Anyone else legitimately break down and cry at today's news?
Earlier this morning I felt pretty shitty about it, but there's no point in worrying until more is revealed. I'm swallowing the blue pill of people saying it's just a tactic to draw a new market into their core platforms.
>>287296287
What happened? I was too busy gaming to browse /v/.
No, but it felt like a punch in the gut. I've been playing nintendo stuff since the 80s. I own a Wii U, but I've mostly moved on to other things. I still can't help but root for Nintendo. They're like vidya comfort food for me.
>>287296491
Nintendo partnered with some company and their now making mobile games.
>>287296391
WHAT . THE . FUCK . ARE . YOU . WORRIED . ABOUT?
SERIOUSLY!? I watched the whole fucking thing , I'm a lifelong diehard Nintendrone and there isen't a spec of bad news that came out today.
Did you people not EVEN FUCKING WATCH IT!? WHY IS ANYBODY EVEN TALKING ABOUT THIS!?
>>287296491
Copy this, got no idea what's occurred.
>>287296601
>black theme
>he has a neoGAF account
Nothing has even happened yet, holy shit. At least wait to see what happens.
>>287296287
no
i dont cry over videogames
>Implying it's a negative thing
Not long till a long awaited game comes out eh?
Let's see if it holds.
>>287296584
Incorrect , They are allowing a company under supervision to incorporate nintendo IPS into mobile content.
You guys are all fucking retarded , nobody fucking watched the damn thing , Dont listen to any of this shit on here today.

Nintendo shifting away from hardware and making phone games. It's over.
what was the news
Wait and see what happens
Then if they are shit with mobile thing
Kill yourself
>>287296287
It was a long time coming, seriously who didn't see this coming?
Be prepared for DLC out the ass, cash shops, etc from Nintendo, they are joining their peers.
>>287296705
>>287296491
A Mobile company in Japan has been given the right to use Nintendo content in mobile games. As we as creating a more unified account system between all Nintendo platforms.
No , Nintendo is not going full force into mobile games , just dabbling a bit , and more on the technical account side of things.
More money in Nintendo pockets is good as long as they continue console gaming.
I think they can't really abandon it like that, unless Miyamoto literally dies or ragequit they have to get him his playground
>>287296287
Nintendo announces a new gaming system based around a new mechanic and this makes you sad? You're a faggot
>>287296762
This. Lets wait till E3 before we so completely crazy.
Depending on what happens I might new to get a smartphone now.
Why would you be upset that a company you like made a wise financial decision that will prolong and further embed their business into the minds of their users? If anyone should be crying it's all the faggots that think it's cool to hate Nintendo.
I'm actually pretty satisfied by the news. I can't wait to hear/see all the buttblasted Sonybros and Xboners.
>>287296951
Nintendo announced a two-screen handheld. Bottom screen is touch.
As someone who primarily plays Sony games, this is a good thing. Nintendo has always had good games that would mostly be better in handheld (if they're not there already), but their hardware (especially their god awful controllers barring the GC) and system infrastructure has always been shit.
Nintendo for handheld and mobile games on the go.
Sony for sitting on the couch with your buddies.
PC for digging deep into a quality game.
>>287296287
Do we really need another sticky?
>>287297175
Damn...
Shit...
Woah...
“As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business, let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept under the development codename “NX.” It is too early to elaborate on the details of this project, but we hope to share more information with you next year.”
>>287297248
I would probably buy some of their games if I didn't have to buy their hardware honestly
>>287296938
Well shit. I guess that is it, then. I mean, I'll always take an interest in Nintendo's affairs, but there goes any impetus to make content for any audience a micron above the lowest common denominator.
Bless you Nintendo, wherever the hell you're heading.
>>287297248
>Nintendo for handheld and mobile games on the go.
I'm sorry but Nintendo EAD Home Console games > Handheld Games
You can't prove me wrong.

I've been Nintendo gaming since I was 3.
Big whoop. There's nothing to lose heart over, yet. To me, this is the equivalent of going from cartridges to CD's.
Let's see what, if anything, happens to the games FIRST before calling it quits.
>>287296287
Yea, I did.
Remember when Square announced they were making mobile games but focusing on console?
It's all downhill from here.
I literally love Nintendo. They're the one constant in my life from childhood. The rest of the industry went to shit and they existed in their little bubble, giving us the only good games this gen. Now it's over. Nintendo will be a shell of it's former self in a few years.
>>287296601
>he's a squidfaggot too

>>287296287
Are you fucking kidding me? That conference was god tier. Nintendo is about to fucking ramhouse this motherfucker.

