IT'S OVER, NINTENDOH IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT
The only problem with ditching the disk drive would be no Wii U physical backwards comparability.
>>336621892
Wouldn't this be insanely expensive with how large games are nowadays? I can't see this happening at all.
>>336621978
Expensive media is also a problem

>>336621892
How can you fuck up this badly? N64 was completely destroyed by PS1 back when disc based media was just being introduced, how thefuck are they even supposed to stay afloat 20 years later where disc based is the industry norm?
>>336622338
It is more expensive than optical still.
>>336621892
>rumor
>>336621892
I could see it. If they give the NX a good sized HD and then their cartridges are basically used to install the games onto the HD.
>>336622181
>PC constantly misses out on console games
Uh huh.
>>336622395
Until we know what the form factor of the NX is, the cost situation is for their cartridges, or what they are or are not including in the BOM, it's not possible to ascertain whether it is a fuck up or not.
>>336622587
NX is supposed to be on par with ps4/xbone
>>336622181
PC games are still DVD or just a damn Steam code in a box.
>>336621892
A silly idea but it might work.
>>336622473
It may ultimate be less expensive on Nintendo's end if they are going to have a shared library between form factors. One box, one retail shelf space, one uniform pallet size/weight for shipping, removing the optical drive and possibly HDD from the console's bill of materials.
Just like that leaked gimmick controller right?
>>336622395
Because data density was a bigger issue back then? Maybe they're looking to capitalize on higher data rates from the solid state media than worrying about a spinning disc, especially if it's a portable hybrid.
But this is /v/ of course, basic analytical skills are somewhat shunned here.
>>336621892
How is this a bad thing desu?
>>336622678
>supposed to be
You don't know that, I don't know that. Unless you want to start offering up credentials as to where you work and what you have access to, don't assume anything as to its components.
>>336622767
so much shitposting that guy caused
They will abandon physical media entirely before going back to cartridges. They're just too expensive and Nintendo is trying to cut costs everywhere they can.
>>336622395
How can you be this fucking ignorant? N64 was completely destroyed by PS1 because catridges were TINY in terms of file storage, and discs were MASSIVE. Developers wanted lots of space for video and textures and shit.
That isn't a problem with cartridges any more. They can reach large filesizes. The problem now is just that they're relatively expensive, but the performance improvement just from using them might be the boost Nintendo needs. It's more than just a basic lack of load times - using cartridges allows you to stream data off the disc very quickly, which is amazingly powerful.
>>336622058
The price of SSDs has been going down lately. If the price keeps going down it might be only a little bit more expensive to put the games on cartridges than on discs.
I don't like a lot of the decisions that Nintendo has been making lately, but if the new console uses cartridges I'm going to be one of the few people who will be happy about it. I HATE loading screens. I would be willing to pay a little more to get rid of loading screens.
>>336621892
Discs sucks ass since the last gen.
>>336622731
Right... but then users install the games to their hard drives.
Anyway pgs will rekt them in winter
>>336622949
>Cartridges aren't physical media.
Not trying to be offensive but you're being ignorant if you actually believe discs are the only way of physical media.
>cartridged based games
So how easy do I lose my saves once the battery gets jiggled off?
>>336623316
This isn't 1996 anymore they have ways of backing saves up without the cart
>>336623242
>it looks like a phone, a 3DS, and a Vita
Is this shit even real?
>>336623007
>I HATE loading screens. I would be willing to pay a little more to get rid of loading screens.
I don't think it would get rid of loading times, especially if you're still talking about game sizes on par with what the other platforms are putting out.
3DS games are sold for less than disc based games and can go up to 4GB. Those extra $20 can easily cover manufacture costs of 32GB+ carts. Most Nintendo devs actually know how to use storage space effectively too so they won't need a lot of storage, unlike bigger multiplat AAA devs that just don't bother compressing or optimizing shit.
>>336622841
Cardtridge you stupid fuck not ssd
>>336623469
yes
>>336623280
How does my post imply cartridges aren't physical media?
>>336623469
it does. it's like the xperia play
see http://pgslab.com/
>>336622998
Are you retarded and underage? The cost of cartridges is still fuckloads more than disc meaning all their production costs are increased, if they use ssd that only increases production costs even fucking higher more than it ever was
If they managed to shove more shit into the cart more than the typical BD then they would really be a game changer and more fucking third party games
>>336621892
Disks are going away regardless. People download shit now. I assume they are going to be pushing an online store, with carts available for convenience sake along with the marketing offered by being seen on the shelves at retail.
There is also the speculation that the NX is going to be portable in some way, so a disk wouldn't make sense in that scenario.
>>336621892
Thank fuck, loading times are getting retardedly long
nx confirmed handheld/console hybrid
>>336623612
It's literally the same type of memory you retard
>>336621892
i love cartridges... the only problem i see is it's another potential barrier for 3rd party support.
>>336623810
Yet the 3DS and the Vitain Japanstill print fuckloads of money despite being cart based. There are various factors that would make carts on home consoles viable and profitable again, despite discs still being cheaper to produce.
Of course if the NX flops harder than the Wii U none of this will matter and its main storage media will be the least contributing factor for its flop, aside from lack of physical media based backwards compat, which WILL impact its sales.
>>336624250
No it isn't dipshit

