Weaker than their current console

Only on Nintendo can you stagnate for the sake of gimmicks.

Will this be the last console before nintendo makes the "Switch" to a REAL console like the PC?

...

www.please use archive.is/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-nintendo-switch-spec-analysis

Who actually cares though? How many shitty threads do you need to make on the subject

I personally don't care if the Switch can't produce pictures as pretty as PS4. What I really want are good games, and its to-be-determined if Nintendo can provide good games without fucking it up somewhere.

I'd be okay with that if it's gonna have a lot of good games.
But I wouldn't bet on that either.

As many as it takes until you sheeple channers start hating jewtendo and their happy mean dlc toys and same mario and pokemon and zelda rehashes that come out every year by buying and supporting real companies that care about the core gaming audience like sony and microsoft

Slower clock speed, but if they move from PowerPC to a more modern architecture, that alone will probably do a fair amount of good for them.

We'll probably find out about Switch's real problems in January- we don't know enough about the software for it to know if it will actually have any games at launch (or if most of those games will be much different from what was released on Wii U), we don't know its battery life…We really don't know much of anything about it other than its gimmick and a quick glance at some games for it.


Consumers had to threaten boycott before Microsoft went back on the idea of disc-pairing, always-online DRM, and needing to constantly have a camera attached to boot or function at all for the Xbox One.

I understand what you meant to say, but…Microsoft isn't exactly a gamer's best friend.

Reported.=

Post more Nyotengu.

So, Nintendo is killing Wii U and 3DS at the same time?

...

more like the switch to going straight to fucking cellphone games like they said they were moving to

Okay.

Pretty much all their console designs were based around gimmicks, and the one that wasn't (N64) sold like shit.

Pretty much. I don't know why they say this isn't the successor to the 3DS, what is that supposed to be?

Does the PC version of DOA5 still use the PS3 renderer without the sweat and crotch dirt?

The N64 had problems though like barely any games and cartridges which fucked third party devs over

Nope, the boxer is so sweaty it looks like she just went out of a shower all the time

Well the PS3 version does technically have sweat. I'm referring to the soft engine sweat.

Oh damn, didn't remember that.

What was that thread about again? I'm sure I was present there.

The NES could only be said to use gimmicks near the beginning of its lifespan, and the SNES, N64, and Gamecube were all pretty straightforward (at least, in relation to their competition at the time).

pc is missing ps4 particle effects, levels, and vanilla costume destruction but otherwise has ps4 graphics. soft-engine is 90% marketing shit idiots fell for
but pc has more functional costume destruction with mods like costumes getting destroyed during fights instead of after losing a round

No the stocking dirt and sweat isnt nearly as good.

software drives hardware. There's no point in making better hardware if the software doesn't demand it.
Just take a look at what happened to the vita.

Shit, the worst I expected was a Tegra X1 at stock speeds, not one with half the speed

I guess I can only hope this is an early dev kit, and the final retail will be using Pascal which is more efficient.

You are doing it wrong retard

Too obvious, m8.

Where can I find high-res versions of this stufffor research

Nintendo lost a bunch of stock value for a short time because they announced they weren't giving up consoles and the usual way of games for phone games, you fucking mongoloid. Stay deluded.

Keeping around the 3DS line in case the Switch turns out a failure, like how they kept around the GBA when the DS came out.

You got a console with 5 games and one of them was inbetween gens, what makes you think this one will have more?
What makes you think they'll be good? like Starfox Zero :^)
What makes you think they won't be censored to death?

They won't get software because all the third parties will abandon them.

Cuckchanner detected

First of all consider that these "rumors" are from Eurogamer and Laura Kate Dale, despite popular belief these are NOT believable sources due to the fact that they just got the "leaks" from Nintendo's patents. NVidia has also gone on record saying that "The high-efficiency scalable processor includes an NVIDIA GPU based on the same architecture as the world’s top-performing GeForce gaming graphics cards." So obviously that means they're using Pascal due to the fact that Maxwell is no longer "top performing". Also consider that they don't say it's based on the X1 or anything of the sort, all they say is that it's a "custom tegra chip". which makes sense, and is probably why emily rodgers changed her leaks from "X1" to "Custom" since she knew that Nintendo has never used someone else's chip without modifications.