>>287297358
>>287297364
None of their current titles are coming to mobile. New titles based on their current IP only. And it will be a new company making these. Not EAD.
Which Nintendo franchise do you think will play best as an endless runner?
I'm thinking F-Zero.
>>287297248
>PC for digging deep into a quality game.
More like digging deep down the shitter.
>>287297523
>To me, this is the equivalent of going from cartridges to CD's.
It's mobile. It's more like going from cartridges to floppy disks.
>>287297248
Except this shits all over the ds4, and yes I have both. 70 hour battery life vs 7 hour battery life, and it has a far better d pad and sticks.
>>287297527
>implying Square-Enix makes hardware
Comparing the two is apples and oranges.

I want a Nintendo Supported Smarmphone.
>>287297527
Good, you faggots need a wakeup call so you can come down from your high of Reggie and Iwata farts. They're not benevolent entity, they don't care about you personally. They're a fucking company and they want your money more than anything.
>>287296287
I really don't understand what everyone's so upset about. Today's announcement is actually great news. Based DeNA seems like just the shot in the arm Nintendo needs right now.
>People are actually this retarded
1. Nintendo isn't making the games themselves.
2. No Nintendo titles will be used, instead new titles with old IPs will be made
3. DeNA was chosen for it's web service construction and operation know-how
>>287297714
>he never had a portable CD player
But you get what I'm saying here.
As long as hardware buttons are involved, I'm happy to potentially play games on my smartphone that I carry with me all the time.
I mean this thing's just SCREAMING for Pokemon, and WarioWare, and Kirby's Tilt 'N Tumble 2, etc.
>>287297715
It's a secondary controller. You lose features using it. You shouldn't have to compromise on order to not have a shit controller. The good one should come standard.
>>287297685
I'd rather it stay dead
hope this ends up as another CD-i, just look at the level of quality involved >>287297887
New mobile nintendo game:Nintendo VN
>>287298090
Every worthwhile Wii U game supports it, and yea, it's FAR better than the DS4 which is just mediocre.
If it had offset sticks it would be the GOAT controller. The battery life alone might put it there anyway.
>>287297053
>As we as creating a more unified account system between all Nintendo platforms.
Fucking finally. The account system they have right now is pants on head retarded.
The real question is why is Nintendo getting in the mobile bubble NOW, just add it's starting to die down?
The bubble is bursting, and Nintendo wants in on it now?
Okay.
I think we actually need another sticky, people ITT don't seem to know a fucking thing.
>>287296584
I don't understand how bad that can be. It's not like their going to drop consoles for a phone that has a touch screen. It would be like marvel making movies instead of writing com...oh no.

>Nintendo amasses more profit from it in just days than they did in total from Smash 4
>Nintendo then releases their next mainline pokemon titles as mobile exlusives with even more cash shop shit
>Nintendo reports record-breaking profits overnight far surpassing any other Pokemon releases

Because that decision is made to attract a demographic that isn't me and runs contrary to my interests in the company
i.e. Focusing on traditional platforms entirely.

>>287298309
Doesn't matter. It's still a secondary controller. Ever system has god tier secondary controllers, sometimes made by other companies, sometimes not. It's more shit you have to buy, and the reason you have to buy it is because the controller Nintendo included with the console is fucking retarded.
Also
>Every worthwhile game
Is not every game.
>>287297839
This, at the very least it'll be a good wake up call for stubborn Nintentoddlers in the long run. And damn do they need it, after shamelessly supporting amiibo, controller gimmicks, scalping, casualization of the main franchises and so on.
Maybe now, some of them won't blindly follow Nintendo anymore.
>>287297832
HM is a good game.Not Hotline Miami, that's shit. :^)
This board is incapable of having a nuanced, and mature discussion about this, why does everyone think Nintendo is quitting their console and handheld businesses altogether?
>>287298703
something like this will happen. maybe not that extreme.
and nintendrones will slop that shit up.
>>287297590
I really hope he goes through with it.
>>287298913
I fucking love pokemon and i'll drop the series in a heartbeat if this happens.

