Reading From the Sacred Texts
PS2 vs Nintendo Switch
Fun Facts
Hardware
Gingy_37 - Both libraries are pretty stout, so I don’t think either has an advantage there. I think the Switch wins purely on being a hybrid console. I didn’t realize having your RPGs on the go and on a big screen would be that important to me until the Switch came around.
Mike @BlazeKnight0923 - Even though the Switch leaves out some classic RPGs including some of my personal favorites, I'll still give the edge to Switch for portability, HDMI, Wide screen, and an ever expanding library of games.
Game library
Ngachacha @ngachacha - Switch all the way! Golf Story, Octopath Traveller, Triangle Strategy, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Mario + Rabbids, Xenoblade Chronicles2, Shin Megami Tensei V, and Sports Story will be Indie game of the year when it drops in 2022!
TheMuff1nMon - As someone that missed the PS2 generation - what are the must play JRPGs on the system? I love my Switch and think it has some phenomenal JRPGs (FE3H, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Triangle Strategy, etc)
Party Up
TheDonRob @RobDoughan - Have either of you played triangle strategy, full game or demos? If so, what are your thoughts? I'm about 5 hours in and loving it! Playing because @BlandExplosion recommended this on Shack a few weeks back.
