The producer of Super Street Fighter IV 3D edition, a 3DS launch title, explains just what Nintendo’s new portable is capable of.
Microsoft has now called on Nintendo and Google to aid in its fight with the FTC over its merger with Activision Blizzard.
I’m really starting to despise Microsoft and Xbox at this point. Might just sell the Series X and buy a Switch to compliment our PS5’s. Metroid, Zelda: TotK, and Pikmin 4 are just months away at this point.
@Orchard
why would you want to play the worst versions of PS5 and Xbox SX games? the only thing the SD runs better than the original is Switch games
@badz SD plays most games well. But if it's not up to your standards, just get a PC. PC/SteamDeck + Switch.
“The Nintendo switch is a kids play thing compared to steam deck. It pummels the switch into the ground.”
Not thanks. I enjoy Nintendo games and love the OLED display.
@Orchard,
Your still missing out on alot of PS games doing that, Personally I'd go PS + Switch, but I also have a PC, so for me it's PS + Switch + PC and that gets me almost every game.
One day I'll get a Steam Deck to compliment my PC library of games, maybe when Steam Deck 2 comes out.
orchard...are you bored in life. Do you love pantomime or wanna be the lead attorney for Microsoft if all you do is cap for the brand doing the least. No disrespect intended but have a child , wife or play golf or something because you presence is weird. Dont strike me mods..... dude cant stop
Lmao who gets that mad at a company wow get some therapy step away from the internet this is affecting you way more then you realize. You guys can be comedy in this website thanks for that laugh

I´m still laughing! XD
Personally I share his sentiments, for what MS is doing to the industry.
Fu£k MS, seriously.
“You despise it because of a court battle?“
The fact they’re trying to gobble up the worlds largest 3rd party publisher add over 2 years waiting for system sellers.
S2K - What EXACTLY is MS doing to the industry that you despise so much? Please share your thoughts..
You despise Sony because of what? Great consoles and great game consistenly?
Seems ridiculous hating on the gaming company giving us the most.
Your sd+switch comment is a joke but hey, expect nothing less from you.
Honestly it’s kind of amazing how Phil managed to make people like orchard keep defending the console after 2 generations of mediocrity.
Lol, I get it..but at this point, what are MS to do? Just sit back and let it be blocked?
Also, remember when other companies agreed with Sony, you didn't seem this perturbed.
What? You're overreacting. This is how literally any court case works. Calling on competitors, witnesses, etc., is standard practice. It's called building a defense. The FTC have been doing the exact same in building their case by calling on Sony for example. You don't build a strong case by making unsubstantiated claims, you need witnesses or documents to back them up.
I mean, it’s logic when it comes to any other company, but it’s an issue when MS does it (builds its case.) It’s way too many emotional comments with no real facts to back it up. Just cause a company says something doesn’t make it factual as specially in the court of law. After reviewing the evidence so far the FTC needs a stronger case.
Exactly. Xbox cheerleaders can drive around this road block all they want, but nothing matters more than this! When they start releasing their OWN games, we can start to credit Microsoft with a contribution to accelerating our medium. Until then, they're simply making useless noise.
I got all 3 but most of my play time is between PlayStation and Switch…. Yeah MS needs all the help it can get.

Finally! Do it! Bookmarked!
You can hate the CEO / leadership without hating the product. Don't let company politics ruin your enjoyment of a product.
Also, Switch is great. If you don't have one, I can highly recommend it, even with reduced performance compared to the current gen consoles.
I agree with your sentiment, but they go hand-in-hand. Once a company leaves a bad taste in your mouth, you aren't going to desire their products (or may desire them much less than before). And he clearly isn't alone. Xbox's numbers are down all around. That tells me what the public thinks.
In 2023, they have their work cut out for them. If nothing changes, they will eventually fall into obscurity with Nintendo and Sony continuing to truck along doing what they have for over 25 years — providing experiences you cannot get elsewhere. The multitrillion dollar company could learn a thing or two from those mere mortals.
My combo is PC and PS5. Switch Games are amazing but Nintendo's infrastructure and marketplace puts me off. Decade old games still go for full price and hardly have specials.
You just now despise MS and Xbox? Bro, who you lying to - you been hating on MS and Xbox for yeeeeeeears.
Your mad because the are attempting to buy a company and are calling in people/companies that could possibly aid them in doing so? If the FTC and the UK's counterpart are fighting it - should they just be "okay, okay, you win!" Nah, that's stupid.
Y'all mad for what reason? They are trying to build a bigger better brand and y'all mad. Not like MS and Sony don't own near the same amount of studios, now. It's been lopsided for years but you've never complained or cried foul when Sony was buying up companies/studios.
Get over yourself.
This is what nintendo gets for back stabbing Sony, by entertaining MS stupid offers instead of siding with Sony help them, o well, at this point Nintendo seems to be the more stable of the 3 companies, and they compite with no one at the moment.