And for that, I thank you.
>>287299248
That's honestly better than digital DLC characters though, not that either is ideal.
>>287298441
When the DS came out, Nintendo said that they would be supporting both the GBA and DS equally.
Guess what happened to the GBA when the DS started making money.
>>287297590
You are what's wrong with the internet.
>>287298872
No ones buying a 200 dollaru console when they can play pokemon and mario on there smartphones.
Get real nintenbabbies, the delusions are pathetic
>>287299284
Honestly i'm worried about the future of the series, even before this announcement. The last game was depressingly easy.
Best case scenario, the smartphone kiddies get their piss easy games, and REAL handhelds with buttons get ones with at least a little bit of challenge. It won't happen though.
>>287299307

No, it would under no circumstances be better. If you want a statue, buy a statue. If you want content for a video game that's not included with the game out of the box, download it. You shouldn't have to snipe some faggot on Ebay to get extra content for a video game.
>>287299349
Yeah, but the DS was a superior console. This is just the CDi again. They're gonna make some shitty mobile games with Nintendo characters, fail miserably, and be pushed into the corner with the virtual boy and the 64 disc drive.
>>287299880
>If you want a statue, buy a statue. If you want content for a video game that's not included with the game out of the box, download it
I want both and I don't have much money.
>>287296287
No, because Iwata reassured us that they still have absolute focus on proper console/handheld releases.
This is a side project.
>>287296601
>He goes to Neogaf.

>Gaming is moving into a place where we don't own wacky hardware for each game, special tailor made harware with it's own quirks and games made for it
>Everything becomes a one size fits all, all languages and denominations, free of any content that would offend any singular human on the planet, all homogenous with clinically perfect graphics and no fucking soul at all
Fuck this god damn shit. I have allways had a powerful PC, but I've allways respected the quirky dodgyness of console/nintendo hardware, because those limitations and what not allow the developers to think outside the box to make things happen.
If every single game becomes a multiplat, it'll just become bland and no sparkle anymore. I look at the steam store page, every day there are 20 new releases all with generic names and design as the ones the day before.
That is the future we're choosing.
>>287300994
>That is the future we're choosing.
We didn't choose it. Everyone else choose it for us.
>>287296997
They already did that with DLC and Amiibos.
>>287300283
The quality of the product doesn't matter. Whichever makes more money, is what they will cater to. And considering the average intelligence of smartphone "gamers" Nintendo will make a killing off of this.
>>287301114
This. I haven't had a game I liked since 2004.

