>Cartridge
FUCKING DROPPED
What's wrong with them?
>>342982567
Expensive as fuck
There's also no real reason to use a cart nowadays
The load time argument is null and void with current blu ray technology
>>342982752
SD cards are cheap as fuck and can hold more data tham a bluray senpai
>>342982752
>Expensive as fuck
Then why are Wii U games more expensive than 3DS games
>>342983001
No console game's going over 50gb and even if it does, there's BDXL blu rays
>>342983164
I think maybe it has a lot to do with the fact that Wii U games require more dev time and tech?
>>342982034
>WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
is that what you want over a noiseless media?
>>342983001
Also faster read speed (comparing PS4 bluray to common SD card)
>>342982752
Bluray sucks. Noisy as fuck. I threw away my PS3 because it was so noisy that playing games on it was impossible.
There is literally nothing wrong with NX using SD cards.
>>342982034
>Thinking this isn't just boilerplate legalese they cut and pasted into a filing.
>>342982752
Blu rays are slow as fuck, why do you think consoles have installed games since the PS3?
>>342983837
This. Capcom had cartridge as a format in their trademark Deep Down.
>>342982752
they are small to fit in the portable part of the piece of shit NX
>>342983416
Are they? I always wondered why we stopped using cartridges. Because SD cards are tiny and can hold a lot of data, I assumed there must be something else stopping them, like read times.
>>342983282
No they don't. The new metroid game has been in development for 3ds for over 8 years
>>342983164
PS Vita carts cost 4-6 times more than a PS4 game to print, but Vita games are $40 and PS4 games are $60.
>>342983907
DEEP DOWN NX RELEASED CONFIRMED.
>tfw you may yet blow dust from a carts pins once again in your lifetime
feels like nostalgia
>>342983001
remember the vita's memory cards? I hope nintendo doesn't get any stupid ideas.
but yeah, cartridges are fine by me. works on the 3ds, so why not here. memory is cheap
>Cartridges
FUCKING BOUGHT.
>>342983001
Not as cheap as BluRays for similar sizes.
>>342984110
That actually damages them
>>342984110
Sorry to burst your bubble Anon but if NX uses cartridges it won't be ones that require blowjobs.
>>342984068
that's sony being niggajews
>It ends up being a gold cartridge
Vita games also cost 1/20th as much as a PS4 game to develop, and they can upscale the game and slap it on PS4.
Though I see what you mean, Nintendos problem with doing this is if THEY will foot the extra cost, and not put it on third party, or consumers. If they do that, it would be nothing but many benefits for the consumer. Unlikely though, Nintendo always likes to make money on everything.
>yfw the carts are extras for 3DS that will connect with the WiiU/NX in some way
literally says discs right there too, what the fuck is the point in both?
>>342984503
aw man, now I'm hyped

Welp that tears it, selling Wii U now. Thanks vee
>>342983416
>>342983001
OP btfo.
>>342984503
I sure fucking hope so. Nintendo stopped doing the gold stuff a long time ago.
>>342984260
Price is about 2x times higher.

>people forgot that nintendo did shit like this with pokemon games when they reserved Pokemon Gray

We're talking about nintendo games here
>>342984205
>remember the vita
Nope and no one else does either.
>>342984583
The Wii U version will definitely run on disc, NX is up in the air.
>yfw it's actually getting ported to new 3ds
>>342982034
It says video game discs right after it. That whole line looks like a catch-all category for everything video games.
>uses carts
>third parties avoid it once more
>bombs
>>342984697
They did with WWHD and ALBW, but faggots here thought that was retarded unlike their foreign counterparts.
>>342984553
Knowing Nintendo and how they made bank back on selling cartridges to publishers they won't.
They'll be making money on licensing to even get your game on their system, money on buying the carts through them since only Nintendo can produce them, then money on each copy sold.
Nintendo likes everything to make a profit and not operate at a loss.
I do like the idea of carts especially if both a handheld and home console will use the same ones, but I don't feel like it'll do anything but hurt third party relations.
What if .. the cartridge is inserted into the CONTROLLER and streams the contents from the controller to the console?
>>342985341
ALBW didn't have a gold cartridge and Wind Waker HD had a multicolor disc.
>cartridge
>Nintendo brings back the sexy boxes
As someone who loves buying stuff physically, this is a huge win. I can only hope they do this.
>>342984583
I'm talking out of my ass right now but imagine

