PS4isKing_824082d ago

Can't believe you got disagrees for expressing your happiness over the updates.
But ya, I love it too. It shows Nintendo is commited to its customers unlike that "other" company. Can't wait to see the Nintendo conference at e3 and Sony's too. :D

1upgamer994082d ago

There are Nintendo haters on here who go around and disagree with any positive Nintendo comment made. I am not kidding.

Shnazzyone4081d ago

Yeah, i went from 5 bubbles to 2 from saying how much I liked when the GBA games were released for 3ds ambassador program after the 3ds price drop.

I love nintendo, sony, and microsoft, but do any of you folks feel as shafted by the Wii U as I do? I was a launch day buyer, and legitimately feel like I have nothing left to play on this system. It's a bit frustrating.

SpiralTear4081d ago

I was a launch day buyer as well, and while I wouldn't say shafted, I do agree that there isn't much to play on the console at the moment. You pretty much have Monster Hunter, Lego City Undercover, and the launch games.

I'm sure Nintendo will deliver some good stuff this year, especially with their big list of franchises appearing at E3, but at the moment, it's pretty slim pickings. Decent pickings, but slim nonetheless.

Dgander4081d ago

Every console has problems with games at launch. Wii U's launch sucked but it is still better than Xbox 360 and PS3 launch line up if you look at the games they had. When you buy a console at launch you get what you expect, no one shafted you. After E3 everyone will forget all the (Wii U has no games) talk and shift that focus to either Sony or Microsoft.

THEMIGHTYDOOVDE4081d ago

Im on the opposite end to you. I missed Last Story, Xenoblade and Pandora's Tower on Wii, so I bought them on Wii U launch day (UK) along with Zombie U, NSMBU & Nintendo Land, and they've kept me gaming until I bought MH3U yesterday :-)

N4g_null4081d ago

I don't really feel shafted. I still have to beat ninja gaiden, the rest of Nintendo land, the rest of 2d Mario and zombi u. Along with a few other games.

Hey but if I'm looking for some thing new I'll just get bio shock on the pc really. Yet I'll be getting that pinball game, need for speed, du, monster hunter also for the ds and waiting for the other games to come out.

I sort of wanted to get a ps4 to catch up on some ps3 games at home. I think the ps3 will out sell the ps4 for a while just because of that.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H910d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX9d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H99d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro9d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos8d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger8810d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk779d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos9d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris9d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

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."

RiseNShine26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

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.

gold_drake26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

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.

Inverno26d ago

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.