Sure, the company whose Play Store revenue you want to diminish will certainly help you in acquiring Candy Crush and COD Mobile.
How will this acquisition have an impact on Googles Android store revenue?
And how are MS trying to diminish their store revenue today? Microsoft even sell devices that run Android and have the Play Store as their marketplace…
I did. I couldn't find any mention of Microsoft planning to pull COD mobile and Candy Crash from the Android Play Store.
Not to mention MS has been a proxy agent in the Apple VS Google saga. So don’t be surprised if MS is banking on that. Slimeballs
Wow.... Microsoft is out of control over this matter. I can't help but wonder how many people are they bribing to get this?
Maybe we will get news that Nintendo and Google both claim MS approach as harassment too after this.
I smell an incredible amount of desperation on Microsoft's part, it's getting to the point where the desperation is disgusting.
Microsoft just stop dragging companies into your own mess if you did to them like you did Sony imo you need to give it up with performance Data. Also isn't Google against Microsoft?
"Google and NoA requested extensions to the deadline to limit or kill their respective subpoenas"
So Microsoft basically wants Nintendo to help them fight Sony. It's getting sorter ridiculous now at this point.
Microsoft and Nintendo have worked together. Both Ori and its sequel released on Switch. Perfect Dark just released on Xbox and Switch.
Neat. But this isn't asking them to cooperate in a friendly fashion. They're being subpoenaed against their will the same as Sony was. "Help" is involuntary here. You're misunderstanding what's happening.
I don't think Nintendo is going to be very happy with this development, if it was me, I would feel like I'm being bullied by Microsoft.
Nintendo doesn't care about Cod. If they did, they would talked with activision many generations ago to get it...
"they would talked with activision many generations ago to get it"
This just shows you have no idea what you're talking about. GameCube, Wii and WiiU all had COD games.
GameCube have as much as PS2 if not more powerful, of course COD is on there. Can you say the same for Switch?
COD has been on Nintendo platforms in the past.
Just curious but why do you think MWII is not on Switch? I personally have no idea why.
They stopped supporting Nintendo platforms after releasing a few games on the WiiU, so it's probably related to how poorly that console performed at retail.
Totally should come back to Switch though, Switch is selling like hotcakes.
Obviously some people on here have no clue on the legal process. This is standard fare whenever someone challenges your company in a case like this. MS has a right to defend their position just like Sony has the right to object. Whenever you involve yourself like Sony has by diligently trying to kill the deal it opens itself up to these types of subpoenas. So you need to paint a bigger picture and that involves other companies. The gloves have come off that’s for sure.
Here I thought Nintendo and Steam were already wholeheartedly behind MS after committing CoD to them for a few years. Guess the hype isn't reality just like everything else that comes from MS and their NPC cast.
Lol, who said they are not? This is a subpoena, it's standard court procedure, and even if Nintendo kills the subpoena ...they might not want to get involved in legal matters, it has nothing to do with their stance on the matter.
ummm, yes.
but in those 90% of court cases, these things happen before court and are bound to speak in court, and not in the middle of it because one of them wants to play new cards.
ms wants to dragg both of them in. they should have done that right from the get go and not when things start to look dire.
thats .... court.
Nintendo have done some really questionable things in the past, and it's time someone exposed their not-so-family-friendly past.
This is a really bad list.... but only because the title sucks and is so all encompassing. If it pointed out that the FANBOYS choose to ignore these things, than sure. But otherwise, these things are well known and documented.
Some of the things are really dumb. Especially the connection to the Yakuza. Their reasons are completely baseless, and really idiotic.
“ Once Upon A Time, Nintendo Made Erotic Playing Cards”
“ Nintendo Ran A Love Hotel”
“ Nintendo Was Associated With Gangsters”
“ They Once Had A Cartoon That Was Awful”
Wtf? Those aren’t even gaming related. At this point this dumb site is as bad as GamingBolt, if not worst.
“ They Charge People To Play Classic Games”
In what world do you get to play classic games for free on other console? 🤦♂️
i used to like the Mario cartoon. On friday's they'd have the Zelda cartoon.
The yakuza connection was that the Yakuza preferred Nintendo playing cards, and Nintendo did nothing to stop them from buying them...because that's what Nintendo should do for some reason. I'd say most gamers don't realize that nintendo didn't start with computer games. "Love Hotels" aren't illegal, anywhere. Unless they were providing escorts, I don't see the problem.
And the last one, yeah, everyone charges for that. No one gives their stuff away for free just because it's old.
Yeah, I'd love for a free service like VC, but I'm willing to pay for the actual games.
Omg let's not forget that Nintendo and sony are both in a country that aligned themselves with the nazi's in ww2 while your at it.
What a trash article
"It's a patented form of vrs.
Do you think that there's just one thing per patient? I could patent a light bulb as long as I designed it different than any other light bulb that's already been patented.