>>342985481

Mijn Neger
>>342985494
Does the PS4 need to install games just to improve load times?
Is it possible installing games is due to needing dependencies that are only accessible from the hard drive?
>>342982752
This is the most accurate statement. Sd cards are very expensive if you use one that are design to last longer than 5 years. The reason why cartridges were great during the snes is because they freed up the 65c chipset and did most the work. Anything other than snes they were useless. Also read times of cards faster then blu ray are also expensive
>>342985214
exactly. sony totally fucked up with the pricing. I'd buy more games for my dust-ridden vita if I had some proper storage. 90$ for 64gb is an insult, no wonder they never sold anything
>>342983786
The Vita was shit for a reason
>>342985654
All physical PS4 games install all data onto the harddrive and it reads it off of that. The disc hardly spins at all after it starts up and it's only really for making sure you actually have it inserted.
>>342984697
didn't skyward sword have a gold wiimote?
>>342985629
I just found that off google, but I am coincidentally Dutch.
>>342982034
NX is now day 1 buy for me.
It better let you stick the micro SD into a big fat cart you can slap into the system, and have a big thick plastic on/off switch.
Nintendium's coming' back baby, and it's bringing the comfy with it.
>>342985338
This is the real major downside to cartridges. SD cards or similar formats wouldn't be bad but not being able to just mass burn stuff in the same assembly line as every other facility can be an issue. Issue enough, at least, for the lazy ass devs to not develop for it.
>>342985924
Ayy Bruh
Feels good to find a fellow dutchie with surperior taste
they wouldn't be restricted to sd format
there is no reason not to build a custom connector
they do not need to be rewritable
comparing cartridges to sd cards is only makes sense because they're not optical media
that is about where the similarities would end though
it will not be sd, you do not have to think about sd limitations
>>342986079
>not being able to just mass burn stuff in the same assembly line as every other facility can be an issue
Nintendo doesn't have to worry about this because their games won't sell enough for it to matter.
>>342982034
>but I want loading time!
The game fits in a wiiU disk, it fits a fast flash memory easily. the whole "muh cost" is bogus, they already make 80% margin the extra 3$ will not triple the game price like retards literally actually believe.
>>342986079
Devs do not publish games physically. That's handled by publishers. If a publisher doesn't have contacts he may as well screw himself.
>>342984583
WiiU version, retard.
>>342984593
>let me get hyped about a random hypothetical that a random person just came up with
Honestly kill yourself.
>>342983001
you can't do much cheaper than a blueray
sd card are still too expensive
>>342985893
Yes.
>>342986079
But you make no sense. third parties don't print their games to begin with they don't care about anything but the actual available space, and in 2017 flash cards are bigger than blue rays, and faster, and dirt cheap because only a shit eating retard actually believe that flash memories tech is anywhere close to 1990 game cards tech.
>>342986364
>you can't do cheaper than a dvd
>blu rays are still too expensive
>>342986079
publishers outsource that crap to someone that is printing discs every day, for all kinds of different media,
there is no reason to own and maintain a facility for releasing 10 games or less a year
>>342986350
I know man, it still would be a nice touch though
>>342982752
>The load time argument is null and void with current blu ray technology
That doesnt change the fact that you still need to install games sempai
You retards know they just add "cartridges" to that to cover all bases, right?
Capcom's done the same thing with RE7.
>>342982034
>all those fags saying NX is a handheld were right
Apologize.

