They also said the DS wouldn't replace the Gameboy Advance.

How'd that work out?

they say this as the Switch is their "third pillar", which basically means it's a shot in the dark designed to exist aside their existing platforms, such that if it flops it won't have much of an impact to them. If it succeeds, though, it'll take over as their primary platform (just like what happened with the DS, which they also considered risky at the time).

What a surprise!
A multi billion dollar company not telling the truth!
Nintendo is no different than Microsoft or Sony. Don't get why Nintendo fags seem to think they are.

THIRD

it is the truth, it just doesn't mean what you think it means - they say it mostly to appease investors and business partners. See

>they're already this terrified it's going to fucking flop
2017 is going to be such a spectacular year

>Iwata, May 2015: I'm getting better
>2 months later, dead
WOW FUCKING LIAR, NINTENDO SUCKS

Obvious lie, they're saying that to cover their asses Incase the Switch fails and they can fall back on them.

Now I legit hope it flops hard.

They do this every generation, this isn't new.

if it succeeds, it'll be their new primary platform.
if it flops, they'll continue the 3DS and probably come up with something new to replace the Wii U.

Just like the DS with the Gamecube and the Gameboy

>if it flops, they'll continue the 3DS and probably come up with something new to replace the Wii U.
They wouldn't survive long enough to try that.
They just don't want to disrupt sales of the Wii U and 3DS. It's kind of slimy.

Nintendo lied, oh no! Who really cares the Wii U is dead? Did anyone really believe they'd continue producing games for the Wii U with the Switch around the corner? With how sparse the releases have been?

>They wouldn't survive long enough to try that.
Can you stop act like Nintendo is flat broke?

>people still believe Nintendo lies
>people still believe any company lies

And then you faggots wonder "what went wrong?"

It's not about them being broke, it's about support for them declining.

They said that about the 3ds no replacing the gba

They say it to not scare customers that have bought, wiiu and 3ds
and also if switch fails they can say "it was never ment to be our next big thing anyway"

but the 3DS has decent support

Is Nintendo the DarkSydePhil of videogame companies?

GBA was still getting games in 2006 you retard

>"please don't be smart and stop buying our current products"

NS can't replace 3DS directly but it will replace Wii U.

>won't replace the Wii-U
>production of Wii-U's ends in a matter of days

They're not even trying.

>it's about support for them declining.
If that were true, then Bethesda wouldn't have agreed to be a part of their commercial for their new platform.

If anything Nintendo is a growing influence what with their Universal Studios deal coming into fruition in the near future and Pokemania back in full force.

If they do find 3D animators to work on feature-length Nintendo movies they'll definitely be bringing their influence back into the minds of many people again.

That means nothing. Pic related was also released on the PS4 at the same time.

Look at the date of the article in the above dingus.

>6 months ago

NINTENDO

THE HAPPY GO LUCKY FRIENDLY PLUMBER COMPANY

CAN NEVER DO ANY WRONG

BUT THEY FUCKING CAN

AND THEY FUCKING HAVE

THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS

THEY DO NOT LOVE YOU

THEY LOVE YOUR MONEY

>Did anyone really believe
most of nintendogaf

>implying the decided to cancel the production of Wii-U's last week

Decisions like that are done months in advance you idiot.

It was still receiving FIRST PARTY support in 2006.

Hence why I cited it.

Your post implied they decided it in days.

>4DS, Wii-U 2, and Switch all on the market

not happenign

They arent supporting the Wii U NOW, why would they support it after the Switch?

Well that's bullshit. The NX is both a handheld and console. Just like the DS did to the GBA, the 3DS and WiiU are out the door.

WII U WII U WII U IWATA IS DEAD

>Did Nintendo just Lied?

Fuck off spic

Nintendo marketing logic.
Switch doesn't replace the 2 screen console (3DS) nor the dedicated home console (Wii U)

NINTENDO CLAIMED DS WOULD BE A "3RD PILLAR" ALONGSIDE GAMEBOY & CONSOLE
WOULD NOT REPLACE EITHER

END OF DISCUSSION

>Thirdpillar

The Switch was always going to kill off the Wii U.

The bigger question is if the Switch will also replace the 3DS. I mean why not. If they're worried about the price point they could always just introduce a less powerful model at a lower price point, call it the Switch mini or something.

the Wii U is absolutely dead and replaced by the Switch
the real question is how long they'll support the 3ds
they might kill it off, they might give it some life support for a year or two

youtube.com/watch?v=0Yry7_Ut7Zg

This happened

I think there was an article recently saying they had plans to support the 3DS through the end of 2017.

So far there seems to be fuck all coming down the line for 3DS after this year.

>DS introduced
>existed side by side with the gameboy
>DS sold a lot
>gameboy got a micro remodel then discontinued

At the moment, Switch is a market experiment. If it sells well, you're sure to find the either the 3DS and/or the WiiU line discontinued.

the wii u line is already discontinued
now question is whether they actually have any intention of keeping 3DS alive if the switch doesn't sell well, or if they're just going all in on the switch and only doing the 3rd pillar routine so as not to poison the twilight year of 3ds sales

It's not replacing the Wii U or the 3DS.

It's replacing the Wii U AND the 3DS.

The 3D fad died a long time ago.

It's for certain that the 3DS will be replaced by the Switch. They'll wait until the Switch gets a significant installed base and dump 1st party titles on it.

Whoa, Nintendo lying again!?

THIRD PILLAR XD

>Nintendo being lying scumbag pieces of shit who are too coward to commit to anything and want an easy way out if NX flops

wowee, it's almost as if this shitty company has no morals or something.

and what about 2007 onwards, idiot?

