They will move on to 7th gen.

Nintendo is a handheld company now. Right down there with mobileshit. 2 gens behind in hardware. They're not even part of the console industry at this point.

10 year old hardware, ports of games from this gen, and games created solely for babies that retards also play because they're retarded.

They'll create a tablet with equivalent power to the iphone/Samsung galaxy two-three years ago. I shit you not.

have the next console improve on the switch's design. they have a market that the other two aren't entering so there's no reason to abandon it until it stops working.

Nintendo knows they are a gimmick toy company now. They will have another WiiU tier flop next gen and exit the hardware industry for good. Then they will start putting their happy meal games on other platforms

How's Switch going to get ports for next gen games? It's a 9th gen console that sometimes struggles on 7th gen games, the console itself is a fucking disaster of hardware had it not sold purely on it's gimmick.

I guarantee you I could spit in a nintard's face and all they would do is continue to sit there in their own shit-filled pants.

Maybe Sony will actually have some games this time

I hope Nintendo makes a ps4 tier handheld. For playing on my living room with high specs I have my pc

Its not. Its going to be a repeat of the Wii. Too weak for next gen ports but its too popular to ignore so third parties will be forced to make shitty exclusives for it or else investors will have a shitfit.

Yeah, "games" like Mario Party and Wario Ware amirite?

Retarded newfag kek

>shilling for PC boxes while shitting on iPads
good goy

They don't need ""performance"", they aren't selling ""performance"", they're selling fun at a reasonable price.

They just released a VR set that is literally cardboard and plastic you set up on your switch, and it's extremely fun to use, all while only costing $40. That's like 15% of what PSVR costs, for a more fun-oriented experience. Congrats PSVR, you have ""Performance"", at a very high cost.

The next Nintendo console will probably be like 10tflops tops, and cost like $300 bucks, and that's looking like 5 years into the future of course. It'll still be more fun than either of the competition.

Is this one supposed to be shitting on everyone but Sony or just Nintendo? Because the skeleton Xbro looks rad as fuck and the Pcbro is an absolute unit.

the game will look the same with many cross platform titles

It comes with a game card with software, there's like 8 main "games" and then 64 minigames, alongside dev tools to build your own games, 33 videos you can watch, and a bunch of other little shit. They're putting more stuff out there too, Mario and Zelda are both getting free VR DLC updates this week.

It's $40 senpai, I don't know what you were expecting for that price but for $40 it's a fucking steal.

already did, a lot. probably because I wasn't busy shitting my pants and marketing myself as a retard by playing toddler games in public.

No better than paying 500 dollars for some weaker PCs

I specifically said 5 years from now. Nintendo is generally about 1 gen behind in tech, and 5 years from now 10TFLOPS is about what you could expect if Sony and Microsoft are both putting out 12+TFLOP systems right now.

yea sure you do

PS5 and NextBox will almost certainly be sold at a significant loss. Combined with the giant economies of scale both companies command in the supplier marketplace, that means you're not going to find a better priced PC of equivalent power (at launch anyway).

Meanwhile Nintendo charges you $300 for technology that's featured on $100 Chinese tablets.

Cope more, Pokemon will have made 200 Billion by the next 10 years, Nintendo will be making consoles long after You die

Nintendo doesn't even attempt to compete with Sony/Xbox/PC anymore, and I say that as a huge Nintendo fanboy
they're running a completely different race than every other competitor

Literally impossible, if Nintendo was ever in danger of failing all they'd need to do is say "Hey Microsoft, want to buy the rights to some series we don't use anyway like Star Fox?" and they'd get enough money from the deal to survive instantly.

Of course that's nonsense as they not only profit on console sales, but basically every 1st party game they make has huge profits, and they even do side projects like mobile games now, which also pull in millions monthly with no end in sight.

>It comes with a game card with software, there's like 8 main "games" and then 64 minigames

And they are all complete shit. This is like shilling the fucking packaged minigames that come with the OR for goodness sake. Are you really that starved for games? I mean I know Nintendo's had a quiet 2019 but jesus.

Switch owner and long time fan here
Nintendo needs to move into next gen, because the current switch hardware is too behind to keep up with what will be coming out on next gen. A switch update won't be enough cause It'll still have the limitations of the switch. Ps5/xbox 1080 will be to far of a jump from where the bar is set by the current generation. Switch can barely already keep up.

Sure thing user.

We'll wait until launch, given that the PS5 is likely to cost Sony $100 per unit sold, I doubt very very much you'll be able to buy a PC of equivalent performance for 499.

Bear in mind that the component marketplace has been completely destroyed for retail buyers because of buttcoin fuckers too.

I still don't think mobile GPUs will reach 10TFLOPS in 5 years. Even if you don't account for the moore's law plateau you'd need over 6 years to reach that point

Nintendo can get away with it because unlike Sony and Microsoft they've literally always had a 100% guarantee that they would produce quality 1st party games found nowhere else (legally). Nintendo is the owner of like 30% of all IPs worth owning in videogames, and of like 90% of all IPs that are known by normies.

