Where were you when Nintendo confirmed NX launch will be long lasting and perfection?
"We believe that when launching hardware, the amount of quality software for consumers to play that is available at launch is important, and that we ought to determine our launch dates based on this," he said.
"The fact that consumers spend more money in the holiday season may be a big factor in why launching then is a good way to start. However, our hardware and software business structure does not end in that year. We want consumers to continue to play this game system for many years, so we believe that in the beginning it is most important to make sure that everything is in order at launch. In that sense, our approach is that we should wait until we can provide a fully realized experience rather than rushing to launch in the holiday season, and this approach has not changed."

>Where were you when Nintendo confirmed NX launch will be long lasting and perfection?
Nice, I bet this time they really really mean it, unlike the n64, the GC, the 3DS and the WiiU!!!
>>336240643
He's not wrong, but delaying Zelda U just so it could have a simultaneous NX port at launch was such a scummy fucking move that I probably won't be supporting Nintendo as much anymore after I buy that game.
>>336240643
Sure he will nintenkiddie
Sounds pretty solid.
But will the games be GOOD?
>>336241631
honestly it's not that different than moving TP up for the Wii launch.

I want to believe m8. I really do. But i dont have any hope left in neo-nintendo.
VERY low expectations this time might be for the better.
>>336240643
NX will fail, just buy a PS4 senpai.
Don't really see why having a strong launch line up matters. Pretty much every console ever has had a shit line up and that's very much expected.
People will jump into buying new hardware if they feel the price is right and see a future in that console. Just look at the PS4.
They just need to make sure the NX has good specs at price equal/lower than PS4 and the games and sales will come to it.
>>336242134
You're right, it's not, but it doesn't make me feel any less cheated in the end.
I'd probably feel less sour about it if they decide to give us a downloadable demo at some point this year, however unlikely that is.
>>336242610
the gamecubes launch and launch window games are still being played today.
Tatsumaki Mishima is so fierce looking.
>>336242910
He has burgers in his tie?
>>336242610
Because people buy the system to get to the games, and in the case of nintendo many people just look at the nintendo boxes to play mario.
People bought the nintendo to get to SMB.
They bought the SNES to get to SMW.
They bought the N64 to get to SM64.
They bought the wii o get to NSMB and the DS for NSMB DS.
The cube had no launch mario game and the wiiu launch mario game was incredibly half assed.
These systems also both sold poorly.
The games matter.
>>336243240
It's how many Americans he's killed.
>>336243283
Having a strong launch line up is probably more destructive if anything.
People are already putting a down a lot of cash on the hardware, so then they might only buy 1 or 2 games max as that's all they can afford, then just wait for the rest to go down in price.
In terms of development, it also means all your big guns are out the door right away and customers will need to wait literally 2 years for more games then.
The optimal strategy is to have 2 great games at launch (Mario Kart would be the best choice for NX as it's their best selling IP right now), then another game in the next quarter, then one after that. A steady stream which would give a steady stream of sales, rather than one huge bulk at the start (of which production of consoles wouldnt be able to meet demand anyway, thus lose sales) and then a 2 year draught.
>>336242910
>Tatsumaki Mishima
>>336243706
That's literally what Kimishima wants to do with the NX though. Strong launch lineup, supported by more games in the following months.
He won't, because they promised this for generations, but that's the exact plan.
>>336240643
The problem with this argument is that the only people are care about Nintendo franchises are Nintendo fans, and most Nintendo fans feel downright neglected and pissed at this point because of the Zelda shenanigans.
So honestly I think they've basically fucked themselves either way. There's very little they can do to dig themselves out of this.
>>336243706
>>>336243283
>Having a strong launch line up is probably more destructive
Thats dumb. Having a stong diverse lineup wull only help bring in more folks who have different tastes in games.
Take the PS2 lineup for example.
>>336240643
>trusting anything Nintendo says
>in 2016
Seriously, are people this stupid? I'll wait and see when they reveal the NX. But I don't have high hopes for it.
Dude looks like some Yakuza boss or something like that. He probably doesn't even care about video games.
>>336240643
So the president said some shit that fans want to hear?
NINTENDO IS SAVED
>>336244139
You could probably count the good PS2 games at launch on one hand, and it had the advantage of having strong third party support. PS2's library was pretty pathetic until a year in, when everything awesome dropped.
>>336244139
Having a good line up would be a dream, but it won't happen, so my point is they should focus on getting the hardware right.
That will strengthen the life-span of the console by getting 3rd parties interested, rather than have them spunk their load at launch and then wonder why people are selling their consoles when the games run dry for long periods.
>>336240885
I think their version of a launch drought, and the consumer's version are two different things.
The consumer expects a 10 quality game line up with at least 2 or 3 must-buys like Super Mario: Completely Innovative Edition. And Zelda: You Ain't Neva Played Dis Shit Be-fo.
But their idea likely consists of 4 or 5 quality games at launch, with 1 must-buy. And then line up quality games to be released over the following year.
>>336240643
So I have until March to finish my backlog? I'll get to it, I guess.
>>336244893
>The consumer expects something that literally never happened before in the history of videogames
Ok.
>>336244268
I think he's a former bank exec.
>believing anything Nintendo says
We'll see. Recent history shows that Nintendo has a hard time supporting their hardware.
>>336246320
That's because:
1. They're basically the only ones putting software out on a regular basis.
2. They have both a console and a handheld to maintain.
If the NX finally ends up being a crossplatform capable of running all the games then they'll solve the second issue, meaning they'll be able to support it just fine.
>>336246735
They hardly maintain the handheld though, its just low tier budget titles.
>>336247210
I think with having one main focus that would eventually have to change though
/v/ ruined me, I can't anything someone says on here when they are trying to hype something up for the future.