Another reason to call this rumor bullshit is because of the competition from Sony, Microsoft, Apple and Google. While Nintendo claims they won't compete with either of them, we all know that's bullshit due to the fact that Apple and Google is taking away the casual market while Microsoft and Sony are taking away the core market, and while Nintendo has one of the worst localization teams in the industry, they're not retarded when it comes to their own territory. They know that IF they want to sell this thing at launch then they need to use the latest ARM technology with innovative gimmicks, since ARM is dirt cheap, and the last time they pulled a Wii, it did worse than the GameCube.

So please consider the fact that not only are these rumors bullshit, but to NOT trust Emily Rodgers, Laura Kate Dale, Eurogamer, or any of these "leakers" that stole information from patents or just flat out got lucky. With that said I personally expect the device to be between Xbox One and PS4 in terms of power, since that's where ARM is at right now. Not to mention that ARM chips are dirt cheap.

The vita is alive and well

it even looks fucking retarded in the small reply box

Really? Go into Walmart and count how many vita games you see.

Not necessarily in the physical section, mainly in terms of digital niche releases and weebshit. It's somehow more alive than the Wii U at this point.

...

I rather go into a torrent site and look at the 680 dumped vita games

It's called a niche market you mong. Vita developers know what sells on the system, and in what quantities, giving them a solid target budget. It's the last bastion of norman-free gaming culture since not even Chads are willing to shell out $30 for a console that only has turbo autist weeb titlezls.

It's not denial, it's common sense. Nintendo is trying to appeal to two markets with this thing. Both markets have top of the line hardware to complement their software. Not to mention Emily Rodgers said that Mother 3 would be out by now. Don't believe the lies.

To be fair, GPUs aren't CPUs, and even if the Switch is vastly more efficient it's not going to overcome being clocked nearly 50% lower compared to the Wii U's GPU when undocked. OP's still a faggot, though.

What the fuck? He's Holla Forums for pointing out your formatting?
Take your own advice about boogeymen, mouthbreathing faggot.

Counterpoint
>PS4 and XBone are massive under-optimized to the point that they are releasing "upgraded" and "pro" consoles that still can't run games at 4k or even 1080p 60fps at minimum.

Assuming Nintendo can optimize the shit out of this outdated tech and make it run games like the PS2 did at the end of its lifespan, then it might have the possibility to, yet again, be good in spite of its hardware.

At the end of the day, what really matters is the quality of the games, though.

Not all games ran at 60FPS on Wii U.

The ones that mattered did.

...

Like?

Well, that and Wonderful 101.

Fuck off

So, switch isn't actually a console but a tablet with attachable controller parts, so you can actually play like God intended instead of using your fingers on the screen like a tard?
Will it use normal power cord/charger?
Doesn't 3ds already do all that?
Why are they creating a new handheld now?

It's at least on par with the Wii U and the detachable joycons can provide 2P gameplay on the same device without require any additional controllers or link up to another device. I can see the appeal.

That's nice, what about the video games though?

Downgraded ports of wii u games.

I don't.
Either give me a console or fuck off with ANOTHER gimmick.

Congratulations on being a retard

I am more worried about the durability, tablets and laptops expire after a while, I mean, completely, they begin to decay and stop working.

No dude, we just need a bunch of identical consoles that have the same non-graphical capabilities with the exact same controller inputs.

by the way games are all the same shit lel

Split screen is dead, this isn't the early 2000's anymore.

split screen died because consoles lost the capability to support it.

How do i find someone like Nyotengu to marry and impregnate?

THE MODS DELETED LAST THREAD BECAUSE YOU CANNOT INSULT NINTENDO

This thing is supposed to go on sale in March. I'd wager the hardware is sewn up.

WHERE ARE THE VIDEOGAMES EGGMAN

I DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT SPECS I WANT THE FUCKING VIDEOGAMES

Then why is this thread still up if that's the case?

best joke i've heard all year

Nintendo struggled to deliver titles on the Wii U so I don't really know why anyone would expect a sea change in that department for this next go around.

