how is this the future we chose? do you really think a bunch of autistic neckbeards have the power to change the stock market?
I didn't play that shit.
How do we stop the mobile cancer from killing Nintendo?
>>344328827
This. We're a minority. The only things /v/ started and actually made any sort of noticeable impact are things that spiraled out of our control.
>>344329163
Funny because Nintendo was barely involved with the game and presumably only gets around 15% of the profits it makes.
>Not buying a Wii U because you fell for "no games" meme
>Now Nintendo is going mobile due to success of Miitomo and Pokémon Go
Have fun missing out on the last good gen of Nintendo games, Anon.
>Nintendo is working on Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem games
>Nintendo is developing more mobile games than games for Wii U
it's ogre.
>>344328704
Now imagine if they actually made it a real game, with trading, battling and all that shit.
But no, they rather fail with their NX and WiiU shit.
>>344328704
Is Miitomo still popular?
>>344329461
nope
>>344329372
>Poorfag wants to play main series for free
Go emulate you retard.
>>344328704
It's funny because after about a week everyone playing pokemon go who isn't a diehard nintendo fanboy is going to realize that the game has zero substance and quit.
>>344329051
by letting it happen
Nintendo needs to retire from vidya industry
>>344329051
Did he died?
>>344328704
fine with me. Splatoon already works well on mobile
>>344329538
Mobile games aren't like that.
Especially one with as much social pull as "GUYS LOOK I CAUGHT A CHARMANDER".
Miitomo, however, that was a fucking wash.
>>344329563
>Sega retires from making consoles
>All their IPs go to shit
I'm sure the same would happen for Nintendo.
Keep in mind that none of this means PokemonGo is successful. It just means idiot shareholders are trying to get in on the chance it is.
It's only number one downloaded because it just came out. They haven't actually made any money or anything.
We'll need to wait another couple months to see if people are still playing and actively buying the microtransactions or if everyone realized it's shit and drops it.
Miitomo also shot to #1 downloaded and boosted Nintendo shares however it never even cracked top 100 grossing and was effectively a flop for Nintendo because it didn't actually make any money.
>>344329643
yes they are
in a month, only a few will be playing this garbage
>>344328704
Good, now do F-Zero
>>344329695
All their IPs gather dust because they only ever make Sonic. :(
>>344329643
The social games that have legs all have addictive gameplay elements and, surprisingly, more actual game interactivity than this.
The core part of this game is movement, and after the glitz wears off most people are going to abandon it. Largely because there's nothing to do and no real reward for doing what there is.
>>344329710
I'm not really a /biz/ guy, but how do shares work? Wouldn't Nintendo profit from this immediately, or is it something that would only benefit them if it continually is played and stuff is purchased in it?
>>344329710
>it didn't actually make any money.
Nintendo was talking about profits from Miitomo almost fucking immediately, you idiot.
It wasn't a smash hit but it was clearly good enough for Nintendo to start investing into multiple games.
>>344328704
>/v/
We didn't do shit. /v/ alone can't make Nintendo's stock soar. This is literally every normie downloading Ingress with a pokemon mod and cash shop onto their mobiles.
>>344329367
But they're not actually devoting their own teams to it, are they? They've outsourced it to other companies, so it isn't even distracting from their main projects.
That is probably a part of why Pokemon Go is so spotty. I'd figure if Nintendo made it themselves it might have been more polished, but it probably would have taken longer to come out too.
I didn't download it.
>>344329530
This.
>>344330096
And people will still say Sony is shit despite Nintendo transitioning to mobile.
Fuck this board.
>>344329334
It's not like the Wii U has anything worth buying it for. There's only a few games on it that aren't just financially safe sequels.
The game is going to shed normies who just wanted a quick nostalgia fix really fast, and then its going to shed everybody when sun and moon come out because there's nothing going on in this game.
>>344329939
A very basic description is that people give your company money to buy a small part of it. At the end of the year they get a % of the profit the company makes.
In the short term Nintendo makes money from this, but the shareholders are obviously hoping mobile games do well so they can rake in profits for themselves.
>>344328704
>Wii u plummeting
>everyone and their dog of 90s kids getting pokemon go
Guess mobile gaming is Nintendo's future.
>>344330206
Sony makes mobile games as well you tool.
>>344330132
>But they're not actually devoting their own teams to it, are they?
They have a dude at their stockholder conferences talking about Nintendo developing in-house games and potential mobile controllers, anon. Nintendo's all in-house.
Pokemon wasn't inhouse because Pokemon Company is only partially Nintendo.
>>344329367
Except their not. Why is this board filled with retards?
>>344329367
And they're most definitely are developing more games for the NX than for mobile too. The fact that they aren't developing much for the Wii U anymore means jack shit when you know they have a new console being released in less than a year.
>Nintendo learns they can put Pokemon into something that isn't just mainline games and shit puzzle games and it does well
WOW!!!
A shame they didn't realise this about 12 years ago.
Where is the 3D pokemon game? I thought Nintendo wanted to SELL their console?
Who /doesnthaveasmartphone/ here?
>>344329538
that's not how it works for mobile games.
mobile games are meant to past the time for transistions, such as walking to a place, or waiting to be served dinner, or rdiing the bus/train/carpooling.
Mobile games aren't meant to have depth, thats why they're cheap and are pumped out so damn quickly.
Yeah, and the same exact shit happened when Miitomo came out. You guys still playing Miitomo? When's the last time you guys cracked open Miitomo? When's the last time we had a thread about it?
Oh wait, it didn't have any content and was dead in a week. I give Pokemon Go about a month before it drops off the face of the Earth, just like every other flavor of the month application people put out.