Wow as I said you know nothing. Also your argument is invalid simply because there has not even been any info on sony having vrs. Sooo I'm gonna leave ya now unless you have some kind of proof that sony even has vrs. Enjoy your pony "
"Historically, PlayStation SDKs have more memory but the same performance as retail units. I don't expect Prospero to be any different.
With Microsoft it's a little bit more guesswork. Scorpio SDK was 6.6TF(they had 44 CUs IIRC) but even so, I don't expect major differences there either.
BTW, both APUs have variable rate shading, I don't remember if I mentioned that before. I checked the Threadmark and I didn't see it anywhere"

Sony also can have ( and MS too ) VRS under different name. LOL at VRS is MS exclusive to Xbox and Sony must pay for it. You just proved how Boners are dumb.
Aww are you following me? I'm going to call you sweet pants from now on gravedigger.
So sweet pants your now commenting on something related to Nintendo about something from a whole another article because I make you all hot and sweaty. The comment was that if sony used the same vrs as Microsoft they would have to pay Microsoft, not that if they had vrs in general.
So I may be a x boner as you call it, but your definitely flying high on that sony pony aren't ya!
Problem with sonys fans is y'all cant read worth a shit

Just because comments limit was reached. I couldn't make a comment in that thread, so i was looking a thread where you posted recently. Or i could use a PM function. But i chose the recent thread.
Sony can use AMD's VRS solution because they're partners or improve it on their own, dumb Xboner. Why Sony must pay MS for VRS? Guess what, VRS is not MS exclusive thing and it never was. Did MS paid Nvidia for VRS? No, dumb Boner, because they have their own VRS solution. Only dumb Xboner can think like that.
You're Xboner, but dumb one. No wonder why Xbone is humiliated by PS4 and Switch. Same will happened with next Xbox. You deserve it. And you don't deserve better because you, Xboners are damn delusional beings.
Hey sweatpants what's for dinner? I expect it to be on the table for me in 15min or you go back in the basement
I'm sorry about that sweetpant the damned auto correct. Shame on me for not catching that spelling error sooner. Dinner was great by the way, you get to sleep at the foot of my bed tonight as a reward
Here's one. Nintendo is always a gen or 2 behind yet charge as much as sony and microsoft. If switch were a dedicated home console it would be selling at the pace wii u did. Nintendo was smart merging their handheld fanbase with their failing home console fanbase.
if switch is the successor to wii u then whos the successor to the 3ds/ds? I bet many will dance around this one.
“ if switch is the successor to wii u then whos the successor to the 3ds/ds?“
How about the Switch Lite which is a handheld console only?
Instead of saying “hahaha” maybe you should provide an intelligent response to my question.
You know i would if you nintendo marks would accept the fact that nintendo had to merge their strong handheld fanbase with the weak dwindling console fanbase to make it seem like switch is this huge success when in reality is if nintendo launched a real dedicated home console they would be in dead last.
“ You know i would if you nintendo marks would accept the fact that nintendo had to merge their strong handheld fanbase with the weak dwindling console fanbase”
So you mean just like Sony did, which they killed their handheld and focus solely on their home console?
“ if nintendo launched a real dedicated home console they would be in dead last.”
If Sony launches a PS Vita 2 they would be dead last as well. You see? It goes both way. The fact is, each company caters to their strongest strength (Sony: home console, MS: services, Nintendo: hybrid) and there is nothing wrong with that. This is a business, not a race to see which one is the best just to please fanboys.
“ Hybrid, pfft. Young millennial has alot of learning to do.”
So what do you call a console that can be played in both handheld and on TV mode right out of the box without needing to purchase additional accessories?
I hate the fact that there are a couple of legitimate things on this list because now they're gonna be delegitimized by all the bizarre nitpicking in here.
-_-
It's Nintendo, all the "old heads" childhood console, so you cant say anything bad about it and it's games.
A couple things on this list are legit, but...there's other stuff on there that makes no sense. I mean, it's cool to know what Nintendo was up to in the 60s, but that doesn't affect us now. I'd love for a VC but where do you get off thinking they should just give away their games for free? That would be like suggesting someone opens up a store and gives its products away for free.
I agree that Nintendo fans ignore quite a few things, and they can do better, sure. The insistence on not dropping the price of their games after a certain amount of time has elapsed, like virtually every other company does, is a prime example. But, it seems like you grasped at straws to fill out some of this list.
They don't care. They can't make their stuff fast enough right now. I don't care. My Nintendo experiences through the decades are all good.
I can think of at least one that comes to my mind instantly: putting out hardware for the last 18 years that's laughably last-gen compared to MS's and Sony's products, but that's still sold at infamously high prices.
Oh, and the general lack of third-party support. Make that 2 then.
Oh, and now charging for online play with hardly any perk. Make that 3, then.
Nintendo has announced the closure of Miitomo, which it launched in 2016 as its first foray into smartphone gaming.
LIES! then what are people paying such a stupid amount for? power lolz. we all know nintendo and power don't mix