what a retarded post
>>342986705
I dunno man, the macronix order for 2017 had me hopeful back then and then this popped up. I guess I'm just getting excited when I see what I want to see.
Nintendo would totally be the most likely to go back to carts out of the big three the though
>>342986834
I don't want Silent Hill 7 on my system, thanks.
>>342986705
WiiU games and Nintendo published WiiU games in particular never mentioned cartridges. This is the first game confirmed for NX and all of a sudden this is popping up?
Not a coincidence
GAMES WILL RELEASE WITH BOTH A CD AND A CART
THE CD GOES INTO YOUR CONSOLE TO PLAY AT HOME
THE CART GOES INTO THE HANDHELD CONTROLLER TO PLAY ON THE GO
>>342987098
I'm screencapping this
>>342987098
Sounds expensive
>>342983970
at the time it changed, cart were not as good
>>342986323
>they already make 80% margin the extra 3$ will not triple the game price like retards literally actually believe.
This
People suddenly think there's a massive upgrade in prices
>>342987207
>>342983970
At the time carts werent able to keep up with disks and blue ray
But that has changed now, Carts are capable of usage in today's standards
>>342982034
Why? Cartridge is objectively superior in almost every single way. Price doesnt matter as the games released will be the same price as the competitors.
>>342987235
while it's true, the bean counters that tried to cut out more plastic from the boxes and remove manuals altogether are going to be pissed about this
>>342987098
Nope. It's just carts and they go on the controller. You can detatch the controller and play it as a handheld.
Why would you even need a disc when you already got a cart in the first place in this scenario? What's the logic behind this brain fart? So you can have the privilege of longer loading times at an additional cost?
>>342982034
>don't degrade as easily as disc media
>don't rely on a server always being available
>durable

>>342987497
Price matters for Publishers. Expect low print runs and digital only for niche games.
>>342987497
>Price doesnt matter as the games released will be the same price as the competitors.
This is exactly why it will matter.
Third parties will have to spend more for the storage, for a generally lower profit too because multiplats historically don't do that well on nintendo consoles.
What this means is yet another no third party generation which will kill the sales of the system. Yes, it doesn't matter if you play multiplats on PC anyway, this isn't the point. Casuals get only one system and they will choose the one system with the most titles.
>>342987098
Or it comes with a cart you can play either on the console or on the handheld, duh.
>>342982034
Why have you disregarded all of the other goods and services listed? It says video game discs right after.
>>342987098
who the fuck cares when we live in the digital age? All vidya can be installed and downloaded. This cart thing isn't exactly an amazing selling point. And this is coming from a guy who likes discs and boxes too
>>342982034
You're a retard that knows nothing about patenting.
this thread is full of stupid young fags who don't know N64 games costed more than $70 because of carts
>>342987605
HD textures being slapped on a disc cause the mobile mode won't use them, but I'm sure they will just be up on the eshop for download instead of printing a whole disc for them

No, casuals will buy the one with the fattest marketing anyway, and that's never ever going to be nintendo. The wii was lightning in a bottle, and it certainly wasn't bought for having games as good as the other systems.
>>342982752

You're literally forced to install retail games to the PS4 and X1 hard drives just to make them run.

>>342989346

No they aren't. The cartridges are white just like every other 3DS game.
>Wind Water Wii U has gold designs.
No it doesn't. The disc is mostly blue with other colors.
>>342982034
Who cares?
Seriously, of all the reasons to hate on a game, cartridges aren't even a reason.
The only discussion worth having is if the NX isn't compatible with discs, in which case 100% dropped.
>>342984260
But then you have to pay Sony royalties for BluRay, and they won't do that.

I like this idea
>>342990883
There's no reason for Nintendo to implement Wii U backwards compatibility with the NX.
The Wii U is a sales disaster, implementing backwards compatibility increases the cost of producing the console, and the last few years of the game industry has shown that people want remasters of the previous generation's games instead of new games or backwards compatibility.
>>342991229
interesting in what way?
>>342991613
>In terms of NX, there’s an idea that we’re working on. That’s why we can’t share anything at this point, and I don’t want to comment on the other companies. If it was just a matter of following advancements in technology, things would be coming out a lot quicker.

>>342991901
We weren't talking about systems, we were talking about games. Specifically, we were talking about Zelda NX being on a gold cartridge.
>>342982034
First of all,cartridges are more durable, faster and can hold more data.
The only argument against it is "It's expensive", but it's very possible that Nintendo are making their own cartridges through a partnership or buying an existing company, making the production cost very low. Will it be cheaper than bluray? Possibly not, but that might not be reason enough not to do it honestly, especially if it becomes a huge success.
>>342983169
GTAV would like a word with you
>>342992078
You said Nintendo doesn't do gold anymore for Zelda,which they still fucking do you idiot.
>>342991961
It's certainly still more expensive than optical discs according to the jews doing the vidya publishing. All those cents add up ya know!

