  • Deathstalker 1 & 2, although the second is far superior.

    It’s completely tone deaf by any standards, let alone modern ones. Watch as a gang rape is interrupted and turned into what can only be described as a “heroic sexual assault”.

    The second swaps out the main actor for a much funnier one, and has probably the catchiest out-of-place theme tune of any movie.

    You know you’re watching a terrible movie, but they breeze along and you can’t help but be entertained by it.

    I cannot stand 2001 A Space Odyssey

    It’s glacially paced, there’s like 1 good scene with HAL and Dave and the rotating set is neat with him running around the edge. It’s about 20 minutes of decent movie padded to an agonising two and a half hours of pretentious nonsense.

    People go “oh, but it was groundbreaking at the time!” We’d had Star Trek for two years by that point. It really was not that groundbreaking.




  • I mean, Nintendo have often been fairly good with back compatibility.

    If the architecture and form factor of physical media isn’t really changing, there’s not a lot of need to block older games from running.

    They’re already on ARM, and there’s not much better for mobile gaming and GPUs have been fairly similar for a long time now.

    The more interesting question is: will the Switch games get a performance boost on Switch 2? And it’s probably going to depend on the game. I’d imagine they’ll test a lot of the more popular titles, and anything with issues just gets it disabled until the developer patches it. It’d be nice to play TotK at a decent frame rate. Impressive as it is, it certainly chugs.