>They will abandon physical media entirely before going back to cartridges.
>>336624250

>>336624310

>>336621892
All Nintendo has to do is make the NX strong with good 3rd party support. That's fucking it. Don't fuck this up or I'm done
If Nintendo NX is going to be portable then it makes sense to use flash over optic.
>>336621892
Why should the consumer care about this choice?
>>336624432
Fuck off retard, portable games also sell $20 or more cheaper than on home consoles despite carts being more expensive to produce. Again, factors, kill yourself.
>>336624331
Yes it literally is, a fucking flash drive is the same shit as an ssd.
>>336622395
>Completely Destroyed
Just because it didn't win that generation doesn't mean it did badly for itself. It was a successful system in its own right. Besides, guys still bring their N64s to college with them and play with their friends on Friday nights. How many people do you still see playing PS1 games?
>>336624470
>strong with good 3rd party support
They won't have any third party support at all until they build up an install base worth releasing games. The regular consumer probably isn't willing to pay a lot of money for a Nintendo console, so there are limits as to how strong they can actually make it. They no doubt lost another slice of their core base with the turd that was the Wii U.
They have a very steep climb ahead of them.
>>336624250
Are you legitimately stupid?
>>336624576
A lot of that is tied up in the production costs of a portable game, which are lower. I don't think 3DS games come any bigger than 4GB, either. I don't know anything about the Vita.

>>336625045

>>336621892
I think its a good idea, Im all for ditching load times in games, this probably also means that the game can be used in both the portable and home console version of the NX.

Maybe you can use the cards in the controller like a handheld, in this mode the resolution and texture are a bit worse.
When connected to the console module you can access the game installed on a HD and get the full resolution.
You can have a smaller size on the cart like 8-16gb of data (Class 10 SD ou Class 1 XSD) and more data on the console like 20-40Gb.

>>336624376
Not sure what part of that isn't clear to you. Discs and cartridges are both physical media, and it's more likely that they will use neither in the case that they drop discs.
>>336621978
Well, assuming the nx won't have a tablet, it'd be impossible anyway.
>>336625045
In the first year. And then they all dropped out. Hell OG Xbox had better support than the cube.

>>336624878
Manufacture wise, If the rumors about being able to play home console games on the portable side and vice versa are true, then they might be unifying their manufacture process, which would presumably reduce costs. Especially if they just put the home version and a portable version on the same cart, and the portable version is the same exact game just with lowered graphics.
What remains to be seen and what's most likely to happen is that they'll still have console only and portable only releases. Portable only games would still be cheaper to produce and manufacture, but they'd definitely take a hit with console only games, but presumably not enough for it to matter and are banking on having almost non existent load times as a main selling point.
>Especially if they just put the home version and a portable version on the same cart, and the portable version is the same exact game just with lowered graphics.
You don't need to put two games on the card. You literally just tell the console to change the settings, like you let users do manually on a PC.

Yeah and for $250 you can spend your money on something that can actually play games like a consoles or graphics card. Sure it's not portable but you can either have a portable piece of trash that doesn't play games or a stationary machine that does.
As a handheld dude the NX has been nothing but bad news for me. Already sold all my 3ds games but smash. After Pokemon sun/moon I'm fuckin' done senpai
>>336625938
>mfw this is about what my shitty PC does
>>336624691
>>336622395
But the N64 completely won that gen, hands down. The only thing the PS1 had going for it was Chrono Cross and FF7.
N64 had the best Mario Partys, SM64, Ocarina of Time, Smash Bros, and Golden Eye 007. Not to mention the best console version of Doom. Selling more consoles =/= winning if you're not making as much money as your competitor is off of game sales. Especially nowadays, when pretty much every system sells at a loss.
>>336623934
the best option, if it could be reliable, would be a cloud-based streaming service. once technology reaches a point where data streaming can be fast and sustainable, every game company will switch to cloud gaming.
>>336621892

I agree with you on loading times. It was one of the reasons i couldn't make it through Ninja Gaiden Sigma on my PS3.
I mean, you don't have to eliminate loading times, but it would be nice if they were reduced. Some games are ridiculous. I heard that Just Cause 3 was bad with loading times as well.

