GeekParty's Nate Turner writes: "As a longtime fan, I’m thrilled to see your new product, the 2DS. After all, knowing that I can purchase a technological step backward in my gaming devices is precisely the sort of thing that excites me as a gamer. I’m particularly impressed at how you managed to take not just one, but two steps backward. Simply cutting back the 3D aspect was impressive enough, but not letting us close the thing? Talk about nostalgia!"
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.
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."
Yes because every gaming device released is targeted at you author... Do people not get that some devices released by these companies are not trying to target them?
The open letter format usually comes across as pretentious... this instance included. If you want to critique then just do so without role playing or like Nintendo actually cares about your opinion.
This entire story was sarcasm. Talk about unprofessional, man...
Nintendo responds: thank u for your sarcasm, plz feel free to purchase the more expensive 3ds for 3d gaming or the newly introduced and more affordable 2ds for those hard to find 3d sweet spot on games such as street fighter 4. Which ever one u choose, know that you'd still b giving us your money. Till then we will let our over 100 years of experience keep printing money.
I never use 3D on my 3DS...