It will probably get deleted when the nintendrones report the thread as "console wars"
They know this is a disaster of a console they don't want anyone to discuss it.
Just like the Wii U.

Uh, it will have Zelda skyrim edition and that new Sonic 2017 game and that's it.

Here's a more accurate representation of what that game will look like on the Switch.

You fucking worthless reddit-browsing piece of shit.

How mysogynistic of you.

Games > Power
This principle applies to every platform on the market, PC included.

Observe my repeating numerals, >>>/cuckchan/ peasant

Ah the first of the nintenodrones appears.
Seeming to find the need to defend a tablet of a gaming system.

After he is presented argument, he will make more claims of half-chan or reddit and then report the thread for "Console Wars"

Bump

Why consolewars are outlawed again ? If something is bad by default why we can't discuss about it ?

Place your bets:.

Bump

Because back on cuckchan, you had people acting like sports teams posting NEVER EVER, GOLD FACE, and just spamming the shit constantly.

Here its the fanboys getting triggered by objective criticism of their systems and wanting to shut down any discussion unless positive.

Switch?

More like lich.

It even has a phylactery.

If you have to ask you need to leave.

So? Several rumors including the switch being a tablet like device which was portable and could hook into a T.V was true.
Several "rumors/leaks" proved to be accurate.

There is no harm about discussing the implications of the rumors if true and the Switch is such a mess its failure as a system is guaranteed regardless of its ability to perform, the chip it may be the best of its line but its still a tablet chip.

It's always easy to recognize the argument of a fanboy.

Most of the bans are just being reported and a lazy mod banning you without reading your post.

It happens.

If the answer is no to either of these questions, you shouldn't be doing console war shit. It's hard enough to discuss games here as is without retards who care more about the platform a game is released on then the game itself.

Console warriors have only one big goal: turning the board into an echo chamber. That's pure cuckery.

Which is exactly why OPs who can't even provide archives to articles and just keep making the same thread over and over should be beaten with sticks. They make it HARDER to have a real talk about things. You can't pretend this OP is here for a conversation, he's here for console war faggotry. Good OPs make good threads, shit OPs make shit threads. I'm out, I'll see if there is a good thread on this topic.

I truly might hate Shitendon't at this point. I'm just going to wait for Shithouse to get nailed to a cross for their prudish moralfaggot shit.

Are you referring to the time they fired an actual child rape advocate?

Splatoon

I could ask you the same question. Why is mindless sliding and shitposting based on muh feels good?

Of course console wars shitposting is the worst shit possible but when you make a thread criticizing a platform for being bad and get shitposted to death for console wars you can't say it's not a problem.

What the fuck would make you think that's what I was referring to?

I'm talking about how they have retarded feminazi faggots and cunts that shat up things like Fates and completely butchered #FE.

...

It's not criticizing something when you make a "muh nintendoom" thread that piggybacks off of a baseless (albeit probably true) rumor about its processing abilities. The console hasn't even been released yet, and neither have the games, so you're just stirring up shit for no good reason. Consider suicide instead, or at least dumping porn.

>>>/4chan/

...

...

I will comment before I read the thread. I predict you faggots will still defend gaytendo like you always do.

oh wow I was right what a surprise. Also daily reminder the console/PC gaming market is literally worthless and every company is trying to move on to mobile. Your hobby is dead faggots, and greed killed it. Why would anyone spent millions of dollars making games and hundreds of millions in the console market when you can dump 100k into dozens of shitty app games that make even more money for less that 100/th the budget of a big game? Hell, the only reason games will be made now is to promote the brand so the mobile games keep flowing.

>Several rumors […] waswere true
And even more were false. Where's that oval controller with a screen on it? Where's the scrolling wheel shoulder buttons?
There's discussion and there's using rumors as "facts" to fuel shitposting. Guess which one this OP and this thread are more interested in?
Based on fucking what? This rumor that says it's got less Hz than the Wii U but is based on a far better architecture? The only released information of the damn thing is that it's a hybrid console, it's got manlytears-sized controllers, and it uses cartridges. We don't even have concrete info on what games will be on the system other than Legend of Skyrim.
Y'know, if the Switch actually turns out to be a piece of shit then I'll be here shitting all over it. But until we actually see what the fuck it has to offer, all this nintendoom shitposting is pointless brand-warring.

