I CANNOT FABRICATE THIS
>>335733253
It was supposed to be Nintendo's life support for the holiday season. Now, they don't even have that.
>>335732879
>>335733253
>NX is a "third pillar" and it's missing the holiday
Yeah, we had that clear but not until 2017 to release a console in march, that's the most stupid shit i've ever heard and the worst, I KNOW nintendo can do it again with something shitter
The only hope Nintendo has is to give a completely meta performance at E3.
>NINTENDO IS DOOOOOOOOOMED
I've been hearing this since 1996 and it's never fucking true.
>>335732879
TRANSFORMATION, anon.
My body won't be ready until next year.
Remember when Nintendo DS was a "third pillar?"
>>335735824
No, /v/ is full of kids born after 9/11.
>>335735824
The DS came out in 2004, and you're on /v/. Do you honestly expect anyone here to remember that time?
>>335736031
I do.
>>335736031
>DS came out in 2004
what the FUCK
I was in 2nd grade
I didn't think I was THAT young
>>335732879
Wow its almost like if Nintendo has been garbage for years and but it's fanbase was too stupid to figure it out by themselves
>>335736457
I was 8, I guess that's like 2nd or 3rd grade as well
Shaking my head familia
>Fire emblem getting ported to Mobile
Uh no? It's getting a mobile app, not a port, or a full game
I bet you thought hearing Nintendo Mobile news means they are shoving Mario games in it
That's not how that works and Nintendo specifically told you that
>>335736457
ach mein gott
where did the time go
>>335736704
>still believing what Nintendo says
Ok I guess
>>335736658
>>335736457
I was fucking girls in HS when the DS came out. Jesus /v/ really is filled with a bunch of young fucks. God Damn.
Has Nintendo done a single fucking thing right since the original 3DS launch?
>>335736603
Wow, it's almost like you are crying tears of impotent rage that will only increase as the NX comes closer
why buy the mariners in the first place
the nintendo president never even went to one of their games
Why is no one pointing out that PS4K/Neo is coming out in early 2017 also
Nintendo are now going to compete with a fucking PS4 refresh instead of getting a head start in Holiday 2016 with a new Zelda
Fucking idiots
>>335736457
Fuck I'm old. I hate all you whipper snappers with your newfangled computers and electrical machines.
>>335736945

>>335737150
Worked out for Dreamcast right
>>335737106
because Yamauchi wanted to buy them and because it would increase popularity in the region, because the M's were nearly relocated to Tampa Bay
>>335736457
I want children to leave
Goddamn when did /v/ become infested with so many fucking babies?
>>335737393
Games are for children. Get over it.
Can't wait for Nintendo to go software only
>>335737150
LOL
So sony decided to push their failure back so that it wouldn't compete with the ps4 and completely fragment their base
But bring it out at the same time as the NX to both compete and create a quasi new gen?
It's going to completely blow up in Sony's face.
>>335737513
Then why is there even a videogame board here? This whole website is 18+
>>335732879
Nintendo owns the mariners?
>>335735398
hold up, who is that qtpi
>>335737605
LOL
>>335736031
You have the best odds on /v/ for things like that. Perhaps 1% of /v/ was around then and remembers that time. 0% of anyone on any other gaming site remembers.
>>335737426
Since the moment it was first made.
>>335737721
Yeah, and you can order food and refreshments with a 3DS at the games.
What are the odds that nintendo have been prototyping on older AMD hardware and have only just got their hands on the polaris based kit that will power the NX?
Guess they need at least 6 months to revise their software and designs for the new hardware.
>>335737005
The only tears that are gonna come out are from laughter when I see you defend this flop ;-)
>>335732879
Zelda got delayed again? What happened to 2016?
>>335737393
Doing the math, he finished highschool in 2015. He's not a child.
>>335737795
We don't even know if it's actually on AMD hardware in the first place. We're just assuming it because they've been using AMD on their previous consoles.
>>335736908
This shit exactly. Goddamn newfags.
>>335737879
They're pulling a Twilight Princess again, which is exactly what we called last E3 when they had nothing to show and the NX first become known.
>>335737879
Delayed for dual release with NX version
>>335736908
>having sex while in highschool
>>335732879
>selling the Seattle Mariners
I must've missed this last night. Holy shit.
>>335737921
AMD have announced upcoming consoles will use their hardware, one of which is the PS4K.
So unless Sega are releasing an inyourdreamcast there are strong odds that they are working with Nintendo.
>>335736457
I was 16
>>335737794
Thats pretty cool. Well at least it was
>>335735473
The company risked bankruptcy in the Gamecube days, held afloat only by the GBA, and then saved by the DS and Wii.
Even Nintendrones can't defend this. Nintendo is fucked this year and you all know it. Even the mods know it
>>335736704
Nintendo specifically announced that a new Animal Crossing GAME and Fire Emblem GAME are coming to mobile.
>>335736908
>I was fucking girls in HS
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>335738141
They announced three upcoming console SoC design wins. One can be PS4k, one can be Valve's Steamboy, and one can be an Xbox1.5.
Yes, one or two could certainly be the NX, but we flat out do not know.
>>335738257
What is there to defend? There's not even anything to be upset by. I don't understand; this seems like normal basic news to me.
>>335737602
Same actually. When there only revenue will be coming from games, they'll actually work on making good games, instead of half-baked justifications for their hardware.
>>335735473

