Let's get these things checked off:
Nintendo console, no third party support
Nintendo console, no functioning online system
Fragmented lineup due to Nintendo restricting backward compatibility to games you pay to have 'unlocked' on the NX. I.E. you put in your game and the console will ask you for a nominal $20 fee to emulate it from the Cloud®
Short lifespan, 2-3 years at most as it is a bridge system
$349 launch price
Integrated flash memory capped at 32 GB [18 GB user-accessible] due to 'reasons'
Can support 1.5 Wii u gamepads [the half comes from only being able to support one {1} controller's screen]

rofl so will the wii u be the first nintendo main console to not get a real zelda game???
aside from the virtual boy goowan
best case scenario, it'll be another twilight princess-like situation where both the wii u and the nx share the new zelda with nintendo heavily favoring the nx version
in either case it'll be the only nintendo console sans virtual boy to never have gotten an exclusive zelda
What reason is there to believe that NX is a non-portable home console with specs exceeding and replacing Wii U?
3DS is the one that is nearing the end of its lifecycle. It's been out for over 4 years and has already been milked of all the typical first-party releases and hardware refreshes. If a successor is formally announced in 2016 (Nintendo claims it won't reveal NX this year), it might release around early 2017 or maybe, at earliest, late 2016, which would bring 3DS's life expectancy on par with DS's.
I think there have been some rumors claiming NX is a "merge" between handhelds and home consoles. Even if that really is the case, I think we'd be seeing hardware much more on the handheld side.
NX is just their new updated gamepad with a screen for the Wii U

Quote from: iwataI will not share details on NX today but with regard to the launch of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U not necessarily having progressed well and not acquiring sufficient support from software publishers, we intend to offer NX through a Nintendo-like solution. Thank you for understanding that we are making various considerations and preparations in order to avoid what happened with the previous generations.
it wasn't strictly the lack of games
it was the abortion of """marketing""", which they still have not addressed, which in tandem with all of nintendo's other faulty reasoning led to a pitiful library and userbase
it's not that most of the 100 million wii owners have consciously decided not to purchase a wii u, it's that the vast majorty of them still don't even realize that it exists
if nintendo's entire marketing team hasn't been taken out back and shot after the two consecutive strokes of sheer brilliance that were wii u and '''new''' 3ds, nintendo deserves to fail yet again
this interview also de facto confirms that zelda u
will be an nx launch title, as if we needed any more evidence of that

tfw just got a wii u not so long ago

i'll take my money now
There have been more reports of NX's potential CPU this week: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/07/speculation_grows_that_amd_will_provide_the_nintendo_nx_processor
If NX uses a custom AMD x86 APU, it'd be very closely comparable to PS4/Xbone, but would surely use a one- or two-generations-newer chip design. I imagine this hardware would greatly help Nintendo's ability to bring back third parties, but it's not necessarily more powerful than PS4/Xbone, depending on unconfirmed details like clock/cores.
I have doubts that NX will manage backwards compatibility with Wii or Wii U, considering that PowerPC in consoles is dying. While I seriously doubt it, I imagine it's possible they'd make a dual-CPU system with both x86 and PowerPC.
If they do have any sort of dual-CPU setup, I'd much more quickly expect it to be with ARM. They've already used dual-ARM on DS and 3DS.
There have been some claims in the past that NX will be some sort of bridge between consoles and handheld. Some of the ways I imagine that could manifest include: (I like option 1 best)
1. Some sort of shared software/development platform, so developers can use one devkit to easily produce something for both hardware platforms (like Android), but this doesn't necessarily mean every game has to support both.
2. The console can natively play games built for the handheld, but not vice-versa (would probably require dual x86+ARM console)
3. Remote play
4. No home console, just an underpowered handheld which can switch to being console-like when you connect video-out; x86 chip makes me doubt this option, but not rule it out entirely, considering there are cheap Atom smartphones
5. Nothing but a shared account system

tbh that's how perception of time seems to work for gaming this generation
It's how long PS4 and Xbone owners had to wait to get any games. It's how long Wii U owners had to wait for Mario Kart and Smash Bros.
Also, let's add one more game to the "not until NX" list: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-08-17-super-mario-galaxy-3-opportunity-as-hardware-technology-gets-better-and-advances
Surprisingly, it sounds like Miyamoto complained about the GamePad requiring additional processing power, producing what he calls 120 frames per second (but, really, GamePad's 480p frames shouldn't require nearly as much power as the TV's HD)

sometimes i can't help but wonder how miyamoto hasn't yet been gunpei yokoi'd
this is the same reason being floated around to justify star fox looking like absolute shit
the wii u was purportedly
designed from the ground up to be able to support dual screens, with miyamoto himself playing a huge roll in its r&d,
and now he's complaining that it's too weak to do precisely what it was designed to do and simultaneously support two screens????????and at 480p, no less, lmao
how absolutely fuck;
ing idiotic is nintendo's hardware development staff
how could a team of intelligent experienced designers of digital technology have such bewilderingly little foresight
it's simply inexcusable
the sheer incompetence being demonstrated out of nintendo hq for the past four years has been perfectly ineffable
miyamoto has literally no right to be complaining about anything, aside from his and nintendo's own flagrant stupidity, and should they continue down this path into the nx era then i will dance on the day of their bankruptcy
Quote from: Tectron on September 07, 2015, 06:12:09 PM

Iwata died two months ago
Hiroshi Yamauchi died two years ago
Gunpei Yokoi died 18 years ago
Miyamoto is really the biggest name Nintendo has left. And nothing has been anywhere near as big a failure as Virtual Boy was; even if Wii U hasn't been wildly popular, I think Nintendo's still operating with net positive profit from it.
well he'd better watch out
if i were miyamoto i'd be sleeping with two eyes open
also i can't wait for super mario galaxy to become the """new""" super mario bros of the 3d mario series 5thgrade;
So miyamoto in two years?
then reggie
Nintendo should just become 3rd party already.

https://www.khronos.org/members/contributors/nintendo-co.-ltd
Not the most surprising news, but Nintendo recently joined Khronos Group as a contributor. It's the group that develops and standardizes OpenGL and Vulkan. The existing members include Sony, Microsoft, Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Valve, Google, Apple, Blizzard, Unity, etc.
Being a contributor grants "full API working group participation and voting rights, and generous marketing benefits.", so I imagine joining now implies they're heavily invested in the future developments of graphics APIs
I'm pretty sure Nintendo has already been using OpenGL for a long time, but it's also entirely probable they're offering Vulkan as an alternative for NX, which might help third parties a little and help improve the system's perceived graphical performance.
nitendo could offer to do the programming for third parties, but it wouldn't solve the problem that people who buy nintendo hardware don't buy third party software

So I wonder if the current VC collection will be available on the NX from the start and if you'll be able to just download your collection without having to buy them again or having to port and wipe your data from the Wii U. And I wonder if you'll have to make a new account or if they're keeping the current system…
Also, I just realized that Nintendo is skipping a couple or so version numbers and going straight to Nintendo10.

by contrast, the 3ds and wii u together are in the 65 million range and will be lucky to hit 75 million (the vast majority in 3ds sales) by the time they're replaced, less than 1/3 of the 7th gen total
also, the original gameboy line had the advantage of being on the market for well over a decade before being succeeded by the advance, plus its sales are combined with those of the gameboy color
the gameboy advance's sales at 81 million are far more impressive when you consider it was only on the market for <4 years before the ds was introduced

another fun fact: the 7th gen is the only generation in which every single competing platform was a resounding success

lol this guy thinks nintendo's shareholders would let them just drop the game on the wii u
nah i'm pretty sure it'll come to both just like tp exactly a decade ago
but i'm also sure nintendo will favor the nx version
That's a very questionable source
As for categorizing the points they give...
It goes without saying:
* Mario/Zelda/DK/etc (every Nintendo console gets at least one game or spinoff for each)
* Nintendo Network
* Web browser
* HDMI cable
* Some games are 60fps
Everything else could be just speculation or repeating existing rumors.
* 4K Netflix support is pretty likely if they use a GPU that can support HDMI 2.0 (typical consoles can easily handle all the other requirements). I wouldn't be surprised if PS4 gets a hardware revision for 4K too.
* 900p/60fps sounds like maybe the numbers for one particular console game, which isn't especially great and worth advertising. There shouldn't be any doubt the console can support 1080/60 for at least a few games, like Wii U.
* 900p/60fps could also be display specs for the handheld, which seems a bit high to me but not unbelievable. I'd sooner expect 360, 480, 540 or 720p.
* I find Wii/WiiU backwards compatibility unlikely, considering PowerPC's fate and the likely move to x86
* Sensor bar can also simply mean it'll continue supporting Wiimotes as secondary/optional controllers, which is a reasonable guess to make
* NX is supposedly just the codename. I'd imagine a report with details like these should know its final name.

if this is to be believed, i'd imagine that the nx is getting a smash GOTY edition at launch with all the DLC (or you would hope but it's nintendo so who fuckin knows). highly doubt it's an original smash

Would be a smart move to do so and if true confirms no backwards compatibility for Wii U games.
yeah wouldnt be bad. ESPECIALLY if the NX is where Nintendo FINALLY gets their shit together when it comes to online capabilities, it would be a great way to show case being able to play nintendo gaems with your friends

Nintendo is already done with friend codes. DS and Wii are the only systems that use per-game friend codes, while 3DS is the only system that uses a console-wide friend code.
Wii U introduces Nintendo Network IDs, which are actual usernames. Anybody who knows your username (or even finds you on Miiverse) can simply send a friend invite, which you'll get a notification for that you can accept, just like any other sane online friends system.
Starting in March, Nintendo's going to transition Nintendo Network IDs over to a new system called "Nintendo Account", which retains those features but adds more things like mobile support, a shared cross-platform friend list, a rewards system, cloud saves, and more.
There's no reason to believe Nintendo's next system's won't launch with software designed to use Nintendo Account for all community, purchasing, and management features.
eh, they'll fuck it up somehow

I think there's nothing wrong with Wii U's friend system. I don't expect them to regress at all in terms of that functionality.
As for other features outside friends? Yeah, there's plenty of baffling decisions in NNID features that have a high chance of not being fixed with Nintendo Account or NX, like:
* Can't sign in to a single account on more than one console of each product line (for now: one Wii U and one 3DS)
* On a system that supports multiple user accounts (Wii U), you can't transfer individual accounts between devices
* Very limited cross-buy, not even available on any of the VC games (like NES) that both platforms have. On the small few items that support it (Smash DLC and Mario vs DK), it's not automatic and you have to manually enter a download code on the other platform.
New features also have potential for being screwed up, of course, like maybe the "cloud saves" will be super limited.
i mean i havent investigated any of the wii u's account features since launch, but the fact that your account is tied to the system is fucking dumbfounding enough. i mean it works i guess, but it seemed like it was designed by someone with no experience in setting up such a system before. the fact that they're nearly a decade late to making a competent console account system doesnt exactly build my confidence that the nx's online account infrastructure will even be as good as say, the launch xbox 360's. because at this point it still isn't.