Correct, and they sold at a loss at launch and represented a genuine generational leap.

>and PS4/Xbone

Incorrect Nincel/P-Cuck. Both Sony and Microsoft stated categorically to investors they wouldn't repeat loss-leading pricing strategies for the PS4/One, which is why we got gimped mobile CPU tech for both. Massive recession plus PS3's abysmal launch were what contributed to that.

Nintendo will still take a few years because they offset their releases by about half a generation. You'll get a PS5 in 1-2 years, then a new Nintendo console in ~6 years and then wait another 4 years or so for the next Sony console. Nintendo stopped directly competing with Microsoft and Sony ever since the Wii cause it's just a power struggle and gamble on who gets the best 3rd party support. The prize for the winner is black numbers, while the loser gets red.

But Yea Forums isn't a place to be aware of that. It's much better to ignore it for constant console war shitposting. Might as well watch these curves and shitpost according to those.

?

Who said it would be mobile? Nintendo could go for an actual console in 5 years, and a successor to the Switch in like 7 years. Similar to how they succeeded a full console with a hybrid, they could later succeed that hybrid with a full console, and then continue the hybrid line in the other direction than the one it started in. Nothing stops Nintendo from having 2 "home consoles" in 5 years, just like nothing stops them from having 2 "mobile consoles" today.

Only shills care about company profit

Not him but you're retarded. The PS3 started retailing at something like a $200 loss. The 360 significantly less (like $100 or something). This is factually established. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Are you claiming that console manufacturers lie about selling their products at a loss? Why would they do that? It's not something investors like to hear, they'd prefer each unit generates a profit when sold.

What division are you talking about? SCE or Sony Corporation as a whole?

What non-Nintendo IPs in gaming can actually rival shit like Mario, Zelda, Kirby, ect? There's no chance in hell Nintendo has under 30% of that tier of IP.

Why would you support sony with the recent shit they've been pulling?

Reminder that China was the only reason PS4 outsold Switch.

Nothing, because Nintendo doesn't care about power, they care about quality games. Sure, they would get the "muh performance" fags to buy from them, but at the same time they lose sales from the gamers that can't afford an extra $200 to make the console slightly more HD.

You've named their three biggest franchises, which are admittedly huge. But outside of those three, things like Kirby and Star Fox are simply not that well known or popular anymore.

Nintendo hasn't made quality in atleast a decade now. They still don't have anything of Bloodborne's calibre. Nor of God of War's. They just cling to the same safe toddler-oriented ideas over and over again. Zelda was raped. There is no other way to explain BoTW but a complete raping for the western open-world audience.

>Switch has sold more than the PS4 everywhere but China

Where are you getting this from?

What about Fortnite, CoD, Minecraft, Uncharted etc? I could go on for a long time.

Buying a console is like buying a prebuilt, except one of them has games made for it

You say that, but if I remember correctly there were people that were very upset about minor changes and memes being in their localisations.
Hell there were constant threads with the censorship stuff, I only learned about the Fatal Frame, #FE and Fates censorship from here.

They continue making handhelds until mobile pushes them all the way out, then they go software only

The PS4 has been out two years longer than the Switch, of course it's not going to be keeping pace in 2018. Lifetime sales are another matter. How do you think the Switch will be performing in 2021 when the new consoles have arrived? Pretty poorly.

Those are people who happen to own Nintendo platform(s) and enjoy games on them. They're not "Nintendo fans" per se. That's a different cohort entirey: think Dobson, MovieBob et al.

The fact you even find consoles valid forms of gaming entertainment is the real problem

Nintendo is already irrelevant to most core users. Even if they decide to release an upgrade, it will be a shit tier one due to their poor choice in hardware.

Labo isn't a game, autist, it's never been marketed as a game and it doesn't try to be one. Labo is the equivalent of an art project/gaming hybrid, the concept is that parents can spend some money to get their kid to actually do something creative and thought-provoking instead of playing Fortnite all day, all while in the guise of a videogame. It gets the kid to spend 10 to 15 hours on art projects and actually utilizing basic skills like following instructions, paying attention, and patience, which makes it easy to understand how your autism keeps you from understanding the appeal labo has with kids.

Pic related isn't supposed to be some hardcore "muh dark souls" experience, it's an art project where your kid spends 3 hours building a fishing rod and accessories, and then gets to experience a little fishing game, with just about as much immersion as possible, where they literally hold a rod, reel the stuff manually, see the results as they happen, and have all the matching visuals, physical feedback, and sound required to make the experience compelling to children. The end result is to try to get kids interested in the world outside of gaming, which prevents wastes like your autistic ass from becoming sorry excuses for humans. Labo is anti-autist insurance for parents, teaching kids basic skills and getting them experiences outside of Fortnite, without being "un-fun".

