Nintendo Has Most Certainly Won The Next Generation

Nintendo, the creators of the game industry have already won this new generation with the Wii U. With its clearly vast library of games and incredible exclusives like Halo 5, Final Fantasy XVII, Uncharted 7 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 8, it has already bested the test of time and has shown us what a next gen system is truly capable of, rendering the upcoming Nextbox and PS4 obsolete and dead on arrival.

This undeniable fact has been proven by Nintendo even before its release at E3 2012, where Nintendo Land showed the Wii U's true potential with next generation 4D graphics and absolutely perfect gameplay. The online features shown in this game spurred true innovation, systematically and dramatically increasing the hype for this brilliant machine. Upon its release the Wii u featured a full library of games and exclusives that outmatch the PS3 and 360 combined, all with next generation graphics that would make PC gamers cry.

With a full backing of 3rd party support and twelve AAA releases slated for this year alone, the future for the Wii U is most certainly bright, leaving the PS4 and Nextbox in the shadows.

...satire over.

Okay, seriously guys, why do we even approve articles with these headlines? Honestly, you KNOW it's a troll. So why approve it just to bash it? Wouldn't the simplest and best course of action to be to, you know, ignore it? It's dumb enough that you can hardly make a comparison about three consoles in that manner when considering two of them are not even out yet. Can we save the stupidity for the next Kotaku/Pachter article that gets uploaded? Thank you for your time.

I see what you just did there. Nice Blog. And this goes for all sensationally-titled articles of all systems. It's really just a grab for hits. I don't know who should be more ashamed, the authors, the guy who posts the article(s) on n4g, or us--the fools clicking it.

PopRocks3594021d ago

Pertaining specifically to the hottest article of this variety right now in the Wii U section, one of the highest bubbled commenters was apparently one of the people who approved the article. It seemed to me like a classic instance of "hook, line and sinker."

Dark5tar14021d ago

Idk why people approve of such flamebait articles on this site. They can't save the stupidity, it's infinite!

Donnieboi4021d ago

Wait a minute, is there a correlation between bubbles and article submissions?

Ducky4021d ago

It's an easy way of getting bubbles.

Find a flamebait headline, and approve it while also making a comment on how stupid the article is.
Once it hits the front page, you'll be rolling in 'well saids'.

majiebeast4021d ago (Edited 4021d ago )

I approved it because it wasnt against the rules it was a opinion piece, i do the same for other news,articles. I might not have agreed with the delusions the author was writing down but it wasnt against the rules so why shouldnt i approve it?

coolbeans4021d ago

To be fair, that poster wasn't the first to approve it nor the person who submitted the flamebait-ish article. It can't really be helped if a poster gets lucky at being first to comment on those sorts of articles. It would be fairer to question what constitutes a 'Well Said' to the majority on here, rather than the one making a scathing, possibly true point.

HammadTheBeast4021d ago

The irony of you posting this article with that headline is absurd.

lol.

dendenmooshi4008d ago

Just wondering. Was the last paragraph added after it was accepted?

@your 2nd comment

I'm not sure I follow. Each contributor gets the same limit of articles he/she can submit within a certain timeframe. Bubbles pertain solely to how many comments you can make in a certain article/blog/review.

Godmars2904021d ago (Edited 4021d ago )

1) Can support itself.
2) Has games I like.

That is all.

360ICE4018d ago

No, it will be the one that has the games I like!

Godmars2904018d ago

And that is exactly what was said.

Valenka4021d ago

How can anyone possibly judge what console has won the next generation when the other contenders haven't dealt their cards yet? Completely illogical.

arbitor3654021d ago

pretty good satire. could have been a bit more subtle though

MelonSaurus4020d ago

And yeah I agree you could of led us on a little better. I realized it was satire after the first sentence.

PopRocks3594019d ago

Wasn't really even attempting subtlety. I feel the articles I was making fun of don't use any, so why should I?

360ICE4018d ago

Probably not, no. Subtle has been known to give... mixed results here.

MelonSaurus4020d ago

Thank you for exposing the stupidity of some of the articles that have been floating around as of late. It's so annoying seeing them over and over again.

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai9h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken8h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye7h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken5h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

Inverno3h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop2h ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Chocoburger3h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer2h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz1491h ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

Why Monopolies In Gaming Must Not Be Allowed

As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.

thorstein7h ago

Shouldn't be allowed in any field.

Inverno4h ago

And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.

jwillj2k42h ago

Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.

MrCrimson2h ago

tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.

Zenzuu3h ago

Monopolies shouldn't be allowed regardless. Not just for gaming.

MrCrimson2h ago

They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -

Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.

Sciurus_vulgaris1h ago

The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .
