Make the console powerful, even though if I cared about power, I'd better build a PC.

No gimmicks whatsoever, make a plain and simple console, basically I want a PS4 or Xbone copypaste but with the Nintendo logo slapped on it.

The console must be innovative though, no gimmicks but I want something fresh and unique like VR.

Bring back the third parties, even though I won't buy their games in the end because I love complaining about how AAA games are shit and ports are inferior for my tastes. I buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games anyway.

I'm sick of rehashes. Give me new IPs, no matter Nintendo makes plenty of them each gen but, if their aren't big budget and successfull, they don't count and I don't like them anyway.

Stop experimenting new shit with Mario and Zelda, give me a good old rehash of my nostalgia defining games like Mario 64 or Ocarina of Time. Bring back all the niche series nobody but me care about, Nintendo MUST cater only to my special and refined tastes.

The console must also have at least ten 10/10 games at launch, certified by Metacritic, I don't want to buy a console with nogaems at day one.

And then, finally, I'll buy your console. Not at launch though. On a sale. With a game or two bundled. Only if it is successful and it wins Media Creates threads, I hate buying unsuccessful consoles.

>and it wins Media Creates threads

Honestly though, I want it not to be backwards compatible.
I want to see people being forced to buy a Wii U or a 300+ dollars PC for CEMU to play Wii U games.

And given how they will use cartridges and they want to leave behind the "Wii" brand, my wish is basically granted.

Cartridge based 16 bit RPG/sidescroller system like snes.

Nintendo, no more gimmicks please. I don't even care if your console is under powered. Just make fun games and release it with a NORMAL CONTROLLER.

...

I might as well dump my shit here

Can you post some NX patents?

Like most games on Wii U being playable with the Pro Controller? Like a good chunk of Wii games being playable with the Classic Controller?

A handheld with a minimum of 720p resolution that can play all their games up to WiiU and I'll buy it.

Interested in hearing about this console/handheld hybrid thing.

And I might remember as well that Botw having "different" visuals doesn't mean "better" visuals. Watch out with your expectations, people.

Why would they said "different visuals" instead of "enhanced visuals"?

It's because the NX is weaker than the Wii U, as it's a handheld.

Because saying 'enchanted visuals' is a comfirmed kick to the nuts for Wii U owners

But by saying 'different' they can just imagine it might be worse to stop their buyer's remorse

Abandoning the Wii U is already a kick in the nuts.

They clearly don't give a shit about the 5 people who own one.

The NX itself is a kick to the nuts of Wii U owners so far. So if they had to say "enanched" they would have said it. They purposely choose "different".

What's the point of speculation threads at this point?

You're wasting your fucking time, just wait for it to either leak or be revealed.

Let old games drop in price to $20 like everyone else, and produce enough of special editions that if I want to give you my money I can for fuck's sake.

This, fuck these threads. Give me more off topic threads about literally whos on twitter.

You guys have no idea how nintendo advertises right?

Look at twilight princess' advertising

To add on, it is also to make sure that the Wii U version gets some copies bought.

Powerful console with Nintendo software that innovates in gameplay rather than hardware. That's literally all they need to do.

It seems more you don't have any idea how PR talking works. But sure. I can't wait for BotW on NX not looking enanched but simply different.

don't post in the threads.

>No gimmicks whatsoever, make a plain and simple console, basically I want a PS4 or Xbone copypaste but with the Nintendo logo slapped on it.

The NX will have a gimmick because Nintendo wants to give their customers an experience they CAN'T have by simply building a PC. That was their philosophy for Wii, and Wii U, although the Wii U was a massvie failure. Witht the advance in technology we get nowadays and new generations of consoles basically popping up every 3 years from now on with the 4k and scorpio consoles will soon fade into redundancy, and noone will want to buy a console if you can't even use it for more than 3 years until it becomes useless.

But with the Wii for example, even with the dated graphics, the games you can play on Wii you can only play that way on Wii, i just hope NX gimmick is something less tedious than the Wii

I remember that all of the advertising for TP was focused on the Wii version. I was originally surprised when I found out it was on GC too.

