What bugs me is i thought it was cause of the switch 2 pending, but turns out the switch 2 won't be fully backwards compatible
The Switch 2 has a new hardware size and some software (like Labo and Ring Fit) has a physical component that is sized to the original Switch/Joy-Con. It could be referring to that.
Yeha but the pessimist in me thinks of box's backwards compatibility where only the games they curated would work. Still can't play eternal sonata anymore.
Just as a heads up, Eternal Sonata was released on the PS3 and Xbox360. Both RCPS3 and Xenia can play Eternal Sonata even on a steamdeck. If they wont let you play it legitimately, and youve bought a copy for your old systems... thats more than enough justification to emulate in my books.
I couldn't get the xbox version to run emulated. It was all black, none of the graphics loaded. But i did get the ps3 version working.
Hey that's awesome. I've been playing drakengard 3, I never finished eternal sonata, so I think I'll go back and do that.