I mean, it is. Sony is keeping single player games alive while Nintendo is making shitty multiplayer experiences with awful systems like timed map cycles.

You can emulate BoTW on PC already. There's no need to get a Switch.

>Zelda was raped. There is no other way to explain BoTW but a complete raping for the western open-world audience. The rest is the same recycled toddler shit for decades. Nintendo does not make quality games. They make children's toys.

Maybe graphically. The story of a parent and their child has been done to exhaustion.

I have a Switch and never use it. I dont think its an important part of anyones choice since it has next to no fucking games.

t. Switch owner.

Which is a soft reboot of all its mechanics and a complete overhaul of setting and story. Compare this to Smash Ultimate which is just TR4SH with more characters.

You literally just said Zelda was "raped". Sounds like they applied changes you apparently disapprove of, so much for the '90s rehash

>What about Fortnite, CoD, Minecraft, Uncharted etc? I could go on for a long time.
You could, but you still wouldn't push Nintendo below 30%. Yeah, Fortnite is popular with kids. CoD and Minecraft too. But Pokemon eclipses all of those combined when looking at actual lasting appeal and the massive empire Pokemon has built up.

TLOU and GoW are nothing alike in narrative and is telling you've played neither game. Not to mention them being completely different in gameplay aswell.

Imagine being so scared of the switch you have to pretend Next Gen is the winner

>Not even close, PC gets most of the Switch library through ports, including the indies.
>Comfy is a meme, no adult plays on portables
>The Switch's library is mostly 30 fps and BELOW more often than not.

Nice false advertising.

Pokemon is irrelevant compared to Fortnite now. Don't kid yourself. Kids don't care about Pokemon. They care about Fortnite, Roblox and Minecraft.

they wont. i dont know what their plans are to keep the switch alive but the switch will experience a giant sale drop once the next gen releases.

most next gen games are gonna look better than rdr2 looks now. the switch struggles with ps3 ports. even with switch revisions they just cannot get proper third party support next gen. this gen is already stretching it too.

The only thing risky about it was that they made another GoW after 3 and it wasn't another prequel for once.

No it's not for kids fucking sony fanboy! It's for adults!!!! Stop trying to act so mature!

>it's afraid

Anyone else remember after the Wii's library completely dried up and Nincels started pushing the whole PC+Wii thing?

The thing is, outside of Zelda I have absolutely no interest in Nintendo first party titles anymore. Mario Odyssey was boring precisely because it felt like Galaxy was impossible to top, likewise for Galaxy 2.

I mean I loved BotW but beyond that, my Switch basically gets no interest or attention at all. It's a shame because it's a genuinely fantastic game, despite the open world having a lot of flaws.

Yeah, when you ship units out to literally everyone that could potentially buy your product it turns out sales drop afterward.

They probably bought a ps4 or xbox for themselves and the Switch for their toddler age children.

They will wait some company to fuck up and get a big stock of something powerful and cheap, then buy those chips and design a console around it.
And if this plan don't pan out, a newer, 5nm tegra chip that will most likely get around the PS4 pro level of power, but with 16GB of memory to be able to store the next gen assets.

Why mention that it won GOTY when Zelda did too. How come it counts as a valid accolade for one but not for the other?

Don't need to be specific. It literally released in a lull period of not only no console releases, but general electronics. Imagine still losing despite the competition being a long ways away from true next gen.

> got games bundled with it while Switch barely got anything
The Switch was literally ALWAYS bundled even if its first year, the Mario bundle was the best seller for the time.

Those are very old systems. Their three latest systems before Switch all died prematurely.

>won GOTY
so did BOTW
You admit BOTW was GOTY material then
>Soft reboot
So did BOTW, why does GOW count as an overhaul but BOTW counts as a rehash

Nintendo is in a comfortable position with the switch

Half way through next gen they will make a successor the switch with the same concept since it’s obviously working and will continue to get support from third parties since literally nobody else wants to make a handheld

Teraflops are a completely useless measure of power, as it only measure how many times per second you can repeat the fastest instruction in the chip.
It's entirely possible to design for example a GPU that have 50 Teraflops of power but still perform like an S3 Virge.

Because GoW's overhaul was to the benefit of the series while BoTW's overhaul just ruined the series identity and removed level design and adventuring in favor of EMPTY OPEN WORLD GAME

Yes, its just a meme. PC users dont give a shit about Nintendo. It's just a bunch of toddlers building PCs to abandon ship and have a crutch.

Are you stupid? It's going to be $499. I can't believe you're doing this dumb shit again, Microsoft can take a loss, Sony can't.

Does Splatoon 2 have any more than a handful of maps now? I played it and it just reminded me of those gimmicky multiplayer games you find on Steam.

It wont.
Not even Square is keeping exclusives on it.

>can someone explain how switch will get 3rd party support next gen when it can barely run ps3 games?
The same way it gets third party games like REmake 2, DMC5, Sekiro, etc. It won't.