And now, with BotW, all I'm seeing is Wii U everywhere, with scant of a mention of the NX. Even though it supposedly launches in less than a year.

no, they need third parties.

Yeah, they need third parties to release awful ports of 3 years old games at full price nobody will buy, so they can blame Nintendo for the low sales.

I'm geniunely curious why Nintendo says "We haven't revealed the NX because we're afraid other companies will steal our idea!"

Honestly Nintendo, if you're next console is a handheld hybrid, you won't have to worry. Nobody will steal that.

Third parties come flocking themselves if the system is simple enough

Dunno. Handheld hybrid thing would be nice. The 3DS is really fucking dated.

I want the freeform screen thing as well, if it does end up being a handheld. It'd look gorgeous.

why did wiiu fail?
no one wants an underpowered gimmick machine. that casual market has long since shipped out and moved onto phones, etc. they don't want a premium Nintendo experience. and they're not catering to the "hardcore" audience, so they really have no one left to appeal to. nx will be their last console and after this they'll probably start making games for sony, or steam.

Wii was an underpowered gimmick machine that sold more units than PS3 and Xbox One combined.

Wii U failed because the gimmick was uninteresting and almost never utilized in games, and when it was it was fucking tedious and annoying like Star Fox Zero

>The 3ds is dated

They just released the N3ds 1 year ago, and it's like twice as powerful as the 3ds

When they released motion controls, all other companies did the same, see Move and Kinect.
When they showed the Gamepad for Wii U, Sony made a big deal of Vita as a PS4 "gamepad" and Microsoft started to talk about Smartglass. Of course, the gamepad idea failed and both Sony and Microsoft dropped both the Vita and Smartglass pretty fast. But if the gamepad turned out successful, both Sony and Microsoft would still try to sell you on off-TV play.
So yeah, they are trying to avoid something like that.

I think you're underestimating the importance of his point about the casual market having moved on. The Wii came out before the iphone. It's a different world out there now. The same thing won't work again.

Why is the Wii U not like $100 yet?

No.

An early Emulator for PC, because fuck them

remember the dsi? it had literally 3 games that were exclusive to it.

and they were all terrible. no one makes games for a more powerful version of something.

I would like to see them burn to the fucking ground for all the bullshit they've pulled in the last decade.
>tfw i bought a wii u

There is only one reason the Wii U failed. Bad advertising. It's the only big difference between the Wii and Wii U. Both had gimmicks, both had shitty third party ports, both have more value in first party games, both are underpowered compared to the other consoles.
The only big difference is, the Wii was marketed in a godly way, the Wii U was marketed so badly people thought it was a Wii add on.

It's all about marketing. Nothing else. Same reason the ps4 is selling this gen. Marketing.

The only reason people buy nintendo hardware is for nintendo IP's

All they have to do is release new mario and zelda games for it to do well

>It's the only big difference between the Wii and Wii U

Wrong.

The Wii's big thing was that it popularized motion control as a concept. The Wii was setting trends, and other followed after it.

The Wii U was following the tablet market. IPads already existed, and Nintendo simply couldn't compete with them, so they failed.

Because Nintendo prefers to make a profit out of few units sold rather than selling out a hundred more consoles with less profit.
When the GC was dying, not even multiple pricedrops saved it.

Timestamp

No more NX thread until the piece of shit is actually out
>muh hybrids
>muh cartridges
>muh xbone power
>muh ps4 power
Just saved you the whole fucking thread god damnit

>the games you can play on Wii you can only play that way on Wii
Don't PC's support the Wiimote via Bluetooth now?

The reason the Wii was a trend was because it was well marketed, that's it.
The Wii U followed indeed the tablet market. But it still was marketed like shit. If it was marketed better, tablet market or not, it would have been more successful.
It's marketing, nothing else.

T-Those don't count!

backwards compability that goes back to the NES era

Then report the thread, cuntcopter. If it breaks the rules, you won't see it anymore.

>If it breaks the rules, you won't see it anymore.

