Beware the Cow





I want a WiiU and will probably get the NX because Nintendo makes fun games that I enjoy.

I can't recommend the Wii U enough. It has been a blast.

My concern is that if they do try and merge the handheld market with the home console market it will destroy both. I love Nintendo handhelds, the 3DS has developed into something great over its lifespan, but their consoles are very hit and miss!

The last console I loved from Nintendo was the GameCube, the motion controls on the Wii got annoying pretty quick. I didn't buy a Wii U as it was very expensive compared to other consoles for less power, less choice of games and quite expensive games that don't drop in price like Xbox or PlayStation games seem too.

I totally agree that I don't want to see the handheld market go away, but I think Nintendo feels the same way. The NX is likely a response to the shrinking market. An attempt to push their handhelds outside the realm of what phones are doing by giving players access to a console library.

the gameboy advance and the ds were cool but I dislike the grand majority of nintendo's home console output.

you will fit in well here, this is the thread to recognise nintendos failings in the home console market by watching them release therir last console ever

this is what will happen. i mean theyve already lost a ton in the handheld market anyway as they're dying, so this is probably a last chance hurrah to try and salvage their only successful line of consolels while trying to revive their long-dead one at the same time. unfortuantely like evyerhting they do it'lkl be gimmicky and essentially flawed with no support. shame it had to end this way with them turningi into sega but the sooner they move to being a third party studio the bettrer.

A mockup someone did of touch screen controls specific per game. Looks cool, though how practical it is it's entirely another matter.

Also, that bevel contour and badly applied small label don't give it much credence as a real thing that actually exists, though it still looks impressively real for a mockup.

e: an image illustrating what I meant:



Someone should photoshop this so it's just the Hypnotoad buzzing glare with the analog sticks over the pupils.

Good thing Double Dash is a video game, and not literal garbage, so you do actually have to have played it to have any kind of opinion on it

"We dont want to make phone games instead we are making a console that combines the worst aspect of phone games into its main design" Nintendo apparently in 2016.

Tablets and phones must have broken nintendos brain.

Yeah, Nintendo has had an oddly neurotic company logic due to its mix of Japanese business conservatism and cautious attempts to reach out into new tech ever since the Nintendo 64 days. Literal CD tech confounded them in their stubbornness while they were stuck in a cartridge-based mindset and it's popped up in weird ways time and again like with Friend Codes to avoid direct network lobbying and Internet connectivity like in Smash Bros. for example.