Ever heard of self-moderation?

I am hoping this Nintendo Switch will prompt a Vita release with TV or HDMI out. It was the only stopping me from getting a vita and still is.

you know where you belong

Drumpf chumps btfo

welcome to the world of video games

you mean like the PSTV?
you can get one for $20

I guess this would cancel out rumours of titles like the FF7 remake and the Dark Souls series remaster and that french exclusive def ain't running on Switch hardware, no that I cared for any of those, With the only minimal increase in power over WiiU, I guess this is good for Nintendo, they won't have to increase development costs/ teams and time and produce games, and with this system getting full support from all internal studios there should be no droughts.

At least I know it's going to be cheap like I asked for.

Nintendo better outdo the rumored release lists, and I don't doubt they can with many of their internal studios having had plenty of time between previous releases to have games ready for next year.

Come on Ever Oasis Switch port.

There's no reason for it, there's already a 3DS version. You just want validation for your new paperweight.

imagine is the 3ds had flopped like everyone thought it would, that would have been very interesting to see.

Or because I don't want to buy a 3ds for one game.

Consider suicide.

You'd rather buy a Switch for one game?

Can you fucking read?

get a life

Top retard

Oh I'm sorry did I say I'd buy a Switch solely for Ever Oasis or did I say I was interested in the prospect of an Ever Oasis Switch port.

I'm done with your shit.

...

but that zelda tho fam

3ds is a pretty good console.
freeshop+the fact it uses SD/mSD is enough to make anyone buy it.
I still prefer my vita.

It looked good but the jewmory cards killed off any interest.

Shitty ploy to boost sales for Shitch?
Nintendo didn't deserve you WiiU-chan

Nice marketing guys, talking about their own demise of modern gamers.

I know this is bait but you can easily name like 10 games that the Wii U has while PS4 and Xbone don't have 5 combined that anyone here cares about

Minigame collections and yoshi's casual world aren't games.

This lad

It's hard to remember shit from before you were born.

I didn't have a N64 you faggot. My family was poor so my older sister had a SNES, which I played a lot and then my dad bought a PS1 for me.
My cousin had a N64 but I never saw her boot up the thing, or what happened to it. I did play a session of Smash 64 with my other cousin and his friends once.

And you couldn't at least Google to know what you're talking about and instead opted to act like a retard then get defensive when you get treated like one.
Good plan.

I'm just gonna ignore that you said Google, and ask you a question: how exactly did I act retarded?

I just say stuff based on my experience, I'm not gonna waste my time searching about old consoles just to make a post in an imageboard.

You have to be older than 18 to use this site.

It's not my fault if you can't interpret text, user.

This console is going to end up like the Wii U isn't it?

I don't get it

Pretty sure that even at the reduced clock speeds the Tegra X1 would probably still outperform the Wii U's RV770-based GPU, if only slightly.

Still, how many people actually expected the Switch to beat the Wii U in handheld mode? That's like comparing apples to oranges. It would have been a far more grave concern if it was weaker than the Wii U while docked.

...

...

Much like that controller, I'm going to lose my sides if that's true.

Reported.

Why do console fags always get this butthurt? If you've got this much sand in your vagina over a handheld, maybe vidya isn't for you?

Remember when the DS wasn't the successor to the GBA?

Nintendo thought they could support 3 systems at once.

Do you really think they would admit they can't support 2 systems at once?

I see 0 PC games, does that mean PC is dead? :^)

Tits make life worth living

N64 gimmick was being 3d and 64-bit, and it was absolute shit at them. who cares about texture filtering and antialiasing when it chokes on couple of triangles and textures on screen. while PSX had woobly textures, it left plenty of space for more details.

You seem to be more upset than anyone else.

This is the stupidest shit I have ever read.
Congratulations, you should feel bad.

They just want your money user, and like most corporations will do whatever it takes to get more money out of you while balancing the negative PR. Sony was going to do what said but decided against it because of the backlash it would cause.