Sony is shit tho.
Just because that other guy is shit doesn't suddenly mean you're not.
>>344329939
Unless Nintendo has the stuff to back their share price, it doesn't really work in their favor.
Nintendo isn't a pump and dump scam company, so share price alone doesn't matter as much to the company itself, and overvalued price is just asking for trouble once everyone realises that the company is shit.
If the price is high based on feelings alone and not actual facts, then when those feelings go away it's going to eventually go back where it belongs in the long run. And Nintendo is a "long run" type of company so that isn't good.
>>344330002

They talked exclusively about download numbers, it never made anywhere close to the actual money they wanted.

"we" didnt chose shit. in fact it was chosen for us *because we are the minority*. we are literally the only ones who stood in opposition to this development but we were outvoted.
Did anybody think it wasn't going to be a thing.
handhelds are becoming less popular.
Wii-u flopped.
mobile is ezmone and nintendo can jew out all they won't with little to no criticism.
Shiggy lost it years ago.
And they have all their other studios work on shovelware.
>>344329538
It really doesn't seem like it will matter. The amount of people actively playing might decrease, but these games operate on rabid users anyways. There will be people out there paying for all the goodies in order to get ahead, and they'll be taking gyms for years. No doubt the game will get updates because it's probably making Niantic a nice chunk of cash.
It's already apparently topping the store in earnings, so it's going to turn a profit. Nintendo will definitely put some more money and attention into the mobile market after this, though I doubt it's going to ruin them or become their focus. Nintendo is all about their brand, and they almost certainly know that the bedrock of their brand is their console business. It wouldn't make sense to just go fully mobile and casual, it would water down their brands if the only thing behind them were casual mobile games. They need game industry hype. If Splatoon had started as some shit mobile game, it would have no strong branding. But it's a hit acclaimed video game with a huge fanbase fueling it, so a casual mobile game would probably get some success.
>>344330401
I work in mobile game development. Unless there's a big content influx to this game, it's not going to keep a whole lot of people for extended periods of time. There's less to this game than in just about every mobile game that's ever gotten a stable long term following, and a big part of what you are supposed to do isn't going to help you kill time unless your location lines up with something good.
At best, it's a game that will be checked briefly before someone loads up a different game.

