"DS wont be a GBA successor" - Nintendo circa 2004
>>338325991
Obviously. A handheld can't succeed a console.
>>338325991
>nintendo, add unified accounts!
>dont tie games to the hardware!
>get rid of friend codes entirely!
>have it powerful enough to output actually 1080p60 with current gen graphics!
>dont make online shit!
>nah, too expensive.
>>338326237
>>get rid of friend codes entirely!
They did do that. Wii U has no Friend Codes.
As mentioned by >>338326084, When the DS was launched, it was hailed as the "third pillar" in Nintendo's business model: GameCube, Game Boy (that was named as a pillar, not Game Boy Advance, SP or Micro [which hadn't been released]) and the DS.
And then the DS was a -slow- success, so it paved the way for the Wii, rendering both the GameCube and the GB line obsolete.
>>338325991
>and the company’s aim is to remain affordable.
I don't get it
People are willing to pay any money for powerful hardware
Why do you want to make it affordable?
>>338325991
Good. The Wii U was a shitty, overpriced gimmick machine. Maybe Nintendo is finally taking a step in the right direction.Oh, who the fuck am I kidding, the NX is just going to be the Virtual Boy 2.0
>itt people circle jerk and cry over Nintendo not making a laptop box like Sony and Microsoft
Do we NEED to have this exact same thread with exact same replies every single day? Are the (you)s really worth it?
>Nintendo lying to save face
No shit OP, what they were going to say?
>lol guys NX is Wii U successor, please forget that platform and buy our new hardware pls
Are you retarded?
>lol DS won't replace GBA guys, don't worry
>>3383266393.0*
>>338326084
I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers this.
>>338326563
the wiiU pricetag is a problem to them more than its power. they admited rushing the wiiU and selling it for too much.
I expect the NX to be cheap on release, more than the WiiU.
they need to commit to one way or another. either make a powerful console to rival playstation or make a full blown cheap netflix and party game box and go all out for the casuals. don't just stand between rooms humping the doorframe like they did with wii U
At least this time around people will know that it's a new console and not have a fucking clue to what it is.
Won't help us getting gutted games, shit VC and software among other problems
Nevermind that the Wii U will stop production in 2018.
Y u lyin' Kimishima san kun sama sr?
When you guys see the NX you're going to laugh. It basically brings console power to mobile phones.
It's like the shield but for your phone.
Nintendo does mobile gaming now.
>>338325991
I feel bad for the guy. He just keeps repeating himself, and people keep calling him a liar. He is telling the truth, but they are taking it the wrong way.
By "The NX isn't the successor to the Wii U", he doesn't mean "The NX won't replace the Wii U"
He means the NX won't JUST be a successor to the Wii U. That it will aim to be a better system, not just attempt to be a improved Wii U.
>>338328274
I wouldn't be surprised by that.
>Mobile games contract announced.
>Damage controllers say how "its just a announcement, no big deal."
>Miitomo is announced
>Damage controllers say how "it barely counts as a game at all. Nintendo isn't going to make exclusive mobile games."
>Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing games announced for mobile.
>Nobody is even bothering to defend them anymore.
>>338328959
What is wrong with the games going to mobile?
Seriously I have not seen a reason against that
>people praising this ex-NoA shithead
he's no Howard Lincoln and no Minoru Arakawa
>>338326639
>implying the Wii U isn't already the Virtual Boy 2.0
>>338329421
>BUT THAT'S A THEORY
>A GAY THEORY
We all saw the same video, thanks for pointing that out.
>>338326237
>get rid of friend codes entirely!
They already did that.
>>338329290
>he will never come back and make NoA great again
>>338325991
You're late and Kimishima said it wouldn't to the Wii U AND the 3DS.
>>338328959
Also Pokemon GO which is their intended entry announcement into mobile.
The Wii U is about to get a large price cut with a promise of continued support and games, but the gimmick this generation is definitely mobile use.
The whole thing is odd but it's definitely expected of Nintendo.
>>338329261
From a business standpoint? Nothing.
It's just that all the games will be ultra casual since phone controls suck balls.
>>338329261
Have you not seen phone games man
>>338329735
The Pokemon Company mostly acts independently from Nintendo. Thats why they had Phone Apps 5 years before Nintendo even bothered with Miitomo.
>>338328959
if anything it'll barely count as a game like some Mario teaches typing shit
>>338329909
To be fair, Fire Emblem's gameplay translates to a mobile device really easily. They could easily throw that and Advance Wars exclusively to smart phones and the gameplay would be exactly the same.