The problem is getting devs to make games for their consoles. They'd actually have an easier time getting games for a cheap handheld than an HD console because of the costs of production. Even on the Vita you rarely see even use the system's full capabilities. The majority of them look like gamecube games.


It's true though. Along with branding and hype. The PS1 and PS2 were weaker than the competitors but they got a shitload of games. Same deal with the NDS.

Except the PS2 didn't have obviously inferior graphics and performance compared to its competitors.
The Xbox came out a year or two later and still the PS2 was able to push the same graphical fidelity and performance.

Are you a sonygger? That would explain your denial of reality. ps2 looked and ran pretty shitty compared to xbox and even gamecube.

To be fair it'll be more powerful than the 3DS. I guess even Nintendo couldn't make something worse than that piece of shit.

But does it really matter? Pokémon and Monsterhunter are what people want from Nintendo now not Zelda.

I had all 3 consoles when I was younger as it was not me paying for them.
The Xbox could barely run Halo 2, fucking clipping everywhere all the time.

The Gamecube has maybe 2 decent looking games Prime and Zelda and that was cell shaded.

The PS2 had an abundance of great looking games, just off the top of my head the Monster Rancher games and Monster Hunter.

Devs can good looking games off of weaker hardware once they get used to developing for it. The better looking ps2 games like FFXII came later into the system's life. Compare early and later PS3 or 360 and you'll see a similar trend. Of course you'd actually need devs to develop for you console for that to even happen. Objectively speaking when you compare the chipsets of each to one-another the ps2 is the weakest. Even the Dreamcast was stronger in some areas like color and, I believe, sound.

Pointless I know because memes never die but:

Almost every game in the last 2 years came out on the PS4.

3rd party support is what has kept Sony going since 94. It is why their consoles sell.

So if the same pattern happens for every console then its a moot point.
Regardless of developers skill they will still be limited to a CHIP FROM A TABLET.

Also see this post

...

Do you not simple logic, user?
You've seen a lot of good-looking games on the PS2 because the PS2 has a lot more games in general not necessarily because it's more powerful.

He never said he'd but just disputing the sources, one of which has a grudge against Nintendo for not being invited to their events anymore. They could be leaking only part of the specs to make it seem weak. It's a custom chip. We'll know for sure when the console's released.

The point was that it didn't need to be more powerful it had to be in the ball park.
The XBOX never had a huge advantage graphically.

Where the WII U had a MH game which was literally a 3DS resolution stretched.

Correct it's a chip, I'm getting the same excuses for the Switch that I heard when the Wii-U came out.

You honestly must think everyone else that isn't a Nintendo fan is stupid because I've seen the level that Nintendrones will go too.
I remember when the WII U was being discontinued the same shit happened.

ITS NOT VERIFIED, THIS IS CONSOLE WARS, SAGE SAGE SAGE, WHO CARES!?
Always the fucking same and you think everyone is too stupid to catch on.

Yeah move that goalpost.


Nigger the l've only played PC for the last half-decade. I don't even have a Wii U. The last Nintendo game I played was emulated.


"user, please don't dispute my irrational hateboner that's been triggered by leaks from a clickbait journalist. Fuck I don't even know the difference between specs and how they can be compensated by optimization and graphical style. Just let me be AAAANGRY!"

Oh really can you explain how I moved it? Read my original post.
Stumbling over yourself how embarrassing.
Sure thing bud.


Wew lad.

Nintendo fans never learn. Remember when the Wii U was supposed to use a POWER7 derivative? Remember when those phony "Nintendo Fusion" specs leaked with a POWER8 processor and R2xx GPU? Remember when people were saying NX would use Polaris?

...

Right, other consoles offer so much in the way of progress.

They're at least more powerful than their predecessors. Nintendo can't even claim that.

Wrong
youtube.com/watch?v=lQpQHyIdP4Y

Later parts of the discussion moved onto this.

Whatever sonygger.

Yes, ps4.5 is as powerful as a jet, it even sounds like one.

Right as my original statement, you claimed I moved goalposts now you are proving that I didn't.
Here is a video comparing Tri with MH3 Ult, on two different generations of consoles.

So the difference between the two is similar too the difference between two similar same generations consoles.
Thanks for supporting my argument dumb fuck.
You don't have to be a Sonygger to remember one of the better consoles.

