We know that the date released has to take into consideration the optimal sales window upon release, the time it takes to manufacture the proper amount of consoles, as well as having the games (both 1st and 3rd party) that have been promised to be available at launch, ready.
A question that many gamers have besides these though is this:
If the Nintendo Wii U is capable of 1080p resolution, more capable than current generation consoles, and easy to develop for as has been claimed, then why is Nintendo releasing it’s launch games at 720p resolution?"
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.
nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.
people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly
mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.
zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.
nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.
its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.
but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Good question.
They have already gav their reson and its that their games dont require 1080pto look gorgeous 720p native at 60fps is enough for their launch games to shine 3rd party games are all 1080p.
Because that is all the machine is able to do.....But people will forget that once Wii-U is onto 2nd gen games & Sony has released there console for the gaming media & fanboys to beat up on.
Casuals don't know the difference between 720p & 1080p, they simply aren't that educated, & Nintendo knows this.
Nintendo never had any intention of releasing a machine more powerful than PS3/360.
They are banking on the fanboys & casuals buying up another seemingly cheap, outdated machine.
I'm just really excited to see a Zelda game based on that tech-demo they showed us, now that was impressive
that actually sounds reasonable, smart move by nintendo. i'll probably buy a wii u when a new LoZ is announced :)
