Nintendo Switch Thread Consolidation

[C.Mongler]

i mean people were attracted to the wii because of wii sports and the motion control gimmick, not because it was 'casual easy to get into gaming!!!' per se. my grandparents bought a fucking wii, and it was their first video game console; they still don't even know what a smartphone is. the wii had genius marketing behind it that showed how simple it was to integrate the wii into one's home and family. yes there's a venn diagram of the wii audience and the smart phone audience there for sure, but i don't think the overlap is necessarily as large or direct as you're making it out to be. the wii sold because it offered a compelling "unique" experience that made sense at face value to everyone who saw it and the barrier to entry was extremely small; smart phones don't necessarily do that. i think smart phones are most appealing for the mobile game friendly commuter class, because they already have one anyway and they have to sit on their ass for hours at a time with nothing to do during the day, which is a different appeal than what the wii had. it's more complex than just blanketing things as "casual gaming" is basically what i'm trying to get at lol.

the wii u. on it's hand, didn't have the same "oh wow, look, they're playing TENNIS!! IN THE LIVING ROOM!" instant-connection thing the wii had, not to mention the confusion from the wider audience that didn't know it was even a different console. i had several family and friends, knowing i'm the token gamer, ask me when and where they could pick up that "tablet thing" for their Wiis. anecdotes aside, i wish i could find detailed demographic data for the Wii, but all i'm pulling up is Wii was extremely popular with women 25-35 and not much else; if anyone can find it, i'd love to see it.

this argument is all wild speculation and abstract rationalization anyway lol there's really nothing to discuss without knowing what the nx is or even intends to be lol

well we might not have any hard facts, but we can certainly make inferences based on remarks like this:

oh nintendo, you simply never learn

they are still clinging to the fantasy that they 'don't compete with other platforms' despite being so thoroughly crushed by sony and microsoft (and apple, and samsung, and ouya)

"For us it's about the content. Nintendo is a content-focused company..."

and yet there is a total of six games on wii u, lol

in other words, 'we had literally nothing to show off so have this convenient snippet of pr instead'

[YPrrrr]

i mean it's literally standable, but i don't understand why you would have a preference for 30 over 60 whoops i misread your post and i already typed all this shit up oh well; shit looks mad janky comparatively. especially considering most AAA+ games dip below 30 regularly, which OH GOEUADHGD. like i love bloodborne but holy fuck the framedrops make me nauseous sometimes

[spoiler]>implying my pc isnt complete shit and like i didn't play witcher 3 at 35 fps lolol, can't wait to get my 1080 and play the expansions at a needless 200 fps[/spoiler]

but yeah its night and day m8(make sure u got this bitch set 2 HD)

that's an acceptable tradeoff to me

*vomits a little*

but what are u even trading

trading saving 100 dollars (which will inevitably be eaten by online service fees and console game markup) for inflexible outdated tech?

ANYWAY this is off topic can we return to discussing nintendo's latest polished turd sorry glorious leaders i did not mean to lead us astray

tfw you cant really tell the difference

[C.Mongler]

get your damn eyes checked then YPR lol

[Thyme]

maybe he didn't make sure he got this bitch set 2 hd

[squirrelfriend]

I see a slight difference on my iPhone but no big deal

[YPrrrr]

get your damn eyes checked then YPR lol

Idk it's marginal

[ME##]

i still maintain that 30fps is fine

[C.Mongler]

maybe he didn't make sure he got this bitch set 2 hd

yeah are you guys watching it in full HD? because i think youtube downsamples everything to 30~ otherwise.

i still maintain that 30fps is fine

this reads like my grandmother when she told me she couldn't tell the difference between our first 1080p HD TV and the shitty little 480i box we had in her guest room, "you guys wasted all that money! this is fine!"

black and white was fine too

horses were fine

honestly i was pretty fine with a sharpened rock on the end of a stick
