REGGIE BLOOMBERG INTERVIEW - NX IS NOT ABOUT SPEC

youtube.com/watch?v=Xhl5sk9i6Mk&feature=youtu.be

>Lets them fight in red ocean
>We dont care about teraflop

Another Wii console in the making ...

>It's not about the specs or power
I'm sorry but it is Reggie. Don't start talking about content when you only bring 2 games to E3 and then starve Wii U users until next March.

Nintendo a shit

Who else is quitting Nintendo after Zelda?

>we're not competing again
3 times and it only worked once

Is the Wii U going to get a price drop any time soon? I want to pick one up and crack it but I don't want to spend $300 or get one used.

I hope Nintendo doesn't let this slide and give Reggie a good consult about how marketing works. If not then fire him for doing a poorly done job and to tell him to take his shit memes with him.

Very disappointing, really.

So after that Ubisoft report and this thing

Its 99% confirmed that we will have ourselves a new Wii

Whats its name Sup Forums ?

We will he realize multiplats are nearly just as important as exclusives? What's the point of creating a console only your company knows how to use?
The modern gamer just wants 1 machine to do all their gaming on, they don't want to buy NX + PC or NX + PS4, they just want 1 device.

> tfw Nintendo will bankrupt in your lifetime

what is the actual reason for nintendo hardware always being a gen behind power wise nowadays?

>NX IS NOT ABOUT SPEC
>We dont care about teraflop
They better fucking should care about it if they wan't to attract third party devoloper and with that actually selling their disgusting consoles

Wii U 2

screencap this because Nintendo is this fucking retarded

muh shekels

Why not quite now. There is literally no reason to keep supporting such an out of touch company

They either need new management or get out of consoles all together and become 3rd party for others

Nintendo has a better chance at surviving in the film industry than gaming

>NX is just an overclocked Wii U with a redesigned gamepad

Trying to not sell their console at a loss like everyone else because they know they're not gonna make that money back on software sales

THEY LEARNED FUCKING NOTHING

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM

they don't want nintendo consoles in general so why invest in them
seriously Nintendo could cure aids and wake you up with blowjobs in the morning and people would still call it kiddy shit

lmao she's in silicon valley s03e08

>it's about trying to trick normies into buying our overpriced, underpowered shit based on some hardware gimmick nobody wanted or uses.

WII 2 U

So it's not about specs, and it's clearly not about games since only one was shown for E3.
What is it about then?

Zelda BotW is the Last Nintendo product I'm ever buying. I was actually on the fence or not about the game till this E3.

TRYING TO ACHIEVE THE WII'S GIMMICK CRAZE AMOUNT OF SALES: VERSION 2

HEY YOU DUMB FUCKS NO ONE ENJOYED THE WII U IT WAS BORING AS FUCK JUST MAKE A NORMAL CONSOLE

>Underpowered piece of trash that costs $5 to make but they sell it at $399.
>Retards still buy it

Easy money

Nintendrones literally committing suicide right now.

Nintendo are saving all their games for the NX launch.

I will buy the NX at launch, the Wii U has had amazing games. Consistently polished and focused on gameplay, not cinematic snoozefests.

WiiUMee

You can kiss strong 3rd party support goodbye. With ports of popular Wii U titles in the works, there won't be BC.

Now it makes sense why they didn't want to show it off at E3

They got completely blown the fuck out back whenever they made stronger consoles than Playstation, then they got incredibly lucky with the Wii so now they're stubborn as fuck in thinking people want gimmicks instead of more powerful hardware. They can't understand they need third party support if they want to compete but if you don't have the hardware to run the latest CoD and shit you're immediately out of the race.

PS4 isn't being sold at a loss tho and its 5x more powerful than the wii u while costing like $50 more

New Wii U Wee Wario

I've bought every Nintendo console since the N64, I'm picking up BotW for the Wii U and calling it quits

You haven't even seen the NX or the new games yet, seems a bit early to state that.

For you Nintoddlers who defend this shit, better specs allow more room to work with for developers in terms of features, not just graphics. If specs didn't matter, the N64 would still be getting games. NX is just Nintendo being cheapskates who suck money out of the manchildren audience.

Wii LIE 2U

>From Wii 2U

Calling it now

...

Pretty much done with them now aside from 3ds piracy

They want the younger audience, which usually has parents buying them budget toys. They got lucky with the Wii gimmick, as a lot of idiots fell for the motion control bullshit which later turned out to just be waggling and people wised up to their shit. Now they're trying to cash back into that market and times have changed.