Forgot video, also learn to embed newfag

the ps4 fat is a fucking nightmare.
that system running at full fan speed can heat a room up like nothing else I've ever seen.
I'm convinced sony is slowly trying to enter the space-heater market.

You have to be one to consider ps2 a better console.

You moved goalposts from this. Your first point was so obviously wrong I didn't even consider it.

The argument was that it was weaker. Which is true visually. Across the board.

Because they both supported similar graphics technology, dumb fuck. Even then the performance differences were clearly better on other consoles. The ps3/360 that made shaders common which improved it vastly from the previous generation. The Wii was basically gamecube technology while the Wii U began to support things the PS3/360 were capable of. So you'll see a vast difference there as well in terms of color and shaders.

Explain, shed the light of my ignorance, be the illuminator to my folly, explain to me how the PS2 was a bad console.
Considering it had a vast library of games, exclusives, decent graphics for the time, affordable and wasn't fuck huge like the xbox or retarded like the gamecube.

Moved the goalposts from what? Saying that I didn't move the goalposts.
Here's my statement.

This is your response

This is my rebuttal

Then yours
A few more arguments
Then HERE is where you bring up moving goalposts

=SEVERAL POSTS LATER==
Then when I challenge you explain moving goalposts, you just say I was wrong and show a video which actually supports my argument.

You're fucking clueless kiddo.

No the argument was that the graphics between the consoles were negligible.

The Wii U has graphics the Wii had back in 2007, the Xbox One has vastly superior graphics compared to the Xbox 360, the Xbox 360 vastly superior to the Xbox.
The Wii U has shit that would look bad to someone on LAST GENERATIONS consoles.

Except neither can AA to prevent jaggies, give even true 720 resolution, and the shaders are questionably better to the work around of the older consoles to give the illusion of shade.

This is hilarious, nintendrones really lack any self-awareness.

PS2 is the most influential and impactful video game system to date.
anyone who disagrees is a goddamned child.
GC was overrated shit
Xbox was good but not as good as PS2

How ironic.

the xbox is 18 months newer than the ps2 and its maginally better in your example.
what point are you trying to prove?

That he uses his old Wii controller as a prostate teaser.

That's not my response. Check your eyeballs. Not that the post was entirely wrong wrong.

Again I was responding to this:


They're not


Are you blind or did you not notice the textures and framerates? Between this and getting my posts mixed up with someone else's you might have some problems with your eyes.

It's running a port of Wii game, not a remaster. They're not going to redo an entire game for it. Wii U games like Bayonetta 2 are basically last gen console graphics with better colors.

I don't even have a Wii U. Why does your argument depend on my being a nintendrone?

...

How long will it for Niptendo to go bankrupt?

A very long time.

A opposed to be just being wrong, or are you embarrassed/angry about being refuted so much?
They are and I'm not the only who holds that opinion, you need them to be so you can argue that the graphics of the Wii to Wii U are monumental improvements.
The textures are exactly the same? Are you fucking dumb the games are made with one graphical fidelity, that is then displayed to show better textures better textures would have to be put in, which they aren't.
There is slight improvement in AA.
==YOU CAN LOOK IT UP FOR YOURSELF ON GOOGLE, ONE IS TRI THE OTHER IS MH 3 ULTIMATE, COMPLETELY TWO DIFFERENT GAMES, FUCK ARE YOU STUPID AND IGNORANT OF THE CONSOLE YOU'RE DEFENDING.
Holy fuck dude, you really will go to any length to defend Nintendo.
Because of above, you have no idea what you're talking about, claiming MH 3 ulti was a wii port when it wasn't then claiming Bayonetta being a last gen game with better colors doesn't mean that Nintendo doesn't have a history with under-powering shit.

And that somehow a fucking TABLET CHIP will out perform a console they released in 2013.

ok, but what about the gimmick consoles that did bad? wiiu, virtual boy, shit, the 3ds almost died too. If it weren't for the huge campaign they had to regain hype for the console, who knows where it would be.