NEO isn't going to fragment the base though.
>Giant Bomb reports that starting October, every PlayStation 4 game will be required to ship with both a “Base Mode,” which will run on the current PlayStation 4, and a “NEO Mode,” which will be used for the new model. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the new model will be ready in October. The documents received by Giant Bomb note that developers are allowed to launch NEO-ready games before the launch of the NEO console itself.
>The website reports that the documents it received states there can be no NEO-only games, and Sony will not allow NEO users to be separated fro original PlayStation 4 players while playing online. Developers also cannot offer exclusive gameplay options or special unlockables for NEO players.

Meanwhile, you can set your clock to NINTENDOOOOOOOOMED
>>335738467
But they're wasting their E3 on ONE game.
>>335737753
isn't that the loli porn advocate?
>>335737879
Remember this game was announced and first seen in 2013
And was supposed to come out Holiday 2015
>>335738610
yup
>>335738414
Because Sega's games only got better after they went software-only, right?
The precedent it set has not been very assuring in any form whatsoever.
>>335738040
>>335738071
Fuck, all I have left this year for Wii U is Yooka Laylee and that's multiplat anyway.
>>335738560
There are more Nintendo exclusives coming to mobile than the Wii U right now.
>>335738601
They could, in theory, announce more at E3.
But who am I kidding desu
>>335738654
>>335738562
Just because people have historically been wrong saying Nintendo is doomed doesn't mean it can't happen, despite the fact the same people will keep chanting it even when it does happen.
There are also various interpretations of what doomed even means. To some, it simply means exiting the hardware business. This would imply they continue being software makers (and IP owners) and being hugely profitable still, which is a far cry from doomed to be sure. It all depends what you're talking about and how much you're willing to move the goal posts when you're finally wrong. And you will be wrong, one day. Nothing lasts forever.
>>335738320
I don't think Valve are interested in producing a "steamboy" themselves, and i don't think any OEMs are betting strongly enough on SteamOS to invest in AMD building a custom SOC for a handheld.
Lovely idea though.
>>335738750
You do realize Sega makes more games than Sonic the Hedgehog right? And that their output has increased in both quality and quantity since dropping consoles, Sonic the Hedgehog excluded.
>>335738654
>>335738797 Beat me to it. I'm used to it after waiting for P5.
>>335738785
This is Nintendo, they'll fuck it up somehow
>>335738549
Which begs the question as to why the NEO exists when it grants no benefits to its users over the base version and is unable to properly utilize its own power.
>>335732879
You're watching last-ditch desperation in action, OP.