[spoiler]i fuckin hope not lol[/spoiler]
yeah i am saying 'wow, that looks like a pile of dog shit; thankfully i'm enlightened and can't be tricked by nintendo'
the fact that it's so faithful to the patent image should be a dead giveaway that it's a bad fake made by an absolute moron
nintendo may be stupid, but it's not so stupid that it would design a console with a display that would be almost completely obscured by the player's hands 99% of the time
[spoiler]
then again, they really did release the n64 controller...........[/spoiler]
that patent was proof of concept, the final product isn't literally going to be exactly that lol
it's not 100% faithful though; like i said it is slightly different because it doesn't have the handles on the bottom. plus if it's really it's likely from a dev kit, and early dev kits by and large look like ass and are usually significantly cleaned up before the launch of the consumer unit. take the wii U for example:
(http://nintendoenthusiast.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/wiiudev.jpg)
plus like you said, nintendo does crazy retarded shit all the time. n64 controller, DS (eventually, yes, was a success, but holy shit did it get grilled at launch), Wii (same thing as DS), and once again Wii U, are all decent examples
but i'm hopin' I'M PRAYIN' this isn't real, because holy shit this looks like it's unintuitive as fuuuuuuuck
dev kits are always rough and the n64 controller is clumsy but neither is quite as mind-bogglingly impractical as an irregularly shaped display wildly perforated with input devices that would be completely covered by the hands anyway
i mean that doesn't even make sense lol
hey i dont disagree man lol
also the lighting of that ""'display""" isn't uniform at all, it's a static image overlaid onto what's probably a hollow plastic shell with an led or smth on the inside
in other words, an extremely low effort fake lol
there's clearly an overhead light bud, it would do that lol sike, it's the sunglare in UE demo lol

yeah i mean i really hope there's an ace up their sleeve if this is real such as full portability, i just dont how thats technologically possible with a device this teenie. but yeah no face buttons? WHYYYYYYY controls with no feedback feel wrong
Here's a wild idea
Make a console where the controller is a slightly tweaked GCN controller. It was literally their best controller and they should just go back to that.
Increase the sensitivity of the shoulder buttons, maybe add pressure sensitivity to the joy sticks.
Make shit like motion sensitivity OR A GIANT FUCKING TABLET secondary features to producing games and a quality console that can compete. The "wii remote" should be the accessory to the controller, not the other way around.

like how they deleted useless Nintendo Wifi Connection spam;
If Nintendo wants their next console to not be a flop it needs to actually have decent specs instead of relying solely on gimmicks and "lol grapfix dont matter'. No one is going to drop another 300 dollars on last gen graphics and a new gimmick when they can spend a little more on a powerful console that can also probably implement most of the gimmicks anyhow.
and online gameplay needs to be fixed. They're now 10+ years behind sony & microsoft for whatever reason.

I'm guessing they will go for somewhat competetive specs this time around, if we can get an xbone for $300 the NX will probably cost similarly and be abut the same power as well, likely more powerful in many areas but less powerful in a few as well.
I'd be good with an improved gamecube controller as well, but I'd also be totally fine with an improved wii remote. that first "leaked photo" didn't convince me, but those new ones look potentially maybe real. I actually think it looks kind of sleek and nice, but no buttons would be a bummer. there's a rumor of scrollwheel-style rotating shoulder buttons too, and you can maybe kinda make that out in one of those pictures as well.
yeah there's def some shouldies in there
i mean this shit needs to be same specs as ps4 and no more than 399.99 at launch or it's DOA. i'm hopeful though since that last image had it running the UE4 demo, which means it's probably on par with 'CURRENT GEN'. though i'm not even sure thats enough at this point with the rumors that they are making upgraded units to support 4k and VR n shit n_u
I hate it
the wii U is already somewhere between the PS3 and PS4 as far as I can tell, so I think graphics competing with the current gen is completely reasonable. the ps4 and xbone have been around for over 2 years now, and the NX seems to kind of be nintendo's gen 8.5 system to the Wii U's gen 7.5.
the 4k thing is probably where nintendo will stop though. if sony does release a PS4K it will likely piss off a lot of people, but would likely put Nintendo at the bottom power-wise once again (though not by as much and this is assuming Microsoft does something to bump their resolution as well)

I'd hope that controller is a fake. While it has a "cool sleek" design, it doesn't look comfortable to hold at all.
There's a reason why the GCN, all the dualshocks, 360 controller, steam controller, etc all have the "wings" where the user's palms would be. It's a more comfortable grip and aids with weight distribution. There's a different feel of holding one of these controllers for hours from holding a slightly more ergonomic iPhone.

I mean it kinda looks like it has a curved bottom, and to me looks like a rounded super nintendo controller or a ps vita. I wonder if there's no "wings" on it because that would lock your hands into one position, when you need to be moving your thumbs around the screen perhaps?
also there's that old rumor of it doubling as a portable system, which this looks like it could do pretty well.

But a video would add more legitimacy. So if your thinking people are going to cry fake at the pictures too then there's no reason not to take the video. (Other than the concerns of people getting your identity.)

Rayman confirmed for smash guys cmongler;
Suddenly I am reminded of old boyah
even though this has a very good chance of being fake and i'm concerned about the lack of any buttons, I kinda like this. being so much smaller and having a capacitive touch screen would basically just make this a vastly better gamepad. looks much more comfortable to me too
the scrolling shoulder button thing just makes no sense to me though
call me a delusional denialist but i don't believe for a second that those ugly things are anything but bad fakes designed by amateurs who have no understanding of design philosophy whatsoever and simply saw the patents and associated images and copied them nearly 1:1
that second """leak""" is just opportunistic mimicry
why would the same nintendo who has tirelessly defended the continued existence of its handheld consoles and so adamantly refused to port its games to """smart""" devices with countless statements like this:
Quote from: Iwata 2011Whenever we make a new game console, we’ve done it without throwing away buttons and the directional pad. The reason for that it’s better to have them, because buttons and directional pads benefit gameplay response.
http://gamerant.com/nintendo-wii-2-controller-buttons-case-81818/
and this:
Quote from: Tanabe 2014With games like Mario and Donkey Kong, the control input is such an important part of that; I think if you’re trying to replicate that feeling of control that you have traditional to those games, translating those to a smart device, that’s a just a really, really difficult task.
http://wiiudaily.com/2014/03/nintendo-no-mobile/
and:
Quote from: Iwata 2015Smart devices have no physical buttons. Playing games such as 'Super Mario' cannot be enjoyed.
http://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/64826
etc., suddenly decide that touch screens alone, even elliptical ones at that, are perfectly sufficient, practicality be smeared in shit and absolutely damned
if this thing IS actually real, ninnytendoh is done before they even begin this new console
i mean it has dual analog sticks still, which are in line with every one of those quotes lol

what if this weird controller thing is nx portable and the nx itself just uses gamecube controllers with the option to use the weirdo or some shit maybe thats the deal thatd be kind cool right
This was posted by the source of the pictures:
Quote
Only the upper 'nubs' of the sticks move. The bottom part is static (kind of like the circle pad, but it moves along the bottom 'sphere'.
The rollers on the top feel and look pretty much identical to a mouse scroll-wheel. Though I do don't believe this will be the final design.
Haptic feedback is feels like Apples 'taptic' engine. Not like regular rumble.
3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom
QuoteTo clarify, this is the controller unit for the console.
Dev-kit, so it's not the final design, obviously.
also people have managed to trace the source to a Swedish developer, most likely Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment, which is behind Tom Clancy's The Division

Pokémon Sun and Moon are releasing for 3DS near the end of this year. Pokémon is pretty much the biggest portable game series ever in terms of sales numbers.
but, of course, that says nothing about whether 3DS is out the door: Gamefreak has a history of releasing games on older platforms and being slow to move to new systems. Black&White just barely released before 3DS did and BW2 released like a year later, still on DS. Emerald released for GBA in most regions after the DS has already released.
Third parties like Capcom are still supporting 3DS with new games this year, too.

yeah but thats like next month; pokemon is the only major future title i can think of per bluaki, and i'm more pessimistically excited about star fox than that (but i'm also not that into pokemon anymore so to each their own). there's also that kirby game too, but kirby games are never really like game-changing or anything
i'm just saying they both have really inauspicious release schedules; admittiedly the 3ds isnt AS BAD as the wii u but it's still not particularly exciting or promising. i mean i guess nintendo has been doing this weird announce things are coming like no more than 6 months prior thing as of late, but i'm not really getting the feeling there's plans to continue with the 3ds more than maybe another year based on how light the release calendar for the system is. it just seems like they're trying to bring the sellable shit over from japan and wrap up some on-going projects at this point and then time to MOVE ON TO THE NEXT
which is fine, the 3ds has had a great run i think
I think Sun&Moon releasing for the 3DS, at least, implies there will be another pair of Pokémon games also on 3DS like a year or two later, since they are the beginning of a new Pokémon generation.
Nintendo's lately been super quiet about any plans beyond more than like 4 months in the future, so it's hard to really say nothing's coming when the fact is we wouldn't know if there was. Pretty much all the lineup we know about now from them is Kirby and "Metroid". That said, they don't have many recurring game series left that they haven't already fulfilled 3DS's game quota with. Plenty of Marios, two Kirbys, two Zeldas, two Zelda remakes, two Animal Crossings, a Smash Bros, two Fire Emblems, etc.

we need a new f-zero

well it must not have been so obvious before because you're the one who brought the 3ds up lol
because it's going to be replaced in max 2.5 years, if even that lol. that's it.

i wouldn't even give it that much tbh

The problem is, nintendo hasn't seen major success on a home console since the Snes until the Wii.
So they keep trying to recreate that success, and keep making worse and worse "innovations."
they want success? i've got an ez idea, VR-based fuck-robot BOOM fucking billions for nintendo

Nintendo NX: Console Rumored to Be More Powerful Than PlayStation 4, Report Says
Report: A Rumor says Nintendo's next console might be more powerful than a current gen console! BREAKING

eh yes and no? depends on the quality of textures, other bullshit, and if the game uses in-engine cutscenes. 4k video is YUGE. i recently edited a project in 4k video and besides nearly killing the pc i was working on, the like 2 hours or so of footage we had was like 300 GBs. but yeah games already can run in 4k on pc and look pretty spiffy and they aren't like, obscene, if you don't consider like 90gbs obscene lol. but they also aren't specifically made with 4k in mind either at this point, so basicaly

it's a ps4 that plays mario games
also i think those rumors are basically akin to "MY DAD WHO WORKS AT NINTENDO TOLD ME..."
because he doesn't understand that remote play on ps4 now officially works on pc/mac
well he's got that tier system so it's "MY THREE DADS WHO WORK AT NINTENTO TOLD ME"

however, the offtopic discussion is a cesspool worse than reddit tho
also on gaming discussion on reddit:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOqb_UzJSUQ&feature=youtu.be[/youtube]
i already own a ps4: that's why it's a negative for me
i think it's a positive for people who don't own a ps4 though.
by the time it's released, i guess we'll have the ps4k out that will outclass it.
the gamepad rumor doesn't negatively detract from my impression of the nx, but i just don't think it's any different from how the other consoles do off-tv play. it won't be a system seller.
but playing devil's advocate:
will it have 3rd party support finally? well the architecture would be current enough so very likely.
if it can undercut the ps4's price and finally put home consoles back in japanese living rooms, i think it could indeed succeed.
If Nintendo DOES match/surpass the PS4 in terms of power I may shed a small tear of happiness.
felt did you even read those rumors, they claim it's about as powerful as the rumored ps4k specs, and the remote play would work on a handheld and anywhere (feel like that one might be bs though, how on earth would they accomplish that) not just on a PC or Vita with a local connection

i did and i think my point still stands. ppl won't buy if the price is set too high
i don't want to use a proprietary handheld for remote play because well cinderblocks don't make good controllers
also i can connect to my ps4 in norfolk from dc without any noticeable lag so again, how is that different from remote play
why can't it just cache the useful game files onto the handheld? i think that would be a useful improvement over remote play so if you have shaky internet it'll still work well. but that doesn't look like that's happening given that it has no processing capacity at all...

