I mean, I got and loved Brain Age and Nintendogs, but if Nintendo does anything shy of port Super Mario Brothers to the PS4, angry gamer neckbeards write six million word thinkpieces for Bloomberg or whatever about how Nintendo is a dumpster fire and literally killing their family and why can't Nintendo release Mario for the iPhone? Actually, holy poo poo why haven't they made Nintendogs for the iPhone yet? Out of every IP they could make mobile that seems like an easy winner.

Astro7x posted:Yeah, I had those friends that were lucky to get one game a year on their birthday or Christmas, while I was rocking a 40+ game NES library. Why would people buy a console and not get games? I literally know people who has a Wii and only have Wii Sports. I would get two or three games for Christmas and one for my birthday, but the video rental market was so prevalent back then I would rent and finish one or two games a month, if not more. You didn't have to buy them.

Disney didn't just scrap toys to life, they scrapped their entire gaming division, since overall it just wasn't profitable.

I tend to think it will be ARM because then it will make it much easier to port games and game engines between console and mobile, and going from x86 to ARM is apparently not too much work.

I'd prefer a hub than one contiguous world, or if you do have a contiguous world, a hub serving as shortcuts. That could work. Like, in Mario Sunshine you can see other levels from the level you're in, there's a real geography and continuity to it. So if you could actually get to other world if you want and maybe there's hidden stuff out there, but I'd still rather navigate with portals.

It's really weird, I feel like Sony games and to a larger extent indie games, though many are very good, have been getting a real loving pass by reviewers. Everything that comes out is goty.

And the company that makes their cartridges forecast a huge increase in sales at the same time the NX is releasing. The thing is disc prices and storage space has stagnated while cart space has risen and cart price keeps fallin. The extra cost can at least be partially made up with in large logistics savings(smaller packages, less weight, more units per shipping container), no disc format licensing costs, cheaper console that's more reliable(less returns/warranty cost) with no moving parts(also smaller and thus cheaper logistically)

Modern carts aren't going to have a specialty chip. Think 3ds cart, just with a bigger capacity.

fivegears4reverse posted:Backwards Compatibility is something a lot of people clamor for, but it ultimately matters most when your console has nothing of value to play on it. See: The Xbox One, the PS3 post launch. So maybe Nintendo should have considered it seriously because if third parties abandon them again, they're gonna see a repeat of the Wii U where we wait out droughts in between major Nintendo releases. Games you owned digitally on the Wii transferred free to the U though(except one for some reason, maybe cause it was the first WiiWare title and they never had gotten the licensing worked out yet? And you had to use Wii mode of course) and all the DSi digital games transferred freely to the 3DS. And when they did start releasing retail Wii games on WiiU, they were $20. Obviously we're not going to get best case scenario(your entire 3ds and WiiU library playable and available for download at no cost day one), but I highly doubt you'll have to rebuy everything at full price.

The second stick on the GameCube was actually digital. However the Wii classic controller had two analogs. Also Wii remote was better for fps than twin stick by far.

How much could licensing the FX chip possibly cost? Just charge a buck more for those games and be done with it.

You just put your portion of the sales in a trust and if anyone comes around claiming it's theres and proves it in court you pay them the trust. It's not uncommon to use old technology or media like this. On the NES mini, I want to know how long the controller cord is. I can see the controller ports are just Wii accessory sockets, so you can plug in the classic controller, but the cord for the classic controller is 1.5, maybe 2 feet long. Hope the included controller cord is at least six feet.

Expect that to dominate the Nintendo news cycle til we hear about the NX Well it's still higher than it was at the start since it demonstrated the value of their IP.

Also finally development will not be split between two consoles. You take their output across two consoles and combined it, you get as ton of games. Even more if you eliminate redundant games, opening up development for more new games.

Black Mage Knight posted:It is worth noting that the upcoming Sonic 2017 game is going to be on PS4 XBone and NX so that does suggest some level of similar performance between the hardware (unless the NX version is going to be a complete different game). It's weird Mania was not listed as being on NX though, since that seems it would be a cheaper and easier port.

Comrade Fakename posted:I am worried that the NX will use the X1 chip and not the X2 that a lot of people are assuming. This article on Eurogamer: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-nintendo-nx-mobile-games-machine-powered-by-nvidia-tegra makes it clear that the only information they have right now is that the NX uses X1, though there are some clues that it might use X2. I like the sound of those clues, but I think that an X1-powered console would be a big disappointment for me, especially since I play most of my games on the TV. I agree it's pretty dumb to see a bunch of websites reporting it must be the X2 because even though their sources say it's an X1, they had one source who says it has an audible fan and an X1 wouldn't need an audible fan so THEREFORE. But it will probably be fine either way. Whichever chip it has you can't just directly compare it to some other device because this will have its own design and architecture and other specs.