Not when said figures are worse quality than $6 nendoroid petits for twice the price and are printed in limited quantities.
Amiibos are pure essence of Jewry tempered into the cheapest plastic avialable.
>>287296287
I was stunned because Nintendo seemed to generally disfavor the mobile market of games that don't appear on their systems. I am ultimately curious as what will happen to the 3DS from here on. If the new mobile games do really well then it could start to put a clamp on the 3DS.
I tried playing a few popular mobile games over the course of the last week and holy shit are people mentally defunct? The core gameplay loop of half of this shit is to tap some buildings and then wait an increasing amount of time to tap them again, or pay money to tap them again right away. How does this shit stay entertaining for people?
>>287301724
This just in: people are idiots.
>>287296287
At Nintendo branching out into other markets while still staying rooted in their primary market? Why?
>>287296287
>nintendo fans don't want change because that means getting out of their child mental state and realize they are just money machines for the Nintendo Corporation
Why would I cry about getting mobile Nintendo titles alongside a new dedicated gaming platform in the coming years? Or are you just spreading the wild misinformation that Nintendo is ditching the proper games market in favor of iOS games like an insufferable little shit?
>>287301610
The last time Nintendo announced that they'd support a "third pillar" and that it would not replace any existing systems, they immediately dropped their "second pillar."
That third pillar was Nintendo DS and the second pillar was GBA.
>Nintendo partners with mobile developer to allow use of Nintendo IPs in mobile games under Nintendo's supervision
>Iwata confirms new dedicated video game hardware in the process to let people know that they aren't dropping consoles
>He reiterates they will continue developing games as they have been and the smartphone games will not be watered down ports of existing or new console games
That's all you really need to know.
Anybody implying Nintendo has gone full mobile and is ditching dedicated hardware is shitposting/intentionally spreading misinformation.
>>287296416
So Nintendo announced that they would be replacing the N3DS and the WiiU within a couple of years, making both worthless, and you think that this will draw a new market into their platforms?
The WiiU's only been out for 2 years, and the N3DS just launched. To me, that's the sign of blood in the water.
based Nintendo they know that very soon phones will be more powerful than the WiiU.
Smash, Mario party, MarioKart will be played on phone
They haven't made any noteworthy shot since gcn / n64 days so eh, I can deal with it
>>287296287
Yeah it pissed me off greatly
A guy from my college class got breathing problems and is now taking a break at the other end of the country.
>>287302251
Go ahead and point me to a quote of Iwata saying any of those things. I'll be waiting patiently.
>>287302251
They announced that they may reveal their new systems in a couple years, meaning the new systems will be released in 2018-2019. Of course, this announcement is not set in stone.
>>287296287
I was full TUMBLING DOWN mode last night, but looking at everything now there are some entirely good things (a real Nintendo account system, possibly extending to PC gaming).
It is possible the mobile games might not be entirely shit, I don't see a problem with $5 one-time-pay WarioWare style minigame collections. I'm just worried because the mobile platform is so inherently shitty and cancerous and Nintendo isn't directly developing the games, there's plenty more potential for it to turn into microtransaction "pay 0.99 for Mario to jump higher" bullshit.
Some of the speculation about the NX is also promising or at least interesting, like it potentially being a standalone/third platform "Nitnendo Tablet" sort of thing, like a powerful WiiU controller with both touchscreen and buttons options.
More important than anything is that Nintendo is acknowledging they can't just sit on their Wii/DS/3DS money forever and are actually taking drastic action to stay relevant, which is very promising for the future if they can avoid selling their soul.
>>287296287
I seriously considered either going full /vr/ or just dropping gaming completely. This hobby is fucking dead.
>>287299349
Got scrapped 2-3 years after the DS launched, having a healthy 5-6 year run as a console?
Besides, the DS could even play GBA games.
there making a new console? ffs I just bought a WiiU
>>287296287
Hahahahhahahahahahahahahaha
>>287302609
I sold my consoles and deleted my Steam account nearly a year ago.
This shit is just getting worse and worse every month.
Now i only play emulator games and GOG games. Zelda U, Bloodborne and Purse Owner can die for all i care.
>>287297949
>new titles with old IPs
Itawa specifically said there are no sacred cows, any and all Nintendo IPs are on the table, from Mario and Pokémon to Metroid and Advance Wars
>>287296287
Aren't you all a bunch of fucking drama queens
>>287302794
It won't be out for another 2 years, at least.
>>287302739
The point is they said one thing and did the opposite.
>>287301724
Better than looking out the window while in the bus.
>>287299349
They stopped making them because the DS could play GBA games? Idiot.
>>287296287
what happened?
>>287296287
Aren't handhelds already mobile?
What difference is there going to be? More F2P games?
>nintendo: we're gonna dabble with mobile games a little, but we're not giving up the dedicated games market; in fact, we're working on an entirely new gaming platform to be discussed next year!

Fund it
I still don't know what exactly was announced since I woke up after this shit happened.
I know there's something about Nintendo getting involved with mobile gaming somehow and there's something called an NX, but that's it.
>>287296882
You forgot the part where Nintendo and tye other company traded stock with each other. Nintemdo apparently wants to be more than just friends.
>>287298441
I see it as the following, they make an bonus profit of casuls, and they can fund core games i'd get.
It's a win-win.
Or i'm just being too positive.
>>287302961
Money can change the nature of a man
And there is very much money to be found in the mobile market
I'm personally hoping it will be stuff like the Pikmin movies for mobile, but it probably won't be so
>>287303102
NX is the prototype name for their next console.
>>287303208
Next platform. They didn't elaborate on it being a console or handheld.
>>287303191
That would be why they're dabbling in it, yeah. Lot of money involved. It's a smart move. They're not giving up on home hardware, clearly, so what the fuck is the big deal?
Is everyone in this thread retarded? You guys had a heart attack when SEGA Sammy bought Atlus, did anything happen? Hell no.
Now you all are calling doomsday over a partnership. Not a merger, not a buyout, a PARTNERSHIP. You all are retarded.
Worst we'll get is like, Pokemon puzzle games and maybe a Mario run and jump game. That's it.
>>287302251
>announced that they would be replacing the N3DS and the WiiU within a couple of years
1. No they didn't, you fucking retard
2. Yes, every single console by every single hardware manufacturer has been "replaced within a couple years". At the absolute earliest NX will be replacing either system maybe half a year earlier than is typical, assuming it's a direct replacement to either at all.
>making both worthless
Because everyone knows once the next gen starts, the old consoles and games disappear and publishers ignore them completely.
>>287303302
Every time your mom breaths, she gets nothing but cocks in her mouth