nx won't be any different
remember how shaky nintendo wi-fi connection was and nintendo kept saying CHECK YOUR ROUTER. It'll be p. much THAT all over again.
also locally, the ps4 works better than the wii u
you just need to turn on the ps4's direct connect if you are having problems
also like i don't see the utility of playing video games at a partner's house in the first place. like let's just watch netflix and chill. not me drooling in front of a video game
if remote play is the same as the ps4 and xbone though, i would not knock that against the nx btw
i just hope it has games i like. i'm not into the traditional nintendo system sellers like zelda and mario i'm VERY counterculture. give me animal crossing.
i just hope the handheld is ergonomically designed better than the vita or the current wii u gamepad, or that nintendo will release a dongle that will allow me to play via my laptop.
Announcement from tonight's shareholder meeting: NX is releasing in March 2017 worldwide. It won't be out in time for the holiday season.
[spoiler=full quote from Nintendo PDF]
Quote(2) Outlook for fiscal year ending March 31, 2017
For Nintendo 3DS, we will release Pokémon Sun/Pokémon Moon globally in winter of 2016 (holiday 2016 in the U.S. and late 2016 in Europe). These are the latest titles from the Pokémon series, which has sold 200 million units worldwide since the first title from the series released 20 years ago. We will also release a number of titles including Kirby: Planet Robobot and Metroid Prime: Federation Force. Strongly anticipated titles from third-party publishers are also scheduled for release. With the release of these titles, we will re-energize the platform and aim to expand our reach globally to a broad audience, including female and younger consumer demographics.
For our dedicated video game platform business, Nintendo is currently developing a gaming platform codenamed “NX” with a brand-new concept. NX will be launched in March 2017 globally.
As for amiibo, we will continue to expand the product lineup in order to maintain momentum. At the same time, we will aim to further expand sales by offering new gaming experiences with the use of amiibo. For our content download business, we will continue to offer appealing additional download content that enhance the characteristics of each game. We believe this will keep games actively played and maintain their popularity. Also, for our smart device business, following Miitomo, we will continuously release new apps in order to expand the revenue base as a business.

lmfao it's even worse than anyone could have expected
not only is the wii u losing its one and only zelda game (making it the only nintendo console without an exclusive zelda aside from the virtual boy), and not only was that game delayed for a full year the sole purpose of porting it onto a new machine, but now it's getting yet another delay into 2017 long after the wii u will have been otherwise dead and abandoned for the purpose of enticing idiots to buy the nx
even the year-long """delay""" of tp for the wii's launch wasn't quite this egregious

then again, this March release date is also going against expectations, like they're just disregarding the idea of holiday launches

This doesn't necessarily imply that.
If you combine this with the weird claim that Nintendo won't showcase NX at all during E3, it makes sense that they wouldn't show NX-exclusive games yet.
Nintendo has lately in general been extremely hesitant to actually show anything about a game more than a few months before it releases.
Regardless, this says nothing about third-party support at launch.
Why do you expect console launches with multiple big releases accompanying it? The last couple generations haven't had much of anything at launch but ports, quickly-forgotten exclusives, and Wii Sports.
Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Nintendo is ready to release Pikmin 4 next March. That's an entirely-possible launch title. They've already claimed that Pikmin 4 is almost done.

Nintendo has lately in general been extremely hesitant to actually show anything about a game more than a few months before it releases.
this, to me, is just an unbelievably transparent excuse
this """new policy""" of only announcing games six months before launch gives them plausible deniability whenever they're questioned about whether or not games exist at all
their e3 2015 was anemic not because of some new change in policy, but because in all honestly they had absolutely nothing to demo for the wii u as they were in the midst of abandoning it
pretending that they suddenly take issue with announcing games a year or more off was just a convenient cover
before last year they never had any issues with discussing games years before release, zelda itself is a testament to that lol
so there's little doubt in my mind that the reason they're not going to be showing anything else off for the nx this e3 is simply that they won't have anything else of note prepared, unless they plan on attending some other game show later in the year with new titles
so for the nx's launch we'll get zelda, some cheap mario spin off, a couple of other low-key first parties and maybe some ps4/xbox one ports we all played two years ago if we're lucky

Iwata says Wii will avoid major droughts that plagued GameCube. (March 2007)
“When we launched GameCube, the initial sales were good, and all the hardware we manufactured at that time were sold through. However, after this period, we could not provide the market with strong software titles in a timely fashion. As a result we could not leverage the initial launch time momentum, and sales of GameCube slowed down. To avoid repeating this with Wii, we have been intensifying the software development, both internally at Nintendo and at developers outside the company, in order to prepare aggressive software lineup for Wii at and after the launch.” says Iwata. He then says, ”We believe it is important to provide the market with strong software without a long interval in order to keep the launch time momentum.”

Iwata promises that 3DS will avoid major droughts that plagued Wii and DS.
“It’s important that you be able to supply software with no pause,” said Iwata. “With the DS and Wii, following the titles that were released at launch, the momentum dropped when there was a gap in software releases. We’re making plans so that this type of thing won’t happen.”

Iwata promises that Wii U will avoid major droughts that plagued 3DS and Wii.
“ As we learned a bitter lesson with the launch of the Nintendo 3DS, we are trying to take every possible measure so that the Wii U will have a successful launch.”
“The company was unable to launch much-anticipated first-party titles for the Wii nor for the Nintendo 3DS in a timely fashion in the first half of the term. In the game platform business, creating momentum is very important, but the momentum was once lost, and it has had a large negative effect on our sales and profits.”

It can help hide the lack of upcoming games, but they have been announcing new things after E3 that release only a couple months later.
Twilight Princess HD and Kirby Robobot are two recent examples. Each announced only about 2-4 months before releasing.
It's not like NX will launch with absolutely nothing but one Zelda game. As usual, they'll probably at least have something showcasing whatever gimmicks they add this time and at least one of their other franchises with short production times.

Those quotes reference two separate issues: a lackluster selection of launch titles and periods of time (after a successful launch) during the console's life that have a glaring lack of notable games.
Gamecube had a great launch between Melee, Pikmin, and Luigi's Mansion. Their issue there was, apparently, things slowing down after that.
When describing Wii, they mention delays as the problem. I don't know what else that references besides Brawl.

it will launch simultaneously; one would hope that would mean at the NX's launch lol
Tec, I'm not sure why you think Zelda is the only game Nintendo is working on considering it's clear like 80% of their dev teams are working on unannounced secret shit considering there's like 3 Nintendo games on the horizon currently. It would make sense that they're putting their entire weight into NX software development at this point. n_u

I think NX is okay but it's definitely not the final name. Also it's probably going to be related in some way to the new gimmick so the name and system will likely be shown at the same time.
And Tec/Blu, I'm pretty sure it's correct that the NX is not being shown at E3, only Zelda U. Hopefully the game is worth it, and I'm kind of hoping/half-expecting the NX version to just be a simple port with a few extra features like Twilight Princess did, which would make the Wii U version worth getting at the least.

i was pretty confident the nx would arrive in 2016 guaranteeing the new zelda in the same year, i did not anticipate that nintendo would be bold enough to artificially delay the game yet again in the case of a 2017 nx launch
the bizarre timing makes me suspect that the original plan for the nx and zelda actually was 2016, but for whatever reason the console got delayed into 2017, taking the zelda game that would otherwise have been complete as far back as 2015 along with it

also the Wii U isn't losing it's one and only Zelda game, in fact I'm p. sure you can play every main series Zelda game on it, as well as some of the portable titles, plus Hyrule Warriors
it's losing its one and only exclusive zelda, the only would-be zelda in its library that actually matters
the wii u's other zelda titles include shitty $2 outsourced spinoffs and incredibly lazy rereleases of games we all purchased and played a decade+ ago, all meant to pull the wool over the eyes of fans as nintendo retooled what would have been the wii u's flagship title for its successor lol
now it's confirmed: the wii u is the only nintendo console aside from the virtual boy without its own zelda game
(http://m.memegen.com/tf70ye.jpg)
Hyrule Warriors = not shitty
In fact, it's better than the last main Zelda title, for what that's worth goowan
fuck you man, hyrule warriors is kinda cool but kinda tedious like any dynasty warriors game
skyward sword was fuckin good

Not saying SS is bad, so......

So, cartridges?
They have better load times than CDs. Member when people complained how many loads there were with the Wii U?
Yeah, tech has progressed enough that NAND based storage (on "carts") is significantly faster and more efficient than disk based storage.
When everything moved from carts to disks in the 90s, it it was because solid state storage was many times more expensive than optical media. Think of how long it took for a good priced 128mb USB drive to become reasonably priced. It'd be much cheaper to use a 700mb disk. Then DVD and BluRay came out and solid state shit now had to compete with 4GB media and then 64gb shit.
It still had a speed advantage but the size was too expensive. Now we're at a point where we can reasonably price the storage for equivalent, if not greater, storage and nearly instantaneous loadtimes.
I've been wanting them to move onto to flash drives or something instead of straight to digital downloads. Especially with the size of some of these games.
SUPER CHEAp, SUPER CHEAP, ITS SUPER CHEAPY
no you're super cheap
also true

Now we're at a point where we can reasonably price the storage for equivalent, if not greater, storage and nearly instantaneous loadtimes.
"AAA" third-party game developers love making bloated games, though.
I don't doubt you can get 8GB or maybe 16GB of flash memory mass-produced for not very much more than discs cost, but what about the 50GB that developers are already used to relying on for dual-layer Blu-Rays? Or the 128GB for BDXL? ROM prices go much higher if you require high speed.
At least, Nintendo is fairly good at making their games fit on reasonable storage requirements. Even SSBU, which is probably their most content-heavy Wii U game so far, fits in less than 16GB, while others take less like Mario Kart 8 with 5GB or Mario 3D World with 1.7GB. Wii U supports the full capacity of a Blu-Ray, but it only has like 30GB internal storage for digital games which Nintendo probably designed for.
yeah i think carts might be kinda cool but i'm wondering how they're going to get larger games on a cart cheaply
i wonder if maybe the carts would be for the "portable" part of the system and the larger/console games (or rest of the game or something idk) would be downloaded
Quote from: .............................. on May 06, 2016, 07:48:40 PM
So, cartridges?
i'll believe it when i see it
nintendo would be absolutely stupid (lol) to return to anything like cartridges for a home console because solid state media is STILL vastly more expensive than optical media
that hasn't changed since the n64 days and really isn't likely to change ever
rom prices aren't really readily available to the general public but if we judge by things like flash memory vs blu ray discs, the cost per gigabyte for flash is literally about ten times higher than it is for discs
yeah sure nintendo would get wholesale prices on rom or flash chips but they get wholesale prices on discs too
suddenly the cost of publishing a game on a nintendo console would be whole dollars higher for third parties than it would be to publish the very same game on rival platforms, just like in the n64 days, and if they hope to recover much needed third party support they can't afford to disincentivize them by using some needlessly expensive distribution format

this was true even back in the n64 days too though
the problem was cost per storage unit, which while it has shrunk considerably it hasn't disappeared entirely
consumer prices for flash storage are still an order of magnitude higher than for optical storage

There have been so many conflicting "leaks" about NX processing power being reported from "very reliable sources"
One leak claimed it's not at all competitive with PS4/Xbone in terms of power
Another leak claimed it's x86/AMD and well above PS4/Xbone in terms of power
Another claimed that the console is ARM and well below PS4/Xbone performance
Another claimed again that it's AMD and more powerful than PS4/Xbone, perhaps on par with PS4K
The most recent one claims that it's ARM, running NVIDIA Tegra (well below PS4/Xbone in performance) and that the console will be revealed at E3 2016.
I doubt the NVIDIA rumor in particular, considering Nintendo has been using ATI GPUs for 15 years now in consoles and all their handhelds' ARM chips have been manufactured in Japan, not to mention an E3 mention that directly contradicts one of the very few things that Nintendo has said.
I hope Nintendo comes up with something amazing. I doubt it though because they are so far behind the game in so many ways. Glad I didn't buy a Wii U. And I won't buy another of their game consoles until they make huge improvements.
I don't understand all the stuff you guys talk about but I do see the end product as crap. Here's to an amazing E3.
i don't understand anyone who buys a console, period lol they're all fucking bad
i can't afford a nice pc rig so i rather buy a console that will have a reasonable shelf life and can expect to have games that will run on it through its lifecycle
i would like to build a really powerful htpc eventually that will allow me to play pc games on a television since like you can use some as a monitor as well i guess