>>338325991
Well yeah, actually listen to what he's saying rather than being selective and clickb8y, this isn't Kotaku.
He means it won't be a successor in gameplay/perfomance/end user experience terms, it's going to be a new line that pulls itself away from the Wii/U generation.
>>338325991
Why have new console if you cannot support the one you have?
>>338329825
>>338329893
So? The phone games are obviously spin-offs
They do not even matter
>>338326639
How was it overpriced?
>>338329893
Pretty sure an official game not in a nintendo handheld would be a big no-no
>>338325991
>the company’s aim is to remain affordable.
Reminder the Wii U still costs 300 fucking €/$
>>338330383
Anything Nintendo puts out will be considered overpriced by these duck sucking homosexuals who gargle Sony's nuts all day every day because they get a 15 FPS cimenatic experience.
>>338330696
What kind of 3rd world country do you live in? Brazil?
>>338325991
In Japan, Nintendo is marketed primarily towards children. Parents are the ones paying for these consoles, and they're not willing to pay a lot of money for what they see as something that gets in the way of studying.
>>338331010
Wii U costs 300 € in all countries in the EU.
>>338331010
Not him, but the price for something so woefully underpowered and lacking in games compared to its competition is just ridiculous. Don't forget that Nintendo intentionally gouges their games' prices too.
>>338326084
>>338326354
but that talk was after the ds came out we're less than a year away from this system and they're having this talk on a system we don't truly know anything about, this is very worrisome.
>>338325991
32X of this gen confirmed
>>338331216
>underpowered
how? Its the only console that consistently is able to output games at 1080p 60fps.
>>338329909
So that's the next step of the damage controllers, thanks.
>Well, the games will be bad so they don't count
>virtual boy 2.0
>32X
why are people insulting NX with things that are more easily associated with PS4 Neo?
Oh, I wonder who is behind these posts.

Ten seconds on google.
>>338326563
Not really anon... The other consoles sell at a loss and hope to make up the difference with game sales.
Plus, Nintendo's console would be basically the same as the Xbox and Playstation and would be competing too directly. Any Nintendo games developed by third party would be developed to be multiplat and not strictly for a Nintendo audience.
>>338330383
it cost as much a xbone which actually has more heat to that pile of shit than the wii u and it's only $50 less than a ps4 you know something the advange customer gives a single fuck out this is a $199 console at best
and even the gamecube at this point of life was $99 for something that cost more to make back then
>>338331623
>$169.95 for the console box alone on ebay
jesus that's alot for something noone really wants to pay much for to begin with
>>338331623
I was not referring to an exact measurement. I was referring to its overall price range which is still indeed above what it should be. The Wii U's primary controller was a mistake and bumps the price a brutal amount.
Doesn't help the hard drive is quite meager, but at least Nintendo's good at keeping their games somewhat light/compressed.
>>338326084
I'm not sure if I am just fucking old or don't have the memory of a goldfish because you are the only other person I have seen remember this on this fucking board.
>>338325991
They say that but they don't mean it.
>>338325991
>nintendo
>good
How long are you guys going to keep falling for this meme?
>>338331684
But the PS4 sold at a loss, I'm guessing the X1 did too. Their main console is more powerful but their controller are much cheaper.
>>338331879
True, but still. If you're not a retard and do some price digging you can get a good deal.
>>338332331
Which I did, actually. Got the Sm4sh/Splatoon bundle on a Black Friday deal. It's just that its standard pricing is something I disagree with since Nintendo makes doing everything else for it so expensive on top of that. Controllers are pricey, all first party games almost never dip in price, peripherals tend to be scarce, etc.
>>338331879
so half of what you said is still in the "overall price range"?
>>338332269
but ps4 has always been profitable and also nintendo refuses to take any loss which is why the wii u isn't as selling as well as it could as it's prices are bullshit for what it is to the average customer who could get AAA shit mechine that they actually want for as much
>>338332269
every console sells at a loss
>>338326084
Reminder that they took the GameBoy name out after Gunpoi left the company and then died
>>338325991
>developers are pushing Nintendo to add new features to the console, and Nintendo is considering these suggestions, however it would raise the production costs and the company’s aim is to remain affordable
So basically devs tell them its shit but they wont listen anyway
>>338333480
>>338333605
only ps3 ever sold at a loss throughout it's life