Name one game that was developed for Wii once the WiiU was released.
>>287296938
>Nintendo shifting away from hardware and making phone games.
Except, if you were actually paying attention, this is the exact opposite of what is true. They said they are more focused on consoles than ever and announced their next generation console. Mobile gaming is just going to be a supplement to what they are really doing.
Honestly, I'd rather see them try this ambitious conglomerate of the mobile and console markets and risk turning into another King.com then them recede into an increasingly shaky business model and just die. Also I keep thinking back to how Celebi had to be unlocked through japanese cell phones.
No, because all Nintendo is doing is let DeNA develop some apps using the Nintendo IPs to advertise their real gaming consoles: Wii U, 3DS and NX (3DS successor)
>>287303054
I did, nothing but fags saying something about nintendo and mobile phone games. They announced this months ago that they were going to advertise in the mobile market but not actually make full games for them.

>>287303975
You weren't here when Nintendo 'stole' Bayonetta from XBox and PS3?
Also, Nintendo's probably just going to do something they did back in the 90s. Pokemon Puzzle League games and Yoshi Cookie and shit like that. Calm the fuck down, everyone.
>>287303993
It's doing worse than the gamecube. No surprise they are going to replace it so fast.
>>287304207
Are you retarded?
3DS has been out since 2011.
NX is the 3DS successor set to release in 2017
Nah. Only figuratively.
>>287303993
They said "new dedicated video game platform". They said nothing indicating whether it was a console or handheld.
>>287304394
>NX is the 3DS successor set to release in 2017
None of which you have a source for.
It's time.
>>287304529
I'll give you a hint, it's not replacing the one that isn't selling like absolute dogshit.
>>287302521
I'm not that mongoloid, but Itawa more or less said the NX is going to be "officially" revealed in 2016 (presumably at E3), and assuming it is the successor to the Wii U, precedent says it will likely be released around November 2017.

Find them yourself.
On the handheld side of things, the DS's last Pokémon games were released over a year after the 3DS came out.
>>287304581
No, but it's the logical conclusion.
3DS is pretty much done and can only pump out a few more games during these two last years it has
>>287304581
It's an educated guess based on a source saying that they are planning on revealing a new dedicated gaming platform next year. Try using your brain for once rather than just regurgitation text.

why are people acting like the NX is going to come out next year? At the earliest it'll be out in 2017.
By then the Wii U will have been out for 5 years since it came out in 2012. So a 5-6 year console lifespan just like every other nintendo home console

Considering how many people just ponied up money for the N3DS, I genuinely look forward to people still sucking Nintendo's dick by getting the new handheld the very second it releases, and talking about how awesome it is.
Personally, I knew that the N3DS was just a hold over until they would release their next handheld, likely in 1-2 years. Maybe that one will actually be on par with the PSP. After all, it's been a solid decade. One would think that they might get around to matching the power and ease of use of the PSP at some point.
>>287305126
Well gee, they must be stopping the production on everything else to make these new mobile games!
>>287305126
>bought 10% of a company
Wowee, that's a big claim. I'm gonna need a source on that, because I've read several articles on this announcement and that's the first I've heard of any sort of purchase on Nintendo's part.
>>287296287
I went to sleep right after and had a nightmare.
>>287296287
no because i dont swear allegiance to a fucking video game company
You are all a bunch of beta nerds.
There is no way you would react even if Iwata gave you openly the finger and called you disgusting.
>>287305258

Still waiting on that source, bub.
>Leveraging the strength of Nintendo's intellectual property (IP) and game development skills in combination with DeNA's world-class expertise in mobile games, both companies will develop and operate new game apps based on Nintendo's IP, including its iconic game characters, for smart devices.
They are both gonna develop games for mobile.
>In order to create completely new game experiences for smart devices, all Nintendo IP will be eligible for development and exploration by the alliance.
We're gonna see mobile game representation of all of Nintendo's IPs.
>First games are coming out fall 2015
Iwata: "Only a handful of companies have become winners in this environment. If Nintendo does not become one of those handful of winners then it does not make sense for us to make software for those devices"
Nintendo is so serious about this that they plan to become the kings of mobile gaming.