60+ fps is objectively better but 30 fps is subjectively acceptable to me imo

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
i'm buying the nx to play animal crossing and pokemon primarily
oh and if tokyo mirage sessions gets ported to the nx i'll buy it p. much
i think it would suck that i would have to keep buying graphics cards every two years or something idk how pc gaming is nowadays
actually pc gaming is nothing like it was in the days of the constant GPU upgrades of the 90s because console progression has slowed down so fucking much. i have purchased one GPU in the past 6 years, and honestly could stay on this one at console performance for probably another 2 years or so; i'm just getting a 1080 because i want to treat myself and hopefully be future-proofed for the next decade.
but yeah ill probably get an NX anyway because im retarded and i too like animal crossing hocuspocus;
official confirmation of the existence of both the xbox 1.5 and ps4k means that the nx won't even have the advantage of being the technically most powerful console on the market when it launches
so nintendo is once again rushing itself into another wii u situation (though this time inadvertently) - it's engineering the nx from the ground up to compete with a pair of soon-to-be-decommissioned platforms
except it's even worse this time because the wii u could at least claim to be the most powerful available console for about a year before the ps4 and xbox one eclipsed it
the one possible silver lining for nintendo is that microsoft and sony are both stipulating that all games must be playable on both 'versions' of their respective platforms (though i'm absolutely certain that in reality this will be weakly enforced), so maybe if nintendo is extremely fortunate and plays nicely with third parties they might still get some scraps
but sony and microsoft have decisively shifted the new hardware awe away from nintendo and towards themselves, and elevated the industry into a new technical standard that nintendo simply can't meet on such short notice
.........guys, even zelda might not be able to save the nx
To be fair, the release window of the PS4 Neo isn't exactly confirmed yet. Xbone S isn't meaningfully more powerful than the original Xbone while the Scorpio is launching well after the NX (but still the same year).
NX specs are also far from confirmed. As far as we know, it could be on par with or even better than (lol) the PS4 Neo. With everybody striking deals with AMD at the same time, they'll probably get pretty similar hardware unless Nintendo insists on its recent special strategy again.
also the reason the wii u failed was not total dependent on its horsepower. that thing had a wide array of problems from marketing being a huge one, to UI, to architecture, to my nut sack. the wii did fine and was a huger gap between the 360 and ps3 to what the NX will probably be to the Neo. and even then, we dont even know what the full extent of those console upgrades will be considering their libraries are touted to be fully compatible with the vanilla consoles too.
can we at least wait until these things launch, or at the very least have solid fucking details before we start shit slinging lol this is all wild speculation.

i personally believe that the wii u's ridiculous, ambiguous name (and godawful """marketing""" in general) is the single biggest reason it bombed, but every single one of its faults contributed to its failure, and its relative weakness is certainly one of its most significant faults
the wii succeeded in spite of its weakness because it appealed to "casuals", who today are adequately satiated by iphone apps
the loss of that market might not have been quite so devastating for nintendo had the wii u at least been powerful enough to appeal to hardxxre gamers and third party devs, it could still very well have been a compelling system had it been capable of offering third party content of xbox one-level fidelity
plus the typical slew of nintendo first parties
but that wasn't an option because it was far too weak, and as an unattractive platform to both casuals with iphones and hrdxre gamers with ps4s, the only people to whom the wii u seemed enticing are the tiny core nintendo fanbase
if nintendo finds itself in that same situation again with the nx, i can't see an avenue for recovery
Quote from: C.Mongler on June 14, 2016, 06:13:10 AMand even then, we dont even know what the full extent of those console upgrades will be considering their libraries are touted to be fully compatible with the vanilla consoles too.
and this is true but like i said earlier i suspect it'll be weakly enforced
also it's worth noting that there were several transitional years during which many aaa games were made available on both current and last-gen platforms
the wii u's specs slightly exceed those last-gen platforms, and yet it got almost none of those intergenerational titles, so there's no guarantee that nintendo will see third party support on a weaker nx even if compatibility between the ps4/xbox one and ps4k/xbox 1.5 is maintained in earnest
[spoiler]
i mean there's no guarantee they'll see any considerable third party support no matter what they do but being powerful enough to make porting as painless as possible would certainly help[/spoiler]

this might be the best case scenario for them, but somehow i doubt nintendo would have found it necessary to significantly add to its manufacturing expenses (and nx's final msrp) to make the nx several times more powerful than the ps4/xbox one unless they somehow anticipated the ps4k and xbox 1.5
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:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=54&v=Xhl5sk9i6Mk[/youtube]
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

He's letting secrets slip. Who did you murder?
black and white televisions are high quality tbh
There really isn't any appreciable difference between cable HDTV and analog tv signals in the average living room when your tv is less than 45"
The difference between 4ktv and HDTV becomes readily apparent with a screen size of 65" or greate
your nan ain't wrong about that
oh and I looked at the 60 fps video and I can see some difference in the 30 fps feed but it fits the game's aesthetic better
the 60 fps is basically soap opera effect and it seems like it's just frame interpolation and those aren't really fully rendered frames

i feel both bad about this and okay with this. bad because it's going to be a portable wii u, graphically, at best, game sizes are going to be pretty limited and more costly to produce, and i don't see how this would solve nintendo's crippling third party issues. on the other hand, handhelds are nintendo's strongest suit, and this move seems to indicate their saying fuck all to the traditional home console, which at this point isn't necessarily a dumb move considering the 3ds has sold over 4x that of the wii u, and it's not like their third party issues were going to magically disappear by putting out a ps4 equivalent.
i dunno, there's also the "kids are playin' on ANDROOOOOID" arguement, but i feel like mobile gaming still doesnt hit the same spot that a nintendo handheld does, but maybe i'm just being nostalgic.

nintendo would be putting themselves at an even bigger risk by halving their potential revenue stream and making themselves completely dependent on the success or failure of one device, unless they could somehow guarantee it would make at least the combined sales of one separate handheld and one separate console (which they certainly can't)
they'd literally and figuratively be putting themselves one step closer to becoming a sega
not to mention that the technology simply isn't there yet, nor will be by 2016, it would either be a mind-bogglingly underpowered console relative to competitor offerings, or it would be heinously expensive and still underpowered, and either option would completely lock them out of any third party support (if there's even any hope at this point of them ever recovering significant third party support) and guarantee yet another generation of irrelevance

No time to think about it. Just rush right out and get one before they are gone. Isn't that how it works?
i mean if you're apple, sure
I mean when was the last time Apple's done that even
Sega actually did that with the Saturn and it was a fucking disaster
uhhh literally this month, the iPhone 7 and new Apple Watch were technically announced on the 7th and then they went on sale the following friday, the 16th.

when did anyone say anything about the very next day bro lol we're talking short announcement-to-launch windows. to your latter point, yes i'm aware, that's why i included "technically". they weren't officially unveiled until the 7th, but yes almost everything about it was leaked because they've been in manufacturing for months now.
my point is announcing something and then launching it a week later really has only been successful for apple as far as i'm aware, feel free to enlighten me if you have other examples
non video game related but remember when mbv dropped their album suddenly
also video game related remember the ps4 slim
remember when Samsung announced the newest model of the note and then it had a bad batch at release
i mean that shit's been happening in music for years and there's a bit of difference in ponying up 10 bucks for an album compared to 300+ for a gaming machine lol
i'll give u a point for the slim, however it is in a holding account until i can see some sales #s, at which time u may be able to withdraw your point (with accrued interest)
$10 is worth just under two hours of wages
it has to be enjoyable to make up for those hours since it's not on spotify
also with phones, people generally pay installments now and not the full price at once
i am able to buy almost 3 albums for an hour of shitposting on boyah, shouts out to all the homies who have to work for 7 hours to afford MBV awdood;
also i dunno y u deleted yer post about phones being on payment plans, which yes is tru, but phones also have an MSRP of like twice the cost of a console. technically i paid 649 dollars for my iphone, $200 upfront and then the remainder over 24 months. but you're not incorrect, phones and consoles is not a perfect analogy
i'm just saying i'm not sure a short announcement-to-launch window is really going to work in nintendo's favor, especially given their current place in the game market. if u disagree WELL FINE
I think Nintendo's mistake was designing a console that looks like its predecessor and Added an extra u to the name
if they gave it a different name it would have sold better tbh
also they should appeal to lgbt consumers tbh. the pink dollar is one of the driving forces towards apple
eta: also bringing the Pokemon center chain to America to compete with the Disney store would also be cool
Quote from: Tectron on June 14, 2016, 01:26:51 AM
official confirmation of the existence of both the xbox 1.5 and ps4k means that the nx won't even have the advantage of being the technically most powerful console on the market when it launches
so nintendo is once again rushing itself into another wii u situation (though this time inadvertently) - it's engineering the nx from the ground up to compete with a pair of soon-to-be-decommissioned platforms
except it's even worse this time because the wii u could at least claim to be the most powerful available console for about a year before the ps4 and xbox one eclipsed it
the one possible silver lining for nintendo is that microsoft and sony are both stipulating that all games must be playable on both 'versions' of their respective platforms (though i'm absolutely certain that in reality this will be weakly enforced), so maybe if nintendo is extremely fortunate and plays nicely with third parties they might still get some scraps
but sony and microsoft have decisively shifted the new hardware awe away from nintendo and towards themselves, and elevated the industry into a new technical standard that nintendo simply can't meet on such short notice
.........guys, even zelda might not be able to save the nx
Quote from: bluaki on June 14, 2016, 01:49:41 AM
To be fair, the release window of the PS4 Neo isn't exactly confirmed yet. Xbone S isn't meaningfully more powerful than the original Xbone while the Scorpio is launching well after the NX (but still the same year).
NX specs are also far from confirmed. As far as we know, it could be on par with or even better than (lol) the PS4 Neo. With everybody striking deals with AMD at the same time, they'll probably get pretty similar hardware unless Nintendo insists on its recent special strategy again.
welp
now that the PS4HD,, has been confirmed for this november, we can safely say that the nx is dead on arrival
it's true, even zelda u can't save the nx now

Thats only speed. It's a portable console first, so it's no wonder it won't be packing next gen graphics. The more important issues are the games, 3rd party developers, portability, and price point. You almost have to compare it to the 3DS and Vita to get any real comparison.
Like I expected, the specs are great for a portable game system and passable as a home console.
It'll perform spectacularly as a replacement for both the 3DS and Vita.
Switch lacks the major drawbacks from 3DS (being behind by a huge power gap, having to redesign your game for dual-screen and touch) and Vita (always well behind Nintendo in sales, forgotten by its own company, memory cards) while having all the benefits of both and being closer to consoles in power than Vita was.
Its potential to get ports of console games should be better than Vita and 3DS combined. Of course none of the woefully-unoptimized AAA console games that can barely run on PS4 will get ported, but otherwise porting efforts should be a lot easier to do than on 3DS and a lot easier to justify doing than on Vita.
That said, I own a PS4 and personally have very little intention to pick Switch over it for potential multiplatforms, but between all the Nintendo games and the usual third-party portable-exclusives I have more than enough reason to expect to spend a ton of time playing games on Switch regardless of how powerful it is.
I could see it getting some PC game ports too, mainly indies but still
I plan on the switch being my only new system for a few years, going to wait on the PS4 until it's on its way out and I can get it for ~$150
Get a PS4 now Grant
sorry i'll give yours back 2 u >.<
Wait it's not even going to be on par with the wii u?
So lame.
uh no where did you get that impression
it'll definitely be better than the wii u
current speculation is roughly around wii u power when portable and not quite xbone level when docked
but again we have no real idea of anything
>not quite xbox level
Sad!
it's a fucking portable + it's speculation
hell they could sell me a 3ds with an hdmi output and i'd be happy as a pig in shit

yeah. rumors now are that Zoldo is still a launch title (for north america and japapon); i dont exactly remember but the switch reveal hasnt been that far off timeline wise from how the wii u reveal went (not that that's necessarily a good thing lol)
lol my friend got two invites to the switch preview event so me, him, his gf, and another bro are going to the DC one n_u it's being held in a god damn warehouse in a kind of sketch part of town lol seems kind of weird, i dont really care but i feel like its going to scare off some nintendo nerds. i went to the wii u preview many years ago when that was here and that was just at like the hilton downtown
anyway thats next month im curious what games they will have or if im just gonna be playing the 4th iteration of skyrim
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1332558
That Zelda case actually looks p neat
WHAT THE HECK IS THE CIRCLE INSIDE THE SQUARE BUTTON???? i would love to believe nintendo made social features integrated into this thing buuuuuut its nintendo. we'll find out in two days i guess lol
also a fighting stick? does that mean hori is aware a fighting game is coming launch/near launch? tekken? mortal kombat? pokken port?
well pokken has weird controls but in that thread I believe they were putting bets on tekken
and yeah I've heard it's a share or record button but who knows
tekken seems to be a likely bet as it's supposed to be launching around the same time and runs on unreal. so does MK X so its possible there's a port of that too, but less likely i guess. pokken's controls are standard, but it's the fact that each player has their own perspective of the match, which would gut local same-screen multiplayer if it was brought to switch. on the wii u one person had to play on the gamepad while the other had to play on the tv, but in theory its possible they port it, not that i think there's really any demand for them to do so
I honestly don't know how anyone liked pokken tournament, I mean I only played the demo but it was some trash
i dont think competitive games are your thing grant lol it was fine
But that was the biggest problem, it was just fine.
i mean to be fair every tekken game has been fine
it's not a tekken game lol
and i'm not a very competitive person but that's not the problem, after all I played the demo so it just against the computer. the combat itself was just not fun at all and aside from having basic fighting game elements it seemed like things just kinda happened for no real reason other than that was the way they determined the battles should progress. plus the pokemon they chose were p. lame and really we just could have done way better for a pokemon fighting game

