Did phones kill handheld gaming?

Nah graphics obsession did

Yes, along with most of the willpower and drive and perspective of the human race entirely, apparently.

t. Still remembers what phones were like. Fore the Motorola Razr

switch is a handheld and its the most popular console

Get your stinky whore's ass away from my beautiful wife.

i think it's too big and under powered.
the problem is that optimization is pretty difficult and kind of a pain unless you are only releasing it on one system.

Imagine that's shinji's ass, haha.

why was mari so touchy-feely in 3.1?

>Most successful console this gen is a handheld
The only reason there aren't any other serious competitors is because Sony are incompetent.

At least post some decent Asuka, faggots

>kill handheld gaming?
Isn't switch the uncontested winner in Japan right now among the big 3?

>i think it's too big and under powered
Retard alert.

mari > asuka

Not just Japan but world wide.

It's 1 console less funny to play as a handheld when in handheld mode honestly and I'm a portable console person, the psp, vita, 3ds new or XLs were more maniable and more natural to handle than It ever was with or without joycons on the sides, same goes to the switch light, I also don't like how the switch came out in general, (online should be free on portable consoles at least especially nintendo's online services which are often of poor quality even if they got better) but It clearly had It's public, It can't top the feel and gameplay style of either the vita and 3ds and is in my eyes but an upgraded concept of the wii U with a different appeal, It's not bad but It isn't my thing

the vita and 3ds were ergonomic nightmares.
with the switch I can use the bigass hori joydicks and enjoy gameplay without handcramps.

No, a lack of popular third-party titles on handheld platforms outside of Japan is what killed it. Ask yourself when a non-Nintendo-published handheld game sold multi-millions outside of Japan.

monster hunter rise.

We're talking earlier than that and I wouldn't call the Switch a strictly handheld platform.

Have we really reached a point in time where people acknowledge Mari as an actual character?

I think the lack of real advancement in battery tech did.

>Nintendo switch sells 106M units despite phone's supposed "dominance"
This is like PC fags pretending console gaming is dead yet most major games are built and optimised for consoles and release on console first. Phonefags (may God forgive them) are the same but a lot more cucked since they only shit like pubgm and free fire lmao

no, it's just funnier to clown on Asuka

I really like those pics where she is walking around the streets dressed like a street worker.

Consider that the 3DS had its lifetime sales cut in half compared to its predecessor, and didn’t have the excuse of Sony providing significant competition this time around. The iPhone 5 sold all of 3DS’s lifetime sales in the year it came out alone. Nintendo realized this and intentionally made the Switch larger than (most) pockets as to not directly compete. It’s over for pocket gaming unless you either 1) hold on to your 3DS or Vita, or 2) get some chinkshit handheld that may or may not have reach past PS1 emulation. It bites.

moar please!

Nintendo Switch is a home console with a shit design. Even if you we're to play in "portable mode" the joycons would fuck out on you in a month.

It's over

user, we're clearly talking about platforms like the 3DS, PSP, GBA, etc. What goalposts am I moving?

weird delusions

performance is virtually unplayable when you use it as a handheld. we're talking framerates and resolutions below the PS1.

>says this while still making money off of the franchise

hollow words of a hack that hasn't produced anything of note since evangelion

It's an overglorified handheld you fucking retard. It's literally just a tablet with attached controllers. The fucking UI looks like android 4.0. Stop pretending this shit is "hybrid home console" when it's a tablet with an hdmi out which is something your phone can also do. I guess that makes your phone a home console huh?

She's perfect until she opens her mouth and shows the buck teeth with gaps. She should really get those fixed.

Hips too wide

Mine's on my switch lite. Still fine after 2 years. The only occasion I got slight drift was when I played botw, took a toothbrush, scrub the sticks a little, and no issues to this day. I feel sorry for anyone throwing out their joycons when all it need was little scrub

Happened to me.
I only played it in portable mode a few times. Then Mario wouldn't stop walking left. I didn't say it was a hybrid console, I said it was a home console. The screen looks worse than the Vita and that came out ages ago. If the Wii U is a home console (an underpowered Nintendo exclusive machine with a tablet gimmick) then the Switch certainly is. Except the Wii U analogs still haven't broken on me.

Do you think the majority of people saw Evangelion on Toonami or something? They didn't even show EoE if I recall correctly.

Sir, would you please sit down?

>hasn't produced anything of note since evangelion
I'd agree with you if he hadn't made Shin Goji.

>thinks the wii U gamepad is the console itself
The switch is a tablet you fucking dumbass. The wii U is an actual box that sits under your TV. And the vita screen is much lower res. The only thing going for it was oled and even then switch oled already exists with a much bigger screen.

Want to take another crack at that post? Without the broken English this time.

Sorry I can only do broken english at the moment but basically
>ds, 3ds, psp, vita had nice designs that didn't kill my hands and managed to fit anywhere I wanted
>switch too big for pocket gameplay and joycons makes for poor controls in my case
I literally get the opposite, I can hold a 3ds or vita for hours but a few minutes of phone or switch will kill my hands, index and thumbs specifically, It's too big and the joycons are too thin and long, I can't focus with the joysticks and the one the right feels off to use

Touche. I guess I could've just said emulation in general. It's always a fucking screenshot of the title screen or tutorial area. I assume people that emulate just don't play video games.

ah yes, the wiiu which I could just take out of my house to play on the bus.
fucking niggerbrain.

Anno is a hack

It's just YouTubers grabbing whatever the most popular games are and showing the beginning area