Under the capital alliance, Nintendo will acquire 15,081,000 of DeNA's treasury shares, which corresponds to 10.00 percent of its total outstanding stock, for a total of approximately 22 billion yen. DeNA will simultaneously acquire 1,759,400 of Nintendo's treasury shares, which corresponds to 1.24 percent of its outstanding stock, for a total of approximately 22 billion yen. The payment is due April 2, 2015.
Nintendo's gonna print money from all the upcoming mobile games they're gonna release.
>>287306028
Well, that explains their complete domination of the handheld console market for three decades
I am mentally prepared for some CD-i level bad games coming out of this deal
>>287306074
Yep, meaning they'll stop making consoles, video games and handhelds, right?
>>287306157
Nah Nintendo's gonna make great mobile games because
a) they can use microtransactions and milk money off people
b) get them to buy their consoles and handhelds for the ones sick of microtransactions and just want the games
c)convince people to all download nintendo games
>>287305512

Well Nintendo moved from Love hotels to card games to mahjong sets to toys to video games.
They will surely move to mobiles only once consoles and handhelds stop making money.
>/v/ is full of retards saying "gaming is dead!" just because things are shitty for Nintendo
"It's a bad day for Nintendoland, therefore, the world!"
Nintendo has been shit for about 10 years now. I'm amazed it's taken you all this long to realize it. They never cared about you. You are not the audience they think they deserve. They want children and grandparents to buy their games-- not manchildren. They sold you out with the Wii and they're selling you out again by going mobile. They want nothing to do with you.
>>287306405
So you bought a Vita, huh?
>>287306024
this fucking image
>>287296287
what they should do is make like advertisment type games on the iphone and shit that advertise their handheld and console games, IF they make the dumb descion to make real games on phones they fucked themselves because then people will just ask them to port their other real games to iphone not wanting their hardware effectively killing them
If we see more pokedex 3d's on iphone nintendo will give fans a taste of whats on their console but if they release zelda iphone edition they kill all future handheld zeldas because people will want zelda for iphone 2.
Think of their iphone games as companion apps with no specific companion game, now if I am wrong and they do make full fledged games nintendo killed themselves and get no sympathy from me
>>287306472
I still think there's some Nintendo themed love hotel somewhere in Japan that they keep under wraps.
Would you like the Pikmin suite or the Donkey Kong Tropical Tree Hut? The Bowser Boom Boom Room?
>>287306534
Not who you are asking, but I actually own both. Nothing he said was incorrect, which is why you tried to challenge his credibility, rather than his words.
>>287306534
I've only owned every major Nintendo handheld, if you think their handhelds aren't outdated when they release you're a blind fanboy faggot that resorts to attacking other companies.
>First Nintendo copies Apple's iPod with the DS

>>287306865
His argument is retarded for both thinking that you need great hardware to make good games and for thinking people expect great hardware from handhelds of all systems
yes, I cried for the better half of the day. Ninty basically gave our enemies in war ammunition to shoot at us, the fans. I never thought ninty would do such a fucking horrid thing. now we will never hear the end of 'phonetendo' that's what we get for supporting Nintendo so long...
but then I thought this could be a good move. it'll be hell defending ninty for the next year, but they know what is best. The mobile move will essentially make them enough yen to support even bigger and better consoles and dedicated handhelds. and then the suffering in the meantime will pay off...
its all about delayed gratification. best solution IMO... Just avoid /v/ for a year. once NX comes out the sonyggers will have hell to pay. they will be purged from /v/ and ran back to Neogaf.
so don't fret too much OP. were in it together, and Ninty always comes out strong.
>>287306695
Iwata said they're not porting shit and DeNA's press release said they're not making apps but games.
So expect full featured fun Nintendo games on mobile that are built for touch screen and not cheap ports.
>>287307084
Bullshit.
im happy nintendo is doomed, they have been shit for a while.
Good riddance
Nintendo shares have surged 27% since the announcement.
Not necessarily a good thing in terms of getting quality games, but at least they aren't completely imploding.
>>287304529
NintendoSteam Machine
>>287307017
My argument to that is that the PSP is 10 years old. We've gotten to the point to where that kind of graphical fidelity would be very cheap, and Nintendo still hasn't matched it.
Personally, I don't care. I won't be buying their next handheld, nor their next console. Not until their VC library is actually worth a damn, and will be free to redownload on all subsequent purchases.
Yes, I will vote with my wallet, and I will vote over some of the most insignificant things.
>>287307187
Except this is making them stronger? More people will have access to Nintendo stuff, while giving Nintendo money.
>>287307153
>To ensure the quality of game experience that consumers expect from this alliance of Nintendo and DeNA, only new original games optimized for smart device functionality will be created, rather than porting games created specifically for the Wii U home console or the Nintendo 3DS portable system.