You know I wouldn't mind digital downloads if Nintendo didn't insist on them being the same price, some time after launch even actually higher than retail prices. It's literally just a download, what's stopping them from making it 10-15 bucks cheaper for cutting out the retailers.
>>342995653

They aren't Jews like Sony. In fact the Vita could have had regular memory cards and an hmdi out port but they wanted you to be good goys and buy their version of memory cards and buy a vita tv if you wanted big screen games.
>>342982034
Even mobile games have had cartridges listed in those filings. It's just to cover all bases.
If they did do cartridges they'd be insane right now.

You do know that Blu-Ray takes longer to load than DVD did?
Also, I bet this Zelda will be for 3DS also, or will have a version on that and that's where cartridge is coming from
>>342999528
So they won't use standard disc formats because of royalties but all of a sudden you think they'll use common non-proprietary cart formats regardless of royalties?
>>342999668
Blu ray transfers way more data/second than dvd does.
>>342999691
BD was cause other medias were available, only real reason to choose BD was to make the console doubling as a movie player. a Nintendo said that on 2012 era everyone already had 1 device to play BD anyway.
cartridge dont fall under that concept
>>342999939
You understand that people have never used non-proprietary carts for game cartridges for security reasons too, right?
Why aren't 3DS games on SD cards, then?
>>342985827

with a kid(retard,autism) friendly design and add a hdd and or a disc drive for poorfags. I dont think I will happen since mass manufacturing a console probably involve some GM tier cost saving mesures.

>cartridges are coming back
I don't care if they are flash memory, it will just be magical putting them in again.Hold me /v/
I don't know why the cartridge thing is such a big dealt people
>B-BUT EXPENSIVE
So what? Obviously they found a way to make it feasible. It also isn't 1995 anymore.
Loads faster, less easily damaged, cooler looking.
>optical media
>2016
Fuck sake, get on with the times.
Why do people think cartridges are shit like N64 stuff? It's not the 90s anymore.

how the fuck can they store 2 terabytes on data on a fucking plastic tablet not even bigger than my index fingerprint?

