Jesus christ when will Nintendo understand that not having a powerful console at this point isn't niche or cute or fulfilling a higher purpose.

They ACTUALLY are holding themselves back now. The wii was the last console where this was acceptable since it was publicizing new tech, now they're just putting out garbage hardware.

Pretty much this.

I don't know who wanted a Wii U. I got one because I wanted to play nintendo titles, but overall as a whole, this console is weak and pointless as fuck. Had they actually just made a GOOD console, we wouldn't need the NX right now.

And now it's sounding like the NX is just another case of the Wii U, progressing horizontally instead of upwards. As a long time Nintendo fan I'm done being excited for Nintendo shit, they just keep disappointing me and making bad decisions over and over.

New Zelda is at least looking to be a good game. Their game quality hasn't really changed, but their way of thinking the industry works is completely retarded.

I wish they would just do both. Make a console that is power, maybe not as powerful as the competitors but at least modern, and content that is colorful and different. Zelda was such a good glimpse at what content creators are capable of when given the opportunity, why not give them a fucking platform that can go even further with? I just don't understand the mind set.

The only thing that comes to mind is that this isn't really Reggie talking, it's Nintendo. They don't want to spend the money or take the risk of making a more powerful console. He's just selling it.

Yes, VR is such a radical change in technology, strapping two screens to your head and being given - surprise, surprise - waggling controls to interact with the projected worlds with.

It's a fad, no different from the Wii and when everyone was trying to hop on the motion control bandwagon.

MS has basically killed Xbone in favor of PC and Sony has basically admitted that it's "ps4.5" is to stop gamers from jumping ship to PC.

People will shit on graphics being useless, but updating graphics every generation does add a bit of variety and uniqueness to a game. I think the WiiU did a good job of doing that, after 99% of the Wii's library looked bland and uninspiring visually.

On top of that, things like framerate, draw distance, special effects, and number of objects allowed on the screen can have an actual effect on gameplay. The difference from Xenoblade to XCX is uncanny with the updated specs.

There is no way Nintendo will ever see the wii userbase again because the wii userbase wasn't "gamers". It was families, educational facilities, hospitals, every fucking person bought a wii because it didn't sell itself as video games, it was the most casual of casual entry level "play with everyone" shit, approachable by all.

Basically, they hit gold the first time, they can't sell actual video games to that audience though. Like 50% of wiis were bought for wii fit and wii bowling. That shit won't happen again.

It means Sony is going to try to prevent more games going to the PC and it was very evident this E3 they were trying not to promote as little as possible that's possible. They didn't even have a Single indie game they were promoting like Pyre or No Man's Sky that were only getting console releases on PS4.

Which is kinda hilarious considering how much they were promoting how great they are for indies in 2013 and now it's "Fuck off, indies".

Let's say the NX was on par with the PS4 Neo and the new Xbox. Just for fun let's pretend that all three new consoles are equally good.

So NX will now also get all the multiplat games such as Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Mass Effect, Fifa etc.pp. You know, the usual.

Alright. So... what now?
The problem is that the people who buy a Nintendo console are not the people who do so to buy these kind of games. The people who want to play Call of Duty or Fifa do so on the consoles where all their friends they play with are. Why would every dudebro out there suddenly buy an NX to play CoD, GTA, Madden or whatever when all of his buddies are on Xbox or Playstation? Or even on PC?

For what purpose?

This is the problem. Nintendo CAN'T win when it comes to multiplats. EVEN IF they make their console strong enough to attract all the devs to throw their multiplat onto the NX as well, the people who buy an NX don't care about these games. Most of them have a PC + Nintendo combo anyway, they buy Nintendo platforms for Nintendo games and exclusives.

Prove me wrong, I'd like to see you all try.

He's referring to the way the WiiU is slightly above PS3 level, the NX will be slightly above PS4

Which makes sense. Presumably when the console started development in 2013 this was always the plan, they just didn't count on the ps4 lasting a measly 3 years before getting replaced

Nintendo had legendarily horrible third party policies through the SNES and NES eras which were EA-tier or worse. The popularity of the PS1 and the disk-based system were a way for them to escape that.

>nintendo has had shit hardware since the wii

Nintendo hasn't had the upper hand on hardware since the SNES.
>>
>>341616959

Because Nintendo is the Disney of video games. They have an image in their games that doesn't mesh with any of the other organizations. And because I'm pretty sure that the majority of the people who make up and own Nintendo would rather see it burn to the ground before they become the next SEGA.
>>
>“Pride turned to arrogance. Ugly arrogance. Nintendo started to develop contempt for the gaming community. They felt as if they were being betrayed by the gamers they created. The marketing teams started to look at gamer focused strategies with ire and spite.” says Mercury. “The “hardcore” Nintendo audience was equally cast aside. “Why bother? They’re going to buy anything we put out anyway.”
>>
>>341616986
Exactly. But that's the Nintendo hate by the Sonytards. The console will most likely be near 2 Tflops or even 1.5 but considering it will have 2015/16 hardware, it will still be more powerful than PS4. Not by much, but enough to prevent third parties to go the "it's underpowered shit" route again. Nintendo isn't retarded enough to put out a sub-Xbone console that's 3 years old when a new pair of consoles that's 4 times more powerful than the Xbone are just about to be released. They aren't crazy.