Is it true that he forced Iwata to commit soduku?
>>336240643
Here's hoping the launch delivers
As great as it was New Super Mario Bro's U did a horrible job as a launch title

>>336250109
I imagine Nintendo will let Square Enix advertise DQ11 for NX at E3.
System will probably get 2 different launch bundles. Zelda or Mario in the west. Mario or DQ11 in Japan.

What Nintendo and Nintendo fans think is a great launch lineup probably doesn't align all that well with the greater game-buying public.

>>336240643
How can anyone be hyped about the NX after the disaster that 3DS and Wii U launch was? Wait at least a year nerds.
Sure, exactly like what happened with the Wii-U, am I right? Good thing I didn't buy any consoles from this generation. I'd usually buy them all since I actually like vidya and don't give a shit about side mentality, but the only things I picked up were the handhelds. The 3DS really needs an upgrade, not that new 3DS shit. Too bad about the Vita, I liked all 12 games played on it, there's still some backlog of it left as well.
>>336252381
What is this? What's the character's name? I need to find porn of this right now.
>>336258616
>Sure, exactly like what happened with the Wii-U, am I right?
How come no one remembers the WiiU's launch? Yes it was barren but that's because Nintendo experimented with the idea of letting third parties have a shot at success without being sunffed out by first party megaton titles. Same reason why the 3DS's 2011 was so lackluster - Nintendo offered third parties a chance to stand up and, aside from a small handful of exceptions like ZombiU or portable Super Street Fighter IV, they didn't. If anything, Nintendo should have learned a lesson from that.
>>336256029
>best Nintendo console ever all over again
Sure, it was a commercial failure, but why are you worried?
>>336260606

Relative to the Playstation, I suppose. The N64 was still quite profitable. It wasn't Nintendo's best console, though, that was the SNES.
>>336240643
You better hope so
I'm glad I avoided getting a Wii U, none of tne games interest me and the hardware is still too late

I'm not judging the consoles solely on Nintendo's first party output. As an overall console, the SNES was a better system because it actually had third party support.
If you want to make the case that Nintendo's first party stuff hit a major peak on N64, I won't dispute it.