Why even live otherwise? Autism can be overcome, anon. Unless your IQ isn't as high as you tell yourself it is...
>>335738750
Nintendo is already at such low quality equivalent to post-Dreamcast Sega games, it's not like it would change much.
>>335738601
If it was a few Wii U/3DS games the story would be "who gives a shit"
If it's Zelda then the story is "Zelda!"
But they could also announce games.
Also, E3 is becoming a waste of time for companies, especially Nintendo.
>>335738807
>entropy will set in eventually
Alright, I'll just wait trillions of years then.
>>335738750
Sega never made good games... They had Sonic and that was about it, most of their other exclusives were just 3rd party exclusive deals
Just because Sega went from bad to worse after exiting the console business doesn't mean the same would happen to Nintendo

What does an Atlus game delayed 2 years have to do with a Nintendo game delayed 4?
this is some ps3 launch era drought we are seeing here. HOLEE SHIT
>>335738549
You and I both know why the ps4.5 is coming out.
And everyone here knows that people will create games that take advantage of the increase in power on the ps4.5 that will make it run like shit on the ps4 proper.
This is a fuck up pure and simple and it will fragment the base, if people buy the new console that is. I'm pretty sure that they've already tapped all of the 'core' gamers and the industry proper has completely alienated everyone else with pr marketing and lack of games.
And the whole VR thing is going to shit the bed hardcore. We all know it. We all have seen it and we all know it's going to get even worse.
>>335738893
The same reason they've done new PS SKU's every generation. Slim PS2 and skinny PS3 saw higher sales than their standard counterparts, and telling normies it also has better graphics is just going to help.
>>335739056
Delays after delays after delays.
>>335738797
And yet the PS3 has more games coming out for it than the Wii U does
Best not to delay your only fucking game outside of Sticker Star 2 when you have nothing
>>335738769
>Nintendo is going back to the casualsphere
Abandon all hope
>>335738954
All it would take for Nintendo to stop making hardware is the NX to fail, something that is realistically possible. They simply would not recover from it. It doesn't mean they'd cease being a business, far from it, but you can't say "haha they're not doomed, they're still making games! :D" if by doomed we mean exiting the hardware business. Again, goal posts. We should really define what "doomed" means so we can see who is right and who is wrong when it happens.
>>335735473
They have a lot of money but you can't deny shits looking grim with how bad the Wii U failed.
Not sure another console is the solution here especially when for all intents they're dropping the Wii U, we also don't know much about the NX beyond specs.
>>335739093
I can't wait for the NX to have a Super Virtual Boy.
>>335735473
>m-muh nest egg
Having money is great, but a business survives and functions by making money. The nest egg means they can take risks and lose a little, but repeatedly losing money is bad for business, no matter how big the nest egg is.
That's why they're selling a baseball team, to offset losses.
>>335739005
Oh they did.
See, they're own games were really experimental and cutting edge hardcore stuff.
They were all about cool and now and for the most part it worked but they had a lot of expensive clunkers, like Shenmue.
See, sega's thing was that if they saw a profitable genre they would create a sega version that fully utilized their own tech in fantastic ways. And it payed off.
There was always the sega racing game and the racing game made by everyone else.
Problem is, sega stopped doing that and lost their rudder along with their hardware.
I honestly believe that if nintendo had bought sega the gamecube would have been neck and neck with the ps2 and completely blew the xbox og out of the water.
>>335739005
I find that hard to believe.
It's more likely that their constituent franchises would end up being bought from them and almost certainly changed into an unrecognizable state. It's impossible to say if this would be good or bad, but they sure wouldn't be the games that the old fans would know and love.
Besides, it wouldn't make anyone more likely to buy them just because they were on a different console.The same people who weren't interested in them now still wouldnt be interested. Seriously, what would be the benefit for Sony if it bought (for example) Mario?
>>335739553
Old Howard already confirmed that was not the case.
>>335739558
Maybe. Too bad Sammy bought them instantly, and the conglomerate of Sega Sammy Holdings actually has more money than Nintendo right now.
>>335738816
In the original released specs for the Steamboy, they specifically list a "Steppe Eagle SoC" featuring a Jaguar CPU and a Radeon GPU. Whether anything has changed or not, I don't know, but it's supposed to be manufactured by one third party company, Smach.

>>335739876
Sorry, but a company not making money isn't good. Repeated loss also isn't good. No matter how much money you have in the bank.
>>335732879
>our competitors need to react
Yeah they will laugh at how you blow yourself up again.
>>335735473
it's funny how Nintendo is literally the devil incarnate. Not even EA or ubisoft gets such a bad reputation, all of which because the game they made was targeted to children instead of manchildren or some other dumb shit.

