Do you agree with him, Yea Forums?
The switch is living off of welfare from the brainwashed ninten hivemind
People aren't carrying around switches, he just forgot about its primary mode
Right in a sense
I've only seen small children with them in public. Still successful as a console.
Everyone at Game Freak is obsessed with mobile and thinks mobile is the future. I wouldn't be surprised that the only reason they're still developing for Switch is because Nintendo is holding a gun to their head to do it.
The Switch will outsell the ps4
lol no wonder Pokemon has gone to shit if this guy is in charge
Nintendo needs to buy Pokemon out entirely and leave Game Freak to rot
Well who can blame them at one point PoGo made like 16 million dollars a minute
everything is a success after Wii U
If only creatures inc and the Pokémon company weren’t too busy being faggots they would’ve done that forever ago
And they are right, Nintendo would make more money by making some shop app on an Iphone than by developing their own hardware (which is always cheap shit that is years behind from everything)
Ishihara is the CEO of the pokemon company, not Gamefrek. Gamefreak I'm sure would make the game better if they had more time and people, but the pokemon company itself wants a new game each year to keep toys, anime, and cards always in the public consciousness.
Well it makes sense that as a Japanese person he's thinking that they gave up on home consoles and handhelds are on their way out too in favor of phones.
I mean, he hasn't been wrong. The Switch has been a complete embarrassment so far.
Embarrassingly successful if anything.
Yes, it is a failure. In this day and age the standard that the competitors set out is quite high and Nintendo came up short.
An embarrassment for the snoys, yeah
That makes it sound like Sword and Shield was developed for phones in mind just in case the Switch failed, and now that the system is booming, GF has no choice but to put the game on Switch, which it isn't optimized for.
>movie games
>30 fps ports that you can only play on a couch
>high standard
Lol. Switch has both but on a portable system.
This honestly makes the most sense for why it was so heavily downgraded.
This. Wii U 2.0
>Gamefreak I'm sure would make the game better if they had more time and people
Then just fucking hire them you cheap fucks. Forget that it's the top grossing ip on the planet. Fucking interns could code, model and animate better than game freak can.
FUCKING CHINKS can do better than game freak can.
Says the sonyboy
This, I actually wanted to buy a switch but there's just no reason to.
>BOTW
Already played it on Wii U and have mods on PC
>Smash
Effectively DLC for 4 but the online's paid and worse now, so no.
>Prime 4gotten by nintendo
>Mario Kart
Already on Wii U
>Mario Odyssey
Legit the only reason I'd want it, but I'm not dropping money on a console for a single game.
>Pokemon
Chink bootlegs legit do better than game freak on every front
And the cheap version of the switch is just a handheld. I'm not taking this outside ever! I'd rather they just cut the price further by deleting the screen and just giving me a box to sit next to the TV.
It's impossible for me to justify a purchase of this thing.
The only advantage it has is "no censorship" but that's just a claim. You look at Samus in smash, or try to get a panty shot and it's obviously just lip service.
*oof*
I was thinking the same thing. I thought nintendo had to transition into the phone industry to maintain their dominance in the handheld industry. I guess not though. I wouldn't mind seeing a nintendo phone that's kinda like the sony xperia play
the online for smash is better user.
and you skipped a lot of good to excellent games
He's not wrong. I've only seen someone use a switch in public once and I've used public transports like the bus and train. The guy was at the food court in the mall playing something. This was years ago.
Cope
have sex
He never anticipated just how brainwashed Nintendo consumers are, they will buy ANY piece of shit gimmick hardware to play the 1 or 2 game series held at random, this has been proven time and time again, almost ironic that a Pokemon game dev said this when his entire game series has always depended on the Nintendo hive mind paying for every underpowered Nintendo handheld console
What standard? By the end of the year the Switch may very well have completely outsold the Xbox One. And it'd be in 3 years versus 6 for the Xbox.
pathetic
We already know Switch is a success now though?
Back when this was a relevant question (before March 3rd 2017), I would have said yes which is why I bought a launch day unit.
It was clearly a turn around in marketing/branding for their hardware and Breath of the Wild spearheaded a turn around against the negative view of their software that the first year of WiiU, MarioU, Legocity Undercover, and Pikmin 3, established and the droughts and horrible finish with furry kusoge and Stick Star 2 that the WiiU library was. It was obviously going at the very least crush the WiiU and short term Breath of the Wild justified the expense.
>almost ironic that a Pokemon game dev said this when his entire game series has always depended on the Nintendo hive mind paying for every underpowered Nintendo handheld console
He wanted the Switch to fail so that they would never have to move to developing for the Switch.
Game Freak never wanted to leave 3DS or lower tier development, or mobile. They never wanted to move beyond that but the success of the Switch forced their hand and now they can't hide the flaws of Sword and Shield behind shitty 3DS hardware.
Being forced to play party mode when I just want For Glory isn't better.
