Nintendo should honestly pull out of the hardware market.

There's no competition right now and things are just fine.

Both the Wii U and Xbox One are commercial failures, in what way is there competition for Sony?

If that controller is the real NX controller, Nintendo is hosed. Could you imagine the constant fingerprints all over that thing?


The poo poo Microsoft tried to pull prior to the Xbone release is what happens when a company thinks they don't have competition. The benefits we have from the PS4 launch is a result of competition. You have no clue what you are talking about.

Edit: Why the gently caress is this website correcting x b o n e into Xbox One?

I'm talking about the here and now, not three years ago around this time when both consoles were announced, which is no longer relevant. I know exactly what I am talking about.

Facebook has informed me that Nintendo is going to make video games on the NX using their existing popular characters such as Mario and Zelda. Breaking news that no one could possibly have predicted.

Straight up hell freezing over once this game is released. A fan project made by one dude over the course of 6 years that did not fail, have a team broke up, or shut down by Nintendo.

Once he releases it into the wild he better hope it doesn't actually gain much if any attention, or enough people play it to be cool enough to pay his legal fees. I mean I hope he doesn't get sued but Nintendo is notoriously hostile towards fan projects of their IPs.

Still don't get why I should care about the NX when the Wii U was a commercial failure. It seems like Nintendo should be going in a completely different direction now and get out of home consoles.

You don't consider combining home & mobile consoles to be a new direction?

If that is what Nintendo is really doing, they probably are not.

They should make mobile games.

Wait a just a minute!

Okay, so they are going to do both at once and be good at neither as a result.

"Nothing" is inaccurate.

lol their logo isn't even shown anywhere on Pokemon Go. Other then owning 30% of Game Freak, Nintendo has close to zero involvement with Pokemon. Nintendo is making almost nothing off of Go.

It seems to be doing well for their shares and profits.

Have you heard about the NES Classic?

To be fair, the Switch is using an Nvidia chip that has been available for a few years now, it's mass produced and readily available. There should be very little issue with getting this system.

Massive negative, Switch is not backwards compatible.

They are just using the processor from the Nvidia Shield, no one bought those so this really shouldn't be a problem in my opinion.

Okay, I didn't realize an Xenoblade 2 was in development. That makes me really want a Switch once the game actually comes out.

The idea of X being a prequel to 1 is kind of mindblowing, but I'd love to see how they would pull that off. Then again, I haven't been keeping up to date on Xenoblade stuff.

There's been nothing to really keep up on. I don't think Xenoblade and X were related to each other. Xenoblade 2 looks better because it's doing away with the giant robots... I can't believe I just said that, but piloting those giant robots was really hard and their fuel mechanic was annoying. I hope Xenoblade 2 has better world design and is better balanced.

Am I weird to say that I think that Nintendo has a better console UI than Sony or Microsoft?

Or in more accurate terms, a less worse one?

It looks like your typical phone or tablet UI. The Wii U interface really sucked because it was so slow, I just need Nintendo to fix that problem on Switch.

So has Nintendo talked about what VC is compatible with Switch yet? Really want to replay Xenoblade but if I can replay it on Switch with Wii VC I'd take that over playing it on New 3DS.

There's no backwards compatibility of any kind for Wii U or Wii. Nintendo won't be able to do this because the Switch is totally different hardware, where the Wii and Wii U are the same.

That's, uh, pretty high ambitions from Nintendo.

Realistically the Switch will probably do slightly better then the Wii U.
