Ironically, I don't even consider Infinity War a crossover.
Really?
Then I guess Justice League and Smash Bros aren't crossover either.
To be real, it is a crossover but just within the MCU, but yeah crossover in a more narrow definition should be two media franchise that have no connection whatsoever intertwined.
This is actually an interesting thing to discuss actually... does two or more different franchises/series that shares the same universe intertwined counts as a crossover?
Now time for some video game rant, before anyone tagging me as a Nintendo fanboy, claiming me white knighting Nintendo, I just want to say... please watch this entire video and give me your thoughts before saying that. Also, I mostly follow the facts rather than just speculations.
Second, Reviewtechusa is one of the Gaming related Youtuber that I enjoy his content, yet I do found some of his opinions I disagree with.
Third, while this is a rant I will try to make it not like an essay, but sorry if it is too long to some people.
Last but not least, any two cents on this video and especially my rant is welcome.
Now, the title of this video can be looked in two ways, one is that Nintendo is trying to be different thus they don't consider MS and Sony their competitors, other, it seems that Nintendo isn't trying to improve their hardware spec wise, which I can see why Reviewtechusa snapped when he heard this from Reggie.
So what are the points that I disagree with Reviewtechusa? Nothing really, I am just mind boggling how Reviewtechusa treats Reggie's quotes way out of context, not to mention Nintendo has never really follow Reviewtechusa's vison for years. Yet, he doesn't seems to understand that... Nintendo never officially consider MS and Sony their competitors, if they are all we get are just three powerful boxy consoles.
Before anyone shares the same opinion with him, we have to see the past Nintendo consoles, you can really say that GC and Wii U proved that a more powerful console and more western third party support doesn't work for Nintendo. GC was powerful console, yet PS2 was selling way better because it had a DVD player and new IPs from third parties like Kingdom Hearts made it sell well.
Moreover, Reviewtechusa doesn't understand that third parties don't give a damn with Wii U BECAUSE it wasn't selling well, thus no matter how hard Nintendo tries to get them back, they just won't care, and with Wii U having droughts and first party games that are just mostly meh... Wii U just failed due to many factors. As for Switch, we basically see the total opposite, it was because Switch came out with strong first and second party games month by month last year (Except November), when it comes to third party games, we only see games like Mario + Rabbid, Skyrim, and DOOM, and only M+R seems the be the only third party game to sell over a million within 2017 and again, that's with Mario on it.
Hell, even Bandai Namco tries to want Switch users to port beg DBFZ back in 2017 summer, but in late 2017 to early 2018, they admit they regret that they didn't foresee Switch's success and then we eventually have DBFZ on Switch this year fall (And the Switch version was actually developed first).
About that Switch rumor, he should know it's just a rumor, and whether it is a more powerful Switch, or just a Switch revision, I don't think it will greatly affect the third party support since Switch already has that in general, I don't think western third party studios like Ubisoft and Activision will suddenly have games on Switch either, but fingers crossed that they will.
So, to sum it up, his last conclusion how Nintendo should get those third parties to put their "AAA" game on the new Switch, I just want to say: Dream on. And I just don't think that not only just Reviewtech, but also anyone goes rampage mode when Nintendo said they don't consider MS and Sony their competitors, because just look at how Switch is being marketed... they never did....
That being said, I want some discussions here, what are your thoughts when Reggie said Nintendo doesn't consider MS and Sony competitors? Should Nintendo be more willingly when it comes to third party support? Especially western third party support?
