If Switch fails, say goodbye to handheld gaming

If Switch fails, say goodbye to handheld gaming

good riddance

goodbye

Mobile phone games will never amount to anything worthwhile. Handheld gaming will die without a comparable replacement.

ok bye then, see you in hell handhelds

If its the new pokemon and smash system, Sorry but people will buy it.

Even if the price is too high for normies, they will put money in and get it.

If there's enough demand for it, someone will supply it. The Free Market is coming back to life in a few weeks.

It's all trash and gaming on the go is just stupid

Good.

naw i think it still keep going or Nintendo mobile devices get ready for the 3ds samsung edge

>most innovative idea the industry has seen in 20 years
>fail
Fuck off Sonygger.

Switch costs
>$300: Dead in the water. No one but the hardcore fans will buy it, WiiU 2.0.
>$250: 3DS-launch tier bullshit. Won't sell very well until they drop the prices sub-200.
>$200: The ideal tier. People might buy it just for Pokemon / Smash etc.

sorry handheld games rape your sister but they arnt all bad sheesh edgy shitlords

Handhelds are the only thing worth getting nowadays, if they die, we're stuck with this shit for the rest of our lives.

I really just want all gaming to go handheld.

Vita showed me that console games could be done on handheld.

They're pretty abysmal

Just play on a computer

They're casuals, you can't blame them for not knowing any better.

Gaming belongs on PC anyway

>Say goodbye to handheld gaming in the west
Fixed that for you.

Handheld gaming is inherently worse and only for children and people who are obessed losers

2/10 Need samefag to enhance the bait.

hey bb dont forget about me hue

this, fucking get your shit together and realize nothing that can run on a battery is good enough for graphical rendering

I have no faith in you either.

...

They're more convienient than consoles but less convienient than a phone.

People who want full on console experiences get Consoles
People who are smart and want rewarding fidelity in performance and quality get PC
People who play games on the go have their phone on them.

3DS is rarer for people to play on the go and who the fuck plays that shit outside their own house?

I love handhelds but they're honestly dying.

Name one recent, must play handheld exclusive game. No weebshit

It's been possible since the Shield. People denying it at this point are just deluding themselves.

If the switch fails nintendo will just make a 3ds successor, now if that fails handheld game consoles may be kill.

Gaming is already practically dead, the Switch will fail unless the games are just revolutionary (they won't be), and the younger generations don't care about games for the same drawn-out reasons we do.

It's over. It's done. The only things that will get made now are fast and furious(ly shallow) games. Deal with it. Somehow.

It's not about graphics, it's just fucking inferior to play on a tiny piece of shit you hold in your hands and there are better things to do when you are on the go than play mario unless you are a total loser

good riddance, gaming is shit

I don't want more of muh old school nostalgia shit, neither the modern too expensive to risk it shit

>Sup Forums advocating for phone gaming

Fanboyism is one hell of a drug.

Gaming on the go as a whole is just stupid.

Define weebshit first and we'll go from there.

I'll catch a lot of shit for this, but mobile VR is the future of portable gaming.

It gives you a huge display, but in a small and easily portable form factor. That alone, even if you subtracted the stereo 3D and head tracking, would make it superior to something with a little postcard sized screen at best.

This divides the mass between your head and your hands instead of packing it all into a single unit, and you don't need to hold it in a way where you can comfortably see the screen, like with a 3DS.

Some games I've been enjoying:

Adventure Time: Magic Man's Head Games
Anshar 2
Bomb Squad
Castle Storm
Cityscape Repairman
Darknet
Dead Secret
Dragon Front
Dread Halls
Esper 2
Floor Plan
Fusion Wars
GrooVR
Herobound: Spirit Champion
Hypercade
Into the Dead
Micro Machines VR Racing
Minecraft
Neverout
Omega Agent
Smashing the Battle
Tactera
Twisted Realms
Vendetta Online
Wands

Gaming isn't dead, you're just realising that video games are a side dish for home computing enthusiasts, and too shallow as a hobby on its own.

It wont fail because it is a handheld.

It will also have Nintendos full attention, which will help a lot if third parties choose to avoid it, which was a problem since the N64.
After the SNES they kinda had to do the splits between their handhelds and home consoles, which resulted in their home consoles not even getting too any Nintendo games because they had to supply their gameboys too.

Now its Pokemon, Smash and Mario Kart on one device that can both be carried around and used as a multiplayer thing.
I cant imagine it failing. Will sell at least as much as the 3DS unless something goes REALLY wrong like a 600$ price tag or exploding devices.

There's always been some sort of demand for it, obviously there's a point to it for many. You may not see the reason, but that doesn't mean it's pointless.

All genres are done to death, even the shit that used to be popular, there's nothing for them to latch on to and the only good shit are some rare unique experiences which you can't consistently make

Yeah and mobile gaming is fine and the future for waiting on the bus stop etc,

lol go to bed kid

Yeah candy crush attention taking time killers for the five minutes you wait in a queue.

>using a device that shuts you out from the outside world while on the move
Ignoring that this is a surefire way to miss train stops and getting robbed

>mobile gaming

Stale cookie cutter JRPG / dungeon crawler / dating sim time sink shit and bad action games like Monster Hunter

I live in Oregon. The last time I saw a black guy was over a decade ago.