Yes on both counts. Why wouldn't either of them? They are both games that even normies couldn't resist playing. Fucking South Park had to make an episode about RDR2.

Are the games perfect? Of course not. Do they both break some boundaries and try some new shit, in a way that is attractive to both hardcore gamers and also people that normally avoid games? Absolutely. Do they deserve high scores because of it? By definition, yes.

Also notably botw has a user score of 85 and RDR2 has an 80. Both obviously have troll reviews, but a 5 point gap means something.

As long as the new Nintendo console can push native 1080p I will buy it. I have a PS4 and a Switch and probably my favourite two games of this generation were Bloodborne and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. XC2 was a beautiful game with excellent environments but it was massively damaged by how it ran. Docked was ok because of the smaller screen, but playing it on my 65" 4k TV was fucking painful. It's like 720p upscaled to 1080p so it looks like you've smeared your screen with vaseline. I just want an averagely powerful console or a working Switch emulator so I can play weebshit.

This is actually a much more complex situation than you think it is.
The PS4 barely can run PS3 games because the power of the CELL.
A CPU designed from the ground up to be absolutely horrible at anything regular CPUs are, while being great at things that regular CPUs aren't very good at.
If you try to run any high profile switch game on the PS3, you would have to drop it to 600p and hope for higher than 20 FPS frame rate, also completely ruin the textures because the 512MB of memory ain't gonna fit the 3.5GB you can put on the switch.

>Pokemon is irrelevant compared to Fortnite now.
the key word is "now". 5 years from now Pokemon will be huge still, and Fortnite will be forgotten.

Pokemon will regain a huge burst of popularity when Sword and Shield come out later this year, but even right now it's in a good spot.

Nobody is keeping exclusives on any consoles

Sony lost Yakuza exclusivity the same day

>Is a console supposed to sell more because no new systems are out?
Nintendo ones always do. Front heavy sales, moreso after all the mainline stuff is released.

For both games, the user score is more accurate than the shill paid scores. Neither BoTW or RDR2 deserved the scores. And you missed the point entirely - don't rely on shitty journos to rate games. BoTW is a joke towards the Zelda series. Same for RDR2 being a joke towards RDR1. But with literal drones like you sucking corporate cocks, we will have to endure more bad games who slavishly obey MC.

Everyone who isn't a Nintendo fan should be happy about MS and Sony finally pulling their finger out and delivering some decent desktop-tier hardware for next-gen. Like people have already said, developers shoot for Sony and MS's hardware as their baseline standard, that's why the PS4 and One era saw only very marginal graphical and technical improvements.

It's fucking fantastic both manufacturers are going back to delivering a real jump, for everyone (again, except Nintendo fans). So why can't we all just celebrate it?

See

Neither Bore of the Ubishit or RDR2 is attractive to hardcore players. The userscores reflect how overrated they are.

I'm an idort, I'll probably have it either way
but if you think its gonna rival a $2500 GPU in power and be cheap enough to incite the console normies you're a retard

That's some nice future seeing you got there buddy.

In computing, floating point operations per second (FLOPS, flops or flop/s) is a measure of computer performance, useful in fields of scientific computations that require floating-point calculations. For such cases it is a more accurate measure than measuring instructions per second.

In computing, floating-point arithmetic (FP) is arithmetic using formulaic representation of real numbers as an approximation so as to support a trade-off between range and precision. For this reason, floating-point computation is often found in systems which include very small and very large real numbers, which require fast processing times. A number is, in general, represented approximately to a fixed number of significant digits (the significand) and scaled using an exponent in some fixed base; the base for the scaling is normally two, ten, or sixteen.

The term floating point refers to the fact that a number's radix point (decimal point, or, more commonly in computers, binary point) can "float"; that is, it can be placed anywhere relative to the significant digits of the number. This position is indicated as the exponent component, and thus the floating-point representation can be thought of as a kind of scientific notation.

When OP said PS5 is pushing 12tflops he meant the PS5 would be able to do 12x10^12 of these floating point operations in a second second.

You're paying for the whole package autist, that's why they sell you the whole package. One Labo Kit comes with 10-20 hours of art projects where you build the shit, and then you can spend time decorating or customizing them, and then you spend whatever time you like playing with them using the game card.

You don't buy "just" the cardboard or "just" the game card, you literally buy 1 package of all of it, and it all has value.

Nintendo isn't in this race for performance, they do their own shit and reinvent gaming experience each time they release a new console.

Nope, Capcom has made more profits than ever avoiding Nintendo.

Explain to me how that is not pure laziness

I won't buy the PS5. Don't get me wrong. Having the opportunity to play PS4 games and having powerful hardware (for console standards) is quite impressive. But it is not enough of an incentive for to buy the system. From what I have heard that subtracting the PS4 games, the console itself has barely any games. Especially since they announced that they don't want indie games anymore and censor games with sexualized content. They want fewer and bigger games. And honestly, this will backfire tremendously if these games should fail. To be honest with you, maybe PC gamers were right all along, Maybe were console gamers are just stupid peasants that fall for everything and enjoy getting fucked over.