depending on acceptance, I do see S and M going cartridge too

shit's getting smaller.
>>343003121
Scientists didn't want to make people breathe in outer space or underwater, nor did they want to make jet packs.
So instead they made the world's smallest 2TB storage. Much more useful desu.
>>342985214
Speak for yourself, Nintendo fuckboi.
Why do people lay claims to Nintendo never jewing when they do it 2-fold when it comes to hardware? They will 100% overprice the NX and various features of it, just like they do with almost every console they ever released.
>>343003760
>just like they do with almost every console they ever released.
>WiiU and 3DS were selling at lose on release
>ITSA BAD ONLY WHEN NINTENDO DOES IT!
>>342982034
Wouldn't a modern flash cartridge be better than any disc, though? I'm no computer science student, but I know that doing shit on my PC is much faster through flash storage than a disc drive. Seems like it would help out load times quite a bit.
And maybe we could have our saves on the cartridge again. I'd like that.
>>342983601
How fucking loud was your PS3? In my experience, they only got that loud when something was getting ready to go horribly wrong with your system. Should have at least gotten some trade credit for it at Jewstop.
>>343004062
>3ds selling at a loss
>ever
Nice revisionist history there faggot. It cost Nintendo barely a fuckin cnote to produce a 3ds around launch, and probably a lot cheaper now. It retailed at like $250.00 usd and they were caught for their greed. This is why we have the ambassador system for early adopters, and why it sold like shit at launch.
Try another damage control now, because that one was too easy.
>>343004341
Yes but flash memory is still more expensive than discs, not as much as it used to be though.
>>342982752
Even if all of that were true, why would it be a game breaker? The expenses of cart production are not pushed onto the consumer with higher game prices, so it doesn't affect you.
>>342982752
>The load time argument is null and void with current blu ray technology
At least we know what kinda a retard we're dealing with.
>>342985350
Shit would be dead on arrival due to input lag.
>>343004527
If the games were to stay at $60, I'd be fine with it. I get that each Blu-ray probably only costs a few cents to make rather than larger amount of cents it takes to produce a small flash storage card, but how much could they really be losing out on per $60 sale if each card took, say, 30 cents to make?
>>343004505
>what was 80$ price cut 6 months after release
its not revision, is you being stupid
>>343004527
In terms of space, is it still so expensive?
I mean, at least where I live I could buy three flash memories for the price of one blu-ray and they would have the same if not more space inside.
>>342990882
All European Zeldas are gold aside from the portable titles.
>>343004808
If it's a handheld/home console that uses both then I hope they split the difference and make games $50.
>>342988905
>microSD
>2 TB
For what purpose? And microSD in general is a pretty uncomfortable format. They feel like they can break just from touching them.
I mean. Why were microSDs even made? Just make devices with ports big enough to take actual SDs. They're plenty small enough as they are already.
Sometimes I just hate /v/...
>>343006137
>Just make devices with ports big enough to take actual SDs.
But then we will be limiting how small we can go. MicroSDs are the future and hopefully will be the only sold SD card in a few years.
It's crazy how delusional and uninformed some of you are. As some anons already said, they are just covering their legal bases. Let's say breath of the wild was on 3ds, then they need to have video game cartridges covered in the paperwork. That's all this is.
>>343006409
Nintendo has always used cartridges for their portable consoles and I can see them keeping that trend if the NX is both a home console and a portable console, imagine how awkward it would be having to carry around discs if you wanted to change the game you were playing on the go?
>>342992237
I was talking about cartridges and discs, you thundering superfaggot.
>>343006773
something like the UMD my brother, PSP used them 11 years ago
>>343007046
While that's a valid point, the UMD couldn't hold more than 2gb, they were limited because the disk size was so small and I can't quite imagine Nintendo trying to fit BotW onto such a small disk.
>>343007046
UMDs were fucking awful though. They sounded like ass too.
They were slow, loud, and still couldn't store much.
Like I've said before in past threads, Imagine the NX as a ps4 with a vita for a controller
>>343009797
I see it more as being the Vita with a PS4 dock, playing the same software. It feels crazy that nobody's tried to do it yet, and I can't believe Google hasn't already made a push to do it with a tablet line.
>>342982034
>>342982752
Oh look, people who have no idea what the fuck they're talking about.
Is the whole handheld / hybrid thing based on anything more than Nintendo consoles doing poorly and Nintendo handhelds doing great?
Has there ever been any actual ground for these rumors?
>>343010096
it will require some crazy connectivity so they can can just connect and disconnect easily without damaging the parts. and the data transfer being extremely fast
>>343010256
It's reasonably common nowadays, and laptops with battery + RAM + GPU docks came out around a decade ago.
Additionally, look at the Surface Book, or any GPU dock.
Given, this is Nintendo so it'll probably be a bit of a technological botch job unless they get AMD to invest directly pretty heavily into the connectivity tech.
>>343010389
yes but those are not designed for CONSTANT plug in and plug out. imagine taking the rams out of your MB in and out at best once a day. shit is bound to fail faster unless worked on and re-designed for that.
I visualliyze NX like a Handheld being the core. that you can carry around, and the Console being extra power, that you put in the core and presto. better hardware, some form of "cloud computing" but directly
>>343010759
>yes but those are not designed for CONSTANT plug in and plug out
That's one of the core features of the Surface Book.
>>342982752
I know this is bait but
>BD
4.5-25MB/s sequential read speeds
Under 1MB/s random read speeds
>SD
22-120MB/s sequential read speeds
8-X MB/s random read speeds.
Dont have to pay sony royalities for each sale
I clearly see which one is superior, we are paying $60 for games already, i dont see why not pay $1 extra for it.
>>342982034
What's the source of this?
>>343010907
for a keyboard, not a whole extra processor and remember it most keep up the speed.
I know tech can do it, but is not something many will dare to use just cause it exists
>>343011152
The Surface Book is not just a keyboard. It's a seperate processing unit.
>>343003121
Making things smaller.
Same way how CPUs get cooler and faster.

>games are 80 dollars in canada
>NX carts are now 100 dollars including tax
>>342983164
4 gig cartridges wouldn't be nearly as pricey as 50 gig cartridges
>>343011432
Blame the priorities of your president, not Nintendo.
>Games are cheaper in Mexico than Canada.

Holy shit then, Nintendo could do it.
