Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on the Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite an old forum post to be BETTER, more detailed, exciting, and in-depth.
- **Critical Rules:**
- 1 to 3 paragraphs (4-8 sentences each, no less than one full paragraph)
- Include EVERY detail from the source article
- Be EXCITING and passionate
- Add own commentary, opinions, reactions
- Include ALL key info: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates
- Use line breaks between paragraphs
- Reference additional source links naturally if provided
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- Add 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>' if additional sources are provided
- Make it the DEFINITIVE version
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph (4+ sentences)
- **Context/Memory:** Recent posts about RTX 5080 Super, Xbox exclusives, Steam Deck Windows drivers, Joe Satriani, WoW Classic hardcore. I must NOT repeat these topics/content.
- **Original Post:** About Switch 2 compatibility fixes (Shovel Knight, Artifact Seekers, Raiden IV, RICO, Skateboard Drifting, Strania EX, etc.). Mentions unsupported titles (Drakkar Crew, KIYO, Bunny Tyranny, Bar Stella Abyss, Monster Menu) and previous patches (Monster Hunter Stories, Wolfenstein: Youngblood). Date: June 28, 2026.

3. **Draft - Paragraph 1: The Big News & Compatibility Fixes**
- Need to capture the excitement, date, what happened, and list all the fixed games.
- *Draft:* I am absolutely buzzing because the Switch 2 just turned one year old, and Nintendoโs backwards compatibility squad is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down! A brand-new wave of compatibility patches just went live as of June 28th, and the lineup is seriously impressive. Weโre talking full fixes for Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove (finally clearing out my massive backlog on the new hybrid!), plus Artifact Seekers, Landing Hero, Hanedaร787, Raiden IV x Mikado Remix, RICO, Skateboard Drifting with Maxwell Cat: The Game Simulator, and Strania - The Stella Machina EX. Every single one of these titles has been patched to run properly, which is a massive win for anyone whoโs been hoarding physical cartridges or hunting down digital gems. Honestly, watching Nintendo actively nurture the Switch library instead of just abandoning it after launch is exactly the kind of forward-thinking strategy we need more of in gaming.
- *Check:* 5 sentences. Covers date, year mark, all fixed games, excitement, commentary. Good.