>>336621978
But anon, you could just buy the NX DD! (NX Disk Drive)
Solid state storage is superior to CDs in all ways for vidya outside of amount of data contained. Its only inevitable that everything becomes digital only or cart based, most PS4/Xbone games are already loaded off the HDD with the disk only being an installer/key.
If this doesn't have major drawbacks, I'd be all for it. Cartridges are a lot sturdier than disks and not having loading times would genuinely be a 'gimmick' I'd actually pay money for.
Use both.
>>336623090
This. Discs were cool back in the ps1 era because people used CDs a lot. They had smaller cases and were easy to store.
Now people want faster media. Cartridges fulfill that role.
>>336632925
How do the ROM cartridges from Macronix compare to an HDD [5400RPM], though? Because that's where the console is getting the data from, not the disk.
>>336633750
Not him but the real reason Nintendo would want to use carts is because they wouldn't have to include a HDD in the system while having the same read speed as the ones that do.

Why is this an issue? Wii-U shouldn't be B/C with NX. NX eneds to break away from the wii generation, its cool that Wii is B/C and thats enough.
A wii-U spans 7th and 8th gen for nintendo, offers two console libraries and a butt fuck ton of VC titles.
NX needs to break away from the Wii-U entirely, and cement itself as its own thing as 9th gen.
A fresh clean start.

I think you misused "retains it's value" when you meant "drops it's price." Retains value means that you buy something and can resell it. The physical product still has value beyond the initial purchase. Which digital game sales do not. They are bound to your account and worthless beyond your enjoyment. They have no monetary value once purchased.
And yes, Nintendo never drops it's prices. I agree with you that Nintendo products should only be bought physically if you're trying to save money.

Would it? I asked earlier in the thread >>336633750 and no one had an answer.
>>336621892
This makes a shit tonne of sense, and frankly I would have expected that everyone knew this already.
People, they merged their handheld and console divisions for this fucking thing. They say it's going to be a third pillar that is neither console nor portable, yet separate from PCs and from standard mobile devices.
The only fucking logical conclusion was that it was a hybrid, and unless they embraced fucking UMDs (which let's be honest, they weren't going to), cartridges were the only way to go. And here's the thing: It's not a bad way to go at all. Solid state means that it can load a shit tonne faster, and that it'll be more easily stored, and that it'll be more impervious to damage.
This isn't going to be the same situation as the PS1 vs the N64 here. Solid state memory has come a long fucking way and can be comparable to or even better than many disc-based technologies. Shit, look at 3DS cartridges. Look at how much they can hold, and let's keep in mind for one second that they were based on similar limitations to the NDS, given the cartridge size and wanting to be backwards compatible.
If they use a new cartridge type, they can absolutely blast up the amount of information stored or received.
Behold... the NX! The Nintendo NeXt!

What? They are completely unquestionable more expensive than optical media. Also optical media isn't used anymore for buffering the data since all the data is now installed on a HDD and basically the discs are just a form of DRM. The SSD technology even for small cards of 50GB is expensive as hell for consumers and production wouldn't be too far from it. Optical media is cheap as hell and while BD production is far more expensive than DVD/CD production is still far better overall than releasing the games on SSDs.
I would say once the SSDs technology get even more cheap over the next 3-4 years that it would be a good time to think of making a comeback for cartridges on consoles.
>>336639803
>If they use a new cartridge type
The reason why the cartridge talk keeps circulating is because Nintendo has apparently placed orders with Macronix, the same company that supplies the ROM cartridges for the 3DS. It's most likely not a new cartridge type. You can see what Macronix has on offer here:

>We will finally have FF7 on a cartridge when the remake comes to NX
We've come full circle
>>336621892
Here's the thing though.
Cartridges these days are more durable, smaller, and have larger capacity than discs, the reason they became obsolete in the first place was because CDs showed up out of nowhere and had astronomically better cost/capacity ratio.
These days they cost about as much as discs to produce, safer, more reliable, with better load times and some benefits that read-only discs cannot contend with, ultimately as long as they don't make them too bulky or unsightly, it'd probably be a good move.
>>336641094