Yes, they've slowly been adding maps the whole time since launch, they've also added a new mode and a shitload of weapons and shit.

i started losing hope for the switch after 2018 had nothing interesting coming out but holy shit the ps5 announcement makes me lose all hope. nintendo cannot compete with a literal ipad with next gen consoles

>Avoiding Nintendo
So why are they being lazy and still putting out old ports on the system if they're avoiding them?

>Capcom got lazy and greedy is what happened.
no, what happened is that nintendo got lazy and greedy by selling a refurbished last-gen console for the third time in a row. why should capcom gimp their games for nintendo in exchange for minimal sales?

With gameplay. Not a single Nintendo console plays the same,each one is different and has it's own gimmicks. They always try to innovate while Sony and Microsoft basically keep releasing the same console but with updated hardware

It sucks that publishers (including Nintendo) can use "muh portability" as a excuse to sell old games for way more than they should be on Switch.

They need a headstart so they'll usher in next next gen earlier and earlier

I don't know if viral marketers did this, but "owning" the Xbone nickname with a skeletal mascot was genius.

Nice false equivalence. Its a shitty overpriced minigame compilation but Capcoms is even worse

This isn't a good thing. Most of the time, their controllers have been absolutely retarded why people are forced to buy a Pro controller to bypass Nintendo's gimmicky shit.

They haven't innovated at all in the last 2 gens. What plays differently between the N64, Gamecube, Wii U, and Switch?

you can thank switchfags themselves for touting "muh portability" as a reason why every game in existence should get ported to switch. publishers see this and get dollar signs in their eyes.
i have literally seen people say that "you pay extra for the portability" to justify the switch's bloated game prices. meanwhile, games were $30 on ds and $40 on 3ds.

>why should capcom gimp their games for nintendo in exchange for minimal sales?
They already did that for the 3DS and sold millions, why did they get lazy here.
And Nintendo didn't charge 30 dollars for some Gamecube games
>Capcom realized they can't stay in 2005 forever
If that's the case why are they charging 30 dollars for a 2005 games? Where are the new games on Switch? Why did Capcom become lazy fucks?

IMagine paying $60 for a fucking portable port.

MK8D which is just a Wii U port with some extra content still costs full price two years after Switch launch.

You're throwing rocks in glass house here. Nobody likes expensive games.

Hell Pokemon is about to be even bigger, possible the biggest movie franchise in the world, Detective Pikachu is going to kill every other video game movies chances forever.

Also while it won't be there, The Initiative is working on the Perfect Dark reboot.

other companies in this industry innovate with their games. nintendo """innovates""" with forced gimmicks while rehashing the same games.
and even then, it's questionable. for instance, how is nintendo "innovating" with the switch by ripping off a feature that the psp had in 2007 and removing features that the wii u had?

If ports cost extra to make, why are they all coming out the exact same day?
If the cartridges are expensive, why is only Resident Evil 0 getting a physical release and Resident Evil and Resident 4 digital only because Capcom are cheap ass fuck
If Nintendo takes a greater part of every sale, why is every other Capcom game priced the same as other systems on Switch?

Not a single one of your excuses adds up. This is all on Capcom being greedy and lazy.

>Banjo from playful
i wish

The Capcom ports don't even have any extra content, so why charge 10 dollars extra?

Labo is worth it for an 8 year old that has a bare minimum of patience, check best buy or ebay or amazon and you should be able to snag a full non-VR kit for like $40. Labo does a great job of explaining every little detail of the entire process, like for the VR camera they have you put a cardboard gear into the camera which not only helps it in "focusing" the "lens", but provides both physical feedback and a "clicking" sound just like a real camera. By the end of the building process kids will not only have experience using their hands to create something mildly useful and "fun" out of plain cardboard and rubber bands, but they'll learn a little about the real world in the process, all while they enjoy the hype of getting to use whatever they build in the game they want to play.

Yea Forums can shit all over labo if they want, but it's one of the best things you could get for a kid that's extremely into gaming, a game that teaches some minor skills and patience and shows a bit of real world to the kid. My 6 year old wanted to go fishing for real after playing around with the Labo version, and even if she wasn't quite patient enough to wait for the real fish, she was a hell of a lot closer after Labo than she'd ever have been before it.

Imagine actually paying for video games and being a consolefag in general

There's definitely a Nintendo bonus in review scores, but I don't think it's always subterfuge. Part of the problem is that review sites hire a dedicated "Nintendo reviewer". Which is the equivalent of hiring someone like MovieBob to review Nintendo's games. Of course he's going to give almost everything Mario/Zelda/Metroid/Kirby related a 10. They're fanboys, it's what they do.

Finally: BotW deserved the hype and praise. Mario Odyssey by contrast was a 7-8/10 game pushed to 10/10 by said Nintendo bonus.