I bet you'll be first in line to buy your slightly upgraded PS4 Neo
I'm honestly okay with this, if it means I don't have to buy another shitty nintendo console. I have my phone with my all day anyways, so if they make something cool for it, I'll actually pay attention to it. I didn't buy a Wii U and I'm glad, there are like two games on it I'd be interested in playing, but I'd never buy the console for it, so I guess I'm coming out on top here.
>>344328704

>>344331231

>>344328704
I never Even realised how this shit will effect the gaming industry. No wonder Konami decided to go mobile only. Fuck this gay earth I want off this ride.
>>344331379
Why would they do that when they have their entire nes-GBA/possibly DS to jew out still?
>>344331379
Don't care if they do, re-read the post. I'm not buying a new console for one game, and many others feel the same. BOTW looks good, but it's not worth the price of game + console.
>>344330206

You're fucking retarded.
Not only do i own the main series on a 3ds, but you gotta realise how much potential money there is. Their stock went up 10% on a shitty, laggy game that's barely working, what if the servers would be stable with the game getting actual gameplay.
It would shit all over your shitty cartridges in money making. Mobile is the future, the WiiU was a stillbirth, the NX will be too. Nintendo is finished either way.
>>344330096
You are aware that the second Microsoft and Steam get into bed is the second Sony gets deleted, right?
>>344328704
It was going to happen eventually. It's a miracle they held out this long.
Fortunately my backlog should last me the rest of my life anyways.
>>344332291
>I own them false flag
Try harder.
I think this is a good thing.
Phones aren't going away, and a lot of Nintendo's games could easily work on these devices.
If Nintendo wants to make more hardware, make a really good, really reliable attachable phone-gamepad.
>>344330096
that actually means sony fades into irrelevancy.
>>344332365
>he unironically believes the "Microsoft is going to buy out Valve" meme
>>344332648
Yes I can't wait to lug my gamepadphone out with me everywhere. If only there were a piece of hardware that could already do that in a compact form.
>>344332931
Nah, it means they become the rightful king of videogames.
PC gaming is dead, and only casual retards care about mobile.
Mobile games are not long term success. They are quick cash that burns out quickly (No one cares about Miitomo anymore). This is exactly what shareholders want though, so we'll continue to see cheap, low quality nongames like this to pad out their actual gaming ventures.
>>344330447
Id think it'd be reversed. We remember when Nintendo was good. Mellinials were barely alive when Nintendo had a good console
>>344332937
God no. Gabe hates MS, but has publicly stated that MS is allowed to sell their games in his store.
>>344332065

HOW IS THIS BAD
>>344333057
>PC gaming is dead
It's actually the healthiest it's ever been.
>>344333013
Most people would rather use one device that can do two things over needing two devices. This is how phones killed MP3 players.
The gamepad will be a addon, like headset.
>>344332937
Microsoft does want a closed platform though where they control the profits
>>344332447
So you're acknowledging that my argument is correct? Instead of shitposting you could've just said so.
If pokemon would switch to mobile it would make so much profit it could even save nintendo.
>>344328704
I don't think this pokemon game has any longevity. As a recognized and popular IP it will have great numbers initially, but I expect it to fall off the map fairly fast.
>>344333394
Moving to underpowered, overpriced hardware tied to expensive service plans.
>>344333483
=\= MP3 players died because people figured out that it's just fucking software.
But touchscreens are awful, and no one is going to want to bring their gamepad attachment with them everywhere
>>344333483
People don't like add on hardware for phones. Barely anyone uses a headset and people don't want to lug around a controller and a phone. If you are going to bring a gamepad and a phone you may as well just bring a handheld and a phone.
>>344333424
that's just quite literally not true
you want healthy pc gaming? try the late 80's/early 90's
THAT was a healthy PC gaming environment
>>344333698
>MP3 players died because people figured out that it's just fucking software.
I doubt that. It's surprising how tech-illiterate most people are when they use a smart phone 24/7.
>>344333293
I'm guessing that even gaben has his price
in his case though, unlike notch, it might be too high for even microsoft to afford
>>344333861
What's your definition of healthy exactly?
Steam is only growing.
Gog is growing.
PC games continue getting made.
>>344333698
>just software
This has nothing to do with why people stopped using mp3 players.
People who were willing to carry 3ds' and vitas around with them are willing to carry a gamepad if it fits in your pocket.
>>344333610
So many wrong assumptions here that I'm not even sure where to begin
>>344333698
Other way. Early Cell Phones (think Motorola RAZR, etc) died when apple stuck a phone and internet browser into their iPod touch.
>>344333983
Nah, Gabe's said that he'll never SELL to MS, but hes open for MS selling their games on Steam. And that's probably all MS can ask for.
That being said MS have stupid amounts of money, and like you said, even Gabe might have his price.
>>344329051
I'M SLOWLY DRIFTING TO YOU
>>344333347
Pretty much
>>344334059
We aren't talking about /v/, we're talking about your average normies.
Nintendo can't sustain both parties by a mobile-only method. They're going to have to choose to either keep fighting themselves with both or go mobile-only and possibly home console.
On one hand, I really like Nintendo and would like to see a better flow of games from them. On the other hand, mobile is cancer and Nintendo actually releases better games when they are doing shittier than usual. Overall, I'm indifferent.
>>344333983
Gabe actually tried to team up with Microsoft initially, they said "Fuck you" and released Windows 8 with their own app store, which is when Valve went into full damage control mode and started pushing Linux gaming. Given that Steam Machines didn't take off as much as they wanted them too, I'm guessing he would be fine with a peace offering with Microsoft.