>Beleiving Nintendo and their third pillar shit
Zelda and NX being in March isn't a problem, it's to gurantee a good game and Launch
And again we are at the yearly point where people ask about Wii U games that we have to constantly tell you that they announce them every fucking time
Nintendo really is retarded. NX should just be a glorified console with specs surpassing the Ps4, released during the Holiday, and shipped with Zelda.
I think people really want a Nintendo comeback. The stage has been set for them to do that, and yet they miss it every time with shitty gimmicks and marketing decisions.
The whole board needs to be purged.
The best one right here.
2nd best.
>>335740009
Which is why they're going mobile and already milking it to hell and back. They'll survive, but it won't be the old Nintendo. It will however be the Nintendo that the market and the investors want, and people who buy mobile games are too dense to know the difference.
Even if they did go third party they'd likely struggle just to get Sony or Microsoft to take one of their games.

The problem isn't the lack of games. Nintendo has made many games on Wii U, more so than on Nintendo 64 anyway. The problem is the quality of the games. The Nintendo 64's big releases were game changers - Mario 64 and OoT are often on people's top 5 games list. The GameCube's big releases were very memorable - Sunshine and Wind Waker's tropical themes, Melee and Double Dash's multiplayer, Metroid turning first-person... The Wii was mostly shit but the few worthy games on it were seriously really good, particularly the two Mario Galaxy titles. But the Wii U has nothing. Its big releases were Bayonetta 2 (because others can't have it), Mario Kart and Smash (as usual, although nothing amazing in both cases either), and Splatoon (because it's new & good & memorable). And DKC: Tropicle Cheese but everyone seems to ignore its existence at the same time.
3D Mario was shit. 2D Mario was NSMB 478. No new Nintendo-made Zelda made it (not counting the upcoming one because it's also on NX). No Metroid or Kirby. Pikmin 3 and StarFox are empty of content. Paper Mario is going to be a port of the one game no one wanted. When people think of the Wii U, they don't think of game-changing things, or of having fun with friends, or of their favorite game series evolving to the next step with new controls. They think of games that feel like what they've played on Wii or 3DS already, when it's not games that are simply outright bad or emptied of content.

They have announced less and less exclusive titles for the Wii U each year. And right now we're down to fucking TWO.

She was a prostitute, she didn't do anything on camera.
This is genuinely the kind of stuff a company does as a last gasp a year or two before declaring bankruptcy and going under. They played fast and loose with all the money they got from the Wii and DS, then failed to make any returns on the Wii U. The 3DS also had a very slow start and hasn't sold as crazy as they probably expected. Now they're trying to take buckets to the sinking ship they're standing on and are pretending it'll all work out. With only about 6 more games even releasing this year and the Miitomo app failing, it's over.
>>335738863
>And that their output has increased in both quality and quantity since dropping consoles
BULLSHIT
FUCKING BULLSHIT

The thing is. Other consoles have other games.
>>335741246
No, Sega Sammy holdings makes most of it's money from pachinko machines, but Sega, the company owned by the conglomerate makes more money from it's software production than they did in hardware. The pachi slots and software is done by another arm of SSH.
>>335741327
The vibe I'm getting is maybe some of their larger investors aren't so confident in them anymore.
>>335741327
I do think they'll be fucked if E3 really is all about Zelda and the game itself tanks upon release (which it will, since it and the NX are skipping Christmas)

>>335742564
The Flashlight app has 16 million users worldwide.
It's still considered a failure because it's a free app that COSTS NOTHING and nobody buys any of the premium flashlights from it.
Which is the same thing happening with Miitomo. Everyone is downloading it for free, but not buying anything in-game, which is why they're putting a focus on DLC going forward.
>>335742564
>Oh wait, you can't, because they've all been dead for years
You mean like the Nintendo ones? :^)
I just want Nintendo back.
I have so many fond memories growing up with their games, I just want to be able to create more.
No I'm not a total drone, I PC game too, I buy other systems as I see fit, but there's no denying the special place they hold to me.
The sad thing is, I actually really was digging Nintendo's future until last E3 too, then everything just felt hopeless.
I know they're capable of creating greatness and it honestly sucks a lot that they don't anymore.

