Nintendo's on a roll when it comes to recent announcements for the Switch, 3DS and NES Classic Edition. WWG takes a closer look as to whether it can carry that energy into 2018.
The Pokemon Company had retail sales worth of 10.8 billion US Dollars in the year 2023, based on the latest report.
that merch tho.
ridiculous the numbers they pull in, which makes it even worse when i think about the low budget broken games they make. or have made recently
Bitmap Bureau has announced its plans to release Xeno Crisis to the Game Boy Advance in both physical and digital form.
We've wrapped up our live interview with Boosteroid. Lots of new information released about the cloud service:
- New datacenters (Brazil, California, Omaha)!
- New AMD hardware coming. Specialized for Boosteroid.
- Cloud Gaming User Counts
- Boosteroid Coming to Vehicles!
- New Smat TV Apps
Well, I wouldn't say ALL the right moves.
Their subscription service is still 90% unknown, their lack of a Miiverse successor and an in-system messaging service is a distinct mistake, and their online chat alternative is a prat-fall in all but the most literal of senses, but they've definitely succeeded in spreading out their games more, and in getting more devs interested, than they ever did with the Wii U, so the signs of it becoming a long-term success are positive.
What matters now is, once they've gotten their biggest names all accounted for, what will they do next, first-party-wise?
That'll be key to keeping momentum, and I'm thinking they'll turn towards reviving franchises they haven't revisited in a while.
Kid Icarus Uprising 2? A new F-Zero?
Or maybe, dare we hope for it... a collaboration with Squeenix for a proper Legend of the Seven Stars follow-up?
There's tons of potential, the Switch's stride is strong so far, and the ball's in Nintendo's court.
Time will tell.
They are out of the gate quickly....but it is a long race. As mentioned the online infrastructure and services are giant question marks. As usual the first party offerings are fantastic. They just need to keep the momentum.
I would LOVE WiiU ports of
Starfox (with PROPER twin stick controls)
Xenoblade X
Bayonetta 1+2
All Zelda releases - re re released
It's gunna sell great like their other handhelds. I'm loving mine
Yes. With
Super Mario Odyssey
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Pokemon
Metroid Prime 4
project Octopath Traveler
Yoshi
Kirby Star Allies
and ever exclusive and unannounced games for 2018
I hope Ninty don't put too much "violent adult" games on Switch for it will ruin the kiddie friendly image of the platform.