That's why it only has the original 151. They're going to inevitably put in the rest.
Also, it's a pokemon game, Pokemon games don't fall off the map

Most people carrying around handhelds when they travel out aren't jamming them in pockets, they have a bag of some sort.
This has been the case for so long where the only people jamming this stuff in pockets are people who have huge pants/cargo pants that I don't know why anybody keeps acting like handhelds are primarily pocket gadgets.
>>344328704

That's the power of brands, anon.
>>344334629
That's what will happen if Nintendo goes third party
They'll be "NINTENDONIGGERS ON SUICIDE WATCH" for like a year, then all of a sudden they'll be all over their games when they were calling them kiddie shit before

Welcome to mobile gaming
>>344328704
Good. They can't make good console games worth a fuck, and haven't been able to, for years now.
The only reason the Wii U even sold any more was because they hired back that fucking stupid cunt Sakurai so he could make Smash and plague it with DLC, while blue balling everyone for months and months until said DLC was fully complete. They squeezed out as much money as they could with Smash in the sleaziest, scummiest way possible and it worked.
The new Zelda looks like more of the fucking same, but with little new insignificant quirks here and there. They're fucking done. They have to make a full jump for mobile. They can't survive on normies buy their consoles for one game for much longer.
>>344334965
>Have to drive to a Pokemon center to heal your Pokemon
Nintendo is going to make random businesses a lot of revenue if they end up being a designated pokemon centers.
>>344335101
>The new Zelda looks like more of the fucking same
>>344335101
Amiibos. Amiibos are the scummy way they rung people out for cash.

>>344333394
>Nintendo is moving away from underpowered, overpriced proprietary hardware (consoles) to fucking nothing

It's not okay when Nintendo does it
>>344333698
What's the difference between bringing an attachment and brining a whole handle console?
I also wouldn't be supposed if Nintendo just made a case that has a slide out gamepad.
>>344329051
You can't. Mobile fever is a cancer. Over it takes hold it's all over.
>>344335413
Well, the way they usually do it is disc locked content, so...
That's okay, I stopped caring about pokemon after gen 5 and 6 sucked.
>>344335547
The Smash characters weren't disc locked though
>>344335419
Different phone models of varying ages and pricing offer wildly different experiences in terms of compatibility and performance. Unless you lowball to shit, they become unplayable for many people.
Your peripheral example, for example. How do you make sure your audience owns it? How do you make sure they have it on them whenever they might feel the urge to play? How does it connect? How nice does it play with more and less popular phone models? How well does it fit all of these models of varying sizes?
>>344334348
Or, they can just release a standalone tablet a-la the Wii U gamepad, give it an android-based proprietary OS so Pokemon Go and the rest of their mobile suite are launch titles, give it specs good enough to play Zelda BotW, and then top it off with an optional phone service to use all that infrastructure they've been building over the past year.
Having the NX be a traditional tablet that can play fucking Zelda at the $300~$500 price range would blow the current tablet market the fuck out, and would be infinitely more appealing than buying a home console.