>If it breaks the rules, you won't see it anymore
wew

pro controller was awful.

Wii U tablet didn't even have to be a gimmick.

It could've just been extra info you need at a glance, like a map or quick equip adjustment. And when did they use it like that, it was great.

They should've loaded it up on RPGs and other genres that would heavily benefit from stuff like that.

But instead they tried over and over to shoehorn gimmicks in, to show third parties the gamepad's ""potential"".

That pasta again, everytime.

Explain to me how the Wii U could market itself to compete against the already entrenched Apple and its iPad?

You don't understand, look at the DS and the Wii. Both broke ground and popularized concepts like touch screens in gaming, and motion control.

The 3DS just rode off the coattails of the 3D fad, and sold less than its predecessor, while the Wii U tried to go up against Apple.

Nintendo's success always been when they set trends, rather than follow them. When they follow, they lose out.

What exactly can anyone speculate when no new information gets released between these threads?

and yet they don't. huh.

It really wasn't.

Yes, but for example MH4U is a 3ds game yet it has better textures on the N3DS

>72 hour life span
>Wireless
>Comfortable button and stick placement
>Created for people who bitched about the Gamepad in the first place

Nah, it wasn't.

can't blame everything on marketing. they tapped out that casual audience, their loyal fanbase felt alienated, and moved on to the competition, or quit games altogether. they have a lot of work if they want to get that fanbase back.

Shitposts.

>Explain to me how the Wii U could market itself to compete against the already entrenched Apple and its iPad?
Because it's not just a tablet, it's a whole console. And the Wii U, with off tv play and asymmetric gameplay, can do things your apple products can't do. There.
As you see, the differences are there. But the real problem, the one you keep furiously ignoring and denying, is marketing.
Let's use your precious Apple as example. Their products are shit. Putrid shit. Why do they sell? Guess what, MARKETING.
It's not a matter of following or creating trends. Because the trends starts with marketing. If you don't market something, the trend doesn't fucking exist.
You really underestimate the power of marketing. You give more value to derivative things like "trends", stuff that exist only thanks to advertising.

the classic controller maybe. whichever was for the wii. that thing was a piece of junk. couldn't even plug it directly into the wii. no clickable sticks, no vibration, dpad that rivaled the GCN in awfulness. not to mention those horrendous shoulder buttons.

This, to be honest family members.

That piece of sh*t will never compare to my trusty DualShock™ 4!

DOA
Nintendo will be finished after this

Despite their pandering to casuals, both on Wii and Wii U there are games made by them that most Nintendo fans appreciate.
The "loyal" fanbase you talk about are just nostalgia-filled people, those that think the N64 and GC were awesome despite being unsuccessful compared to much weaker consoles, ps1 and 2. They are the ones that keep asking for a powerful console, ignoring the fact power means jack shit.
And yes, marketing will always be a big part of a console's success. Not a single best selling console in a gen was badly marketed. And there's a good reason for that. Marketing is more important than power, "loyal" fanbases and whatnot.

>Because it's not just a tablet, it's a whole console

So is mobile gaming now. iPads, iPhones, smartphones in general, they're gigantic.

>Their products are shit. Putrid shit. Why do they sell? Guess what, MARKETING.

Whether or not you like it, the iPad cornered an in-between market for those who wanted something less than a laptop, but more than a phone. It's not just marketing- people didn't just needlessly eat it up because it was there. There was a want for it. Apple's created products before where there was no niche, and they failed.

The variations that the Wii U brought were laughably small compared to what Apple was offering and still offers, while coming in a year later. They had to play catch up.

Honestly, I feel like you took an economics class, and are not just kind of spouting words that you heard.

I like how you quoted two things, didn't even bother to actually argument on them (because if you think tablets being gigantic = console gaming you are nuts, you even ignored the main difference between a tablet and Wii U), and you end your post with a personal throw off and ignored everything else.

It's ok though. It's not easy to admit to be wrong.
Marketing is the main thing. Marketing starts trends.
Allow me to end my post just like you did with yours: if I took an economics class, I'd argue you didn't take classes at all in your whole life.

