Nintendo NX -Just a joke?

[Eraser]

It's all about the software now.
Only new titles I've heard so far are Mario Odyssee, Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2. The rest of the publishers that have announced something appear to be ports of existing games.

[Mat Linnett]

And the one third-party game they've been using in a lot of the promo material, Skyrim, won't be a launch title.

[AndyW]

So its 349E here + a game =390-400E

This is the end of Nintendo!

Don't forget the fake supply shortages.

Yes, that's all well and good, but as a home console maker proper, ala Microsoft and Sony, they will not compete. They will have the hand held market and the niche "playing on peoples need for nostalgia" market.

Yeah the NES mini really rocks, and i will buy one (now you can izi-pizi softmod them).
I hope they announce a Snes mini soon.
That classic stuff has more potential ihmo (money-making-wise).
I think its the DS & 3DS stuff that has saved nintendos ass over the last years...

EDIT: As Don Carlos said

[Κracus]

Yeah, there can be delay on hdtv with old hardware, and it looks really bad unless you get an expensive upscaler that doesn't add lag. Plus you actually have to mod your nes to use rgb out because the signal on the av cables is abysmal, which upscaling cannot help.

In theory you should be able to get extension cables for the controllers i'd imagine. For peeps who don't wanna bother with emulation and want an easy way to play some popular nes games with the old school controller the nes mini is probably fiiiiiine.

It's actually pretty decent. Plus you can hack them now and add roms to it beyond the 30 it comes with.

The real problem with that price point is this:

Yup - they've really screwed the pooch now

[AndyW]

LOOL!!!

Pro-Controller 70 USD/90E
set of 2 joycon 80 USD/100E

https://www.beyondpixels.at/joy-con-und ... s-bekannt/
So its 600E for:
-base-console
-2 extra-joycon
-classic-controller
-1 game

You forget the €15 Switch steering wheel:

You should it's way faster...

Maybe for arcade guff; but if you're tryna get some FWD bucket of shit around that cunt of a bend in Wales, without hitting the fence post, right prior to the water trap, you either do some pre-trained Streetfigher shit on the stick, or you actually steer the car.

I uhh... understood like half of that.

Seriously though, I play tons of Forza which is pretty good in terms of simulation driving and anyone in the top 200 uses a controller over a wheel. I've tried a wheel myself and lost about 2 seconds a lap.

It's pretty ridiculous isn't it? It's almost like Nintendo doesn't want us to buy their stuff.
Been on the lookout for a NES classic but it's still nowhere to be found. Got €60 in my pocket but it looks like Nintendo ain't getting it.

[Eraser]

Good article on what's wrong with the Switch. Pretty much everything except for the Switch itself:

oh man no

i suspect it has happened from the inside out

how long before the licensed properties get bought cheap by disdey!

[AndyW]

At least i have high hopes for a Nintendo Classic mini- Snes this x-mas.

[AndyW]

Nah, i mean the console...
Like the NES-classic mini (in the right):

EDIT: Sorry Memphis, i got you wrong.
But i think this one is the best and coolest way to emulate, you can add roms that you own the games of now due to a hack.
And the controllers are very nice too

[AndyW]

I had the same problem with the wii-u.. 32gb is a joke!
If they lower the price for the base-set to 250Euro i will give it a try...
Im a big nintendo fan, from nes to wii-u i had em all. (2ds but not 3ds, no VB, no disc systems for famicon&64)
The best times were clearly the nes/gb/snes-times imho!
Why Nintendo?? WHY???

[AndyW]

I was thinking about how good 2d/3ds´s "Zelda -A link between worlds" was and came up with this idea:
If you could attach the controllers to the screen when the screen is in "vertical" position would be great, and maybe an option to play your 3ds games on that system.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild File Size Is 40% of Switch's Storage

Nintendo Switch has 32 GB of internal storage.

Downloading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Nintendo Switch requires 13.4 GB of storage.

Buying the next Zelda game digitally will take up over 40% of the console's 32 GB of internal storage.

lol

Yeah, 32 gigs is a bit, well, 2010 isn't it?

[Eraser]

About the classics; don't you only get them for one month, then you still have to buy them?

Why not just emulate again?

Apparently so.

This is all so typically Nintendo. I just had another Nintendo frustration with my Wii. I have a bunch of VC NES games I never play anymore. Main reason is that after switching to component cable due to getting a new TV, these NES games only display a black screen. Apparently this is a known issue when playing VC games with component cables. There's a fix that involves pressing some obscure button combination on the user guide index screen for that game, but you need a nunchuck attachment to do so and it doesn't work for all games.

So Nintendo releases a service on a console that doesn't work properly with component cables. WTF Nintendo?!
It's almost like things have become too complicated for them since different types of TV, Internet and social services became a thing.

[AndyW]

They should go back in time and make Hanafuda Cards again!