Bowser's Inside Story was a 40 dollar DS game.
Its now also a 40 Dollar 3DS game. And its a fucking remake, not a lazy port.

Not the same scenario

Could explain why Nintendo's consoles went to shit after the GCN and GBA and finally got their shit together with the Switch. Gimmicks are stupid and hold the systems back.

The switch has it’s market, it literally just needs to get a stronger successor

It’s a ticket got third parties to have a proper portable game

Dreams is too hard for nintenbabies with no creativity and logic skills. I wish there was a similar game for PC so there weren't limitations like on the PS4.

The latest Star Fox didn't sell well and wasn't received well though. Smash is just a literal rehash babby fighting game, Kirby is a babby platformer, Mario has run out of ideas since Galaxy 1. Zelda's cool though. I'll give you that.

Why does Nintendo tend to attract a certain type of fan? Usually entry-level anime watcher (shounenshit), Pokemon obsessive, never really played games outside of the Nintendo ecosystem before etc.

MovieBob admitted he'd never played MGS, Half Life, Halo, Mass Effect etc. It finally made me realize why they can genuinely think games like Xeno Chronicles X and Octopath Traveler are good. It's all they have.

the switch would melt trying to run mhw. you're essentially asking them to either dumb down the game on every platform to acommodate nintendo's shit hardware, or make a special gimped version for the switch (which you're already complaining about with mhgu). mhw's historic success without nintendo proves that capcom doesn't have to do either.

I realized this when they overshilled BoTW to oblivion. For anyone who has played the many open-world games of the past decade, it doesn't come off impressive at all.

>MovieBob admitted he'd never played MGS, Half Life, Halo, Mass Effect etc.

Same with Dobson, he shits on Sony/PC/Xbox but he's never actually played a single Final Fantasy game outside of the ones that landed on Nintendo consoles.

Even if they sell at a loss, they will not be able to compete with google. 12 Tflops for free, on any device you want. Nintendo is smart by not trying to compete in that market.

enjoy your input lag, compression artifacts and cinematic 10fps framerate, google shill.

Yeah, based REAL gamers like me know that Switch 'games' like Octopath are obsolete, and trash like FFIII or Live a Live even more so, because modern masterpieces like FFXV and persona 5 are objectively the superior JRPG experience. Check out those metascores!

The Switch is A LOT more capable than the 3DS is. Capcom got so fucking lazy they could not even be bothered to unlock the framerate. MHGU is not gimped, its lazily ported. And they still charged 60 dollars for it, a 20 dollar increase.

Capcom doesn't need to do anything for anyone after MHW's success. They can just scrap any game that's not Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, or Resident Evil. But they still put out MM11 and DMCV didn't they? Capcom's Switch support has shown, yes, they clearly want money from the userbase. They have put out over 16 games on the Switch, but besides Mega Man 11, they're all old, cheaply made ports. They just don't wanna put in any effort, when they're charging 60 dollars for 3DS games and 30 dollars for Gamecube games. That is pure laziness and you damn well know it.

>Implying DS/3DS/Wii is shit

octotrash is garbage. the fact that you're actually trying to group it in with live a live like they're on the same level of quality tells me that you've never played live a live.

They were though.

>paying half a grand for a bluray player

Have you played live a live? The game is a good idea surrounded by mediocre mechanics, poor music, and terrible writing. The translation might not have fucked up as bad as Octopath, and Octopath's shitty Unreal Engine lighting ruined the graphics, but that's the only cons I'd give it in the comparison.

Ps5 please have an ultra blu ray discuss drive. And please patch uncharted 4 and God of War 4 to run at 4k 60fps. And please enable gyro aiming.

saga also did the "multiple stories" formula better than octotrash several times.

Persona 5 is garbage mate. Complete trash. All Megaten games outside of DDS1 and 2 are hyped by ironic weeb girls on twitter and garbage. DDS 1 and 2 are saved by actually having an interesting story/world. Something neither Nocturne, nor any Persona games (including 1 or 2) have.

The Switch has a few things. Though, I still can't play a majority of games that came out in the past systems.

All the consoles do this. He was talking about censorship of games in the current year.

They will never have 100% backwards compatibility, someone has to go and do the work for EACH game to get it to work, they will never have an emulator like Higan for xbox/360.

Then why are so many Nincels trannies and degenerates? Why does it attract so many SJWs like MovieBob and Dobson?

Is maximum compatibility mode still not playable on any computer that currently exists?

I've beaten Half Life 1, Opposing Forces, 2, episode 1, and Episode 2
I've beaten Halo 1 and that's all I can beat because Halo 2 is unplayable due to deep GFWL integration.

Most people have multiple consoles and PCs.

user I made the strawman to knock it down myself

The DS and 3DS weren't held back by anything, if anything, they allowed new games and franchises to appear that couldn't have otherwise.

why is xb skeltal missing an arm?

its playable on toasters, but I would go with the bsnes mercury retroarch core instead, no need for those special chip files and bullcrap.