They said that when the DS came out and again when the 3DS came out

Oh wow one year after it came out the a complete cut off

did you even read my post?

Hard to think it won't replace Wii U when it will be getting all the new games and Wii U won't. Why do these fucks lie like this?

>Wii u production is ceasing this week
>Game development for the system is essentially over
>It's not replacing the wii u we swear!

>i hope the only console manufacturer who legitimately cares about games flops
>i hope one of the greatest innovators in video games goes bankrupt

This is what Nintendo always says about new hardware. Nothing is ever "meant" to replace anything, it just happens organically as the market dictates. Not really sure why they think this kind of deception is necessary, since every other company that produces hardware of any kind just says "yeah, this is the new one. That old one you bought is junk now. Buy this new one".

>This is what Nintendo always says about new hardware.
Not the GCN and Wii. Hell even the Wii U was designed to replace the Wii

>Not really sure why they think this kind of deception is necessary

It isn't deception. Nintendo has brought out systems that didn't replace old ones due to inherent risk before. The Virtual Boy didn't replace the Game Boy.

They lie about hardware all the time.

It's just their nature.

>There's no plans for any 3ds hardware revision, at all
>3ds XL announced 2 weeks later

VB isn't portable. It couldn't replace the Gameboy

If they were stopping any production of gameboys prior to the virtual boy and all their games going forward were going to be virtual boy games, sure.

This is blatantly replacing the wii u, though.

...

They're saying this because they're trying to salvage Christmas sales for 3DS and Wii U and they're hoping idiots will see this and believe it. It isn't even a risk mitigation feature. They can't stick to Wii U and they know it.

Nothing to see here, folks. The holiday season is upon us and Nintendo isn't shipping new hardware until spring. Of course they're going to tell people they are still supporting Wii U and 3DS, because those are the things that are in stores right now, and Nintendo wants to sell the things that are in stores.

The Switch flopping would cost them a cool billion though.

How big is Nintendo's warchest these days?

>How big is Nintendo's warchest these days?
huge

And this shit is why I don't believe anything anyone says about Nintendo anymore; it's literally all just lies, rumors, and hearsay. Hell, for all I know the Switch isn't even real either and that it's just a giant ARG where everyone in the world is in on the joke except me.

Yes they are replacing them, Wii U is dead, 3DS is on its way out next year.

>porn
>morals
ebin

>Nintendo
>multi billion dollar company

TOP KEK. Sony is a multi billion dollar company, Nintendo is babby shit that worth nothing since producing things for kids never made anyone rich. Appealing to adults is where the big money lies

You are a huge fanboy faggot.

Companies don't live off losing money and spending their saved money to stay afloat. This is not the purpose of a business.

no shit, but they're comfortable taking risks is my point.

they are a bunch of hacks now

fuck you shill

>Before Switch Launch
>Nintendo: Shit we fucked up with out last console, better not make the same mistake we always do
>After Switch launch
>Nintendo: Oh shit we fucked up the Switch, better milk our loyal fan base with shovelware while we develop our next console

...

I hope so, because they're in for a long game for it to pay off.

>release switch
>get 2 years worth of games for it
>release dedicated handheld that plays switch games
>build an actual back catalog because lack of backward compatibility with 3ds/wiiU
>release dedicated console on the same platform with a more powerful chip
>profit

>Did Nintendo just Lied?

GEE WHIZ

I hate how nintendo drops their consoles even before they release their next one
It even happened with the Wii, the most successful console of the generation. They stopped caring about it around 2010.

Nintendo?

Lying?

Surely you jest!

If you want to play a system for tiddies just play the PC version you cuck. That, Or crack your system to play the JP version.

Monster hunters xx in March....

This is a good thing. The Wii U was a mistake. Nobody liked its gimmick and even Nintendo didn't know what the fuck to do with that stupid controller. They thought, "Just slap the Wii name on it and people will buy it!" It was just hubris and a lack of insight into why people liked the Wii in the first place. News flash, nobody wants to look at down at a blurry ass, desaturated, shitty screen when they have a perfectly good TV they could be using right now but they can't because the important things are down on this crap screen. Fuck the Wii U

this, nintendo is one of the last great vidya developers. Bet you shitheads wanted Sega to fail and become the shell of a company it is today. Nintendo failing would be nothing but bad for gaming.

This.

>go in gamestop
>whoa madam, don't buy that wiiu or 3ds for your son. It's been discontinued. The switch is coming out in 2017z
>tips hat

...

So can we finally stop pretending the NS it's a 3rd pillar and admit it's gonna be the best console ever with both the portable and home library mixed into one?

Will we see Mon Hun xxx after that, with a drastic gameplay turn to appeal to scalies?

Nobody ever claimed it wasn't replacing the Wii U, fucking kill yourself. The words you're mis-referencing are "we're not building the next version of Wii U."

Yeah, fuck Nintendo!

I can confirm this. My dad works for Playstation.

I think he was talking about nintendo.

I BETTER GET SOME TRADE IN DEAL FOR THIS SHIT CONSOLE. I JUST BOUGHT A WII U A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. REEEEEEE

The Virtual Boy was a move against the playstation, because Nintendo was very late with the N64 and the SNES had stalled. Remember how it launched two years after Sony's console.

It was never meant to replace the gameboy.

They said the DS wasn't replacing the Game Boy line either.

Treating it like an experiment and not fully backing sounds like a good way to kill your console at birth. Consoles are probably most likely to fail in they're first year if they don't get enough support aka games.

They're lying about it about not replacing the Wii U, 3DS is still in the air.
