During E3 this year Nintendo announced their new console, the Wii U. The vote was split on whether it was a good or bad idea.
I personally think Nintendo have dug themselves into an early grave.
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."
This is a nice fanboy article
so fare developers,sony and nintendo say their next system wont be a powerhouse as expected from previous console generations.
stupid tablets and phones are ruining gaming
reason i didn't mention ms cause i don't believe they have said anything on hardware specs for their next system.
I'll wait till it's released to see if it's worth my money.
Edit:@Farsendor *so far developers,sony and nintendo say their next system wont be a powerhouse as expected from previous console generations.* Umm you do know they're probably saying this just to throw the competition off right??
I will get a Wii U on day 1, if it plays GameCube games, because I would be more than happy to rid myself of my Wii, and I still have about 6 GC games that I *must* play before I die (Baten Kaitos 1&2, FF:Crystal Chronicles, Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia, and a couple others)
If not, I will get one when there are several exclusives for it that I cannot go without. Say, 1 new Mario, 1 new Zelda, and 1 new Paper Mario... and another side-scrolling Mario Bros doesn't count.
Oh, you mean the $600 Mario, Zelda, Metroid machine won't hit it with the nursing homes and soccer moms? Shocking.