Wii U only got two years of game support thanks to the droughts. Not even two "good" years, just two years total. I'm fine with a short console life as long as the library justifies it. Wii U didn't accomplish that. Hell, Wii U's life didn't even really begin until Pikmin 3 came out which was 9 months after launch.

You sound like a defeated Nintendo fan.
Let me tell you what's wrong with Nintendo: yesmen and stupid optimism.

I worked as a CSR for Nintendo 2 years ago and the biggest reason I fucking left is because NONE of the bosses or heads seemed to take criticism from anyone.

You can suggest something that's infinitely more efficient and it'd get shot down. The marketing guys there that were my age were so devoid of passion from being told "that's just how it is"

They need new management on a drastic level to get any change done. Half of the decisions you see as a consumer are made by the starbuck girls in marketing then edited by guys like you and me to be relevant to video games.

Working for them was fun only in the sense that I got to play video games at work and the environment was calm. But nepotism and cliques were really rampant, along with the fact that you knew you, on a personal level, would not be allowed to make a difference in the organization because of higher ups.

NX at best will be a little over 2 TF. All it really needs to do is match the current PS4/Xbone in specs since that's where developers will be mostly developing their games on.

There is no "content" when you have a complete lack of 3rd party support through out every year. 2014 is proof that Nintendo can't put out good games, sure. 2015 and 2016 are proof that they absolutely cannot support two or even one console consistently.

It's almost like power does not matter. If you ask me, the NX could do extremely well if it can carve out a niche. Make the console a little stronger then the WiiU, but release it CHEAP at $200. Have amazing games that people want, ZeldaWinds, XenoX, Retro Metroid, Smash, Pokemon, bring out all the guns. Pay for exclusive third party games, ala Bayonetta 2. Have a massive digital library, basically if possible release everything the WiiU has, and the Wii, along with new stuff like digital Gamecube games.

Nintendo will never properly compete with the others again, mostly because third party hate them. So Nintendo should do their own thing. So Nintendo fans will still buy the hardware, but you can also get others to consider getting the NX on the side for the couple exclusives they want, if the hardware is cheap enough. I say this as an idort, I think it's the best Nintendo can do.

nintendo made more hoops for them to jump through and carts more expensive

Realistically, why should Nintendo bother?

Nintendo fans will buy their games anyway
Either
>Woah best game ever!
or
>This is pretty bad, hope the next one's better, Reggie

They don't give a fuck

>No one will develop for it because they can't make Scorpio exclusives you retard. They will be restrained by the Xbone so there's no use.

No one is allowed make PS4 Neo exclusives either. Is no one going to develop for that as well?

If it's not about the specs, why even release new consoles? Why not just use the nintendo 64 or the famicom or whatever until the end of the world? Maybe it's because the content is directly tied to the specs?
>people actually buy this shitty excuse

It could do other things that make it different, like real innovation or improvements, that actually makes it better.

n64 was stronger but due to using carts the storage space was shit and developers didn't want to work on it

What people are failing to realize is the scorpio and neo are only for 4k. As long as the nx is stronger than the ps4/one then its going to be the best because the ps4 and xbox are going to hold back the games graphics. Very few people have a 4k monitor so scorpio and neo are only good for vr and nintendo isnt in the vr race.
So literally as long as the nx is decently spec'd hardware for today, which it should since its been 3 years for tech to improve and amd is selling cards for nothing, then the nx should be the superior console on the market.

>make a console Pokemon game akin to the Gamecube ones, or even make it mainline
>you console now sells a guaranteed 10 million early on
>the great start snowballs and you keep going from there
Should I apply to Nintendo and fix this company from the ground up?

When adding Nintendo console development to your project is significantly harder than adding ps4 when you support xbone or pc (or vice versa) due to architecture differences and significant asset tier differences, you are less likely to care about that exoense.

Especially when you expect weaker sales - it is then often not just an opportunity cost, but actually unprofitable.

That is an unfortunately cyclical problem, for which Nintendo must find a clever solution.

Making their platform even more different will likely exacerbate the problem.

Thus, they will once again pursue a strategy of winning by uniqueness.

I doing think anything we have heard about the NX will accomplish that goal in today's consumer market.

I do hope I'm wrong though.