Meh....
14 hours folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They're gonna fuck this up somehow.
They're gonna talk some about it, still reveal almost nothing about it, and then pull something dumb off like say it's gonna cost "599 US Dollars!"
I think we'll get good details about the system, I don't anticipate any really cool new games to be announced though
Battery life for portable mode? Around 3-4 hours. I'm calling it
nothing about the switch's details thus far says to me it will retail for more than $300 for a basic bundle. none of the tech they're using is that impressive or expensive to produce lol.
what would it take for you guys to cement a near-launch purchase? for me
-fucking semi modern online & social features
-sub $300 as I said
-a sweet ass game that isn't zelda or mario (unless mario looks particularly sweet ass)
-if the dark souls port rumor is true i'm there day fucking UNO

if it comes with a normal ass controller as well.
there might be an ILLEET package that does but if i were a betting man i'd put my money on no way in hellz
i'd say it's reasonably likely it'll come with that controller grip thing tho for sure, since you can't play on the dang tv without it lol
They said they're getting rid of friend codes so that's a good sign
I would consider a day 1 purchase if there's a bundle for 350 or less with Zelda or a very upgraded version of Mario kart
But I might just wait til the end of the year

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkk nintendo like i feel like i'm in bizarro world right now
Because Nintendo doesn't know how to do online.
They've never really tried, and they won't use psn or xb live as a template because they have to "innovate."
The only thing they took was charging people for it.
Well it's already sold out

yep. also there's a shitload of people like me who are holding on to preorders just in case Nintendo decides to bow and kiss our feet and apologize, but who are most likely going to drop their preorders a week out, so you'll probably be able to scope one of those as they become available lol

no, but they're charging you to use an app on your phone essentially soooo
i like the app idea, i could see sony stealing it. saves you from all the awkward typing plus no need for a headset. its cool. and you can manage your nintendo online presence on the go. its pretty cool.
Yeah, I think having an app for the chat stuff makes sense if they make your phone communicate with Switch so that it can handle something like chatting with other players in your current game. You could just have a headset for your phone instead of having to connect a headset cable to your controller, which I could see turning into a mess with motion controls in particular.
that said I'll probably never use it

Amazon sold out right away (a few hours before sunrise on Friday morning), but a lot of retail stores have plenty of pre-order stock. I visited a GameStop after I left work for the day and they had plenty of pre-order slots available, although they were out of the one with neon controllers.

this is way smoother (and slightly better looking) than the wii u demo was
The Switch version seems to have more detail (definitely textures, probably more) so it'd make sense if in certain situations it might drop more frames than the Wii U version, but it'd probably go both ways.
Both versions should be smoother this month than the demo at E3 was.
tbh these WiiU/Switch comparisons remind me way too much of PS4/Pro comparisons. Which is kind of weird, considering Switch is only marginally more powerful than WiiU while PS4 Pro is a much larger power jump and yet has similarly hard-to-notice improvements.

but is that so surprising tbh? other modern controllers cost a shitload too tbh
If they could get the pair down to 70 it wouldn't seem that crazy since a D4 is 60 usually. But yeah when you get one half for $50 it seems like a huge ripoff especially since they're so small. Technology inside might be worth it idk but that's not the immediate perception people will have
And it doesn't look like that comes with the base thing too so that'd be even more money
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N33MFPK
I guess the charging grip which doesn't have a price listed yet
charge grip is like 40 last i saw
yo im majorly disappointed that it doesn't double as a tablet. i was hoping i could carry my switch around to edit documents, write emails and maybe edit an image or video and surf the web. if someone hacks an os onto one of these ill buy one for sure.

Nintendo's web site had all the accessory prices since right after the presentation.
The charging grip is $30. The non-charging grip doesn't seem to be sold separately.
Getting a second copy of all the accessories included with the Switch console without the console itself would cost $200 total:
$80 for Joy-Con pair (just one would be $50) (each includes a strap)
$90 for Dock (includes a charger and HDMI cable)
$30 for grip (but with charging feature added)
Other first-party accessories:
$70 Pro Controller
$30 for the AC adapter on its own
$15 for pair of two wheels
$8 for one replacement Joy-Con strap
Unlike the Joy-Cons bundled with the system, you can get a two-pack of Joy-Cons that are both red or both blue. The Red+Blue pack has colors/sides swapped when sold separately instead of bundled with the console.
There's only one AC adapter included with the system, which you'll probably want to keep connected to the dock. For on-the-go charging or to charge the Pro Controller you'll want to have another USB-C charger. Adding an SD card will probably also be necessary.

yo im majorly disappointed that it doesn't double as a tablet. i was hoping i could carry my switch around to edit documents, write emails and maybe edit an image or video and surf the web. if someone hacks an os onto one of these ill buy one for sure.
Tablets are currently a niche market. Most people nowadays just use their oversized phones or a laptop or convertible tablet/laptop. It looks like Switch won't even include a web browser, which helps Nintendo avoid the majority of exploit vectors people used for WiiU/3DS; they assume everybody probably has a smartphone already.
The fact that the pro controller is $70 is retarded.
All I want is a normal-ass controller

I hope they let you use the Wii U Pro Controller with all the games (like MK8 and Smash) that it makes sense for. Sony set a bad example here with not letting you use DS3 on PS4, but with everything using bluetooth there's no reason it shouldn't be compatible with games that don't need gyro.
Compared to the $50 Wii U Pro Controller, Switch's Pro Controller adds rumble, accelerometer, gyro, and NFC, and maybe a larger battery too. I'd say that's worth a higher price, but $10 would probably be more justified than $20.
i know it would just give me a reason to use it

i like the app idea, i could see sony stealing it. saves you from all the awkward typing plus no need for a headset. its cool. and you can manage your nintendo online presence on the go. its pretty cool.
uhhh sony has already stole it, there's an app for psn. the difference is it doesn't REQUIRE YOU TO FUCKING USE IT. if i had to pick up my phone to chat with my friends on nintendo i would just do it through the discord app, not their dumbass app

here's the problem; 2 tb cards will cost almost as much as the switch itself
and like it says in the article, even 512 gb cards cost more than half of the switch.
I mean those will drop in price eventually but regardless, additional memory does cost money yes. However, I'm going to go ahead and take a guess that 80% of a game's data won't be installed on the Switch only requiring inserting the game as a formality, unlike the PS4 and Xbox One. The 32GB onboard should be enough for save & update data within reason, and you'd only need a really large memory card if you intend on installing eshop copies of multiple large-scale games on the system. Sure the PS4 and Xbone have more storage space but they use HDDs (which are much cheaper) and being a portable, the Switch doesn't have that option.

Sure the PS4 and Xbone have more storage space but they use HDDs (which are much cheaper) and being a portable, the Switch doesn't have that option.
regardless, many people choose to buy digitally, so those people are forced to buy that expensive storage. The fact that 1 & 2 tb cards aren't even available yet means that it won't be that soon before they drop any price.
And if Nintendo weirdly chooses to push digital again this gen, even though the Wii U couldn't handle many large downloads, that makes it even worse.
Or the possibility of download only titles, like fatal frame v, which pretty much took up a 32 gb Wii u' s storage space.
I would've gladly paid an extra $50 for this thing if they included more reasonable storage.
Just because you can use a 2TB SD card eventually when they actually exist doesn't mean you have to buy 2TB of storage to get the most out of the system.
Sure, it would've helped if the system came with something like 64GB instead of 32GB, but SD cards at that level don't cost all that much (You can get 128GB for $40 or 32 for $10). Because of the nature of a small portable device, including something on par with the 500-1000TB HDDs of PS4/XB1 isn't viable with the current state of flash memory prices.
If they wanted to have a 128GB SKU at launch, it would have to be priced around $350, which would make the perception that Switch stuff is already too expensive even worse.

That's unfortunately the way it has to be for niche games where the publisher doesn't see a physical production run as worth the investment.
On the other hand, because this only affects niche games, it's not something they'll see as an actual problem for most potential Switch buyers.
Yes I'm aware you don't HAVE to buy the 2 tb, but to even get close to comparable storage of even 500 gb, that's nearly $200. Maybe $150. Even so, its just something you really shouldn't have to do. If the reason is because the switch is part handheld, well then, maybe they shouldn't have gone that route.
But since they did, we gotta pay extra for that. The amount we pay is irrelevant. We still gotta pay extra.
But yes to be fair, it does use carts, so we don't have to worry about mandatory installs, but patches and dlc could still prove problematic
And as for the download only games, I know I used fatal frame as an example, but I didn't mean only niche games

let me help you: past nintendo titles are hardly "niche." how many people jumped on the metroid prime trilogy when it was released for download on wii u? i'm willing to bet a lot.
it's not just niche titles that take up all this damn space, nintendo themselves knowingly releases massive download-only titles that take up entire fucking hard drives
That's true. A good point that many people buy digital because they sometimes go on sale real cheap. Like that metroid trilogy when it was ten dollars.
too bad nintendo sales are fucking garboooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Fire Emblem Warriors was one game that I would've gotten a switch for, but guess what? It's also coming to 3ds.
And hell, if it runs identically to Hyrule Warriors Legends, then that's one less reason to buy a switch!
Now I'll just wait for them to announce that Xenoblade 2 is also releasing on 3ds, completely nullifying any reason to buy a switch as of now.
They did announce there will be an actual fire emblem coming to switch but that's 2018 so... yeah
Fire Emblem Echoes is definitely the biggest surprise of the day.
I guess this isn't the first Fire Emblem remake, but it's surprising to get one now and even moreso to get it exclusively on 3DS more than two months after Switch is out.
Celica will be in Smash Switch y/n

I agree with both of those n_u
I mean I want a switch for wii u port Zelda and Mario kart and street fighter 2 so no judgment girl;
I'm just a bigger fan of hack and slash games over srpgs, so....
It's why I love that Koei Tecmo is taking all these franchises to make into hack n slash games.
wonder if they'll do a port of skyward sword? now that they brought back motion controls. imo, criminally underrated game
They probably would.
I would love a skyward sword hd
TIL it won't launch with streaming services and they are only "under consideration" by Nintendo

Wii U is so sorry it doesn't even deserve to have its thread bumped for the first time in two months: NoA confirmed that Breath of the Wild will be the last first-party Wii U game ever. It's been obvious for a long time, but they're finally admitting it now.

With previous consoles, it was pretty clear that Nintendo completely ignored the fact that people have smartphones and tablets. It's just one part of why Wii U's advertising was so off-the-mark.
With Switch, it seems Nintendo is taking the completely opposite approach: "You can do this with your smartphone? Then it's not a priority for us to support it on Switch."

