  • 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.









  • Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc

    The only issue I’ve ever had is having to replug in the usb cable at the start if my pc is started up with it plugged in… but as it’s almost always stored in a box unless I use it, that’s rarely ever a problem.

    Maybe it’s the connector on the cable end that plugs into the headset that’s dodgy in your case
