I dig it. Big N should focus on their frenchises and how to innovate, as they did in the past, instead of milking them with the same old copy&paste content year after year.
Ditch the high-end games market alltogether, make more room for exclusives and (portable) indie games, the torch they got passed on by the PS Vita.
Last, tidy up the Eshop - the way it is littered with crap titles is a disgrace. At least let me filter the crap out somehow, I do not enjoy wading through all the dirt to find the hidden gem here and there.
Innovate, as in cant be arsed and just port all the same old crap from the past consoles?
Milking them as in Mario kart 8, same shit as before but if you want new content, you have to pay for it as DLC.
BOTW a massive empty map with repetitive shrines, actual content, again paid for as DLC and they admitted the fact they had far too many ideas to add to this empty game that it would have been too much DLC.
So they used this as the foundation to milk the clearly paid for over hyped first game, to make another and can bet its given to loyal fanboys that cant say anything bad about nintendo and will all overhype it, or pay for it.
Pokemon is another example. God, arceus litrally felt like BOTW recycled, even its sounds, but threw pokemon into it, then later crap out another game exactly the same, but this time with actual content and shit to do.....
Copy/paste? Open your eyes will ya, nintendo have copy/pasted/recycled the same games since they started way back in the 80s.
And as you are a loyal fanboy, you go ahead and contradict yourself.
Ditch the high end market..... which they intentionally do every time they crap out a cheap inferior console, knowing that third parties move forward not backwards.
So it restricts third parties from releasing its new titles, leaving the market open with next to no competition for nintendos recycled crap to sell more.
Make more room for exclusives, well if nintendo didn't focus on their own games dominating sales and actually supported third parties by not only offering equivalent hardware if not better in order for third parties that move forward as technology advances.
Then they may consider paying a group of designers etc to release AAA titles exclusively to nintendo.
But we all know for a fact that nintendo fail to meet the promised sales target for third parties to actually profit doing so unlike they do with sony/microsoft/other platforms.
Nintendo never support third parties with adverts, all nintendo keep doing is advertising its own recycled titles even years after the game launched.
And another contradiction, make room for more indy titles, then go ahead admitting that they are littered with utter shite indy titles.....
This is what nintendo claim to be better third party support as they keep promising everytime they announce/launch a new console.
Old games we've already played and if you're like me, still own or if you don't, can buy cheaper without having to buy a Nintendo console....
Also, the switch has nothing to do with the vita, sony came along to push portable gaming consoles further.
Nintendo got away for far too long recycling the same crappy GB then GBA, milking the market by recycling cheap hardware while technology had advanced and there was no reason for portable consoles to be kept the way nintendo forced it to be.
Nintendos greed being that they thought they were the only console on the market so it had no competition, yet mobile devices were already surpassing nintendo and providing better portable gaming.
The only reason nintendo then entered the 3D era for portable gaming was because sony came on the scene with the psp.... but what do nintendo do, release cheap hardware yet again, with terrible 3D graphics, but started adding BS gimmicks to make the console seem better than it was.
And they tried it again on the wii, recycled the cube and added BS gimmicks, but got too cock thinking they could repeate it again for the wii u, but copying off the tablet concept.
Thinking because everyone is loving gaming on tablets, they thought if they again released another cheap nasty console and copy off the tablet concept that it would take that slice of the market to come over to the wii u.
But devs again ignored it, because they move on as the times change, nintendo always remain in the past and always behind, because its cheaper.
The wii u failed for that reason, not their BS excuse that we thought it was a wii add on and not a new console.
They revise their idea for a new console by actually releasing a tablet as a console, again cheap hardware so that it can't get the promised third party support so they could release their current titles.
No no no, nintendo won't allow that and I can bet 100% that when they announce its next console, it will be another inferior console with promised better third party support aka all the previous titles they lacked, yet again.
Likely copy off devices such as the steam deck and similar, but hold up, dream on if you think they're going to cough up the money to provide you with decent enough internal storage for you to actually install your games, nope, just like the wii, wii u and switch, it will come with 32GB storage.... be amazing if they offered 64GB, but highly unlikely they'll offer whats required...... that expense gets fucked over to the consumer to pay up.
Theyll choose yet again expensive cart based media format for its games, knowing its recycled shit will easily fit onto a small cheap enough cart for them to increase profits. As its games are pretty much recycled and only look better due to running at higher resolution, god the switch still can't run BOTW without major frame drops and slow down, no improvements at all to fix the game.
Yet homebrew guys release and emulator that runs nintendo games better than nintendos very own hardware..... where is this innovation?
We can emulate switch games on nearly any device these days that like my mobile phone is as portable as you will ever get, this fucker is on me 24/7.
Fact, you find more people on the go, public transport, walking about, on planes with their mobile phone in their hands.
Yet, I have never EVER seen a single person playing a nintendo switch
The only reason nintendo continue is because they have such a large fanbase that are deluded and blind, they always contradict and rush to defend their beloved big N, so they know they can get away with it.
But to put it bluntly, there is no need for nintendo consoles anymore, why the fuck should we have to pay shit loads for another cheap shit last gen revamp console to play the same old recycled nintendo titles and third parties porting past gen console games.....
Another joke is how they actually get away with its shit online subscription service, other consoles/platforms give you access to free games be it retro/indy, but they also give you access to today's current games..... fuck me microsoft now give you access to games as soon as they launch as part of their subscription.
But noooooo, what do nintendo give you, even more old shit, like fuck off everyone can play these for free, again on devices you already own.
So there is actually no need for nintendo other than their greed and its mind warped fanboys that think this shit is innovation and defends them and will buy anything nintendo craps out.
But in regard to this post, whats this so called strong line up, they have fuck all lined up other than, again more recycled shit
Ohh but we have a perfect example again for the fanboys contradiction when they bitch at next gen console game prices increasing.
Yet what do nintendo do for BOTW2..... yup, increase its price, yet your not getting anything better.
Your getting a last gen title (though to be accurate, the current next gen consoles now brings them equal to nintendo, with the wii u failure nintendo releases its next gen console aka the switch) but your paying more for fuck all.
Yet go ahead and say ohh well, I like zelda so I will buy it.
So one second your bitching about the other consoles for having its game prices increase, yet its ok for nintendo to do the same, because you like the game, you'll pay that price and buy the game.
Well, that same logic applies to those on the other consoles then, but at least these games are actually costing more as each next gen console has done.
Your paying more for fuck all, a shitty cart that you'll likely have to download the game, that costs you more to ensure you have enough storage
It will barely run 720p portable and 1080p docked, while fuck me, this was expected back on the PS3/360, nice to see nintendo slowly catching up, we now get to experience 4k-8k UHD/HDR/RT/FHD........ and as these next gen consoles are designed with the future in mind, when nintendo launch its next gen console you'll likely finally get games to run at a steady 1080p 60fps at last, or very lucky 2k at 30fps.
But we will see, but it just proves how devoted the fans are.
