Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa shares his thoughts on future third-party support as the next console iterations from Sony and Microsoft widen the performance gap.
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
One modder produced an unofficial, modern-day take on the Game Gear.
They'll need to release a more powerful Switch eventually.
They will need to constantly turn out them Nintendo Exclusives in order to maintain their base support. I would imagine at least 1 AAA Nintendo first party exclusive each month. Perhaps even more especially around the holiday seasons.
I hadn't stop to think about that yet. But once the new consoles got release they will be like 20x more powerful than the Switch.
However I don't think that the Switch will be really that affected. Maybe it will become an obstacle for some third party ports, but as the console is receiving ports from all over the place (old gen, current gen, mobile, etc...) I believe it will be just fine.
But that might make Nintendo pressure Nvidia to actually make the Tegra X2 a usable SoC for a handheld device.
The power gap between Switch and PS5/Xbox Scarlett will be akin to the power gap between Wii and PS3/360
Just keep releasing more Marios and Zelda’s.
That’s what people buy Nintendo consoles for.
