What would you like Nintendo to do, Droford?

I'd like Nintendo to only develop software.

Ask again in 15 years. Nintendo have already said that they make more money on Wii U games and hardware than they would if they were a best seller on PS4. Consoles are on the downswing in terms of sales, that's why mobile is the only one worth them dipping their toe into.

Even with mobile, based on analyst predictions, Super Mario Run made $30 million on iPhone in 2 and a half weeks. Apple will take their cut on top of that. Mario Maker 3DS brought in that much revenue in Japan alone only not counting those that bought on the eShop.

Nintendo is a failure. Shut up.

Big Vic 01-04-2017 12:54 PM

I'm not saying they are a failure I just rather not pay for a Nintendo console and another system on top of that.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-04-2017 01:19 PM

It's nice to want things.

Big Vic 01-04-2017 01:27 PM

Just let me answer Kalyx's question in peace :(

For those in Europe, pre-orders for the system are now available while according to a leak from Gamestop, North American pre-orders will go live on January 14th.

Quote:

despite all of this lack of information, Gamestops across Europe are jumping the gun and taking pre-orders. It's set at a generic placeholder price of €499.99, but if you really want one, you can put some cash down on it sight unseen. Countries that are holding pre-order opps at the moment include Italy, Germany, and Ireland.

There's also a rumor that GameStop just got a company-wide memo stating that pre-orders will go live in North America the day after the presentation on January 14, which does seem likely (especially since the leaker, allegedly a GameStop employee, has been correct before).

Games for other systems. Stop making stupid consoles.

Eh, we've been able to pre order at placeholder prices for months now.

I'm pretty sure Droford doesn't care if Nintendo leaves money on the table.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-05-2017 07:25 AM

So the Zelda release thing is weird.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...s-release-date

It might be delayed in Europe to translate it, but still hit launch in US and Japan.

Big Vic 01-05-2017 08:23 AM

It's because you guys have weird slang like 'Bloody hell', 'avada kedavra' and 'expelliarmus'

I'm sure that They can make lots of money selling 30+ year old consoles and stupid "collectible" figurines

Droford 01-05-2017 01:13 PM

They can call the figures for the switch switcheroos

Yes, new series in a line of toys called Amiibos.

Swithermiibos

Kalyx triaD 01-05-2017 05:05 PM

Do you want them to make games for consoles you own? Are you consistent about exclusive first party games or you just really want Zelda on a PS4/Xbox?

Kalyx triaD 01-05-2017 05:07 PM

I want SFV on Xbox but it is what it is.

Those treehouse things stress me out because they always seem like something I'm being left out of, like everyone's invited to play in the tree house but I don't get to go in, probably because they happen when people are normally at work.

Suda 51 recently teased he wants to make a "No More Heroes"-like defining game for the Switch.

Quote:

VG247 spoke to the game's creator, Goichi Suda (Suda 51) recently, and he noted that he wants to do the same thing on the Switch, if possible. Talking about the subject, he explained, "Nintendo always makes really cool, interesting hardware that gives us new things to do. On the Wii, not to brag, but I feel that I made a game that used that Wii technology in one of the best ways. I want to find a cool new way to play using what Switch offers.”

Some Hori official accessories got leaked, including a USB Ethernet adaptor and a pro controller that looks like it has a PS4 like share button on it and this bad boy

If that's coming out, I'm thinking Tekken 7 or MvC Infinite gets confirmed for the Switch on Friday. I can't see it being for Smash.

Droford 01-10-2017 10:46 PM

Super Mario Frost Land sounds like the logical sequel to Super Mario Sunshine

Sepholio 01-10-2017 10:46 PM

Injustice 2 might get confirmed for switch as well if not already.

Sepholio 01-10-2017 10:47 PM

I could get behind an ice themed Mario game. Ice always ups the platforming difficulty and leads to excellent aha moments in Mario games. Plus they could put an emphasis on the classic fire flower power up. I'm down.

Shovel Knight was announced to be getting ported to the Switch along with a few other platforms.

Quote:

Yacht Club Games is bringing its beloved platformer Shovel Knight to Nintendo Switch, which, hell yeah. That and that alone could've been the only news item on a day like today and I would've been thrilled. But there's far more, including updates to the existing versions and a planned price change ...

Here's where things get slightly confusing. Shovel Knight is going to become Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, and with that alteration, players will "have new options to purchase each campaign as separate, standalone games on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC/Mac/Linux, and Nintendo Switch."
