attack?
Japan never got a front-loader with bonus connection problems and extra empty space in the carts.
This time it did.
