Yesterday’s big Nintendo news wasn’t a massive shock. The delivery possibly was but deep down we all knew that the next Legend of Zelda was on it’s way, Mario Kart similarly was a meer formality as was a new 3D Mario title.
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.
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."
Never overestimate anyone, ever.
People do this with every system and you know it annoys everybody. People want to stop using the internet as a boasting platform for negativity and scrutiny and want to start using it for the good in things.
When Vita and Wii U ride through it will happen with Xbox and PS4. Why not just wait and see until you try it before shouting doom and gloom?
ok
I've already written them off for this generation only. I don't see how you couldn't considering what they've announced and the moves (lack of) that they're making.
Personally I think Nintendo's upcoming E3 will be better than any lineup they previously showed. You have 3D Mario by the Galaxy team, Smash Bros 4 by Sakurai and Namco, Retro Studios, Zelda Wind Waker remake, X by Monolith, Mario Kart, and maybe some Bayonetta 2 depending if it's ready.
This will be the first E3 to have a 3D Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Pokemon, and Retro all in the same conference.
