NX being 2017 was sorta expected. It not getting a blowout at E3, however, is disappointing.

Zelda being an NX launch title was expected. It not getting released at all until 2017, however, is disappointing.

Zelda being the highlight of their E3 was expected. Having absolutely nothing else playable to show, however, is disappointing.

Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing were announced for mobile today. Them not being actually full-fledged entries in the series but likely more like Miitomo, however, is disappointing.

No NX at E3 is distinguished mentally-challenged but whatever. I'm the dope that's gonna buy it anyway cause it's the only way to play new Nintendo games. :yeshrug

Didn't think about it before but yeah, the GC adapter can technically be forward-compatible with anything using USB ports (as long as they're not type-C, though.)

Smash port with all the DLC + Snake/Ice Climbers = D E F I N I T I V E

At the very least they could have done an event like Sony did in 2013 where they said "We're not ready to show the console itself yet but here's some of the games"

Just show Zelda, Pikmin, a tech demo of the new Mario and some 3rd party AAA's and indies they got on board. "This exists, please be excited. Pre-order now". And they can't even manage that :derp

A Splatoon port would be nice too. That was a good game that I didn't play a ton cause you had to use the gamepad.
Given how successful that game is (esp in Japan), I think either a port of a sequel will probably happen on NX. A port w/ crossplay to Wii U to throw NX users a bone at launch would be nice I think.

A sequel probably can to a small extent (seeing as how the original game pushed consoles in Japan briefly) but nah a port definitely won't as it'll be just an "extra".

That said though, Nintendo really needs third parties on board to save their sinking ship, but I really doubt it'll happen at this point. Nintendo is still behind the times and still have no clue what they're doing half of the times. And their consoles has been gradually selling lower and lower each gen save the Wii. Wii was an exception because it chased a completely different market, all of which moved on to mobile. Can't say I'm too optimistic at this point tbh.

That's really that sad thing.  I don't give a shit about Nintendo doing things right, they can continue to flail in terms of the hardware market.  All I want is Zelda, Mario, Metroid, and Mario Kart from them, regardless of where it comes from.  This past generation I've barely gotten anything from them.

Fuck it, the best thing that could happen to them is if they become a software only company.

I've been thinking for a while now that we would get the same amount or more Nintendo games if they went third party.

If you cut the costs of hardware out, we definitely would be at this point.

"What about their handhelds though?"

Pokemon and Fire Emblem would work well on phones anyway, Monster Hunter should become a console series at this point. Super Smash Brothers on every platform available would bring in buckets of cash.

Hopefully the NX bombs hard enough for them to not lose staff but get out of making hardware and focus on software only.

If anything, I think their dedicated handheld systems should at least stay. They're still doing okay on that front, and I largely prefer those systems over phones, they're much more comfortable for handheld gaming. But that might be just me because really I just want a dedicated handheld market to still exist.

Not to mention Monster Hunter thrives as a portable experience, so I don't think Japan would really care that much for a console entry.
Title: Re: Nintendo NX launches March 2017
Post by: TakingBackSunday on April 27, 2016, 05:51:46 PM
With their development team restructure, I think it's easier for them to possibly ditch hardware if another failed product launches.  They now have Entertainment Planning & Development and Platform Technology Development.  If hardware continues to be a source of failure, I could totally foresee them dropping the latter and beefing up the former.

Also, fucking force Miyamoto to be a simple advisor.  He's the reason for so many shitty decisions made in regards to software being developed in tandem with hardware.

Ya Nintendo really needs to drop out of the console race.  They've fallen so far behind I doubt they will ever catch up to anything modern.  Just look at their online; it's like just crept past xbox 1 standards.  Then there is modern graphics.  Having entire teams who only know how to program for gamecubes for 2 decades can't be good. 

DS though needs to stay.  Mobile is shit and Nintendo is the only real source for handhelds.

And you don't think Nintendo will be when they do? They'll be humming along fine with their hardware and say "Fuck it, third party"?

No. Even now they're doing a massive re-org because of the failure of the Wii U and it remains to be seen how that affects their software output (nothing 'cept Zelda at E3 isn't a good sign.)

"Going third-party" isn't a possibility for a healthy hardware manufacturer. When it becomes an option, they're already in the same position as Atari, Sega, etc. were - weak, afraid to take chances, poor, and suffering from brain-drain. The third-party transition isn't possible without a massive cost.

I wish The Elder Scrolls 6 will come out this holiday, completely taking the wind out of Nintendo's sails since the next Zelda is supposed to be a Skyrim clone.

Nintendo put in less effort than usual this generation.  I think it's because the Wii U was such a dumpster fire that they wanted to spend minimal amounts of time and money developing software for it.  No need to go all out when the game is only going to sell 1-2 million copies.

I have rock bottom expectations for the NX and don't expect it to be much of an upgrade over the Wii U.  If the Wii U was 2007 era technology, NX might be 2010 era technology and I'm being generous here.  If it is a handheld/console combo then I don't expect it to be any more powerful than the Wii U except maybe some minor memory and CPU upgrades, only because it would be cheaper to get.

I could never see myself playing Mario platformers on a touch device.

I wouldn't mind seeing real Animal Crossing and Pokemon games on phones, but they'd have to be a hell of a lot more optimized than Miitomo is. I'd also be really concerned about burning through too much battery. Nice thing about 3DS vs. phone gaming is that I don't have to worry about the 3DS's battery or it heating up enough to cook an egg when playing something mildly intensive. I imagine a marathon MH4U session on a phone would toast it within two hours at best. (iOS people with MHFU, please chime in.)
