The best way for console makers to deal with the used games market is to ensure their games are so good that people don't want to trade them in, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told Polygon. But supporting used games is also important, he added.
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 hilarious, go Nintendo! Tell Microsoft how it's done!
This gives me hope that Nintendo won't ever copy Microsoft's quest for avarice. Hopefully the XBONE's failure among the press will help the Nintendo Wii U rise up and overcome the XBONE. THAT I'd like to see! I can imagine it now, PS4 in first place, followed by the WII U with the XBONE in 3rd place. I can dream for a perfect world, but when a perfect world seems likely my dreams flesh out that image of a perfect world.
Microsoft (I hope) will get what they deserve. I hope this acts as an example to show how quickly a company can fall if they forget the consumer. Brace yourselves for the XBONE's launch, Microsoft! You're going to fall and nobody will be there to catch you.
I would usually condone the purchase of all 3 consoles but with this generation I really cannot do that. I believe that the only consoles worthy of a purchase are the WII U and the PS4 because they've stuck to what makes a games console brilliant whereas MS have strayed too far into an unknown abyss and fallen flat in doing so. So there you have it. Want a next-gen combo? Go with the WII U and PS4 (and a PC if you're after graphics and mods); I left the PC out because it's basically a super-powered console and yes, it HAS GOT EXCLUSIVES, but the console ones generally stand out more as exclusives and ease of access are all a console is really.
Roll on next gen, I really hope Sony soar, Nintendo get what they deserve (the WII U to be successful) and for Microsoft (with their anti-consumerist ways) to fail. Unless we stand up to such junk then companies will treat us however they want - just as Microsoft are trying to do with the XBONE.
Bwhahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
hahaha so true. Even nintendo knows whats up.
wow get in there nintendo
Exactly! I never traded in my copy of MGS4 but did for lesser games like Killzone 2 that I didn't rate!
