Serak posted:https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/feb/22/classic-nintendo-theres-already-a-game-too-big-for-the-switch-hard-drive Not to defend Nintendo here (they've made some ridiculously stupid decisions in the past) but this is such a stupid criticism. -the vita shipped with literally zero storage. To play any game you needed to expand the storage. -the 3DS comes with 4gb. Plenty of games require more to download -"all other consoles come with more storage" is comparing a cheap, physically large, spinning hard drive to on board flash which is idiotic -micro SD is hilariously cheap and Nintendo could have been cocks and used proprietary cards but they didn't -anyone buying digitally instead of physical deserves this fate -I've never felt the touch of a woman

bradzilla posted:Also every home console since 2006(except Nintendo consoles) have shipped with adequate storage so these are bullshit excuses dude I know but those are all spinny hard drives (Nintendo likes using solid state for everything.) When the 360 had a flash drive it had 256mb lol (and it was called the Xbox Live Arcade model)

Klyith posted:given the pitiful battery life the switch has, even the tethered to the outlet part of this picture is accurate the battery life isn't that far off from what the 3DS is believe it or not. also someone posted the insides of a switch and the battery is easily serviceable; it's just held on with a little black and red wire, you just unplug it identical to the wii U gamepad Klyith posted:Sure. But for the life of the system, even when downloadable games became A Thing and they started offering reasonable size drives, they still charged out the rear end for their dumb proprietary drives. Which were just an average slow laptop drive with magic bios and a plastic caddy. Remember when Microsoft was charging $20 for this?  lol Blazing Ownager posted:I'm going to say it right now: The 360 Arcade nerfed an entire generation of consoles in ways most people don't realize. I loving despise that console. A lot of people don't know what Microsoft did with this, but basically: Actually that started way before the Arcade 360 came out. At launch, the standard 360 came with no hard drive (and the "pro" one came with 20gb). but the Arcade model was especially hilarious because the whole point of it was "XBox Live Arcade downloads" hence the name. So they marketed for that use but shipped it with a 256mb hard drive. and actually the pricing was worse than I remembered for the hard drives. a 120gb xbox 360 hard drive retailed for $180  they were literally laptop hard drives in a plastic case with a weird connector on it. You could literally open the plastic shell up and use it in a laptop and all you'd have to do is format it. edit: they also charged $99 USD for a loving wifi dongle, and there were no 3rd party options Chumbawumba4ever97 fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Feb 23, 2017 |

Blaise330 posted:This is going to be like the 5th console in a row i'll regret not buying in bulk and ebaying. I'll never learn. when Smash Bros Wii U came out, I was waiting outside the store and was bullshitting with one other guy waiting. He told me to buy the Wii Fit Trainer and the Animal Crossing kid amiibos. I knew nothing about that stuff but I figured 10 bux each it's worth a shot. I got $150 for both of them on ebay. While there I also picked up the Wii U to Gamecube controller adapter for $20. When I went to a friend's house that day, we used the one he bought, so mine was still new. Like a day later I saw they were going for $110 on eBay lol. I sold it and just waited for them to be back in stock (I had no idea they were going to be "rare" for a while). So long story short I made $220 in profit just because I went to the store to get Smash Bros I bet the Switch Pro controllers end up going for big money for a month or two.

Universe Master posted:The dock, literally nothing but HDMI out and power in, costs $90. Hahaha I think when docked it overclocks the system (so it can handle 1080p) so maybe there's a fan in there too? Also these things cost $60: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Delivery-Charging-Specification-ChromeBook/dp/B018XF4KRC Still a bit of a rip though.

Uncle Wemus posted:I've never seen nintendo hype die so fast than with the switch No joke this is 100% the case. When the DS first came out, all these loving stupid local news stations did reports on HOW CHILD PREDATORS ARE GOING TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR CHILDREN! TONIGHT AT 10. And you know what it was about? loving Pictochat that was built into the original DS. poo poo like that is why they won't even allow you to use custom Miis in Smash online. Obviously it's not incapable of doing it. They just don't want news reports about Timmy playing Smash against Hitler. The abysmal way they handle digital downloads is unrelated though.

WhyteRyce posted:I saw an article referring to Breath of the Wild as a system seller, but can something really be a system seller if it's available on the previous generation? honestly I am not even remotely psyched for Breath of the Wild. I went on Wikipedia to look at the director for the game, and here's his resume: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages Game Boy Color Director, planner, scenario writer[3] 2002 The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Game Boy Advance Director, planner 2004 The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Game Boy Advance Director, planner, writer 2007 The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Nintendo DS Subdirector, story writer[1] 2011 The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Wii Director[7] 2017 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Why does anyone think this is going to be a good one when all he's made are "barely decent" to "total poo poo" Zelda games?

kikkelivelho posted:You joke, but there's definitely some truth to the idea that Nintendo has failed to adapt to the growths and changes of the gaming scene. They still seem to think that games are the electronic toys of the early 90s and that the people playing their products are young teenage boys with little intellectual capacity. The modern gaming landscape is dominated by Sony because of titles like the Last of Us. Modern gamers want their games to not only test their skills but to also make them think and that's something that Nintendo absolutely doesn't want to do. it's a bit more simple than that. Games like The Last of Us are ridiculously expensive to make and Mario 3D World is way the hell cheaper to make in every single way (especially with not having to hire the girl from Juno).

Universe Master posted:Nintendo would make a gently caress-ton of cash if they teamed with apple and made some sort of useful wrap around controller for the iphone. I think they are the only ones who could do it because people would be wary of buying a controller and a full price phone game unless it was Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc. This is an actually interesting discussion on a forum that isn't gamefaqs. As counterpoints to your arguments, Nintendo breaks even on consoles, and hell, sometimes they even make money on them. Then there's the benefit of piracy being ridiculously difficult (compared to iPhone, Android, and PC) on consoles. Excluding the Wii because that thing was hacked within like 2 years of release (the 3DS and WiiU took forever). And the final reason is Nintendo would no longer be able to charge $60 for games. You think they aren't going to take a huge hit when Super Mario 3D World 2 goes from them making a $45 profit per sale compared to $13? And how are you going to get games that are 20+ gigs to fit on an iPhone with 32gb of storage (that isn't upgradeable)? "Welp, my entire collection literally cannot be more than 3 games" is not something I would imagine they'd want many people saying. I know this is nerd poo poo but I like talking business so if there are counterpoints to this I genuinely would like to discuss them!