Thing is, ninyt thinks it's the gimmicks that are helping consoles, but looking past the gimmicks, people buy the consoles based on the price, power, branding, extra features, and games. xbox broke even in money because the price to make them vs the money made created a tiny profit margin. Virtual boy failed because it wasn't really supposed to be a console, it was like a tech demo that yokoi shat out because he was mad that they wouldn't let him retire.The gc failed because the games they made that people typically get Ninty consoles for were too different from the ones that went before them, wind waker was weird, sunshine was weird, adventures was weird, etc
And the third part titles were not as good as ps2/xbox, plus, the console wasn't as cheap as ps2 for a while. Wiiu failed because none of the games were "cool". The console's for kids, but the families that bought the wii didn't buy it because the advertising made it just seem like an expensive addon for the wii, and the library is so small that it didn't seem necessary to "upgrade" their wii, on top of that there was like no good advertising for it either. The dreamcast was too expensive and the titles were too strange. The advertising that a dying company can put out is always going to be small and risky. Availability was an issue too.

basically, what i'm saying is this: The console's success is not going to depend at all on whatever gimmick they use. I'll admit, i got a 3ds pretty quick after seeing the 3d on it, but i wouldn't have done it if there were no good games. Today I never even use the 3d, and nintendo doesn't even use it as a marketable point in the ads they put out.

Nintendo are ultra Jews user. They've been around for a hundred years. Pokémon still sells, they can always do some more mobile trash. Make some cartoons, license toys.

This time for sure!

I'm actually really surprised Nintendo or Sega hasn't programmed a virtual machine host (like Java or CLR) specifically for their games. They should just do that, and make reference designs for consoles.

Confirmed cuck
How did you not react in anger when they were going to release a handheld with worse graphics, a +$100 pricetage and a fucking gimick no one likes?

I was pissed that the DS i had was going to become irrelevant because they were going to sell all new games on that platform.

EVEN more pissed when they showed the 2ds which was fucking ugly as shit and couldn't fold making it unportable.

Nintendo is nothing but fuck you design choices that only exist to squeeze shekels out of cucks.

Its like the option of not supporting the bullshit they're selling has never occurred to you.

I also had all 6th gen consoles from early on, because back then I had just started my first job and could pay for them (bought a PS2 and Xbox with my first paycheck, and a Gamecube about six months later, good times).
PS2 graphics looked pitiful compared to the Xbox, especially the aliasing which was terrible and very noticeable on any tv. And I don't know what you are on about Halo 2, it runs very well, actually better than the first (better optimization).
It's true that the Xbox didn't have much in the way of exclusives, but had the absolute bestest versions of almost all console exclusive multiplats (only very few exceptions like with NFS Hot Pursuit 2) and even better than the pc versions sometimes. The difference in multiplats wasn't small like in the 7th and 8th gens, in many cases it was 240i+30fps+blurry textures+low draw distances (PS2) vs 480p+60fps+better textures+higher draw distances (Xbox).
I say you are full of shit, son. Looks like you were just a kid back then with fuzzy memories, or just a Sony fanboy.

Is this Honey Select?

user, your retard is showing

Nintendo will never ever again release a powerful, gimmick-free console. I don't see why Nintendfags can't accept this. There will never be another gamecube.

Pokemon belongs to Gamefreak, not Nintendo.

Why are Japanese breasts made out of water instead of flesh?

Wii U ports will more than likely be what you're expecting. MK8 and Sm4sh are expected to be on there with extra content not nearly worth the price tag. And that new 3D mario they teased, but the hype for it seems questionable.


Also these.

This isn't happening, quit being a faggot.
None of the footage in the Switch trailer were from games currently in development, aside from BotW.

As someone who only cares about "core" Mario games when it comes to Nintendo, that's disappointing.

You're a faggot too

Never as long as they continue to fuck over actual long time fans sadly

user I…

Why must the people who model "what if" concept designs be so fucking awful at it? That thing looks like it's going to rewind my DVDs.

Just look at the N64; you have to admit that thing's pretty weird looking for a game console.

Sure thing, nintenyearold

at the time it was the 1st or 2nd most powerful system.

Shocked this is still up. Did Mark's PC break or something?

I can't wait for shitendo to finally die.
