Really the best thing for everyone would be for Nintendo to stop making garbo home consoles and just make games for PC and good consoles like Sega does now

I heard it has sync issues but only when you're trying to play from 15 feet away?

It's 10 feet, and people in the Switch thread in games were acting like you'd have to live in a kingly mansion to sit 10 feet away from your TV lolz

It will be a massive disappointment because there's no way any game for it can be as entertaining as laughing at people who only socialize online talking about what happens at parties.

Rock Band is a legit good party game. So are the Jackbox packs.

However you play these both at indoor parties and the switch is too tiny to play at outdoor parties, you don't want to play video games at outdoor parties, and indoors you can't have any players sit more than 9 feet away and also can't have anyone move in front of the controllers soooooo

if sony hadn't been dumb as gently caress about memory on the Vita, and would've offered TV out via the expansion port on the first gen Vitas, it would've easily been worth the price, it's a great system that Sony couldn't resist loving up because Sony

it just occurred to me that the Vita TV should've been what the dock for the switch is apparently trying to be, it should've just been a dock that had upscaled video output and charging and USB ports for controllers

Supposedly it barely charges if you play it while docked.

Nintendo just needs to develop more of their first party IP. Why the gently caress is switch not launching with a Mario game, a metroid game, a pilotwings game, a DK game, an F zero game, and a Kirby game? That poo poo would sell a trillion units at launch

Because they are following the wildly successful WiiU model of only releasing one good exclusive every 8-12 months.

Yeah but it requires a WiiU which is a similarly ill advised console

As a slight derail, would many/any of the classic and new Nintendo franchises STILL be as hugely popular if Nintendo became a 3rd Party publisher or would they quickly be drowned out by other third party releases?

It depends.I think Mario will always always sell but some of the other franchises that haven't had a good title in many years like Metroid or Starfox would probably suffer. Also, niche poo poo like Pikmin would be dead on arrival.

The one benefit of only releasing on their garbage consoles that third parties won't touch is that owners are so starved for titles that they will buy up pretty much anything for it in order to have SOMETHING to play.

Starfox is a not great as a franchise game because the first one was only neat because the Super FX chip let them do early 3d graphics on a SNES and nobody had really seen anything like that before.

I mean maybe every fourth Mario game is actually good too, but Nintendo fans act like each one is the glorious second coming

Edit: Super Mario World 3D is a garbage game for babies, but every WiiU owner was crying tears of joy over it

Lol, Nintendo. All you gotta do is fuckin' release a console with decent specs, then you get 3rd party support and everyone will buy it because Nintendo games are good, and if people can get their call of doody and their battlefield aswell it's a compelling product. Instead we get this lovely garbage underpowered tablet that's gonna have like one good game a year and is absolutely not a compelling product. It's so loving easy, why do they do this

It's really the dumbest loving thing. Even if they were in love with their dumb loving gimmicks, they could still hedge their bets by
having rough parity with the big consoles and still have their gimmicks as an added feature to incentivise sales.

The Vita is a cool console that has 2 major design flaws that ruin the whole thing.

Proprietary, way too pricey storage, and not having the exact same controls as a PS3/Ps4, making Remote Play sketchy at best.

Well, true. I guess it's just a funny design thing.

Here's a nice flaw in the Vita TV: blacklisting of Vita titles which work totally fine on it when said blacklist is removed.

Some of them are due to hardware differences, like Touch My Katamari is blocked, but if I recall it played perfectly fine when I tried it, you just couldn't do the touch stuff as easily [touch can be emulated using the DS3 or via the DS4 touch pad].

Lumines though? Why block that? Eat dongs, Sony. t:mad:

Vita TV is garbage.

I actually remote play on my Vita from my PS4 on the occasion I don't need triggers or analog stick presses and it's a fantastic feature. It just doesn't work on a ton of games due to missing controls