"Nintendo told Kotaku that all of the company’s efforts were going toward making it an “amazing dedicated video game platform,” so streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube and Hulu will not be available upon release. The company added that support for video-streaming services “is being considered for a future update.”
http://www.polygon.com/2017/1/20/14339596/nintendo-switch-netflix-streaming
ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh i misread that; they mean shit like streaming on twitch and youtube gaming. that makes sense. i originally read it as the ability to literally share/export video clips which made me go "uh you guys already made a button for it"
but you're right about that too
The "share" button will at launch do nothing but take a screenshot. No video recording, but that's also in the plans for a future update supposedly.
man this looks like garbage

it was a good controller but not necessarily normal.
Tiny dpad, button layout, 3 shoulder buttons, two of which are that weird analog thing, and then that crappy z button.
that d-pad was definitely total garbage, it's the only thing that's legitimately not built well on the gamecube controller. thankfully, it's hardly used, so it's not much of a loss. just kind of a shame.
the z-button placement is strange but it's not in a bad spot really, it's just aesthetically out of place. it works just fine so i guess that's all that really matters
all things considered the gamecube controller is still one of my favorite controllers and is designed for comfort very, very well
I just always felt the z button was too stiff.
And yeah, like I said its still a good controller.
The c stick is also kind of a poor man's right analog stick but once you're used to it it's fine

The Switch Pro Controller went up for preorder at GameStop today.
It also went up on Amazon a couple days ago, but Amazon always has such terrible supply issues with everything Nintendo-related that it sold out like ten minutes later
Also, I recently realized that with Disgaea 5, Nippon Ichi is the first developer to treat Switch as Vita's replacement.
Disgaea 1 and 2 were originally released on PS2, then later ported to PSP. Disgaea 3 and 4 were originally released on PS3, then later ported to Vita. Disgaea 5 was originally on PS4, then later ported to Switch. All of these ports are enhanced versions. A lot of other Japanese developers are still porting PS4 games to Vita.
i played the switch and a few games today ama
ok well no one asked but i gotta git that quota so:
-they had pretty much all the games (sans Mario Oddesey) showcased at the show. I played 1 2 Switch, ARMS, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Zelda BotW, Splatoon 2, Sonic Mania, and Snipper Clips.
- overall the build felt very nice. they had demos setup in a wide variety of use scenarios, from handheld, to big screen, to tabletop, to switching (heh) in between. the thing felt solid, BUT i will say when straight holding it without something to prop your arms on (a table, armrests, yourself when seated) it gets HEAVY very quickly.
-the joycon grip felt very nice, and i am very relieved because i thought i would almost NEED a pro controller for this thing; i feel no rush to get one now. it's not the best feeling controller ive ever held, but it works fine.
-the screen was very nice, reminded me of how bright and saturated the vita screen is
-single joycon play was kinda weird but i got used to it. i played snipperclips and sonic mania (and 1 2 switch but its pretty unconventional) using a single joycon. i have kinda small hands but i feel like if you are a person with big hands it might be awkward to use
-i watched super bomberman for a bit, it looks like hot garbage. i dont know how konami managed to fuck it up, the game has fucking frame drops galore. didnt actually play it tho
- i wanted to like arms more, but it didnt totally impress me. that said, the demo environment was kind of weird and it might click more when i play on my own time, OR with conventional controls. the motion control movement didnt feel totally responsive but i might have just been playing it wrong.
- Zelda BotW was really cool from what i played, but it was a 20 minute demo from the begining of the game so you basically find a weapon, kill a couple moblins and raise a tower and the demo ends. combat was VERY nice though, i hope when fighting more complex enemies it really shines and doesn't just become typical zelda hit it until it dies stuff
-Snipperclips was my favorite game that i played TBH. me and my bud were laughing our asses off the whole time and it was the only game besides Zelda where we were actually bummed the demo was over. totally gonna pick this one up day 1.
overall, seems like it has potential, but still not convinced anyone really needs one day 1. still considering my pre order cuz im a cuck
what version do you have preordered and if its neon can I buy it off u pls
also how was 1-2 Switch and what was the HD rumble like
its the gray version and im like 80% sure im gonna get it cuz i mostly get to play games on the bus and i wanna be able to enjoy zoldo to the fullest.
1 2 switch i only got to play one mini game, which was Pose Copy or something like that. one person did a pose and the other had to copy, and then after three poses u swapped roles and it scored you based on your pose uniqiness and ability to copy. it was kind of dumb and seemed like the scoring was arbitrary; my friend did shitty poses that i copied to a t (because he basically didnt move lol) and i somehow got 65% for my score lol. i really wanted to try the milk the cow game but i would have had to wait in line for 20 minutes again to try another
the hd rumble felt pretty cool to be honest, but i dont know how much it really adds to the experience and if it is worth the extra cost; assuming thats whats beefing up the price on these things
i guarantee they're working on a goty edition of smash 4 as a quick switch port, a la mk8 """deluxe"""
which means we won't get an entirely new smash game until 2020 at the earliest
Release date is this Friday. Before that, Nintendo's streaming an Indies-focused Nintendo Direct this Tuesday at 12pm EDT.
Oddly enough, there's still a lot of details about the system that Nintendo hasn't clarified, like basically everything that has to do with online connectivity.
Also, reviewers claim they're having some problems with signal strength and dropped inputs from the Joy-Cons thanks to playing in a large living room or from blocking it with their hand or body. This might get fixed in the day 1 system update.

I wonder if any good indie games will be announced for launch last-minute. As-is, the games I plan on getting are Zelda, Snipperclips, and possibly FAST RMX.
Hasn't Nintendo basically said that online is going to be in beta until the fall though and will likely see changes until then

It's a somewhat silly demonstration, but that's an effective way to describe the feature. Enhanced haptic feedback is a legitimately nice feature for plenty of situations.
Admittedly there are some games, like Smash, that wouldn't benefit at all from this feature, but you could say that about almost every other improvement in gaming hardware. Some games don't even benefit from joysticks or shoulder buttons and this is undeniably a much more minor feature than those.

Smash 4 is the best overall simply because it fixes most of Brawl's issues and makes improvements across the board, plus having the widest selection of characters, but I'd say it's by far the least inspired in the series, with really nothing that big or new about it, and simply being Brawl 2.0 HD
Plus the fact that the game lacks a proper name doesn't help the feeling of the game having no real personality whatsoever

the nintendo poop
honestly i gave up on nintendo with the wii. i dont have plans to buy the switch, but i acknowledge that it's a very sexy console. but nintendo can't come back, all of the old talent has gotten old and the new kids like all current japanese devs just don't get it. they don't have the wealth of creativity and life experiences to draw upon that miyamoto and friends had. so even if they didn't cop out and go for gimmicks, it would still be bad.
yes mayamato did star fox zero but he also did pikmin 3 so the old man's still got it.
yes we've already established that

I mean the 3DS eventually became a solid success, especially considering mobile gaming taking a lot of that market share these days
the Wii U was just so badly marketed that as soon as it got off to it's terrible start there was little reason for anyone to even give it a chance besides the great games Nintendo put out for it
I know that everyone says they want a "normal" console from Nintendo (basically a PS4 with the Nintendo logo slapped on it and Mario) and while I'm sure that would do solidly, I don't think it would pull Nintendo out of 3rd place in the market. People already have/want PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and with a standard Nintendo system there wouldn't be much incentive to change platforms. We already had this with the GameCube; it even got a lot of the same 3rd-party titles as the PS2 and Xbox. But people saw and continue to see Nintendo systems as "kiddie" so despite it being more powerful than the PS2 and having Nintendo games, it was in 3rd place in North America.
The Switch has a standard control scheme, is supposed to be very easy to develop for/port to, and has graphical power that, while weaker than the PS4 and Xbone, is at least somewhere in the same realm for the most part, meaning it shouldn't be too hard for third parties to have at least some titles across all three platforms. Not only that, but it's portable, and does have more input options for developers who want to do things they couldn't on the other two. I think the Switch is a smart move, and I'm sure it will do much better than the Wii U, and hopefully will put Nintendo back in the running.
Plus, Nintendo has always tried to come up with something fresh for their controllers. The NES had the D-Pad, the SNES had shoulder buttons, the N64 had the analog stick & rumble. Again, the GameCube is the only exception, and that was their biggest failure until the Wii U.

no, but I would assume that if they didn't rely on gimmicks, they'd have the power or something to make up for it.
But it is nintendo, so probably not.
i don't buy the argument that the smash games are uninspired. the formula just got boring. and the only way to make it interesting is to do something totally new and redo the whole system, which will make everyone mad.
brawl had a ton of heart put into it but sakurai ruined it with his anti-competitive play thinking. and smash 4 is just stale, but how do you fix that, there have been no new ideas in party fighters in ages.
The problem with Nintendo's gimmick this time, is really that we don't know if that gimmick will succeed.
How many people will actually take it outside?
Will people like playing with a crappy half-controller for multiplayer? (Lay off its probably fine it just looks REALLY uncomfortable)
Will the battery life be too short for people?
I'm excited for this console (or at least will be when the games for it will be out) but this is the most concerned I've been for a console in general.
I hope it does well, or at least better than Wii U.

tbh, I wouldn't mind them implementing PlayStation all stars combo system and general fighting system into a smash game, but of course, keep the knocking off edge scoring instead of that games reliance on supers.
Nintendo just streamed the indies presentation. A summary:
* Yooka-Laylee Trailer
* Overcooked port coming with all the DLC
* Stardew Valley is coming to Switch and will get multiplayer features before any other platform
* Other stuff
Apparently there's a game called War Groove that is a very blatant Advance Wars clone in almost every way. They have basically the same unit types, the same building types, the same battle screen visuals, the same COs mechanic, etc. The main difference is that there's a bit of fantasy theme to it (even though they're keeping tanks, helicopters, submarines, etc).

honestly? i find this downright respectable. a lot of good shit and a lot of good NEW shit. a lot coming out both this year and in the coming months. why the fuck didn't nintendo play this up at the reveal? was it the japanese audience? i would have been hyped as shit instead of FUCK THIS SUCKS if they revealed this stuff in their presentation.
thumper, gungeon, towerfall, hollow knight, and fucking OVERCOOKED confirmed? fuck YEAH
steamworld dig MOTHER FUCKING 2?? tiiiight bruuuuv
but holy shit RUNNER GOD damned THREEE and it's a SWITCH FUCKING EXCLUSIVE??? bruv
yo if the switch is gonna replace the vita as the portable indie machine, fuck it man, i'm down for this shit
also war groove looks like a advance wars spiritual succesor (or a fire emblem ripoff) so i'm hyped as shit for that as well
i made a new thread on it cuz i didn't know where to post. but yeah that indie showcase was honestly some good shit, was very refreshing to see. overcooked, gungeon, towerfall, duck game, and others are going to be fucking great to take on the go and play with my buds while we smoke blunts on the switch hell yea

but yeah u can merge them all if u'd like i wont call u a fascist 4 this one
yeah you would think 3ds would have gotten at least ONE of them instead of 3 (4, 5????? i dunno how one would classify conquest n shit) fire emblem games
i've actually used a joycon, it's fine lol
I usually don't care much for Nintendos gimmicks but this one fits me pretty well. My gf likes gaming with me but our options are limited based on whether we are hanging out in the living room or in the bedroom. So with this I can just set it up in the living room and we can take the tablet with us to the bedroom. It's especially nice that if you just have an outlet you can basically play indefinitely on the tablet

I was gonna say dis
man I'm not even excited for the switch even if it launches very soon
I may get it later on but only if it has a promising library, but most importantly smash. If it's hackable, I'll get it, too. Wii U and 3DS homebrew in this day and age, jesus fucking christ nintendo. Not to mention Cemu emulating wii u games. Not even the n64 has a reliable emulator.
And it's weird, like after getting into tr4sh I value games more for their replay value. I've never been glued to one game for so long. This is the longest I've ever played a game for and has never staled, not even pokemon had this effect on me. I mean, well as long as a game has competition it won't ever stale to me.
at the very least, playing smash 4 competitively has given it some value to me, and as a hulu box...but still disgruntled at how the wii u was so lackluster.
I'm calling it now, Switch will surpass Wii U sales but will not surpass the Gamecube. I remember reading /v/ screens on how people thought the Wii U was going to be the shit since it sold out, but in the end it crashed and burned. I honestly do think the same will happen to the Switch.

