Alucard Nacirema posted:Because Nintendo wants to win back gamer cred by focusing on Zelda and N64 nostalgia I am telling you there is an untapped "the IT Support Nephew" demographics. How many times you will want to eat lasagnas while reimstalling xp on that pc anyway? Time you could spend on switch mario at parties? Also there is no shame in winning back the people who left after n64.

Of course not you idiot you need to eat them in the big impromptu table your grandpa put under the porch while you listen to your uncle dirty jokes he keeps reciclyng and your aunt asks when you are going to kick that guy out of your apartment and marry a good girl. All because you fixed grandma's PC otherwise she would not be able to comment on your vacation pictures on Facebook.

the reason i think Switch has the X2 is because the Shield 2 tablet that NVidia was working on was cancelled in August, the timing is just way too close to be a coincidence

I really hope the Switch has gamecube Virtual Console emulation, since they'll be too busy doing enhanced Wii U ports to do HD Gamecube remasters portable Viewtiful Joe please

Quest For Glory II posted:the reason i think Switch has the X2 is because the Shield 2 tablet that NVidia was working on was cancelled in August, the timing is just way too close to be a coincidence The rumors were that the Shield 2 Tablet was housing an X1, but either way it's obvious that it would have been in direct competition with the Switch and they seem to be betting on that instead. My thought as to why it's probably an X2 in the Switch is that Nvidia is really looking to show off just how powerful their mobile chips have gotten over the last few years, and by showcasing it in the Switch they'll have lots of people looking to get in on the action.

youcallthatatwist posted:Guys when they say things like "will not replace X" it means they're not going to immediately discontinue X, like any good business. The Switch will phase out Wii U and 3DS eventually, as long as it doesn't flop. i remember that nintendo line when they announced the DS and people were wondering if they would still make a gameboy line. its total corporate speak.

afeelgoodpoop posted:i remember that nintendo line when they announced the DS and people were wondering if they would still make a gameboy line. its total corporate speak. Well it is and it isn't. Had the DS flopped hard, you'd have probably seen the next console with 'Game Boy' branding. In this case, the Wii brand is already dead so if Switch dies then the next console will probably be neither Switch nor Wii. If there is one.

I can envision a future where Nintendo only makes third-party games and accessories and cheap-ish handhelds dedicated to Pokemon / Pokemon go. I hope the Switch staves off that future, however.

Quest For Glory II posted:I really hope the Switch has gamecube Virtual Console emulation, since they'll be too busy doing enhanced Wii U ports to do HD Gamecube remasters One of my big hopes for the Switch is that it'll be a good emulation system. My Vita has been really awesome for that (I think I've played more Trails in the Sky, Tactics Ogre, and SotN than any Vita titles excluding P4:G), and I haven't owned a Nintendo console since the Gamecube so there are a few titles (like Xenoblade) I'm really keen to play. Nintendo please do an HD remaster of the Gamecube enhanced port of the Dreamcast's Skies of Arcadia. And then a new one. The time is right. its always been right

wicka posted:it shouldn't take any appreciable amount of self-awareness to realize that you're an edge case and most people dont want to use their PC exclusively connected to their TV I've tried making TV-only PCs since the mid 2000's, the first one being an Optiplex SFF thingy that I connected to a CRT through S-video and had a pretty functional gamepad->mouse+keyboard shortcuts mapper Making a PC that works gamepad only is just about as simple today as it was then, you'll never get something that feels anything like a console. And who the gently caress can read/write 1080p+ text from their couch? Maybe with a very small living room or a very big TV I guess, but it'll suck something fierce

I know lots of people with full size towers plugged into their TVs. They do most of the reading on their phones or at work. The home PC is for console ports, maybe at facebook or photos on reddit and playing music and movies. I'd estimate that it's a fuckton easier now than it was, what with bluetooth / Xbox controllers, wireless everything, Steam Big Picture and the rise of ITX motherboards.

well why not posted:I know lots of people with full size towers plugged into their TVs. They do most of the reading on their phones or at work. Some things are simple, some things are not so simple. Steam and half-assed in-game support will gently caress up your custom bindings, XInput has killed the market for pads with more buttons/axes, unsigned driver restrictions also limit the feasibility of non-standard gamepad use. Steam Big Picture is cool except even games with good gamepad support will force you to use mouse/keyboard to gently caress with their launcher and text input, also adding custom links to non-steam games such as emulated games with per-game settings configuration is a drat hassle and impossible to do without m/kbd. Wireless Internet/inputs is more of a general quality of life improvement compared to 2004, it's not any easier to set up. I mean I do appreciate the improvements to 10' functionality in Windows but it never goes very deep, you'll never have much couch time before having to reach for your keyboard (with a deep sigh ofc)

Well yeah, it is, because you don't have to run cables across your living room or deal with broken poo poo when people inevitably trip. As far as XInput / emulator stuff, that's all niche nerdy stuff that won't bother most people. You're not wrong that the landscape has changed, but it's definitely miles ahead of 10 or even 5 years ago.

Totally! I'd love to see stuff like analog control, triggers etc be more supported. Gamepads really allow for a different interaction than keyboard & mouse and developers don't always take advantage.

They probably meant "no details provided to WSJ until 2017". some of the reporting about this thing has been hilariously bad. polygon, i think, wrote a story with the headline "nintendo to announce switch hardware specs in 2017," which was really just their special way of rephrasing the "no more announcements this year" WSJ story.

That wouldn't be a huge departure from the Wii Remote + Nunchuck setup.

These things must have batteries in them, so now I'm beleiving third party battery packs will be just big gently caress off heavy joy cons that share power supply with the main Switch unit.

That wouldn't be a huge departure from the Wii Remote + Nunchuck setup. What would be the benefits of that, compared to placing the IR sensor on top of the joycon though? The thing seen on those photos could easily be a classic controller-style port or something like that imo

dont be mean to me posted:What's happening with the Wii U right now, exactly? A backlog mostly, because I'd just rather play my 3DS 80% of the time. I finally picked up Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, so that will keep me occupied until Pokemon comes out. Sometime this winter I also have to properly play Bayonetta 2, as well. I did get plenty of mileage out of Splatoon, Mario Kart, and Sm4sh, though. I bought Monster Hunter 3U to revisit it, and was mostly reminded of how much I hate underwater fights  . Greatsword is not a good choice in the water.As for upcoming releases, uh.... ... I mean, I'll probably play Breath of the Wild on my Wii U if I'm not impressed enough by the Switch launch lineup to preorder. That's kinda it. Other than that it looks like it's just a bunch of indie games and shovelware, and virtual console titles.