I notice that QoL stuff they made a huge song and dance about was never, ever brought up again.

So it won't be 6 teraflops and just be one mega flop?

these kiddies will buy the latest Mario game with no complaining.

Keep telling yourself that

They're not as big or technologically invested as MS and Sony, they can't risk or spend as much as them.

...

IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR NINTENDO IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CARES ABOUT GAMES

>I'm sorry but it is
Hello underage, do you remember the Xbox and Gamecube?

>the Wii U has had amazing games.
It has a handful of good games, and mostly forgettable junk. It's one of the many reasons why the system failed.

Maybe they're referring to the 4K thing?

I seriously doubt the NX isn't on par with the original PS4.

>nintendo makes the NX because they want a more powerful system
>this comes out today
why the fuck is nintendo always so far behind hardware wise?

probably died with Iwata

I'm not joking, the new CEO probably dropped it to focus on his own strategy. Its a alpha - beta leadership thing

They could make a ps4 clone and it would still barely sell, and no one would buy COD on it over the others. Nintendo has a reputation for being kiddy shit that they will never escape

fuk no, of course better specs gives room to better graphic features, but thats about it, with talented programers and designers they can make a game a 10000 times better than any thing out now, you dont need state of the art graphics to make a game good, it only makes tame pretty and more expensive to make, thats all.

Kek

the Wii literally obliterate ps3 and xbox360.

They had their chance, and followed up with another gimmick console, and they are doing it again.

This is fucking embarrassing.

That ocean is red with Nintendo's blood. If they release a fucking Wii U 2 which is barely as powerful as the vanilla PS4 and X1, it's game over. 3rd party devs will fuck off yet again and all you'll be looking forward to is delayed first party releases every now and then.

Nintendo is a mess.
Nintendo is a waste.
Nintendo is a big fat mistake.

both the wii and the wiiU have no game thats better than 6/10
i just read through the whole wiiu library again and there is not a single game i would want to play.
same with the wii. i flashed it and thereby own the whole library but every single game is shit, even the first party ones.

all nintendo has are childish platformers without online support. sad

No, its gonna be flop

>Laughing cause that's fucking hilarious
>But fucking disappointed that it's fucking true.

If Nintendo cared about games they'll become a handheld and 3rd party software company and do what they do best. Nintendo has such good games but you have to purchase a useless piece of shit to play them which isn't worth it.

better specs also drive up developement costs and are the reason everything is a linear third person shooter now, because developing anything else is expensive as shit and takes too much fucking time
the console race is inflating budgets like crazy, everybody trying to outdo eachother will just end up in everybody killing themselves
we had good graphics during ps360, just take that and use the additional power on perfomance

Well, given that it's easier for low budget games to be developed for weaker hardware because they don't have to put so much attention to detail graphically, can the NX become the weeb console sort of like the Vita is?

>it's not about specs, it's about locking exclusives to antiquated hardware

NX threads will never stop being shitholes.
>NXfags unironically trusted Emily "Zelda will have a female Link" Rogers

>Nintendo has had 3 years into this gen to make something that can match xbox one and PS4
>Still comes up with under powered mario machine

Yet still they will sell that ancient hardware for $400

Not surprising at all. They have to sell the consoles with a profit so they are forced to make the specs garbage. Another blunder generation for Nintendo probably their last to be honest.

>This entire post

>forcing devs to waste time optimizing around weak hardware is a good thing

Because the graphics arms race is what literally killed video games thanks to it's ability to hilariously inflate development costs for no extra profit, resulting in the death of nearly every formerly great video game studio, and is why video games today suck balls, because every company has to play it safe in most regards so that they can turn a profit and not go bankrupt.

Nintendo tries to keep costs down by making hardware they can turn a profit off of so they can stay in business and not die out like basically everyone else has.

Of course, people will continue to cry "U-underpowered!", like you'd expect the massively moronic video game consumers would, and then eat up the actual remakes, remasters, rehashes, and samey games that come out on other platforms, which are also hilariously underpowered, because people that play and pay for video games frankly has no standards and will just follow the biggest marketing budget.

If it's not already painfully clear that basically every game ever made from here out will be on PC, then you should aquatint yourself with that knowledge and then pick the 1 console with the most/best exclusive games you want to play, as that's really all that matters in console land and ever will, as consoles are now mainly just PCs for babbies with I guess the exception of Nintendo's things.