Melee HD remake when
if melee hd is ever made, i hope lower tier chars are buffed and certain chars are fixed, and no more phantom hits. but all the other jank can stay like wavedashing, multishine, ledge trump, l-cancels, etc. most important thing is no input lag and online play, and i hope that it won't suffer port failure, like smash 64 (plays terrible on vc that nobody uses it for tourneys)

honestly, my brother and i were just dying at the ice cube demonstration
It's a somewhat silly demonstration, but that's an effective way to describe the feature. Enhanced haptic feedback is a legitimately nice feature for plenty of situations.
Admittedly there are some games, like Smash, that wouldn't benefit at all from this feature, but you could say that about almost every other improvement in gaming hardware. Some games don't even benefit from joysticks or shoulder buttons and this is undeniably a much more minor feature than those.
yeah it did emphasize it effectively
but man after that presentation it was hard to take the whole thing seriously
Quote from: Snowy on February 28, 2017, 06:36:48 AM
I've had the most fun with Smash 4 but can see it's flaws. I'm glad I stopped playing it and went back to Melee.
i love melee and all but melee is entirely fucked with flaws, phantom hits, inconsistent hitboxes among the cast (ex: roy)
the only people who don't think it has flaws main top 6 chars and/or gargle smash eceleb trash
also who do you main. i've got luigi and marth under my belt but i have not played in a very very long time. also use falco on the side

it might help if they got more creative with their new fighters like 5 fighters are from fire emblem. Fire emblem games dont even reuse their characters often, they're usually one offs
lol ign gave the switch a 6.7
i can see ninty being like "lol we said it was a handheld, of course we're making a new console duh" in a few years
i mean duh, the OS is the same half baked shit nintendo has launched their consoles with since the wii. does that mean it'll get better? who knows, history says probably not, but we're still like 6 months away from their premium "online" "experience", so they at least have to mold that portion in some shape or form. and then there's the whole left joycon issue which may or may not result in a mass recall of these damn things anyway (gib ambassador status pls nintendo), but it certainly seems possible unless there's somehow a software fix for it up their sleeves.
i'm not surprised in the least by the console scores being put out, nintendo gonna nintend

gottverdammt
Will probs get Fast RMX and Yooka-Laylee, perhaps RIME and Runner3 as well
There's some other good stuff there (Thumper, Stardew Valley) but I would probably rather have those on PC
Overcooked and Hollow Knight might be cool too
hopefully nintendo changes that by fall but they probably won't
however you can also add friends via Miitomo, nearby, and recently played with, so it shouldn't be too rough.

I'm getting a huge tax refund but it hasn't been processed yet so I'll have to wait a few weeks and pray that it's not impossible to find in neon >.<
very cool
like thyme said it is kind of a moot point since i already have them all on steam, but i guess there are some poor souls out there who haven't been able to try some of these games yet

yeah i dont understand this. reggie literally said there wouldn't be any? it's weird. i have a feeling it's a placeholder/alternate system until the online is actually ready? or at least i want that to be the case because they literally lied and stepped backwards on this if these are the only options forever.

QuoteReached for comment this morning, a representative for Nintendo told Polygon that additional ways to add friends will be coming to the console, including using social networking, in-game menus and the much easier-to-remember Nintendo Network ID.
I guess that improves things a bit, but it's still needlessly convoluted. Will average users be able to figure out which of those many methods they should use to, for example, add a friend that they're chatting to on SMS, forums, etc? You can't really just say "hey add me on switch I'm ____" like every other account system ever.
Every user will have a Switch user name, a Nintendo Account nickname, a Nintendo Account user ID, a Nintendo Network ID, a Switch friend code, a friend code for FE Heroes if they play it, and whatever new ID system Nintendo comes up with for every other mobile game they decide to release.
In hindsight, I guess the writing was on the walls when Miitomo released and basically required you to link a social media account in order to add any of your friends.

Quote from: Travis on March 02, 2017, 06:33:33 PM

Yeah, it's crazy. Here's what they all mean:
* Switch user name: Each Switch console can have multiple users so this is the name you see when choosing which user to play a game as
* Nintendo Account nickname: A display name for your Nintendo Account that doesn't have to be unique (like your first name)
* Nintendo Account User ID: This was just added to the Nintendo Account web site last week. It's another name for your Nintendo Account that this time I believe has to be unique, but you can change it as often as you like.
* Nintendo Network ID: This is the name associated with the account you used with your Wii U and 3DS. NNID is a completely separate account system from Nintendo Account, but you can link the two together to transfer eShop balance and get friend suggestions based on your NNID friend list. This is the only name that you can use to search for another user to add as a friend (but only after a future update).
* Switch Friend Code: The 12-digit number that for now is the only way to look up and add arbitrary Switch users online, so this is what you'll be sharing if you want boyager friends for example.
* Mobile app names/codes: It seems every single Nintendo mobile app is linked to your Nintendo Account but at the same time also has its own unique user name and friend list feature. Friends that you have in mobile apps will become suggested friends on Switch.
* Email address: This is the actual name you use for signing in
On PlayStation, I believe you have three names: your email address, your PSN handle, and your real name. Not 8.
iwata's ghost won't rest.
I would really love to know Nintendo's reasoning behind all this nonsense. Especially considering that the Wii U did it just fine with the Nintendo Network ID.

I'd say now amazon is supposed to be pro at this
"As I see your order is in advanced stages of shipping, I expect it will be dispatched and shipped out soon. As per the notes on the order, I expect it to be delivered by today, however there can be a possible delay of one day. The maximum delay, can be it will arrive by tomorrow"
So basically what I expected, but thanks I guess. Ugh. Well, as long as it arrives tomorrow at the latest I guess I'm not that pissed about it, but still bummed nonetheless.

yes lol I work there
Anyway camping was fun but uncomfortable as shit and cold, thank god I had a tent and blankets
There was one guy behind me in line after about an hour, and then it was just them and us for another 2 hours or so, and it gradually grew to be ~25 people, some in groups together (so not all were getting one) out of 31 systems available sillydood;
11 were Neon, which it what I got. They also had ~6 copies of BotW Special Edition, so I got one of those, the case is pretty solid. Also got a Pro Controller (that D-Pad is FIRM but the rest of it is great) and Snipperclips on the eShop. Since I get 10% off with my employee discount and another 5% with the target card, after tax the system itself was $280 total, and I got a nice discount on the other things as well. Still need a screen protector but I am set for quite a while now, probably until Splatoon comes out or some of those indie titles.
switch is shipped and should be arriving sunday...when i am not home. hope no one steals it :)
hopefully they redeliver on monday

Plus, Nintendo has always tried to come up with something fresh for their controllers. The NES had the D-Pad, the SNES had shoulder buttons, the N64 had the analog stick & rumble. Again, the GameCube is the only exception, and that was their biggest failure until the Wii U.
The GCN controller was also their best controller
I was gonna say dis
I was too.
wii u pro imo is honestly up there, best battery life ever, most complete controller I've ever had my hands on
idk about the switch pro controller though, has anybody tried it?
Looks like, and sounds like its pretty much the same as the Wii U pro controller
TIL the charge port for the Switch is on the bottom of the tablet so you can't charge and have it sit level on a table or whatever.
I mean I guess I should have guessed that because of the way it works with the dock but jfc that really kills a lot of the portability akudood;
i mean its annoying for sure but theres basically no other solution that works with the docking functionality beyond docking the thing upside down, and then you would have the added/alternate annoyance of having to undock it to attach/detach the joycons
also ive yet to even play with the thing on a table; the kickstand doesn't really provide a good viewing angle unless the surface it's on is at like titty height, so usually i'm just holding it, meaning the port is usually always free
Yeah fair enough I suppose the only time I'd really set it down on a surface would be for hot seat multiplayer and then I'm not likely to play with someone for 3 hours
whats more annoying tbh is the kickstand kind of fucking blows. its super flimsy, like i said doesn't provide a good viewing angle at it's one and only setting, and if you even look at the switch too hard it'll topple over because of it's placement. it would have been better if they made the kickstand centered, like twice as thick, and maybe had a way for it to lock in a few different angles.
that said, the kickstand also doubles as the micro sd card slot cover, so it's probably the way it is because the battery takes up like half the damn switch so they couldnt have had the card slot centered as both the USB C port and the battery are already in the dang way
basically, someone needs to invent better battery technology already, they'll easily get a nobel prize
ayone coping blaster master zero? i kind of want to get it but i also already bought snipperclips and fast RMX and have barely played either cuz zelda rules
also preordered binding of isaac fuck yea

I don't have the Wii U Pro controller but the Switch's D-pad is way too stiff for my liking, and I don't like how flush the home/share buttons are, but aside from that it's really nice
also mongley add me as a friend buddy boyo

debating on getting a switch but idk if it's worth it right now because i only want to play zelda :I
if u dont have a wii u, kinda
if you play games mobile frequently, kinda
if neither, then naw lol
i dont have a wii u and i dont play mobile games
ehhh thats too bad, maybe i'll wait then
well if u dont have a wii u it might be a decent purchase since zelda rules, mario kart 8 also rules and deluxe might be the definitive best mario kart ever when it comes out, and then you will get to hop on the splatoon train later down the line, and i'm sure theres a couple other ports in the tubes too (cough smash cough mario maker) that will make not having a wii u pay off kind of in owning a switch
that said, honestly no harm waiting until like august at the earliest too lol. ARMS might be shit, splatoon 2 might not launch until august, and then it's just indies and maybe some surprises until mario odyssey which will probably be late novemeber
also GOD DAMN its snowy today and like my entire office isnt here so i had fingers crossed i might be able to play some switch at my desk today...except out of the like 5 people who showed up on my entire floor, it's me, my boss, and the two people who sit inside my cube farm. god dammit.
I also Pre-Ordered Binding of Issac since it might be my favorite game ever.
all in all, Im not disappointed in my purchase of the Switch
i also preordered cuz i would like to have it ON THE GO

but i do want to play zelda and maybe skyrim remake but i can't really justify buying a console just for one or two games, learned my lesson with the xbox one and halo. :(

same
I wanna play smash bros but I dont wanna buy a wii for two games *spends 600 on a sweater*
just get a wii u, theyre probably pretty cheap nowadays.
zelda is maybe about 100 hours of entertainment. that's a pretty good deal moneywise.
wii u's are the same price they've always been: $250.00. Nintendo stopped production on them months ago lol. they're not rare yet but finding like a brand new mario kart 8 bundle for example is fucking impossible for less than like $350.00. You can get a refurb unit with no games for like 150ish i think.
at this point if you don't have a wii u, there's not much point in getting one considering it's already half the price of the switch lol
got snake pass last night. i'm only a couple levels in, but it's pretty fun. it's very much a collectathon type game. being a snake is very weird, takes a bit to get used to the controls, but that's part of the fun. kind of like octodad in that regard, but its more of a puzzle platformer than a squigly adventure. hopefully the game becomes more varied as i get deeper into it, becuase i can see myself getting tired of the forumla if it sticks with the "look, there's a pole you can snake around!!!" motif like it's been doing so far, but i've heard good things.
yay a game on the switch wooo
might get has been heroes at gamestop this weekend i dunno, people seem super mixed on that one
has been heroes looks like shit
snake pass does look interesting though, i might get it at some point
hey so did anyone here have their consoles warp from the heat of the dock?
naw
played a couple hours of has been heroes, its actually kinda fun, definitely challenging, tho lacking in variety in some areas and does feel a bit unfair at times. gotta PLAY SOME MORE but i dont feel burned having paid 20 bucks for it
people who got switches need to put their damn friend codes on here

Seriously though Zelda was 48 bucks from Amazon if I got it in the first two weeks of release. Nintendo games hardly ever drop in price. ESPECIALLY if it's a "10/10 masterpiece"
Got the Switch weeks later