Coincidentally I did cry today while playing a Nintendo game, but for unrelated reasons.
>>287307361

>>287307084
welp then nintendo is dead you will be hearing this for years to come
"why buy a nintendo console all there games are on my phone"
"fucking nintendo I am not buying another console from you again"
"I do not own a wii u bring mario kart 8 to iphone"
"I do not want to pay 40 dollars for pokemon port to iphone as a free to play game"
This has to be the dumbest idea ever now people who were on the fence for nintendo to go third party have this to use as a reason to say they should
>>287307363
Bullshit.
It's over. Nintendo is doomed.
Bullshit.
>>287299491
I think the only one delusional is you. There is no way they are going to port their full games to smartphones when they are so protective of the quality of stuff that comes out.
>>287307307
So, that's what Nintendo shareholders are thinking right now:
>Nintendo was making consoles, and its been nothing but losses recently
>Now they go mobile, and shares raised 27% already
>JETTISON THE CONSOLE DEPARTMENT, WE'RE FOCUSING ON MOBILES NOW
>>287304529
>They said "new dedicated video game platform". They said nothing indicating whether it was a console or handheld.
What if it's both and the WiiU was just a prototype of the next console?
>>287307553
It's okay, Nintendo is gonna use microtransactions to earn every cent from their new mobile customers. They'll still live on.
>>287308064
>new device is too small to be a console
>too big to be a handheld
I can totally see Nintendo doing it
>>287308064
It's gonna be both, it's the perfect time for it.
3DS is at the age where Nintendo handhelds get replaced.
Wii U is doing so badly that they should end it a year early.
The nintendo NX is a hybrid console/handheld that shares the same games allowing people to play where they want to whether as a handheld or console.
>>287296287
No.
Why?
Because either one of three things happen. We might start getting great mobile games. Nintendo might try and have it turn out shit, find out it doesn't work as planned and return to business as usual. Or Nintendo might love it, put out a Nintendo Steam Machine and just make crappy PC/iOS games from now on. The first would be good, the second no different than what we have, and the third no different except I could play my Steam games on the console.
CD-i
that is all
>>287296670
/v/ enjoys generalizations and expecting worse case scenario’s too much to care about something as meaningless as the truth anon.
By the way, amiibo are physical DLC, region lock is the spawn of satan, Nintendo makes the same games over and over again with no differences, and anyone that denies this does so because its okay when Nintendo does it and they are nintencucks.
>>287308402
>Nintendo giving rights for couple of games to settle a breach of contract
or
>Nintendo has to go for a new market due to their latest financial blunders
Yeah, totally a same thing
I pray that if the NX is a handheld that they actually build it to be held by human hands. If i try it at a friend's house and I can't play ti for more than a half hour without severe cramps, it's dropped forever, even if it has all the games ive ever wanted on it
also since i'm not uber-pessimistic like the rest of /v/, I'm not gonna give a fuck about the mobil games unless that shit invades the mainline games
>>287303068
>gardevoir is exactly the same
hah
>>287296416
I don't buy that, mostly because no other publisher could pull it out.
Not a single game on the core business has seen an increase in their sales from one year to another thanks to the implementation of a mobile app for the mobile market to catch their attention.
Not a single one.
The only model that works currently is to make a game and make money of it with in-game transactions.
>did you hear about the new mario game
>YEAH! Its one of those amazing endless runner games so fun
They will just pull a jew mobile move and copy paste existing games onto Nintendo IPs
>>287309184
That's why I said blue pill and not red pill.
lol i didn't cry.

