I am kind of sad that the wiiu thread was close, it was the single best thread in games, but i guess a subpar star fox game broke people.

anyways the NX will be cool and good.

For gently caress's sake, I'm tired of this constant censorship of videogames. It's noodles, okay!? Noodles!

sounds like they think its going to be priced too high to move volume so investors should be cautious about buying in prior to the reveal. also that they shouldn't overestimate mario run sales due to smaller launch market than one might expect.

Honestly it's poor analysis for a couple reasons, on NX seems he is just guessing on features and price, there's nothing concrete there.

On Mario Run iOS is only %40 of the market, but it's the market where people actually buy apps. And it will be on Android probably in a couple months anyway.

How can you be a Nintendo fan but be mixed on Iwata? It's not like he was even a controversial figure, like a 90's Bill Gates or 2000's Steve Jobs.

quote:


Although not part of Nintendo at the time, Iwata assisted in the development of Pokémon Gold and Silver, which were released for the Game Boy Color in November 1999, by creating a set of compression tools utilized for graphics in the games.[23] While working as a go-between for Game Freak and Nintendo, he aided in the programming of Pokémon Stadium for the Nintendo 64 by reading the original coding in Pokémon Red and Green and porting the battle system into the new game in just one week.

Even beyond that, the fact that he's saying, with his mouth words that Super Mario Run isn't exploitative enough is just...butts. It wasn't enough for them to make first-party titles for mobile now it's a problem they aren't doing mobile pricing the right way. Which is the wrong way, but it's right to do it that way.

Like that's really something with Nintendo these days is that they're not exploitative enough that's yeah that's something they should definitely work on doing more of.

It's like that one investor from a few years back who said they could make more revenue by making a mobile Mario game where you can pay micro-transactions to jump higher.

He also has a major bias against Nintendo and has claimed they have been doomed every single year.