No, in reality it allows devs to be as lazy as humanly possible because they can throw optimization out the window even harder than they already do

>we make gamers smile

yeah I smiled when I saw the textures in zelda

Another gen in last place for Nintendo then.

Not even gonna get zelda unless the dump rumors are true

Only if it has a feature that lets you rub animu girls

>ubisoft report
Explain

They haven't given a single fuck about anything but Mario, Zelda and Amiibos for years.

>We don't want to lose $5 billion despite selling 80 million consoles

And what, exactly, is wrong with this?

Hardware won't magically change demographics and spur millions and millions of people to suddenly buy AAA garbage on Nintendos platform.

Anyone who thinks selling an expensive console at a loss is a good idea for Nintendo is simply beyond fucking stupid. Western publishers want a certain demographic and better hardware will not make that market abandon Sony and MS overnight.

Sony and MS themselves aren't even doing it anymore because they lost billions on 360 and PS3, Xbone and PS4 are weak machines cause they both knew they couldn't pull off the "loss leader" model, it failed miserably for both of them. No one is ever going to make a powerful console again, it is simply not viable anymore.

So the controller will be like the Steam controller with more haptic feedback and pseudo nipples in the middle of the touchpads.

I've been done with Nintendo since the wii. It's pretty obvious that the nx or whatever the fuck they call it will fail and either Nintendo will be done or they will undergo a major overhaul. Even Nintendo's hardcore fans are jumping ship, what with the metroid and paper Mario business. Any way you look at it Nintendo's future doesn't look good

>70+ new IPs since the GC
>T-t-they only care about Mario and Zelda!

Nah. The complete lack of multiplats was the only thing keeping me from biting the bullet and getting a Wii U, and it looks like the same thing's going to happen to the NX. I'm not sure how big of a demographic I represent, but the demand certainly isn't non-existent.

They cry underpowered while playing at a silky smooth 24 frames per second.

flops with terrible exclusives?

>When pic reality becomes reality

Holy shit, i thought it was just a joke, but pic related will actually come true, that's just so sad.

IT ALL RETURNS TO NOTHING

I just want a console/handheld hybrid.

I could really not care less about the specs as long as I can play all the Nintendo games on 1 thing.

I'm not going to drop until it has my 6 teraflops. :o

Well fucking DUH Sony and MS just announced new consoles, one of which is 4x the power of the PS4. NX was started development in 2013, probably aiming for PS4 level tech.

What they're saying is they're not going to go back to R&D to show up the 6 teraflops Scorpio - a console which will be niche as fuck and underutilized. They're going to stick with the tech they've developed over the last 3 years.

I think Reggie is basically saying "We're not aiming for anything Gen 9, we're aiming for Gen 8 level"

I legitimately cannot tell if you have down syndrome or not.

>No one is ever going to make a powerful console again

xbone and ps4 were loss leaders, well at least the ps4 was but not since early 2014. The xbone is likely to still be sold at a loss because MS had to drop the price so much and bundle it with like 3 games in many cases

I've pretty much regretted my Wii U purchase since day one, no zelda, no metroid, no true 3D mario, no third party support, and Nintendo seems unlikely to admit their mistakes and change their company's direction

>Using a stream compressed stretched screenshot
lol

im not baiting, why does everyone say im baiting when i state my opinion? name me 5 good games on the wii and the wiiu?


the best wii games were tenchu, muramasa and madworld and all of them were 6/10s and could have run on a gamecube ( i have not played xenoblade i admit )

nintendo seriously made 2 dogshit consoles with insulting hardware in a row and because i bought them i could neither play games like demons souls, red dead redemption or bloodbourne or any RPG and had to play shitty remakes and waggling games with cute characters and no online support

FUCKING SHIT HELL; I DIDNT BUY THE WII U; I DIDN'T BUY THE §DS AND I DIDN'T BUY THE N§DS BUT FUCK;

if the NX Version of Zelda doesn't look three thousend two times better, I will probably buy the console, because the gameplay looks fun, but FUCKING SHIT still disappointed tho

Ohhhhhh the shilling

nintendon't defense forces riding in!

Multiplats aren't going to help them.

Multiplats at this point might as well just count as Sony exclusives. It's where 50-80% of their sales go.
