How does it feel to know that Nintendo learned NOTHING from the Wiiu's flop?
They're going to do the exact same shit with the switch aren't they?
How does it feel to know that Nintendo learned NOTHING from the Wiiu's flop?
Well they scrabbled for a big launch that turned out to be a big dud and resulted in a console with little staying power as the next few months had nogaems (of note) and thus interest in the console dropped immensely. If the report that says they'll launch with Mario Switch but hold off on Zelda BotW until later is true, then maybe they have learned to properly pace themselves.
*scrambled
A console won't be a success just because of Mario
But they got 3rd party support this time! Surely they won't shit out a few mediocre ports and then abandon the system again
Just like Darksiders, Deus Ex and uh
OH SHIT
I wish I saved the thing with all the "developers" they're partnered with. I can't wait for whatever game Autodesk is making
Will it be a success because of a rushed Zelda game? Will it be a success when people have to pick and choose between Mario, Zelda, and some other launch titles because they don't want to spend too much money at once?
Are they?
It looks good, if the rumours are true and considering the people who have leaked them have already been right then it still looks good, first year has more first party games, and more good games than both the Xbox One and PS4, and the gimmicks are being held back intentionally because Nintendo doesn't want to sell the system on traditional gimmicks like multiple screens or motion controls.
The Switch in spite of not having hardware backwards compatible is designed in a way that it can be backwards compatible with literally every Nintendo system, 2 screens for ds / wiiu, apparently wii controllers will still work, and going forward an Arm based system would be great. There's one more major feature we don't know about too, that Nintendo are purposely not talking about yet it's suspected to be the third switch mode, I think it's VR, I think that Nintendo will release the Switch with a VR case that you strap to your head giving them a cheap and sloppy VR headest that isn't tethered to another device, the joycons split off perfectly to be used as left and right hand vr controllers, this would also round out the Switch for Virtual boy compatibility, as a selling point this would probably kill it, I'm not particularly interested in VR and [email protected]/* */ sounds really shit, but if the system is the rumoured $250 then I'm definitely buying one.
The problem is, the console was great in japan, it's just america that it sucked because NoA kept sabotaging releases. In Japan they got the full package and a bunch of japan exclusive shit like that drum Game, Yakuza HD, Dragon Quest, and other such games all unbutchered and uncut. It was actually a pretty good hidden gem console.
Meanwhile in americunt land and since EU mostly just syphons off whatever we get it counts for them too, we get Mario, Mario, and more Mario with all the niche releases in the shitter. You can even blame the Shitty Eshop selection on NoA because literally up until 2014 or 2015 they had some insufferable cunt working for them who was in charge of getting all those indie games like Meme Run and The Letter on there. His crowning achievement was fucking Gone Home, and even then I don't think that managed to make it on the WiiU thanks to him getting fired and them getting a new guy who was responsible for getting all those cellphone ports on the console, which is better than complete trash but not by much. Let's also pile Marketing on top of the retardations.
However since about 8/10ths of the market wasn't buying it thanks to NoA's ineptness Japan had to just kick it even though it was doing pretty respectably over there. Because of this, it puts it in a similar boat as the Vita. In Japan the Vita is a fucking wonder with a great fucking library but in the west we just get either the most accessible shit or just digital shit that no one buys because overpriced memcards, even buying physical on it is a pain thanks to the retarded filesize requirements.
Not to say the Big N itself didn't have a hand in it, delaying Zelda fifty billion times when the WiiU version has literally been finished for over a year, allowing their western branch to just fuck everything, Not going all in and giving us a Metroid, Animal Crossing, and maybe an F-zero when they had the chance. Really it was just a great console that had everything going against it that still has a decent, but small library.
No sadly. They're going to make the Switch a new Portstation and it's either going to succeed because "Muh skyrim and splatoon!" or it's going to fail miserably because literally the whole library right now is ports.
Whatever happens, honestly, I'm just fucking done. NoA's bullshit is too much and the Big N hasn't done jack for it and until they do I'm just done.
Skyrim hasn't been confirmed for the Switch though.

Nigger, you're just as delusional as the INDIE cocksucker if you think people were going to buy the wii u for Third party Jap crap or fucking ports(like PERSONA HASHTAG FIRE EMBLEM, a game that sold like shit everywhere) what the Wii u needed more than anything was for nintendo to stop sucking the 3ds' cock and MAKE SOME FUCKING GAMES FOR IT. Instead all they ever really did with the thing was Gimmicks(RIP star fox and paper mario, they never stood a chance). ports(Rather than add GC Backwards compatibility back in, even though the damn thing is fully capable of it) and fucking on-disc DLC amiibo shit. All the fucking wii u got was mostly scraps, and i doubt it was any better over with those shit eating japs.
With how home console unfriendly japan is, im surprised they supported the wii u for so long. Noone really has time to play shit at home in japan, let alone have the room for it unless you lived in a rural part of japan. It makes sense that ninty would put all its support into the 3ds.

That wasn't a list of gamedevs, it was a list of 3rd parties. AutoDesk will just be making tools to better make models.
But why would anyone buy a game for another console? Unless they add gimmicks to each game, in which repaying MIGHT be worth it. There's even a small but existent chance they'll be cheaper if they're 6 year old games, or the devs will give copies out ala Skyrim SE.
Apparently, if Virtual console is anything to go by, they'll probably even pay the shitty upgrade fee too
They only gave out free copies of Skyrim SE for steam users.
consoles are about as popular in japan as they are in america. just scaled down for population.
No.
Home consoles in japan are dead.
Only handhelds remain, and they're barely surviving compared to tablet and phone gaming.
Didn't Persona 5 just become Atlus's best selling game? I don't think that would be possible if consoles are dead in Japan.

what a fucking miss
I know nintendo is retarded sometimes, but I doubt they'd show off Skyrim HD without it being a huge possibility.
Nigger, learnt o stop being a colossal sperg and read the whole post before getting pissy.