I'm not sure where Nintendo gets the idea that this is smart.
>>336264453
Gameplay is stuff pertaining game mechanics and level design, controls are their own thing hence it having its own separate term.
>>336261825
So nobody should have an issue with this because... you were "smart" enough not to fall for the "Wii U meme"? Well congratulations, you faux prophet ass faggot, but what does that have to do with anything?
The lengths that you people go to defend this company is beyond astounding.
>>336240643
If they don't announce NX at E3, then I'm finally buying a WiiU.
>>336264813
It was basically 9 months until the Wii U got a game worth playing. They're trying to avoid doing that again
As for E3, just because Zelda will be the only playable game at E3, doesn't mean they won't unveil the NX in their E3 direct. Nintendo has been shunning E3 for years and other companies are starting to now too, not really unexpected. The Wii U wasn't available to play when they unveiled it in 2011 either, it was playable the following E3.
>>336264917
No it isn't, retard. Gameplay is specifically defined as a catch-all category that encompasses ALL aspects of a player's interaction with a game, including controls, game mechanics, level design, etc.
Graphics, music and general aesthetic appeal are the only things that are actually distinct from it.
>>336264295
honestly, no one can say anything concrete about him yet. Maybe people are being cautiously hopeful (though this should be rare on /v/). Maybe people still have a hate boner for Iwata so they take anyone else instead. Who even knows

>>336265608
What is it with this sub's obsession with Nintendo failing anyway?
>>336265372
>It was basically 9 months until the Wii U got a game worth playing.
First 10 months of a console's release cycle need to be a roller coaster. The launch titles have to be great enough to be must buys for everyone. After that, every 4 months or so you basically need to be coming out with a must buy and AT LEAST one system seller every year.
The games sell the system. No amount of marketing, or hardware gimmiks, or online boondoggles will compensate for this. You make the games, the players will come to you.
>>336266810
Literally nothing you just said applies to the PS4 and it's the generation's best seller

The PS4 is a complete mystery.
This entire gen has been utter shit. Why are the consoles selling like hot cakes?
I don't know anything about this new console, are we getting normal controllers back?
>>336271929
It's not a mystery. It did well because A: Sony went really hard on advertising. They got tons of marketing going and worked out lots of deals with third parties that let them have exclusive advertising that push PS4, even if the games themselves aren't exclusive, and B: Everyone else fucked up and made them look good by comparison. Sony's first E3 following the PS4 reveal was basically just them dancing around and saying "see, we're not Microsoft!" and people loved it.
If Microsoft had actually given a shit about consumers, or at least were smart enough to not charge an extra hundred bucks for a gimmick no one wanted, or if Nintendo hadn't been so desperate to get that Wii money that they actually made a proper console and advertised it as a console and not as a controller, then Sony might actual have had competition this gen.

At any rate, it will be nice to see Kimishima's first influential move from within Nintendo as President.

This was their line about the N64, and if you really look at that thing it was garbage, with a garbage library. This bit of news doesn't really instill much confidence

>>336276552
Ok? All I was saying was that GameCube didn't have a weak launch lineup in terms of games.
>>336264917
holy fuck you stupid retard
>>336276450
I'll give you the Dreamcast, Xbox, and GBA, but Nintendo made NES-exclusive games for eight years straight, and the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 both saw nearly a decade of support from Sony.
I can't be sure that Nintendo will cut off Wii U support when the NX releases, however that's what they did with the GameCubeq and Wii
>>336276306
It really doesn't matter how long this gen has been, what matters is how long they were working on the NX and its games. That's what would determine how rushed it is.
>>336246272
Your point? It may have never happened, but you still hear people complaining with ridiculously high standards and unrealistic expectations for games all the time, even here.

>Rushing
Normal console cycles are 5 years
A horrible console being short by half a year isn't a problem
>>336276814
It wasn't that strong, either. That's what I'm trying to get across. The Cube dropped off pretty stiffly after the initial launch surge of dedicated Nintendo fans.
>>336277341
Wasn't Nintendo pretty good for about 6 years until the Cube bombed?
>>336277697
As far as I know, every Nintendo console has been 5 years, with the exception of the NES and Wii, which were 6, likely because they were so successful that Nintendo wanted to keep them around longer. I'm honestly surprised the Wii U only got shorted half a year and not a whole year.