Wow, it's fucking nothing.
>>287309447
Yeah, Nintendo's just going partly 3rd party and making mobile games despite years of saying they'll never do it.
What will Nintendo think of next?
>>287298090
>It's a secondary controller. You lose features using it. You shouldn't have to compromise on order to not have a shit controller. The good one should come standard.
I've an issue with this. First there's shitposting about "LOL I'D NEVER BE CAUGHT DEAD WITH THE FISHER PRICE TABLET" and then there's this "YEAH WELL I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE FEATURES"
>>287296762
if I learned ANYTHING on /v/ during my 10 years here is never get hopeful on vague announcements.
also
it's pretty funhy how people are actually celebrating after this announcement when nitendo is bascially saying "fuck it" for the Wii U.
>>287309373
>image is literally "but mah realism!!11!"
People that actually care about realism in a fucking Nintendo game can fuck off.
also that classic tactic of us nintendo fans hearing shitty news and saying "ITS BETTER IN THE LONG RUN BECAUSE NOW X" (now more people will know about the ips and will want to buy consoles and that money will go into making new zeldas) is delusion.
the reason why nintendo branched out into mobile with their ips is so they can find a new place of revenue instead of working on expensive 1st party games for their traditional consoles.
i'm telling you all wii sports, wii fit, wii music, wii play, wii party selling 100 million units broke nintendo. they dont want to waste 4 years working on a masterpiece only for it to sell averagely when they spent 2 weeks making wii fit and it sold outrageously. they want another blue ocean the wii has BROKE them.
thats why gameplay and content has taken a hit in their recent games. thats why the last 3 console zelda games starred toon links/cell shading. thats why mario kart 8 was bare bones and no battle mode, its why mario party 10 is literally a wii party reskin with less maps than any of the 9 other games in the series had.
iwata summed it up himself during one of his iwata asks "there was a time where we thought the longer we worked on a game the more sales it would get, ever since the wii we now know this to be false"
>>287309373
everything looks fisherprice now, damn.
I don't get why people are forcing some form of upset status over this shit. Nintendo announced sometime in 2013 or last year that they had plans to put their IPs on mobile platforms to try and lure more people to their own platforms (3DS/Wii U being the ones in mind right NOW and for the foreseeable future, even with the announcement of NX).
All Nintendo did besides out NX being in development was announce which company they are getting help from doing this shit. Literally nothing will change other than Mario and other iconic Nintendo figures will make official, licensed appearances in mobile games.
tl;dr - Stop whining over literally nothing new.
>>287310120
you clearly didn't grow up with older nintendo games.
hey enjoy every new zelda being cell shaded out of pure laziness and enjoy all future nintendo titles being fischer price non intensive low polycount babby shit
>>287310036
>nitendo is bascially saying "fuck it" for the Wii U.
This annoys me the most. Do I have anything to look forward to after 2015? Probably not much, which makes the Wii U's library quite small. I can understand wanting to put out a new system to get people to buy it but c'mon, there are people who picked up your current system for a reason.
The announcement will just help to kill off the Wii U as well, since nobody is going to grab a new one when NX is coming out in a few years. 2018/Late 2017 most likely, but if they haven't bought a Wii U yet, they'll be content to just wait.
>>287310353
>cell shaded out of pure laziness
If it's not grimy and gritty it's lazy. Realism in games ages like wine and cel shaded like milk :^)
Oh wait, none of that is true.
>>287310353
I don't think anyone actually gives a shit
>>287310485
they've said fuck it way before the wii u. they said fuck it back in 2011 and 2012 when the wii got absolutely nothing but touch generation games and the only worthwhile wii game in 2012 was translated in english because of a fan campaign.
it's over, nintendo doesn't give two shits about the core fanbase or gameplay at all anymore only the bottom line
>>287310353
>new games look like old Mario games
>old games look like Mario games with a slight bit of realism
What's the problem now?
>>287310485
If you purchased early, you knew that was a risk. If you didn't, then you knew the library was already small, and you have nobody but yourself to blame.
I don't own a WiiU, and I don't even like my 3DS or my Wii, but come on, anon. This is common sense. Take the lesson and remember it the next time the company you like shits out a new console. Perhaps you will wait a few years to see how it is doing.
>>287310659
whats the point of even buying a new nintendo system with HD graphics if the game is going to look cartoony, simplistic, and have low polycounts
>>287310120
You don't understand, you weren't there. Classic Nintendo had a haunting, realistic and horror-esque atmosphere that has yet to be matched by any other video games.
>>287310350
Iwata said they were just gonna make apps, but noone expected them to buy 10% of a company that's infamous for making microtransaction apps, then announce that they're making full featured mobile games for mobiles.
Nintendo went third party today, it's a history moment in gaming.
