I mean gently caress, look at that Gamecube at the end.

They had to be durable, it's one of the few consoles that encourages you to carry it around through its design.

Nintendo tells the world "we don't really make Pokemon Go", and their stock drops like a rock. Expect that to dominate the Nintendo news cycle til we hear about the NX

quote:

The Pokémon Company, which is an affiliated company of Nintendo Co., Ltd. (the "Company"), holds the ownership rights to Pokémon. The Pokémon Company is going to receive a licensing fee as well as compensation for collaboration in the development and operations of the application.
(Nintendo) owns 32% of the voting power of The Pokémon Company. The Pokémon Company is the Company’s affiliated company, accounted for by using the equity method. Because of this accounting scheme, the income reflected on the Company’s consolidated business results is limited.
Also, a peripheral device for use with the application, "Pokémon GO Plus," which will be produced and distributed by the Company, is scheduled for release. All of the above are reflected in the financial forecast ending March 31, 2017 as set forth on April 27, 2016.

I don't know if "investors are idiots who didn't pay attention" reflects that badly on Nintendo, who was not in the news period before the game came out. Plus as greatn mentioned, the Verge article I found gave a 17% drop, after the last few weeks' ~45% bump. It makes for some funny articles about investors not doing their due diligence though.

NX won't have a touch screen or detachable controllers, it'll have 2 leather gloves with embedded fingertip sensors so every surface becomes either. You can hold any old controller you feel like!

I liked Wii Sports golf where you put the gamepad on the ground and could see the ball in sand/etc. with the club head visible. Unfortunately stuff like that means your game requires at least one additional controller of some kind. If only the sides could've detached from the gamepad screen or something...

Phones can be cool if the games are suited to the nature of the device. We played one where everyone is on their own phone with a different spaceship control panel, and you have to shout at each other which levers and buttons they need to press based on instructions only you can see. Simple touch controls, but leveraging many different screens isolated from one another.

If it's a gameboy type RPG or platformer with touch buttons, not interested. If it's an infinite runner/bird throwing/jem stacking game, still not interested. But there's at least some creativity here and there.

I'm not surprised there's no mic, I can't even talk to my buddy privately in online MK unless we want to race just the two of us. They did such a great job on Miiverse IMO trying something new, but then handicap every feature that would appeal to adults who don't live on the same street as their friends.

They just announce the PS4 slim and a PS4 that has some resolution/performance improvements. It's not really a trainwreck, just dull and everything in it had leaked before. Don't bother.

Part of me wonders what would happen if Nintendo just didn't release any info until shortly beforehand, for real. Challenge the modern perception that people need 6-12 months of mental preparation before a product appears in stores.

Not finding a lot of good writing on the subject though.

This thread gets less amusingly childlish and a lot more Internet Nerd Venomous when actual details are released to argue over whether or not it means Nintendo Is Doomed anyway.

Generally people don't want to spend money on something that is a very very slightly better version of a thing they already have. Some people have money and still choose not to blow it on unnecessary purchases. Hth.

The original post wasn't really that, it was "I know I am spending several hundred dollars regardless but I'm mad you won't tell me if it's 200 or 300 the year before". So your post didn't even h and you shouldn't be H about it!

I don't quite follow what one has to do with the other. Many actual journalists don't actually work on the software/hardware they report on (not calling NWplayer one, dunno who that is). You just have to be active crawling the pages of people who do.

QUESTION

I noticed that the Amiibo in the trailer had red bases instead of black

Is this already a thing, and what does it mean?

If it's a new thing, what do you think it might mean?

If an Amiibo has done something bad, I mean REALLY bad, the base turns red and you shouldn't use it anymore.