>>336641453
>have larger capacity than discs
Technically they can, but if you go the article at IGN [not the one linked in the OP in this thread] it talks about Macronix's latest ROM products on a 32nm process having a density of 32GB. Maybe they can double that up and it's not a problem, but many games are pushing 50GB now.
>>336621892
It's not like they used the space in the disk well.
At least shillers can throw >load times into their shitposts in the future.
>>336641648
>but many games are pushing 50GB now.
That's actually not true, I mean I get where you have this information from and its something I generally took for granted as well, but that's the amount of on-disc data, majority of it is actually dummy data to combat piracy, when games are stripped of dummy files, they average 18-30GB which is miniscule, in the rare cases when a game goes into 40+ GB more often than not its only due to using uncompressed audio which you only care about if you're an audiophile. so a 32GB cartrdige would be enough to hold a vast majority of games.
Here's a quick google result just as an example of what I'm talking about, since we're talking about console games I'll take console games as an example (But you can also just as easily go with steam titles if you want PC as an example)
https://www.finder.com/complete-list-playstation-4-install-sizes-460-titles
Of 460 titles on the list, only 34 titles are over 30GB, and of those 34, only 13 are over 40. and of those titles One is actually two games, One is three, One is a game + an expansion, and 3 (That I know of) use uncompressed Audio.
Game filesize has actually plateaued about ten years ago, but increases in capacity of phyisical medium lead to bloaded dummy files as a vine attempt to combat piracy (That's why generally ISO's and other pirated versions of games have significantly lower filesize than legal copies) A practice that Nintendo never really bothered with on their cartridge-based platforms because proprietary form factor.
Holy fuck.
It will be so easy to jailbreak this shit now.
Why can't they just make a normal console /v/?
Is it some kind of company law to always have some gimmick?

I just love seeing dozens of claims with sources always being someone's ass in every single thread. Fucking analysts.

MGR is probably the most successful implementation of Communism. Every version of the game is identical. No version is better than one, no version is worse than another.

8gb Micro SD cards are under $5. You're saying that Nintendo selling games on a cart will raise the price by $30 because [no reason given] and that it's the undeniable truth because no one can disprove you.
here's my reference: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1VJ2KY9463

>>336622473
Yeah, the shipping size could be fucking CRAZY for this.
Imagine being able to ship twice as many goods at a time. They probably wouldn't reduce the price below $60, but they could certainly profit more.
>>336621892
Well, at least cartridges aren't prone to scratches and don't take up data storage. Actually, I'm perfectly fine with this if I give it some thought.
>>336625938
>mirror's edge
>minimum-level graphics
>26-31 FPS
This game came out in fucking 2008.
If Nintendo shifts to cartridges, I think they should apply the 3DS/DS paradigm rather than the retro one.
Cartridges do have the hipster appeal, but also carry the ''old'' stigma, I think.
>>336625938
That's actually not bad for a handheld. It's got phone hardware. Can't run that shit on your Ouya.
>tfw we'll go back to cardboard boxes
strap in boys, because we're about to go full circle here
>>336645083
AND Nintendo gets a fucking fantastic deal on their SD cards because they buy so fucking many of them.
>>336621978
Is there any way to give digital downloads to the people that own the games?
maybe use the Wii U itself to attach the games to the ccount, though with the piracy now that idea is maybe fucked
>>336645557
That will most likely be their approach, making them into "cards" like 3DS games are made into. Still, this does provide a unique opportunity for them to sell this platform. The marketing appeal of a console having that "retro" feel, while still feeling new. They might even be able to reboot their brand.
>>336645859
You realize that Nintendo, somehow is also in constant shitposting from Greenpeace faggots for actually having durable and near unbreakable hardware because it takes to long to descompose right?
Using Cardboard boxes
>>336646039
Yeah, I really fucking hope they don't go the Jewish route like Sony did and just offer them up as downloadable titles to re-purchase.
>>336643084
>smaller much cheaper cart costs you $45
>larger much more expensive cart
>$50
hey watch the nx cart be smaller than their blu ray wii u disk HA enjoy your 4gb games nintendcucks
>>336646309
And my post got fucked last second
Though using cardboard boxes at least makes them recyclable
>>336621892
The absolute madmen
>>336646346
I'm still surprised Microsoft, out of all companies managed to give you free ONE digital copied of 360 games you own as long as they are bc supported

I wish all physical media was like that. I was surprised too when I first heard about this, especially after all the "TV TV TV! Internet connection on all the time!" shit. I guess this creates good will.

The One right now is not the One-idea that they showed when they revealed it
Arguably it's better right now than the PS4 is all aspects and even the Games with Gold thing actually gives somewhat GOOD games and not shovelware only like the PSN deals.
The one thing it can't do right is capture gameplay as good as the PS4 and in a era where everyone wants to live off youtube it works
>>336647451

Stop saying this. It's flash storage. A solid state drive USES flash storage, but it isn't flash storage.
Have you never heard of Chinese Whispers? Stop this shit, and call it what it is.