It should be obvious at this point: the NX IS the NEO.

>>335742564
>all these old IPs are dead!!
Yeah, and they have a ton of new ones. Same thing with literally every company that's not Nintendo. Nintendo repeating the same IPs every generation and not letting teams move on to make new ones isn't the norm, their the odd ones.
>>335738769
>mfw i'm actually interested if they're releasing a REAL animal crossing for phones

>>335741182
Not from their video games that's for sure
>>335743253
Please tell me about the "ton" of new IPs Sega has. They have nothing except Sonic, Miku (which they don't even own), and shit they inherited from Atlus.
I just know some of the people reading this thread are anticipating a third party Nintendo. Well before you spew your fantasies here, let me tell you: it would not be a good thing in the least bit. It would be fucking horrible.
Nintendo has been responsible for almost all major console hardware innovations since the gaming console crash. Without them, none of Sony's, Microsoft's or Sega's consoles would exist as they do today, period. The directional pad, shoulder buttons, integrated analog stick that actually fucking works, gyroscopes, touchscreen integration etc... you wouldn't have your cherished Dual Shock without Nintendo.
Imagine if instead of innovating, console manufactured just cloned the NES controller or the Atari joystick generation after generation. That's the kind of reality you're going to get if Nintendo goes out of the hardware business. You can just forget console gaming having a future outside of the same fucking recycled gameplay forever and ever, never evolving.
I don't want that, and neither should you.
>>335743253
And how many of the new IPs have they tried in the past got anything but a passing glance?
No, really. I think most of their customers simply do not want new IPs from them, just more of the old ones.
>>335742564
>more people were willing to spend $300 to buy a Wii U then download a free app
Seems like a failure to me, buddy.
>>335743413
>You can just forget console gaming having a future outside of the same fucking recycled gameplay forever and ever, never evolving.
You mean like Nintendo is doing it right now?
>>335743413
Nobody wants innovation anymore. They just want more of the same because they hate change and think everything new will end up being awful if it isn't the same formula done before a few hundred times.
It would also help if any of the recent innovations actually had a wholly beneficial effect instead of feeling increasingly tacked on for the sake of being "different".
>>335742564
Yeah, 10 million downloads of a free app, but nobody used it for more than a day or spent any money on in-app transactions. That is absolutely, unequivocally a failure. No return on their investment. No one uses or cares about it. 10 million is fewer than even the Wii U sales and billions of people around the world own smart phones. Could not have tanked harder.

Like the competition is doing any better. Tell me how any of the upcoming Uncharteds or Call of Dutys are going to somehow be *more* innovative than the next mainline 3D Mario game.
has anyone seen the stock price!?
Why would Nintendo going third party even change anything? It's not like the kind of person who has a PS4 or the XBone would suddenly be interested in the kinds of games Nintendo makes if it started releasing them for their consoles, so if anything it would just make things even worse for them.
>>335743936
What, innovation or traditional design? Because they seem to jump between wanting one or the other every few days.

if this isn't proof that nintendo is truly doomed, I don't know what it is. Which is sad, since I grew up with nintendo, and still play some of their recent games.
Oh well, lifes continues
I only want a normal Nintendo console with a normal controller again. I'm so tired of gimmicks.
I wouldn't care if NX is actually called the Ultra NES or something. I just want them to make good games again

>>335744172

I don't know, i mean not even sure you guys know, nintenfags are so indecisive that maybe Nintendo is right by fucking you so hard lately
>>335740719
They were probably older when they made those posts than most posters on /v/ nowadays.
>>335743413
Nintendo hasn't really innovated since the n64.
I mean, they've been making good games, and since modern game systems are basically more about social network bullshit than games, their fairly paltry release style has actually given them the most games, but they're pumping out samey shit for gimmick consoles.
Like, the wii was neat because of motion control, but since it was hyper-casualized and the movement controls were actually pretty shit, what you got was an underpowered system with a weird controller.
The wii u tried to cash in on the wii's goodwill, but it was just a wii with a tablet. And its neat being able to play on the little screen if some shit is happening on the real computer, but again its a shit-specced console with a gimmick controller, saved only by having some decent games (that literally never go down in price, but that's a whole other can of worms)
Nintendo could go third party today and nothing would change, since all they're good for is games and their hardware is hot garbage. They're behind the times on online, system specs, and they try to mask their bad practices with 'uniqueness', which just amounts to a wonky control interface.