I mean, if you are this casual then good for you.
Your garbage wont go away anytime soon because there's other idiots like you.

Thankfully there's an audience that prefers something better and is willing to pay for it too.

I didn't realize Sup Forums was full of normalfag phonetards.

If Switch fails, say goodbye to Exodia

I don't play on the go at all. there's no reason to specifically go out on the go only to play games, yes I don't let games get in the way of my life.

If you think that people go out to play games specifically then you're even more retarded than expected.

I have a Shield K1 tablet with a Bluetooth controller. It's the only way to play while out. Your proprietary Nintendo shit has no future.

Reminder:

Phone gaming isn't inherently bad.
And some franchises are overdue for some modernization and speeding up.

That is all.

Yes and so are dedicated gaming handheld consoles.

Even if the Switch succeeds, it will be the end of portable gaming as as we know it.

wew

>Switch
>a handheld in the same line as 3DS
if Switch fails it'll be another piss poor console from Nintendo while the DS line continues on

Fpbp

No one gives a fuck about handhelds besides Nips because they play them on the trains before going to work for 12 hours for little to no pay.

>isn't inherently bad
Yes it is. There's not a single game that controls better on a phone than any other control method. I'd sooner use exclusively Guitar Hero controllers than an iPhone.

>for little to no pay.

They're paid great. The problem is everything in Japan is expensive.

I'll never understand why people prefer handhelds over console
I've played through a lot of MH3U on a 3DS and a Wii U and it was way way way better on the home console

I have to play mario right now on this bench outside, I have to play mario at the work, I have to play mario on the beach

Phones support normal controllers.

The point is to play on publish transportation, during lunch breaks, on a plane flight, on a roadtrip, etc.

I get great use out of handhelds.

I use a PS3 controller, in lieu of a new controller that's any fucking good.

It will just mean that future handhelds will have a proper TV out option, which is REALLY fucking overdue anyways.
Nintendo experimented with it with the Super Gameboy and Sony actually got something right once with the PSP, but somehow it hasnt been standard yet.


Also I gotta say the US SNES is the ugliest fucking piece of shit. Even the Super Gameboy got hit with the ugly stick.

Mister your games can wait, now focus on some other things instead.

Most people prefer handhelds because thats where all the good games have gone with consoles getting taken over by cinematic AAA garbage.
In the west they are fully carried by their exclusives like Pokemon and Animal Crossing.

Outside of that they still have their advantages. I travel a lot and at work I actually get to play. Cant bring my consoles so a handheld is nice.

It has 32gb of internal storage and can be expanded with a 128gb micro sd card.

It is DOA for console games, not bad for handheld and mobile games.

It will do everything half assed instead of doing one thing great so it is destined to fail unless it somehow gains Wii like fanaticism.

If you look at the screen it is matte, that means it is the same shitty touchscreen as the 3ds instead of a multitouch screen like a normal tablet.

Switch is Frankenstein's monster created by committee.

Tablet with a mini HDMI port

It's hard to comprehend how you handheld folk insist on this shit company and its shit hardware solutions when far better alternatives are all around you

I'm on the fucking train, what should I focus on? Looking out of the window like all the other bored retards?

>pokemon
>animal crossing

Just another bunch of games that are done to death

We actually like videogames.

Read a book. Text your mom if you have no one else. Listen to music.

People seem to disagree.

Boy you mobile niggers are pretty fucking selfish.
You act like babies.

>mobile gaming is de-

Like hell you do. If you did, you'd immediately understand why companies like Nintendo and their special snowflake platforms are bad for game development.

Why should I do that when I can play a game I like

You are a loser if you really spend all your free time on games.

I do though. They certainly seem to be a better platform for game development than your tablet companies, just looking at the games.

Mobile gaming is trash as a whole. Also those two particular games are done to death.

lmao

But phones are everywhere. No one needs a switch or a 3ds. Only nintendofags want them. Switch's gimmick is pretty retarded. There are plenty of pc games that have handheld versions where you can play using the same "save".

>people ditching cell phones

Agreed, because its not like Sony can help handheld gaming.

People seem to disagree.
And yeah, good thing handheld gaming isnt mobile gaming.

>>If the switch fails Nintendo will die
There I fixed that for you OP

>Wearing a gigantic display on your head
>"future of portable gaming"

Not even in the slightest.

correction: say goodbye to nintendo

The only people who have time for gaming outside home are kids and peasants who use public transportation

Prove me wrong

>Implying Sony is going to get into the handheld market again after how much of a blunder the Vita was

Handheld gaming is for children and people who have to spend all their time playing games by the way.

Shit done to death games sell.

lmao

This fucking thread.

Stop samefagging it's obvious with you lmao/true/lol tier shit.

I mean they might. But they should probably let things cool down for one gen and actually think about what they actually did there, because it was a huge fuckup.

i go where there games are, if steam ever got an official release of Pokemon, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Smash Bros etc, then I wouldn't need own any of their hand held's.

Not gonna happen

>samefag calling others samefag
lmayo

What the fuck, why are there (You)s again
