Something I have been mulling over the past few weeks (mostly as I stared longingly at the meagre collection of eShop games) is the possibility of making DS games available on the Wii U via the Virtual Console. This wouldn’t have been possible on the Wii due to a lack of dual screens and touch controls, but that would all be negated now that the GamePad exists. The more I think about it, the more I can't think of any reason not to: why not make the best of Nintendo’s vast library of DS games available on the Wii U eShop?
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."
Because they're horrifically low res ? Would need to sort that out. they look cute on a small DS screen , but on a 42'' 1080p tv I'm guessing things might get a bit nasty.
Then again , Gameboy player looked awesome on your TV. But that's because Sprite GBA graphics are cleaner than 3D DS graphics.
I would play it though lol. Give me some Pokemon Conquest for my TV.
I personally think Nintendo merging their hand held and home video game division is because in five years there will be no difference between your hand held and your home video game console because they'll be one in the same. I think the WiiU is an indicator of just that. A hand held like apparatus that interacts with the homebase unit.
Gamecube games come first :P!
This isn't a bad idea to be fair, sure the graphics would look a bit messier than they do on the nintendo ds, but if Nintendo were to introduce some sort of scheme where you could download a game you already own for your DS onto your Wii U console, it can only be a good thing. More games to play is never bad.
Maybe it's the reason Nintendo introduced the GamePad? Obviously first and foremost it's for use with Wii U titles, but if they're being smart and looking ahead, they may well be able to keep selling old DS titles through the Wii U, long after the Nintendo DS is obsolete.
Just my two, shining pennies...
If they tried that, it would look HORRIBLE.. I couldnt imagine the already pixelated DS games on that small screen expanded to a 55in led.. No jus no.. Even if it were in a small box making it 4:3, still would look terrible.. worse than ps1 would too
