MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A kid shouts angrily because he has to stop playing games so the family can leave on vacation; the car sags, and its tire deflates when his dad shoves a giant CRT TV into the back seat.
“The secret to Nintendo’s success lies in bringing arcade games forward, into the home,” says the jaunty narrator.
After that comes a song I’d rank somewhere in the range of “unaired musical SNL sketch” in which our emcee narrates the Game Boy going to the lake, on a date, a movie theater, a baseball diamond, a plane, and more.
When PlayStation launched the PSP and Nintendo dropped the first DS, almost 20 years ago now, both companies made big promises about the wireless revolution and how it might change gaming.
It’s a story about hardware and the fact that the smartphone revolution has finally made it possible to make a seriously powerful mobile device.
The Switch and Steam Deck are both still excellent devices, but Asus, Ayaneo, Logitech, and others are their own paths as dedicated handheld systems.
