Achievement unlocked! Or at least it would have been, if Nintendo would play ball and finally introduce achievements to their consoles. Check out Harry Penwell's article about why the Big N needs to introduce an achievement system.
President Shuntaro Furukawa says he doesn’t think component shortages will be an issue due to new plan.
Should open pre-orders through the E-shop for a period before making it available through stores. And now that COVID is out the way, you can make in store preorders mandatory too. People interested wouldn't have much of an issue driving by if it meant keeping scalpers at bay for a bit.
I mean, the problem is these a-holes have bots that eat up every sites inventory. Then they sell it on eBay for stupid prices. No matter what you try to do we’re still going to have to fight through these human pieces of sh*t to get these damn consoles at launch.
Well I'll either see if I can get one online against bots or wait till they're saturated and buy in a brick and morter store. Waiting isn't an issue anyway I have enough games to wait out the shortage
Looks like the epic console wars might be coming to an end, and a new battlefield is heating up: the Handheld Wars. With heavy hitters like the Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go, and the trusty Nintendo Switch, portable gaming is taking the spotlight. These handhelds bring the power of consoles to your hands, offering a variety of gaming experiences for both casual and hardcore gamers. While PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo aren't going anywhere, the rise of handheld gaming is giving us more ways to play than ever before.
Console wars were great when it was SNES vs Genesis. Was always a great topic in the school yard. You got the Genesis port the friend got the SNES port. Always fun to compare who was better. I always looked forward after the school week and rent a game for the SNES. Now the console wars are pretty much done and over with PS3 vs XB360 was pretty much the last of the console wars. Anything after that is pretty much one sided with almost everybody going PS4 and PS5. To me the console wars started to drop after the PS3 and XB360 ran their course. Be interesting to see the handheld wars I am in the market for a new handheld system.
I would say with the defeat of Xbox and Nintendo being it's own thing in family friendly handheld gaming, the console wars are over. For those of us that enjoy that kind of entertainment and are aware of this aspect, it was fun while it lasted.
There is no handheld war Nintendo owns the handheld landscape.
In a handheld war, Nintendo cannot be beaten.
PSP was a surprisingly robust effort, and it came the closest... While doing half as well as the DS.
Two married costume designers share stories from a decade of traveling the globe with Nintendo.
Unfortunately Nintendo would rather have individual games have their own Achievement system rather than a system wide feature
Nintendo should be playing catch up with the Switch online first before they add achievements/trophies. Lack of party chat, lack of messaging of a friend, and drop the code to add a friend.
The frustrating thing for me is that a lot of Nintendo games would really lend themselves to fun and interesting trophies. Imagine how cool and creative the trophies could be in Mario Odyssey or Breath of the Wild, for example.
Why achievements why not trophies or badges ok badges would make more sense as the first 2 are taken 🤷🏿
Anyone recall accomplishments from the Wiiu? They were basically achievements-but not all games had them as they were not mandatory as other platforms. I figured they were going to be eventually and that Nintendo would’ve expand the Mii verse.
Guess not.
Basically Nintendo tried it, and decided they didn’t like it.
