Got confused on that part.
Not Komason, but a different Yo-Kai altogether.
What if he is tho :o
At this point, I really would much prefer they go 3rd party, as unlike Sega, they'd be leaving in a much better position, and could do much better off becoming a major publisher a la Capcom. Plus, for 5 generations in a row, Nintendo has shown they know **** all about making decent hardware (the WiiU and Switch BOTH come without an Ethernet port ffs. 2017, where online gaming is a standard for THREE generations now, and they don't include a friggin built in ethernet port ffs). I think they would ultimately do a lot better making their games for other platforms, as hell, they'd be FORCED to compete with other devs and publishers for attention and thus, we might see more mature games like Metroid, F-Zero, Eternal Darkness, etc... get some love again. I think Nintendo are great devs, and I love their games, but I really dislike the company as a whole for a variety of reasons now.
Sigh, I can't believe that I had to do this but.
Pretty sure we'll get Metroid very soon.
I feel like an idiot for not noticing, but someone on SF pointed out that there's no Gwendolyn on this list even though we've seen her in trailers. So it's possible this isn't the full list or it's inaccurate.
That's just the thing though.
Sigh, I can't believe that I had to do this but.
I'm not so sure about Nintendo about supporting minor franchises if they go 3rd party. At least not until they've established themselves safely. But I see your point.
How would their resources be more limited though?
Indeed.
Well I mean...they'd no longer have hardware sales to bolster their money. I'd imagine that'd impact them a bit, and because of that, I think they'd be less likely to invest in their less proven/more obscure franchises like F-Zero.
Advice Animals?People who use Advice Animals have no right calling Harambe an outdated meme.
Imagine an all PC future.
To be fair though, I imagine Nintendo, if they ever went third party, would be in a better situation than Sega was.
Yeah, I agree. I did 26 on my first attempt. But then again, I didn't have much trouble with 26x either.
Midgen has literally never even been tried. There's no way to even know for sure if it's market suicide or not, as of now it's just another prediction in the stew.
The Wii U was an inch away from bleeding money the entire time it existed, and would DEFINITELY bleed money if they kept it on life support for three to four more years. They don't have the money to burn doubling it's lifespan so that a few bitter people on forums don't yell at them. The Wii U didn't have anything resembling consumer faith outside of such a tiny fraction of people that it would be funny if it weren't so utterly sad. I don't blame them at all for dropping it like a hot potato instead of attempting to support dual releases for it for twice as long as it already struggled to exist for.
Actually, the battery life isn't that far off from that of the 3DS. Granted, people complained about that pretty badly, too. The gimmick is a risk they're taking , which. . .is exactly the kind of thing you said they weren't doing. If it needs to be marketed as a handheld and given multimedia function to survive, then Nintendo will likely shift marketing strategies and patch in multimedia functions.
Irrelevant, but it's sticking in my mind that the Nintendo's best selling games tend to land in a similar ballpark to those third party titles even on horribly selling systems. The 3DS moreso, but the even the Wii U still had several games that could be slipped between those numbers despite having a tiny fraction of the PS3's install base.
I wouldn't call a consolidation of all of their games onto a single system in an attempt to avoid droughts once they have their software pipeline working an utter negligence of the demands of their fanbase. It's only an utter negligence if the only demand you look at is the demand for a more powerful console. Things like being able to play mainline Pokemon on the same system as all of their other console games has always been a decent sized demand, and it seems poised to happen, just not in the same way some imagined.In fact, going into the WiiU, one of the main concerns among gamers was if Nintendo would be able to re-establish itself as a top dog of the industry again, and fix its reputation, rather than remain as the outsider that pandered to non-gamers and did its own thing. Because in many ways, the Wii was a failure within the industry and to gamers veiled as a success due to it grabbing an audience from outside gaming. However, it's very evident just how the successful the Wii really was in gaming when you look at its abysmal retention rate, and how it failed to turn that audience drew into gaming with the Wii, into gamers with the WiiU, ESPECIALLY in a growing industry.
In many ways, the Wii is DEFINITELY an outlier. 90% of the consoles sold were sold were sold to non-gamers who didn't return, and the majority of gamers simply shelved the thing and let it collect dust.
Thus, now we can look at this trend with more clarity:
This trend will persist so long as Nintendo continues to dance at the beat of their own drum.