>>335744929
Nintendo games hold a wide appeal, just not enough to drop a couple hundred bucks on a console with nothing else on it. The Wii sold like hot cakes because it was cheap as balls.
>>335744553
I'm sure a lot of people called the N64 controller a "wonky" interface. Hell if there was a /v/ back in the '80s we'd hear people making the same shitfits over the NES not having a joystick.
Besides Nintendo has always made modern hardware secondary. The NES used 1983 technology for a full decade, and we all know about the Super NES's resolution and CPU woes.
>>335743413
>>335744061
they fucking deserve it for mismanaging the company so badly
nintendo is on the way out if the NX isn't a runaway success and they have NOBODY to blame but themselves.

>>335740520
>A TOTAL RE_HASH
Are we just going in circles then?
>>335744929
I bet you a lot of people would buy nintendo games that wouldn't buy nintendo consoles. Since nintendo is only really good for its own games.
If 1st party nintendo games were coming out on xbox, ps4, and pc (and eventually dropping in price, rather than staying 60$ for seven years), there's no doubt that people would be purchasing them. But since you have to drop dosh for a console that plays the majority of console games, as well as for a console exclusively to play nintendo games, most people just choose the system that has their friends and their favorite games, and usually that console isn't nintendo's.
>>335744651

>want some new clothes? $5 for shirt/pants $3 for some shoes
>wait you want to change your face/hairstyle? $10 again goy
don't even care about the NX's later-than-anticipated date
it's the complete, absolute dry spell on the Wii U that's troubling
they probably won't even fire-sale the fucking thing since holiday 2016 cuts real close to march 2017 and they'd probably be concerned the NX and now-really-cheap Wii U's sales would cannibalize eachother
every project worth it's salt is being developed for/pushed to NX so those handful of decent Wii U titles that lend themselves as a platform of continuous updates won't get dick (ie, Mario Maker/MarioKart 8/etc.)
>>335745492
Being on a phone does not mean it will have microtransactions. Animal Crossing by it's very nature would benefit a shitload from running on smartphones that everyone has on them all the time already.
>>335745038
>Sega's D-Pad was entirely different to Nintendo's
That's because Nintendo had a fucking patent on the design, meaning Sega literally *couldn't* make it the exact same. And it's blatantly fucking obvious that even stepping around the patent that Sega clearly designed their controllers after Nintendo's. Had the NES not existed, Sega would have no doubt utilized the Atari joystick model instead.
>And also Nintendo basically ripped off Milton-Bradley's Cosmic Hunter Microvision which came out in 1981 a year before "Game & Watch Donkey Kong" pic related
Wow that totally looks like the Nintendo control pad! Except that it fucking doesn't and that "directional pad" looks like pressure-sensitive buttons laid out computer keypad style rather than anything resembling Gunpei Yokoi's design.
>>335745116
>>335745392
>Nintendo games hold a wide appeal
If that was true, we'd see a lot more idorts, or at least people willing to admit they were idorts. And the idea that all anti-Nintendo shitposting is just sour grapes is ridiculous in itself.
Besides, do you really think the average dudebro or normie would reconsider buying Nintendo games just because they were on their console of choice? It'll still be more or less the same shit as before, and if they didn't want it then they still won't want it at that point. The people who buy Xbox and PS4 simply don't have an interest in the game styles that Nintendo puts out, otherwise they'd have developed their own equivalents to them by now.
>>335744424
The DS was called a "Third pillar" alongside the console and the gameboy, and not a replacement for the gameboy. Obviously, that wasn't true, that was just shit to cover their asses in case the DS failed, but that's probably what the NX is going to be in regards to the WiiU
>>335745610
If you think Nintendo wouldn't turn half the game in to micro-transactions after the amiibo shit you're deluded also Dena is helping them put shit on mobile and their games are riddled full of micro-transactions
>>335732879
So what does Nintendo have for the holidays? Paper Mario? #FE?
>>335745120
True, but back then they were pushing boundaries.
The n64 was wonky, but it ultimately popularized analog stick as the default movement interface for the majority of console games. Nintendo's underpowered consoles showed that substance and dev skill were more important than flashy bullshit.
But as games have evolved, nintendo is woefully behind in graphics and online, and they're coasting on beloved IPs without pushing into new territory. I mean, Super Mario 3D World was a less engaging 3d platformer than Mario 64.
>>335740057

