the handset will have its own power cord and the dock will have its own power cord and both of them will need to be plugged in at the same time to work.

Man imagine if Zelda breath of the wild on WiiU is the actual high end definitive version while the NX version is the downgrade hahaha

There was a WiiU game that did that, too. Can't remember the name of it, but some platformer with gyro controls.

(The WiiU game was the port of a crummy 3DS sequel and it came with the definitive Wii version on a bonus disc.)

Soccer moms everywhere have finally figured out the Wii and Wii U and Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS lite and Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DSiXL and Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DSXL and Nintendo 2DS and New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DSXL

Thankfully they're relaunching the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) this year so now they can introduce the
New Nintendo Entertainment System
the NNES

or they'll do the Ninendo NEXT so they can have a little arrow in their logo

It was.

Originally projected to reach 50 million units sold by 2005, the Gamecube didn't even reach half of that by the time production ended in 2007, falling just under the original Xbox's sales. Cue a number of overly defensive shitposts saying in effect: "nuh uh the game cube is good and cool can we have a different thread for doom and gloom and leave a hug box up for the rest of us"

It was the console that made Nintendo realize that it needed to do something different in the console space to remain competitive there. They certainly weren't having any problems with the Gameboy Advance, and the DS will go down as the last dedicated handheld to sell as well as it did, but their console business was in danger and pretty much everyone knew it.

The Gamecube started Nintendo's attempt at making cheap but polished sequels to their games. Nintendo did not try to make Sunshine as big as Ratchet and Clank or Zelda as big as Ocarina of Time. They thought they should not have invested the same money as their competitors, they thought they could happily coast the colorful videogameland on fanboy shitposts. It worked for keeping them in the market, but the point is that it did not grow their market, and the new generation that get exposed to Nintendo are the children of Nintendo owners, not kids taken from the vast market that is out there spending money on Doritos or wishing they could buy their $4000 Pc.

The real crux is if you believe that Nintendo did well or if they did not. Personally I would have had Mario and Destiny and various other multiplats on a single console, but since Nintendo was too stubborn I keep my PS4, because I'd rather pay for software than for hardware.

the wii being a cheap 360p hunk of plastic with waggle sticks and selling out everywhere and everyone souring on it 9 months later and putting it at the bottom of their closet, and nintendo continuing to make half-baked toys with their franchises e.g. star fox: zero buys, metroid: touchscreen poo poo shooter, animal crossing: amiibo pyramid scheme festival, mario: the same poo poo you seen on the SNES and 64 but shorter and less distinctive, have really crapped on the perception of their products. my advice is they need to make something good and prima facie impressive that doesnt seem like a waggle stick stuffed into a 3d-printed plastic tablet hobby kit, instead of making bad things

But the Nintendo Difference worked fine with the Wii, not discounting that you just had to borrow a first party game and a memory card to be able to play warez games on it :filez:

That's an apples and oranges comparison. Sega kept reducing the price of the Dreamcast throughout 2000 to try and sway people away from the PS2 hype. Their logic was that they would recoup the costs with software sales. When that turned out not to work due to piracy and a very small installed user base, all the while the price of the components did not go down, Sega just started bleeding money on every system sold and bleeding hard. They had to stop.

Nintendo's Wii? They kept earning money for every system sold. The huge number of users also meant that for every 1 people that would pirate, there were 100 others who would legitimately buy games because they didn't know/care that they could pirate.

Nintendo needs third party support. Konami is creatively bankrupt. I feel like, if they got together, it could be interesting.