Not at all, Nintendo has taken risks in the past, and as time went on, they've become more and more risk averse. More importanly, they are unable to learn from their mistakes, repeating them time and time again. The Switch is a 3rd attempt at grabbing that casual market that loved the Wii and DS, and an utter negligence of the demands of gamers and their fanbase, yet again.
Clearly not, or they wouldn't have even bothered correcting the mistakes from the Wii U era that they did. They're just attempting to expand their userbase beyond the same clique of unpleasable gamers again, which might not be advisable but is certainly understandable. One of the gimmicks is local multiplayer only requiring the purchase of a single system and one of several games, which regardless of whether or anyone thinks it will actually work is clearly intended to self-market the system via additional exposure. It's not what the average gamer wants because they only play online with their own clique, but for groups of people that actually have interactions in real life the system is intended to convince others of it's value via in-person interaction. And judging by how some people become sold on it trying it at events in person already, that may actually be a good idea, seeing as it clearly presents better in person than behind a screen.
Because Sega LITERALLY went backrupt. Dreamcast actually sold really well, it was just too late, they were too deep in the red, and when they dropped out and went 3rd party, they did it after selling a lot of their studios and IP.
Yeah, but it's a question of cost vs. revenue. I honestly don't have the answer to that, as I don't have access to the data of Nintendo's company costs, etc...
To be honest, if we look at the possibility of the Heroes poll also being used for Fire Emblem Warriors, there's a decent possibility that we could get Roy and Lyn(and maybe Hector) at the original release. Cause really, when one is the most popular FE female and the other 2 are the 2nd and 3rd most popular FE males out of lots of other characters and even beating out the Awakening and Fates leads, that's bound for some attention from Koei Tecmo and they do pay attention to popularity, considering Linkle was turned from a concept to an actual character for Hyrule Warriors due to fan demands.
It hasn't been tried because its absolutely foolish.
Yeah, all those people moved onto Sony and Microsoft consoles after the Gamecube. They didn't just sit around twiddling their thumbs or give up on their hobby, they moved onto consoles which offered games. Thus, logic dictates that Nintendo is in direct competition with the PS4 and Xbone for that audience. But, they're doing so by offering a less powerful, more expensive machine with no access to AAA big-hitters.
I need a source on the WiiU bleeding money, because that console was sold at a profit. And a cheaper variation was certainly an option. Tech gets cheaper as time goes on, not the other way around.
How is it irrelevant?
You're not explaining your point very clearly here. And it is indeed an utter negligence for points I've expressed in all my previous posts. I've explained how the industry works, what gamers demand, and how to get there. Switch fails at all these things, and compensates with casual appeal through gimmicks.
What mistakes from the WiiU era did they specially correct? Only one to come to mind is the region lock. Yet they're still offering an overpriced and underpowered machine with bleak 3rd party support, and tons of promises for the future. Their online platform is by far the worst out all 3 console makers, the system comes with 3 hours of battery life (which no, isn't "on par" with the 3DS 5+, which IT got a lot of **** for upon launch), they're still not offering a reasonable account system so you don't have to repurchase stuff, list goes on...
Disregarding the condescension from such remark, this goes entirely against what you previously said about "Nintendo not showing utter negligence for the demands of gamers."
No need to take such snide pot shots man, I've been fairly polite with you dude. Feel free to see things however you like, I'm merely laying out the facts.
I think an all-PC future is an inevitability.
#DiecksOutForDieckIve never quit a game before playing it.
Until just now
#freeDieck
I humbly ask that you don't make me fall out of my chair.
PCs and mobiles will dominate the future.
>Kris
This is actually incorrect, the Legends characters have been purchasable alone without the need for the 3DS game for a very long time now.
Apologies, that was a bit much. I'm a bit easy to ruffle on the topic.
Look out Dante's Inferno's Lucifer, there is a new sheriff that's going commando.Adjustable DONG size in this new Connan game is something Ive never seen in a game before haha.
It even has jingle(do u still use the word here?) physics. And some scenes he's naked completely so you can see it in all it's glory in squat positions and stuff.
wtf, it's great.
No worries man, no harm done.
*continues apologizing about the negative comments from before*
Well damn, how did he carry away a whole house???
Just as an aside...
