It took a lot of work to get PC parts to become interoperable. There's all kinds of special negotiations that happen at boot to discover the state of hardware. There are standard drivers for most peripherals

Mobile devices aren't expected to change hardware so everything is hard-coded into the ROM. No discovery protocols are supported. Standardized drivers make it hard to ship new features or squeeze every last bit of performance so no effort goes into making them

I miss the old split screen feature. It was far more useful compared to the new "app pairs" thing. Mostly happy (edit: that nothing has changed) otherwise

I like to do a little karate chop

I made a lot of notes to myself while playing Majora's Mask! I'm going out of order but I expect more of the same when I get around to OoT