It has been revealed since then that the x86 chip was not for Nintendo so it must be the other one.
>>336278201
>I'm honestly surprised the Wii U only got shorted half a year and not a whole year.
Just because they haven't replaced it yet doesn't mean it isn't dead in the water. Its first and last years were full of fucking nothing. It was basically a 3 year console.
>>336280248
Oh, I know, that's just all the more reason it's surprising they're taking their time to replace it.
>>336254213
>>336273361
People have nostalgia for PS2, so why not Gamecube? You kids are what, 21 or so now? It's the year 2016, not 2006. We're at that point where most of you who were born in the mid to late 90s are now officially adults. Technically you're all still quite young, but you're all adults legally.
>>336280495
>taking their time
they were/are just busy taking every Wii U project they have and bringing it to the NX with no Wii U replacements, stop being dumb and talking like they're doing somebody a favour
>>336280779
they're doing me and everyone who skipped the Wii U a favor, oh ho ho ho ho
>>336280779
The fuck are you talking about? When did I ever imply they're doing anyone a favor? All I said I assumed Nintendo would be bringing NX out sooner, nothing more, nothing less. Quit being so hostile.
>>336240643
I just hope they make better use of their IPs this time around.
Having a Wave Race and (proper) Pilotwings game at launch among others, for example.
>>336280660
The only people with nostalgia boners for the GC are the ones that did not grow up with it. Most likely they got the console late into its life or just played through the Wii/emulators and did not get to experience the massive droughts while watching their friends play all the cool new games on their PS2s.
The GameCube only looks good n hindsight, as will the Wii U a few years from now.
>>336281407
Bless you anon, dropping bomb truths.
>>336281407
I grew up with both, and we were always playing games on my Gamecube. Sure, we all had our PS2s, but mostly to show each other games for an hour or two like Devil May Cry and Grand and Final Fnatasy. After that we just went back to playing Star Fox Assault or Melee. Clocked in God knows how many hours on Melee alone. I think I've got about 800 on Assault's multiplayer.
>Another gimmick box
>Games get pushed back
>Shiggy kills more series
>Nintendo makes excuses and shits out more Mario shovelware to try to make time
> Wii U-U too happens
>Nintendo again blames it on XYZ instead of taking responsibility for being out of touch
>another failed gen
Can't wait for how dead Treehouse is gonna be this year
>>336280091
>AMD was a) partnering with Nintendo for its new SOC
No, that hasn't been leaked
>b) creating new x86 and arm SOCs
They said they had two design ones, one x86, one ARM. They said one of they would be "beyond gaming", implying that one of the two design wins was related to gaming.
Further, AMD recently announced that it had 3 gaming design wins. We can assume one is PS4K. The two others could be a new Xbox and the Steamboy from Valve, or they could both be Nintendo, or one could be Nintendo.
We don't actually know, though, because it has NOT been leaked.
>>336282032
If you owned both it's kind of an admission that you needed another console because the GC couldn't supply you with enough games.
>>336281407
What?
94' with n64
>Melee with the neighborhood kids
>metroid Prime
>wanting to die the first time you accidentally drown a Pikmin
>Pokemon coliseum
>Custom robo
>SM sunshine
>Wario
>all those obscure JRPGS
GC was fun.
>>336282383
Again, the problem is not with the quality of the software. Everyone knows the GC had good games. The problem was how sparse they were.
You didn't actually grow up with a GC if you don't remember walking into a Blockbuster and looking at the massive PS2 wall and feeling sad because you already played everything in the small GC corner to death. It was the same uphill battle the N64 couldn't overcome.
>>336281407
>The only people with nostalgia boners for the GC are the ones that did not grow up with it.
This makes a lot of sense. I was 19 when I got the GC and I also had a high end PC and PS2, so it's easy to look back on fondly since there was no downside to owning one.
I can't even imagine kids who grew up with it as their only console though. That must have sucked
>there are kids who grew up with Wii U as their only vidya platform
>they will grow up hating the shit out of nintendo
>>336282857
>Your nostalgia is artificial unless you experienced mine
Wow, this is some next level shit.
I went to blockbuster since a little before my n64. I always went straight to the GC racks when it was out.
I'm sorry you were that kid and could only rent the same game once.