Which Nintendo game went full mobile? Did they announce Sun and Moon for iPhones or something?
>>344335785

pls no
i guess mobile/home console is probably their future
>>344335938
The biggest hindrance is touchscreen controls. Yeah you can use a bluetooth controller but it sort of defeats the purpose of "mobile."
>>344336105
If a mobile device has specs on-par with a console and can literally play current console games, how would it be bad?
>>344335919
That's the one time where Sony fucked up. CELL was too hard to program for and Xbox 360 actually had more Jap developed games than Sony.
>>344336326

I was talking about game franchises. Like breath of fire, dungeon keeper, megaman (if that even counts) and some other random games that I can't remember.
>>344336238
>The biggest hindrance is touchscreen controls
No, the biggest hindrance is the userbase.
When you manage to get millions of downloads on a unfinished game that isn't even a game then you know that something is wrong. They don't need to make games if they go mobile, just put the pokemon title and you're all set. I mean, just look at all the fucking Frozen games in the shop with fucking millions of downloads.
>>344336445
Keep it plugged in.

Home consoles aren't portable at all, yet suddenly it's a problem?
>>344328704
Man I don't even care anymore. Pretty much every series they had that I liked is gone or getting fucked until it's gone.

As an aspiring game developer working with Unreal Engine 4 who wants to work on mobile games, this is AMAZING news. Modern iOS and Android devices are much more powerful than both the DS and Vita. Also, smartphones and tablets have a MUCH larger market base than either of those dedicated handheld platforms. 6.1 BILLION smartphone users are expected by 2020; that is a gold mine and for game developers to not want to take advantage of that is just nonsensical.

Of course /v/ wants gaming to go back to the days of being exclusive and niche because they have an irrational dislike of "normies" so much, but I believe that gaming should become as ubiquitous as movies, music and books.
>PC replaces consoles
>Mobile replaces handhelds
I'm ok with this.
Mobile is objectively better than consoles or handhelds. Mobile is a free open platform, at least on Android. Anyone can develop a game for it. Everyone owns a mobile already. No more buying shitty expensive hardware with no games like Vita. No more carrying around a bulky dork flag like the 3DS. You just get great games, often for free. No more $40-50 games.
Mobile is the cure to the handheld cancer.

Besides, even if Sony didn't make any mobile games, they are still going head first into the VR gimmick fad. They are still perpetuating cancer of some form or another.

Why do they think Mario Kart would work on a mobile?
Pokemon go is a very different style.
Pokemon Go is actually kinda fun, hope they add more to it soon.

Because people think they're going to be able to street-race each-other.
Game Freak and Niantic have to act fast now and capitalize on this immense popularity upswing that will last a few weeks at most. GO as it is right now is way too barebone to last beyond being a shortlived fad.
But I honestly don't think Niantic can do that. They obviously underestimated the sheer popularity behind Gen 1 and most likely thought that the game would have a player base not much larger than ingress. Niantic simply doesn't have the experience to reign catch in.

Pokemon Go isn't fun. My neighbor yelled at me for wandering around the yard with a camera while his teen daughter was in the pool in her bikini. When I told him I was playing Pokemon he looked even more disappointed in me than when he thought I was a pervert.

Touchscreen controls are shit. Smartphone UI in general is shit. "Normies" probably won't even be playing any of the good games that come out for them and the mobile market will continue to stagnate with popular shovelware as it has been doing for years. Enjoy your microtransactions.
>My face whenever someone says Nintendo is doomed or dying
Pokemon go shit is all over my normiebook page. Normies are hopping all over this shit, even though I couldn't give a shit about it since I don't like phone game shit.
Going to laugh as Nintendo continues to make consoles and such while you ponies cry about it.

