USB-C works great on several devices that I own. This is Nintendo's doing.

Oh it's not USB-C's fault. The spec lets you do this. But several other devices have had similar issues, like Macbooks charging battery packs instead of the other way around. Just poor implementation by companies.

Nah they still got some $Billions in the bank, I just looked.
"As of March 31, 2016, cash and deposits total 534,706 million yen. This is equivalent to 4.46 billion dollars."

They're going to keep doing what they do and idc cause Splatoon 2 is coming out and that's all I want.

Even companies that currently print money and sit on a pile of it start to panic when they feel the winds change and that poo poo does not last as long as anyone thinks when things go bad. MS basically shat out a billion dollars over the early Surface garbage.

But yeah, Nintendo will probably still be fine because nostalgia is a hell of a money maker and they could make more of it once they do things like not having their entire NES Classic line manufactured out of some guy's garage. Hell there are enough necessary extra accessories you have to buy for the Switch that they'll make a bajillion dollars off the people that have already preordered it.

people were talking about this 20 pages ago but I honestly don't get who the gently caress wants more story driven games outside of maybe one specific genre. If you want a story there's already plenty of media formats that can provide you better quality than the young adult fiction you get in gaming, or if that's your dig you can still read/watch trashy poo poo if you want. Who played through mass effect and went "you know, what this squad based action rpg really needed was 25% of the game to be mashing through dialogue and cutscenes so experimenting with different builds, teams, and strategies is so tedious it's basically not worth it."? Weighing games down with too much plot makes them 1 playthrough wonders, which is fine in specific genres that are basically designed to be interactive novels but absolutely blows for games that are meant to be games.

Manchildrenwho adore zeldas and marios would keep buying the same console twice a year if they released limited editions with exclusive faceplates. 2040 and retards are still paying 300 bucks for the original nintendo switch, except this time the controllers are pink and with a picture of yoshis feet

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
Given the nature of the Swtich, if Nintendo maybe pushes for publishers (and even themselves) to have new retail games at launch to fall in the $25-40 range of the average 'portable' title rather than the $40-60 range of 'console' titles, I could see it carving out a bit of a niche for people would would sort of take all the performance trade offs for lower-priced games that can be played both on their TVs and on the go.

I looked up the quarterly report and you're right, the stats are out of date. They have 5.8 billion USD in the bank now, probably due in part to the billion dollars in profit they had made by Dec. 31.