I was speed-running and doing 1% runs before I even knew what they are.
I'm genuinely sorry your childhood was this shit.
>>336283296
>reaching this hard to justify game droughts on Nintendo consoles
wew lad
>>336283576
There's no arguments ps2 had more games than GC. I never implied otherwise.
I was implying though that the anon was already a miserable /v/irgin as a kid.
Although I do wish I had played more PS2 games as a kid.
>>336240643
The longer this guy is in power, the more I realize that Iwata didn't run the company very well. It makes me feel really bad because he was such a wonderful person. If only he was able to live up to his full potential and worked as a head programmer.
>>336284327
Ruthless iron fists make good heads.
Passive programmers falling into positions do not.
>>336284169
What the fuck does this my childhood have to do with the droughts the GC experienced? It's an objective fact.
>>336282346
I got PS2 because I thought it might be cool to own one, I didn't really need it to be honest. Though I admit that the fact that I had friends might have helped the replay value. Being a friendless NEET as of now, it probably wouldn't be enough. Which is what makes online play such a Godsend.
>>336284169
Basically this. I think some people just had miserable lives back then.
>>336284327
He's mostly carrying through with Iwata's plans at this point
Give him 10 years and we can start to see some of his ideas instead of the ideas of his predecessor
>>336284327
Well so far, we have shit E3, more censorship, and less games. I don't know how Kimishima is improving things. I think when Iwata got cancer and faded into the background, shit got worse.
>>336284495
Make do with what you have?
It's not an argument of quantity, it's an argument of how much fun you had as a kid.
And people like you probably didn't have much.
he is so full of shit.
great software line up huh. guaranteed the only proper game will be zelda. a last gen wii u uprez.
rest is gonna be gimmick "launch quality" trash.
>>336284823
This is possibly the worst argument for a console having been good that I've ever read
Kids can have fun with ball in a cup, so what?
>>336240643
THANK FUCKING GOD.
Everyone is going to be sour for about a entire year, But this is a very good move they are pulling.
More software to develop and in time to improve both hardware and software.
I just hope i'm alive to see E32017, Because there is a good chance they are going to rock the house with what they're eventually going to release.
>>336284823
>>336284496
So your point is that I wouldn't mind owning a GC if I had other shit to do. Like you guys that just admitted to owning PS2s. It's cool and all but that's not how you sell a console to a kid. Specially when kids depend on their parents for game purchases and parents back then opposed buying their kids more than one console.
>>336285139
>NINTENDO HAD FUN GAMES BUT PS2 HAD MORE SO HOW CAN I ENJOY MYSELF?
And this is possibly the saddest argument I've read.
GC was great you niggers.
In fact every single console was worth having, even the dreamcast.
Can you say that in this gen? No you cannot.
>>336284649
>Well so far, we have shit E3
Any game they have to show off was greenlit by Iwata. Even if Kimishima greenlit some, there'd be nothing to show yet.
>more censorship
Not even Nintendo of Japan's fault.
>and less games
See first point.
>I don't know how Kimishima is improving things. I think when Iwata got cancer and faded into the background, shit got worse.
You can just tell by the way he speaks about things and handles business. I have faith he can bring back Gamecube days Nintendo if given enough time.
>>336285472
More games literally mean more fun in the non autistic world of people obsessed with melee 15 years later. I'm sorry that you think this is sad.
>>336285508
Gen 8 isin't over yet, you faggoo
>>336284464
>Kimishima
>ruthless iron fist
Please, just because he looks stern doesn't actually mean he's any more assertive than Iwata.
>>336286109
We'll see what e3 has in store, but i'm betting its nothing and 2017 is when next gen begins.
>NX, 4.5, 1.1
>>336285426
Well, I think you would enjoy Gamecube more if you had other people to play the games with regularly, like Melee. Like I said, I clocked in thousands of hours into that game. I clocked in almost 1,000 in Assault too.
On top of that I had Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2, Baten Kaitos, Baten Kaitos Origins, Chaos Field, Mario Kart, Time Splitters, Fire Emblem, Sunshine, F-Zero GX (another one with huge replay value), Ikaruga, Soul Calibur, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Paper Mario, Sonic Heroes, Star Fox Adventures, Bloody Roar, Bomberman Generation, Bomberman Jetters, Kirby Air Ride, Mario Power Tennis, Megaman X Collection, and Megaman X Command Mission.