>>335745764
>do you really think the average dudebro or normie would reconsider buying Nintendo games just because they were on their console of choice?
Yes. Everyone likes at least one Mario game. Now they'll have access to them without having to drop $200 on new hardware.
>>335744720
Still dropped 6.75% of it's value within a day.

>Lets not advertise our console with families in square boxes
>Lets give some new guys a chance to make some games, because we're old and shit
>>335745991
The old ones? We have emulators for that, nobody's going to drop money for a Mario game if it's like the ones being made now. And honestly, what makes you think it wouldn't be?
>>335746318
No, new ones Jim. New ones. People certainly will, it's Mario for fucks sake. Even stuff like 3D Land is a solid platformer, despite not being as good as Galaxy, Sunshine or 64.
>>335746471
I thought part of the argument was that the old franchises are showing their age and that they're not innovating. Why would not having a console change that in any manner?
>>335745764
I actually do believe the average normie would buy nintendo games on their console of choice.
If you just play games because they're fun, and you're not a serious game hobbyist, you're probably only going to get one console. Which means that nintendo consoles are mostly only being bought by normies with children, and who don't really play games themselves. If you buy games for your own entertainment, there's a very high chance you're not going to buy a wii u, because it markets itself to children and doesn't have the library of multiplats that other consoles do.
It seems like other companies don't try to rip off nintendo very often because nintendo is understood to be 'the best' when it comes to zelda or mario style games, and plus the standard formula for nintendo's games is played out, so instead they're trying to take platformers and open world adventure games in new directions. But there are still games that remind me of nintendo released on non-nintendo consoles which do well.
>>335745672
>Wow that totally looks like the Nintendo control pad! Except that it fucking doesn't and that "directional pad" looks like pressure-sensitive buttons laid out computer keypad style rather than anything resembling Gunpei Yokoi's design.
No that's just damage control by you
The served the same function and Yokoi/Nintendo ripped off Milton-Bradley
Deal with it
What you're saying is just like me saying that Sony invented the analog stick because the design is different
It's disgusting that to this day Nintendo are credited for creating the D-Pad
>>335732879
Nintendo is done. They realize they can't remain competitive in the hardware market and are shifting gears.
>>335746621
I never said that. My argument was that the franchises still hold appeal, just not enough to drop $200 for a box that plays only those titles and zero multiplats.
>>335746621
Because nintendo still makes solid games, and focusing on good games on platforms with actual power, rather than bottlenecking themselves, could lead to them actually making some new and innovative shit.
>>335744936
She was a prostitute and nobody in the media would touch that shit, because about a week before the media was ablaze about Nintendo caving to misogynistic Goobers. So when it became public that she is a call girl they were all too chicken shit to eat their words.
It's known on other chans. Mods here were deleting any thread that talked about it and banning the OPs. There is only one site that reported it.
Oh and she was even cucking her husband out as a prostitute to men and women. He too quit his job at Nintendo (rather the coffee cafe in their office as he was only a barista).

People would drop money for classics in the arcade on any console, not just nintendo's. Some people would rather buy a cheap game than fuck around emulating it. Remember we're talking about normies.
And people are much more willing to buy shit for systems they already have than to buy two systems and have to split buying power between the two.
>>335745672
Also Nintendo heavily borrowed from the Vectrex Thumb Stick controller when they created the Analog Stick but sheeples like to pretend that Nintendo invented the analog stick out of thin air

>Zelda Delayed again
The best way to launch a game like that is to surprise and delight them, to give them a launch date, in an environment like this let them play it vs. what other companies do which is to announce a project that you may not see for five, six years. It’s just not the way we do things.