How can you even dispute that?

They were held back by the touch screens and the 3DS's 3D, even removed that with the Switch. The Switch is the first console since the GCN and GBA to not have some stupid forced gimmick shoved up your ass.

The N is big again. Nintendo is back on track. They know their role.

Then why are they gone?

Are you trying to be retarded, Nintendo's direction with the Switch is why I'm returning to Nintendo, the Wii and DS killed all of the interest I had in them and it also led to them damaging a lot of their franchises only for them to not be getting back on track with the Switch.

just look at the library. it's full of full-priced ports of those supposedly "non-gameplay-focused" wii u games and shovelware for children like labo and yoshi's crapped world.

That's how you do pride correct, everyone is clothed and is celebrating civil rights and not perversity and pedophilia

>They were held back by the touch screens
Oh yeah, that Elite Beat Agents, The World Ends with You, Etrian Odyssey, Trauma Center, Kirby Canvas Curse, Phoenix Wright, and all the countless other titles that greatly utilized the touch screen and dual screens and couldn't even be possible without them were totally held back by it.

Am I fucking dealing with an underaged here?

And as for the 3D, you could just turn that off. It hurt framerates, but once you turned it off, it would be fine.

>waaaaaah why can't you put an xbox one x in a handheld!
use your brain before you post

and yet waggle shit disappeared after last generation because everyone got sick of it. touch screens never caught on beyond nintendo unless you're desperate enough to count mobile "games." the psp was doing remote play six years before the wii u did it and had tv out a decade before the switch did it.
quit justifying nintendo's gimmicks. they only exist to distract people from how cheap nintendo is with their hardware.

>Censorship
>PS4 had like 5 good exclusives
>Not even close to being as powerfull as a current pc
>Posting wojaks
Nice try faggot

Something underpowered and chock-full of gimmicks not even they will use outside of one or two launch titles, I'm sure

Oh yes because the handheld that didn't have 3D pushed gaming so far with titles like... like... um.... panty simulator 8?

Yeah, and now we're getting those games without the gimmick, the gimmicks for the Wii DS, 3DS and Wii U brought nothing to the table, it's as bad as Kinect, Move, and PSVR.

I'm not talking about weebshit.

8K will be for netfilx and yt, not for games. Raytracing will be used for audio and not graphics, which means less rays to trace.

Ok? Then how did the 3D on the 3DS hold back games?

Why would Nintendo care what Sony and MS do? They will continue their trend of being more "family" games and console/mobile hybrids. they have no real reason to come out with competitive hardware, and in fact haven't bothered to since the Wii, which reminder sold incredibly well, and the Switch is also sellling incredibly well. Their only hiccup was the WiiU which was a flop due to very poor marketing decisions first and foremost.

Nintendo will continue to keep consoles "just good enough" for some low end ports of last-gen games (say, Dark Souls, Skyrim), and they'll keep pushing their own games. If you buy a Nintendo, you aren't buying it for fucking multiplats, you're buying it because it's the go-to place for stuff like Luigi's Mansion, Metroid, Zelda, Smash, and Pokemon.

There. That's it. They'll continue with their $300 consoles that are outpaced by their competition and it won't bother them that their consoles don't have 8 gigabyte equivalent GPUs and 16gb equivalent RAM. It isn't really a factor to them.

You want COD? Battlefield? Last of Us 2? Metro: Exodus? Witcher 3? PUBG? Far Cry? Divinity: Original Sin 2? You aren't buying a Switch. They never even considered those, I bet. You go buy a PC, PS4/5, Xb1/Scarlett, whatever. Emulate, if you wish. But Nintendo clearly doesn't care about the competition that way. And Switch probably has a good 6-7 years of life in it before Nintendo will consider a new console given how well it is currently selling

The dual screens weren't gimmicks you 13 year old. They were inherit to many man games core design. Elite Beat Agents is dead as it can't function any other way. The world ends with you wouldn't have existed without the DS existing, Etrian Odyssey was built for the DS, Trauma Center is dead and couldn't literally only work on either the WIi, VR, or PC and none of those provides the level of accuracy that a stylus provides, Canvas Curse is impossible on any other console and Phoenix Wright played best on the DS.

You clearly weren't around for the DS.

The handheld was weak as shit to the point where Nintendo needed to make a stronger model and even then it was still weak.

*in fact haven't bothered to since BEFORE the wii
To be clear, the Wii was not competitive hardware-wise with PS3 or Xbox360 in any way. The Gamecube wasn't even strong, but it at least was in the same relative ballpark as PS2 and Dreamcast.

Then why are the dual screens gone? I'm so happy we're never getting another DS and Wii and the Switch is Nintendo's future.

Nintendo Switch is still the most powerful handheld for the money, unfortunately.

consumers today demand higher res and larger displays. having two is no longer viable without a compromise.