Add that all up and I honestly didn't need much more. It doesn't work for everyone, but it worked for me. I don't think my teenhood was false or horrible, like some of you said.
>>336286615
He's actually really assertive. When he wants something to get done, it gets done to the letter. He was the President of Nintendo of America in the Gamecube era. It was failing worldwide, but he knows the North American market well and made it a success over here.
>>336286615
Oh I never said he was.
I don't even have an opinion of him yet.
Just making a broad statement.
>>336277526
Having Smash Bros at near launch is a godsend.
>>336285850
"passionate" is the word you are looking for, not autistic. It's ok though, that's an easy mistake to make.
Actually it's not, how did you fuck that up nigger?
>>336240643
It's been a long time since I've heard such wise words coming from the vidya world
>>336243283
No they don't
The only thing that matters is the brand
It can cure cancer by giving you a blowjob and people would still call it kiddy shit and get a playstation
>>336243283
I thought 3D World was great. Most fun I've had in a Mario game in ages.
>>336287504
He isnt talking about 3DW, he's taking about New Super Mario Bros. U. AKA, the most soulless Mario game ever made.
>>336261315
You misspelled "Square Enix", anon
>>336264295
Games are for nerds we are all armchair business man talking about stocks and sales and shit and the profit of a company is a lot more important than the games they offer
>>336287620
Oh, right.
>>336287620
It really wasn't that bad, easily the best NSMB game. Nothing you'd buy a console for but it was a solid platformer
>>336243283
Yeah, that was pretty much me. I never understood how any kid paid attention to shit like third party support, the amount of censorship there was, etc. What I wanted first and foremost was Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Wario, Yoshi, etc. Games like Street Fighter, Gradius, and Zombies Ate my Neighbors were a bonus. They were fun, but not really main reason behind why I bought these consoles.
Did anyone here really think "well if it doesn't have Seiken Densetsu 3 then I'm not buying it!"?
>>336288736
NSMBU's level design was superb, definitely the best in the series.
>>336287620
>The most soulless Mario game ever made
That title goes to NSMB2 anon.
>>336242721
But this is wrost they arn't showing anything of the NX or the NX version ogf the game at e3 and yet are banking all on zelda to sell a console noone has seen.
>>336261315
Over the years people did nothing but bitch about Nintendo reusing their IPs. It's ironic that third parties have come to this and no one is saying a thing. People wonder why Nintendo has been doing this, but the reason is quite obvious. When your company is around long enough, there will no doubt be several iterations of established IPs. This should have been obvious to most, but to this day escapes people.
We're at our 15th, 15th Final Fantasy. Our 11th Dragon Quest, our 5th Persona, a remake of the 7th Final Fantasy, Gravity Rush 2, with Gravity Daze as the first, From's next iteration of the Souls formula, the third Kingdom Heartrs, the second Ni No Kuni, the second Nier, Dissidia FINAL FANTASY World of FINAL FANTASY, and Bloodborne, one of the iterations of the Souls games.
>>336288736
I guess it was technically the best, but it had practically nothing in terms of new ideas. I don't think I ever felt quite so bored during a Mario game before.
>>336290125
It could have been a Wario and Waluigi game.
>>336291258
Well, it did have those challenges, like cashless castle crawl, or everyone's favorite
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHDlJTIYaD0
I want more of these
>>336288736
>>336289926
That's the thing, it easily could have been on the Wii as NSMB Wii2 just like Mario Galaxy 2 was, but for a console launch title you expect a bit more.
Even something like online co-op (which I don't think Nintendo's ever done with a platformer yet) would have been cool
>>336240643
Look at his face, the guy is so disgusted with his job. All he's thinking is "Why are we doing this to the japanese youth?" I bet he's only two meetings away from commiting sudoku.

>>336291508
That was years ago when he was in charge of NoA. He wasn't worrying about the Japanese kids. Fucking retard.
>>336291485
Pretty much, when people think of big time console Mario games, they think Mario 64 and Galaxy. Instead Wii U got a sequel to a Wii game that added hardly anything, and a sequel to a 3DS that, while fun, is hardly groundbreaking or impressive, and came a couple years too late.