The only way you get direct cash from owning shares is if the company pays dividends. Dividends are not derived from profits like this dumbfuck thinks. Nintendo does pay a dividend but it's disgustingly small compared to Airlines/Refineries/Banks.
The main purpose of buying public shares from an investor's standpoint is to hope to buy something that is perceived to be priced low and then sell at a time in which the price goes up from what you originally paid for and then realize a profit. People are buying Nintendo shares in the same way that people bought Tesla shares thinking that what they are doing will make the company more profitable in the FUTURE. In other words people are gambling that whatever the fuck Nintendo is doing now will eventually make them a more valuable company.

If Nintendo made a game (software) for a non nintendo platform and it "sold" like hotcakes.
Why would that encourage them to make make more hardwear?

>>344338672
Because
1. They didn't make this, it was outsourced.
2. Nintendo likes working with their own hardware
3. Nintendo likes RECEIVING royalties from other devs, and doesn't want to pay it (this is what 100% makes them stay as hardware devs rather than jump to MS and Nintendo, the small boost in sales they'd get on other platforms does not equal the amount they get from royalties / don't lose in royalties by being on their own)
4. Nintendo completely owns the dedicated handled gaming market right now

Nintendo is a business, If the system doesn't sell it's not financially feasible to continue.
regardless of a personal preference.
>3.

Again, If it doesn't sell it's not financially feasible, Whether they like that or not is really irrelevant.
>4. Nintendo completely owns the dedicated handled gaming market right now

I feel ya man. The lack of apps was my only problem back when I had a windows phone. Other than that I fucking loved it. It had the slick interface comparable to Iphones, but it had options and shit like Androids.
>>344339837
>Why would outsourcing your IP make you want to create more hardwear?
Because their devs would rather work with dedicated hardware. Their devs have a say in things too
>Nintendo is a business, If the system doesn't sell it's not financially feasible to continue. Regardless of a personal preference.
Good thing that, even with its low sales, the Wii U was profitable then! It also lets them continue milking amiibo, and immensely profitable system
>Again, If it doesn't sell it's not financially feasible, Whether they like that or not is really irrelevant.
Good thing it's still profitable
>You mean the one that crashing and becoming irelivent due to mobile games?
Yea, I mean the one that will sell 60m hardware units in its lifetime
>You know a new game just came out called Pokemon go it's blowing up among normies, can you play that on a Nintendo handheld anon?
No, but I will be able to play the game with actual depth called pokemon sun / moon. Can you play that on a phone?

Sony has reported that F/GO has been making them a shit ton of money.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/edited-transcript-6758-t-earnings-200357448.html
>The third reason has to do with the diversification. Fate/Grand Order, a smartphone game developed by Aniplex, which is a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Japan, has become a hit and this is contributing significantly to our profitability.

>>344330206
>Implying /v hasn't already gone full Neogaf and doesn't circlejerk over Sony with every chance they get
wew
>>344340678
It's also a good thing because they will keep them alive to the market so they will also release console games.
SquareEnix prints money with smartphone games but that didn't stopped them making big budget games for consoles.
>>344328704
First of all 10% is not what I'd call soar and secondly Pokémon Go isn't a Nintendo game.
>>344329051
Datesim JRPG.
>>344336973
The "normie" dislike is due to said appeals equaling to most games:
>being very easy and less-complex/challenging
>catering to every group, including loud non-players
>mobile-wise being Candy Crush/Tomb Runner-tier pay2wins
>stagnating in the same genres (ex: gritty military shooters)
>avoiding anything "troublesome" and outside plainer contexts
Otherwise, in a brighter future, I'd like to believe the same outlook you have and smartphones being utilized to run actual neat games,and bring on the attention of new developers who didn't previously care about vidya.
It's just that enough capitalistic choices done and continued today have jaded those hopes for many.