>Their only hiccup was the WiiU which was a flop due to very poor marketing decisions first and foremost.
If you look only at the end results, then yes. But people tend to forget the 3DS was doing no better than the vita at launch and Nintendo had to tank a loss to be able to get the thing off the ground

>Then why are the dual screens gone?
I don't know, why is the gameboy series gone?
They aren't gone because they failed or because people disliked it considering the DS and 3DS sold a combined 230 million units.

Yet the handheld with even faster hardware than the new 3ds STILL didn't bring anything revolutionary or push boundaries

So their getting gtx 1080 Ti - 2080ti performance for 599usd? No way they aren't selling these as massive loss the ssd memory setup alone + gpu would cost that much
Guess early adopters win if they have a shit pc

It would have been weak with or without the 3D aspect dumbshit.

Thus it was a worthless gimmick no one asked for or needed, glad we're back to square one again.

Switch feels like an evolution of the Game Boy series, Nintendo used to make add-ons that allowed you to play Game Boy games on the TV, that stopped when the DS came to be.

Why did it need to? Just be a great handheld that plays games.

It would have been stronger than it was.

>Thus it was a worthless gimmick no one asked for or needed, glad we're back to square one again.
Again, how is it worthless if it was the impetus for multiple franchises that wouldn't have possibly existed otherwise?

lmao at still believing that nincel fanboy's "blue ocean strategy".

>Just be a great handheld that plays games.
And it was. Just like the DS was, and all the nintendo handhelds before it

The "Switch 2" will prob be on par with PS4/Xbox One and able to run more graphically intense games

> Pushing 12 tflops
flops metric doesnt say much. You can make the same by many different ways that require different amount of operations. Not mentioning that "floating point" doesnt say anything about precision.

You don't measure fun in tflops or dollars.

Xbox Adaptive Controller

you don't measure it in cardboard or full-priced ports either.

pitfall

Because it forced you to stop playing the game to use the stupid ass stylus.

And it fucked up many of their franchises, let's not talk about the DS's Zelda games.

Nintendo will release another gimmick just as powerful as a PS2 to match with the visuals of their overpriced B-rate kiddie games

Agree. Cardboard, VR, 4K, portable, gyro, online and other stupid gimmicks mean nothing. People just want to have fun. Everything else is just a fad. Consoles are sold thanks to exclusives, not gimmicks.

DS had shit Zelda games, it wasn't until Nintendo started to realize that the DS gimmick was retarded with the 3DS where they stop making gameplay with it a priority making ALBW play more like a classic Zelda game over that DS shit.

That's the best idea they came up with, Microsoft is doing the same thing, gimmicks almost ruined gaming as bad as SJWs are doing now.

Something they had to go to Nintendo for. That already speaks volumes

this is by far the worst generation of all time both console hardware and software wise. both xbox and ps4 were underpowered garbage on release sporting shitty mobile hardware and there has been more flops of big games this gen than i can ever remember. all the big franchises which were once staples of the industry like fallout, mass effect, battlefield, halo etc are fucking laughing stocks now and there's still more to come (tlou2). also graphics have barely gotten better since 7th gen and all games look like 7th gen games in 1080p. this new gen looks more promising with actual good hardware specs (and modern tech support like RT) and i just hope the games are good too because fuck this gay industry if they all flop again because of muh diversity and shit.

Dude I can buy five cardboard boxes, some glue and scissors and give it to a kid together and call it a value.
The cardboard included is worth less than 5 usd so most of the money or value for worthwhile purchase is in the games.
Let me put this in simple terms
Lets say you buy 100 usd of labo. The cardboard is worth 10 usd and the games due to the price is worth 90 usd. The bulk product is the games and most of the worth is from the games. If games are bad 90% of product is shit.

To add to this , it's also about laying the groundwork for your successors, letting long time and short term employees understand that shit isn't gonna go south if the gaming industry changes, as it always does.

Yes they are relevant just dont cry when you dint get thier games.

you know the cardboard cutout stuff for labo is free, right? Nintendo just sells the cardboard in case you need any

The Switch already is ninth gen.

Are TFLOPS the bits of the latest generations? I mean, the rage within the 3rd - 6th gen of consoles was bits

>And yet Microsoft finally used their heads and figured out the one truth to this video entertainment industry, strong games and long lasting design.
and yet they have neither.

Unlike Microsoft, Sony at least has the balls to push support for their add-on device. Also where the fuck is Hololens? During the reveal, they hyped it as being Xbox compatible (same with VR).

yes, but that's only because they are a pretty good measuring stick for GPU power even if it's not the be-all-end-all of it

The power gap between the PS5 and Next Gen Xbox probably won't be very much. I would expect it to be similar to the PS4/Xbox One gap at the start of this generation.
They will both use AMD tech. We already know Navi is going to refresh the 580 line, but not really update the Vega/Radeon VII line. CPUs aren't a huge impact on games these days.
So really performance wise they are competing on load times and how much RAM the system has.
No one commissions their own tech anymore. They just go to AMD and ask them to tweak existing tech.