I know there are at least some diehard Zelda fans who didn't get a Switch yet but ended up buying both versions of the game because only the Switch version had a limited edition.
but yeah, people who bought a copy now so they could have one when they get a Switch is probably a much larger chunk of sales.
I don't hear about "one to collect and one to use" very much in the US. I think that idea is more popular elsewhere like in Japan? Some otaku are ridiculously dedicated and somehow fairly wealthy.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and now Pokkén Tournament Deluxe.
How many more Wii U enhanced Deluxe ports will Switch have? I'm expecting Smash Bros is probably next.
Almost nothing in Wii U's first/second-party library would surprise me, honestly. Mario Maker, Mario 3D World, Hyrule Warriors, and so many others. I do hope Switch continues to stand out on its own without necessarily relying on Wii U ports.
i'm surprised nintendo finds there to be enough interest in pokkken to warrant a """deluxe"""
If I can just get smash bros deluxe I will have every Wii U game i ever needed on Switch w/ Mario Kart

On Wii U, it sold more than a million copies. In Japanese arcades, I think it's still being played.
So it's more successful than Pikmin 3, Star Fox Zero, Color Splash, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Twilight Princess HD, Kirby Rainbow Curse, and every single third-party Wii U game.
that is surprising, but then again, most of those games are absolutely awful, with even the best in that list being barely mediocre
pokken was terrible but at least it was a novel terrible i guess

I really liked Pikmin 3 and Kirby Rainbow Curse saddood;
Pikmin 3 is actually the reason I got my Wii U when I did.
Rainbow Curse will never be on Switch because the stylus is a hard requirement for that kind of gameplay.
sadly i don't know anything about pkmn, but it is the highest rated game on that list by far, and i know the series is generally regarded as good, so i'd be more willing to grant pkmn 3 an exception
kirby is the passably mediocre one i was talking about
the rest are shovelware
They might as well just call the switch
The Wii U portable. I bet that's what they would've called it too, but someone in Nintendo marketing had the balls to say something

I agree on pokken but everything else there no
Star Fox Zero I'll give you and while TPHD is lame it's still a good game, but all the rest of those are at least p. good and definitely far from awful.

This isn't something I'd thought of at all really, and is a good way to think about it
Also I think the Switch will get a lot of developers that did primarily 3DS games (probably not high-end games for many, as they'll still continue with a portable emphasis) plus a bit more major 3rd party support than in the past (at least for a short moment), mostly due to the Switch's current success

oh i'm sorry i wasn't playing with guns, sucking on titties, and smoking doobies like you were when i was 10-year-old; i was inside playing nintendo and making SWORDS OUT OF FUCKING CARDBOARD
https://mobile.twitter.com/MikeDrucker/status/953755810391384065
ah yes i'm so glad the wii era of garbage gimmick peripherals is back because "it's for kids!!!!!!!!!!!"
but...i thought it was cardboard???
>announcement says that it was designed with Kids in mind
>adults over the age of 12 get butt mad at Nintendo
gamers need to be gassed
Nintendogate
mario odyssey is a product designed with kids in mind. mario odyssey is also good and not made of FUCKING CARDBOARD.
i'm not actually angry or anything. switch still has core games coming out intended for mature gamers such as myself. but i think it's weird how nintendo has such a huge amount of "people" willing to defend their every decision even after the era of WII MUSIC, which everyone was laughing at even at the time of its announcement.
mario odyssey was made for all the gaymers, not specifically literal 10-year-olds
wii music was also targeted towards all the gaymers, and thus no one gave shit because it wasn't actually a game (also it was entirely made to chase the high of wii sports, which i needn't remind anyone is the 3rd highest selling game of all fucking time, so i can kind of understand why they made the effort even if it was fucktarded). they also put out a shallow-ass music game during the great war of rock band and guitar hero, two EXTREMELY POPULAR and EXTREMELY PERIPHERAL BASED games (both moving collectively about 38 million units), so it wasn't really any wonder that it didn't do that great when you could flail your arms to toot a fake flute to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or for a little more money, play a game with some actual depth and songs people listened to during that time
these are apple and oranges arguments you're making here buddo, if you want to make a solid case, convince me the difference in appeal between labo and something like hatchimals or shopkins; nintendo is going after literal toys, not necessarily video games here. i don't get fingerlings either, but that doesn't mean they don't sell like crack in baltimore
including some critical assessments on the concept from literal 10-year-olds would also be helpful for making your case as well, as i've yet to hear any actual kids knock it; my two dad friends in my local switch group said their 7 & 6-year-old kids are already begging for this shit lol, even my 14-year-old brother (he's a lego fiend tbf) told me he wants a switch now
So we all buying the cardboard or what
I'm not curious
Seems like a waste of money
Give me more remakes

currently i'm at a no, but if the software it comes with is neat and fulfilling, maybe. robot looks neat as heck but if its just a sandbox to destroy buildings and turn into a car, then yeah i'm good
the variety kit is a p reasonable price imo, $70 for the software + 5 (i think) different cardboard applications
the cardboard will be easy to repair, replace, or recycle, and you can probably just buy the software for cheaper and make the shit yourself. this is a super cool toy for kids, and I would compare it more to those kids programming toys that are gaining traction the past couple years, not wii peripheral bullshit.
don't think project giant robot is going to be worth the money but still seems fun
whiners gonna whine
It looks cool but not at $70 or $80. They crazy. Switch is already fairly expensive.
i dont see how selling cardboard is a good move for any video game company
if sony or M$ did that im p sure theyd be laughed out of the industry
Microsoft seems immune to laughter somehow

They developed Smash 4, Pokken, and Mario Kart Arcade too it's just weird that some of Nintendo's biggest first party games are being handled by Namco (well maybe not Pokken since it obviously sounds like Tekken)
Or maybe it's not weird but it's funny to me. Looking forward to Namco Mario
i mean thats three games over the span of 13 years, and the only one of those that i'd consider big is smash 4, and even that was just codev'd by namco it wasnt even their own project lol
Hyperbole tho

Until now, all Switch systems and docks have exactly the same solid dark grey design, while certain bundles have different Joy-Con colors, but today they just announced the first special edition console design: Pokemon. The bundle also includes a pokeball plus controller and a choice of one game version.

y statement implies the Wii and Wii U are worse than the GC
It's not reliant on terrible controllers, is portable, already has a better catalogue in the near future than the Wii U, etc. etc.
There's not really any objective reason I can give for it being better than the Wii right now since that had such a long lifespan but I'm just so happy the Wii line is dead n_n
the wii u remains the worst nintendo console of all time but the shamecube simply doesn't hold a candle to the wii lol
the sw*tch's library is worse than any of the three at the moment, but even as much as i dislike the sw*tch it's still unfair to compare it to the others because it's barely over a year old
right now though the sw*tch has very little going for it lol, even compared to the gamecube, and especially compared to the wii lol (remember boyah collectively decided that the wii was the greatest 3d nintendo console, well above the shamecube girl;)
i do expect at the very least that the sw*tch will end up having a superior library to the wii u and gamecube, but that shouldn't exactly be difficult or impressive as they're easily the two weakest nintendo consoles

Quote from: 6M69I69B9 on September 18, 2018, 01:24:38 PMonly luigi's mansion 3 can save this console for me
Fun fact: Luigi's Mansion 2 was the 3DS system seller for me. I specifically bought a 3DS right when that game launched. Of course, part of the reason I got it then was also that I knew Pokemon was coming later that same year.
And Pikmin 3 was my Wii U system seller.
As of today's system update, it looks like Nintendo is kinda fixing part of their account system O_0
https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22448
This is pretty much exactly copying the way PS4 handles its accounts: you can now, for the first time on any Nintendo system, link your account to more than one console. You have to designate one console as the "primary", where the games owned by your account can be shared with other users, while the other "secondary" systems only let your downloaded games be started by your account (and other accounts are only selectable for local multiplayer).
my wii u system seller was mk8 lol (the free game offer certainly helped), but of course i also bought it in anticipation of sm4sh and zelda (so much for that)
i will play luigi's mansion for the first time when the original makes its way to 3ds
mapio odyssey was the game that led me to buy a switch
but my actual system seller was my 30th birthday and i felt like buying something for myself lol
C O N S U M E R I S M
moiro odyssey and 5ma5h will be my sw*tch system sellers too lol
and those will probably end up being the pinnacle of the switch library, honestly
Smash is the pinnacle of every Nintendo console though tbf

Melee is absolutely the biggest reason people still have for setting up and using a GameCube nowadays.
Other than Melee the still-exclusive worthwhile GameCube library now basically amounts to Mario Sunshine, F-Zero GX, Animal Crossing, Four Swords Adventures, and the Pokemon games.
I'd personally rather replay Sunshine than Melee any day, but that's not exactly the most popular of opinions.
even if it weren't for the ports of its zelda and metroid games, i honestly can't think of any good reason to set up a gamecube today

Its still not the pinnacle of the system
I don't discredit any other game just because they're available on other systems now. They were still gamecube games
Well personally I would not have bought a Wii if not for Smash. It's probably the only game I put more than 20 hours into on Wii
I would have bought a Wii U for Smash if it wasn't on 3ds.
Idk I feel like more people would buy a Nintendo console for Smash than even Mario or Zelda. For the Wii Brawl outsold Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess.
I guess Mario Kart sells better than Smash though but that makes sense.

Maybe Animal Crossing. Maybe Double Dash? WW? Outside of those few I dunno what else comes close. Melee outsold them all
The Nintendo Switch 6.0.0 update went up a couple hours ago and Nintendo Switch Online is out now.
The 6.0 update includes a controller firmware update for Joy-Con and Pro Controller, but nobody knows yet what that update changes. It also adds the ability to link your Nintendo Account to more than one Switch system, similar to how PS4's account system works.
I got a membership and downloaded the NES app.

i agree that smash probably has the most broad/mass appeal of any flagship nintendo franchise as evidenced by its sales and extreme popularity, but for me personally that isn't true
i do generally prefer mario kart to smash,
especially in the case of mk8 vs. sm4sh
mk8 is honestly the best wii u game lol

but melee is the reason shitty gamecube controllers are still being manufactured and the only reason anyone still cares about the lamecube at all 15 years later
Actually, come to think of it, even for me, Melee is the game I most associate with the Gamecube, despite it not being my favorite Gamecube title. befuddlement

I'm just happy they're multiplayer at least
Here's another problem with the NES games: restore points are entirely manual. For every single incarnation of Virtual Console on Wii, Wii U, and 3DS, you can go back to the Home menu, choose a different game, then later come back to the game you were playing at exactly the moment you left off at. On Switch, there's absolutely no warning when going back to the list of games and your unsaved progress is just gone unless you navigate through and use the restore point menu before you exit.

Quote from: @JimSterlingPeople on here defending Nintendo Switch Online with "it's $20" as if paying for a shitty deal isn't shitty so long as the shitty deal isn't an expensive shitty deal.
Here's a somewhat surprising detail: with one solo subscription to Nintendo Switch Online, you can download and play both the US and Japanese version of the NES/Famicom emulators. You need a Japanese account to download the Japanese one, but that account doesn't need to have a subscription. Once it's downloaded you have to start it with the account that actually has a subscription regardless of whether the regions match.
There's not too much point to doing this yet since they both have the same library through the end of 2018. Notably, the Famicom Disk System version of Zelda 1 has better sound than the NES version, although the cryptic hints are even less useful if you can't read the language. I expect they'll end up with different libraries next year thanks to all the very popular JRPGs that never got translated.

Quote from: bluaki on September 19, 2018, 04:27:16 AMHere's another problem with the NES games: restore points are entirely manual. For every single incarnation of Virtual Console on Wii, Wii U, and 3DS, you can go back to the Home menu, choose a different game, then later come back to the game you were playing at exactly the moment you left off at. On Switch, there's absolutely no warning when going back to the list of games and your unsaved progress is just gone unless you navigate through and use the restore point menu before you exit.
sounds like how the classic consoles work
Who tryin to hunt in Generations Ultimate hit me up
Nintendo finally confirmed this detail: if your Nintendo Switch Online subscription expires, you can wait up to 6 months to subscribe again before your cloud save data backups may be deleted
So it's at least better than the "oh no they'll delete it immediately" reaction a lot of people online had for the past few weeks before they clarified this