Classic controller Pro improved many things. But yeah, it's shit compared to the Wii U pro controller.

>optimistic about removing region lock
please for the love of god, do it
please Nintendo

>they have to work
In the current industry you don't have to work at all. Everything is so formulatic they just need to shit out some slightly less shitty version of the competition and thats it

That's a real deal breaker for me. I don't give two shits about power, gimmicks and other trivial shit.
Give me region freedom and I'll love your console. Hell, I don't even care about censorship but with region freedom censorshipfags would have no more reason to complain. Just buy the original uncensored copy and here you go.

You just keep parroting the word "marketing" while ignoring the zeitgeist of what was going on when these products were released.

Name a console that used motion control on the scale of Nintendo in 2006.

There was none.

Name a product that utilized tablet concepts that wasn't Nintendo in 2011.

Apple, and they beat them by a year.

The core differences between the benefits of an iPad and the Wii U tablet are comparable to the Wii Remote and the Playstation Move. Pointlessly nonexistent, except the Wii came out first.

The Wii U wasn't a graphical powerhouse. The argument that it's more powerful than an iPads loses water when you compare the loss of practical uses compared to Apple's product. There was just very little reason to see the tablet as a draw, and the problem being is that that was Nintendo's ace up their sleeve.

The reality is they have no reason to remove region lock.

It's not even there for westerns anyways. There's like 8 people who import games either way.

It's so that they can overcharge for their games and prevent people from importing for cheaper.

>Implying it's wrong
>Implying it doesn't exactly show the out of this word wishes of some people

Well, I do hope they keep parts of the NX gimmick, mainly for the purpose of aiming in shooters.

Seriously, the damn controls for Splatoon are almost as good as keyboard and mouse, it's fucking great. If they kept that with their next controller (Like, make a normal controller but with gyroscope?) I would actually be pretty happy.

>The reality is they have no reason to remove region lock.
I don't know. All their competitors have region free hardware.
There have been petitions and hashtag bombing about the region locking, enough for Iwata to notice it and comment on it.
All their handhelds before the DSi were region free.
I mean, you are technically correct, they are not forced to do it and they have no reason to remove it. But they still could do it.

It's just me or the captcha is crazy today? It opens many layers of transparent shit

>People shit on gimmicks by Nintendo
>The same people praises VR, despite being a gimmick that needs other gimmicks used by Nintendo already to work, like motion controls, gyroscopes and stereoscopic headgear

Ib4
>Hurr durr implying Nintendo invented those gimmicks
No, idiot. I'm not saying Nintendo invented them. I'm saying Nintendo got shit for using them but apparently it's ok if VR uses them as well.

Just a random heads up.
Nintendo is holding a contest to design a T-Shirt with Nintendo characters.
Fact is, the winner will receive a NX console.

How do people go to these invitations anyway. Unless you live close to it or are neet I can't imagine ever finding the time or money to go to one of these

I guess if you win they'll pay the trip ticket for you.

>fresh and unique
>like VR.

But I like VR so it's not a gimmick. See? Simple, isn't it?

>But I like VR so it's not a gimmick
That's exactly how it works, stupid. Gimmick is a derogatory term.

>nx will be their last console and after this they'll probably start making games for sony, or steam.
Same thing has been said literally since the N64

Except it isn't, but keep believing what you want.

Since the snes
Nintendo attracts doomsaying for some reason

>for some reason
Jealousy. Plain and simple.

Director's approval ratings

– Tatsumi Kimishima: 87.14% --> 92.60%
– Genyo Takeda: 95.26% --> 92.07%
– Shigeru Miyamoto: 95.26% --> 92.08%

– Naoki Mizutani: 95.15% --> 94.52%

So Kishima is here to stay? Wasn't he supposed to be just a one year long CEO?

He will stay forever user

No one dares to vote against him. Watch the approval rating go to 100% next year and the dissenters disappear

Yeah someone posted it already.

wii u with its library is definitely meh. but, if you guys hate it so much, just use loadiine to play their games for free.

But that's wrong. They're reversed.
