>Meanwhile, Koizumi reinforced that Nintendo Switch is a hybrid console. He sees the system as merging together the company's previously separated portable and home segments.
>"...Whereas previously, you would play certain things on your home system and certain things on your handheld. Our hope is that Nintendo Switch can be the system that bridges both of those and becomes the constant system that you're always using," Koizumi said.
Healthy library confirmed. Even if somehow every third party developer that ignored the wii u for the 3ds didn't move over to the Switch, you'd still have Nintendo's combined efforts finally packed into one machine instead of two.
Didn't the president just say that they might make a 3DS successor?
Matthew Harris
Shame that like the DS, all the games on it will suck with a couple of exceptions, which won't even release internationally
Jaxson Smith
they're going to kill the switch the same way they did the wii u, releasing everything you'd want on the 3ds.
Colton Clark
they said they'd consider it in the future. You know it takes them like 2-3 years to finalize hardware, right? And they're only just now considering it as Switch goes gold
Ian Foster
It will all depend on if the Switch fails
If the Switch succeeds, it's the unified home+handheld library every drone has wetdreams about
If the Switch fails, they roll out the 4DS and pretend the Switch never happened just like they did the Wii U
Jeremiah Hill
because thats milking the shitty awakening engine for another waifu round
Lincoln Green
When people talk about how Nintendo needs third parts, they always think of the big AAA studios, but Nintendo would be better off to go after smaller devs like those that suppourted the DS and 3DS.
Leo Gomez
yep, that would make owning a switch and a pc the ultimate package
third party development of every kind
Elijah Watson
>owning a switch and a pc the ultimate package Normies don't think like this though They want one machine that does it all
No one can pick Nintendo as their one machine in this day and age. It's relegated to a companion console for playing Nintendo games, which is why it doesn't get 3rd party support. They don't sell.
Joshua Cruz
He said that the 3DS can coexist with the Switch as an entry level handheld for young children because of it's lower price and cheaper games.
>Are you tossing away a 60 million strong user base? >No we are not
That's it, just some investor talk. We're not going to see a 4DS.
Grayson Martinez
It was a translation error, look it up
Jaxson Cruz
plenty of females made ds lite their single console and most normies arent even master race
Camden Garcia
>plenty of females made ds lite their single console Yes, before the iPhone existed
>and most normies arent even master race Yes, and they are PS or Xbox. Again, if you're only going to have 1 video game machine, you're missing out on 95% of games.
Hunter Sanchez
no, during the iphones existence, nintendo still attracted an assfuck ton of casual gamers with brain age, nintendogs, animal crossing wild world, cooking mama and rhythm heaven
Christopher Long
>nintendogs, animal crossing wild world The iPhone didn't exist in 2005 when these games came out
Ethan Nelson
next you'll tell me nsmb didn't sell after its launch year
Dylan Young
that's great but when the fuck are they going to talk about the virtual console? surely they're not putting it on after release?
no gamecube games no buy
Kevin Smith
>paying for ROMs
Caleb Brooks
>not buying a switch if there's not gamecube games
just buy an actual gamecube if you care that much
Gavin Ross
don't reply to me
James Jackson
>waste more money than you should need to!
sounds great, I'd love to pay $70 for melee
Daniel Sullivan
emulate it or get a Wii U and hack it, takes like 2 hours
Sebastian Cruz
because they have to support the 3ds for another year at least, or the 60 million people who own one will whine.
and you're getting a fe musou and mainline game on the switch you ungrateful fuck
Christian Parker
No region lock, user
Jacob Phillips
just confirm monster hunter V on switch an you golden, goddammit nintendo
John Moore
desu, the switch just needs the support of major third party nip devs and all the devs making games for the vita/3ds now.
Dominic Hughes
Forbes just BLEW the FUCK out of Sonyggers. Absolutely beautiful.
>"Sony fans are not happy with the warm reception that the Nintendo Switch is receiving. They have made their voices heard all over the internet and their desperation has come through in some incredibly embarrassing ways."
>"In the same way that Trump was ridiculed and derided prior to his election as president of the United States, The Switch has found its most vehement detractors in those who are afraid of change."
>"When a paradigm shift occurs, when the wheel begins to turn - it is often those on the wrong end who make the loudest racket."
>"Initial forecasts anticipate that the Nintendo Switch will place the Japanese company back into the spotlight and, at the very least, loosen Sony's grip on the market."
>"The whole truth will only out when the Switch launches on the 3rd of March, but until then, keep your eyes peeled for the shrieks and shudders that continue to emanate from Sony's side of the pitch."
Brandon Hughes
So they basically admitted to making a jack-of-all-trades system that doesn't even meet THAT standard. Nice going Nintendo, call me when it costs $200 or less.
Hunter Bennett
>nintendo is gonna deploy another wii u fallout again on nintendo fans its like you dont want to learn from the past you re getting more cucked than pcfriends
>Healthy library confirmed. Why are there no games then?
Cooper Ramirez
>you'd still have Nintendo's combined efforts finally packed into one machine instead of two. The issue is, Nintendo slacks on both pretty often and produces fucking awful games like Federation force, Pikmin 3DS and Mario Party Wii U.
I dont see how this will help since third parties already dont give a shit and are only doing old ass ports.
Elijah Howard
How does that imply out will have a big library? Or are you reading too hard between lines?
Mason Morris
Forbes
Luke White
Probably cuz it's suicide to release all the games at once.
Daniel Gutierrez
maybe if you weren't an underaged faggot you would have got it for christmas in 2001 like I did.
Jeremiah Davis
>Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, Fire Emblem, 2 new IPs, for first year
sounds good to me. Third party snowballs once nintendo's handheld support comes through.
Name one nintendo handheld with a poor library.
Jacob Gray
With the massive size and lack of battery life of the switch it's not much different to get a decent notebook and use dolphin if you want melee while traveling.
Jacob Morgan
How can anyone stand Mario Kart at this point? It's the exact same game for the last twenty years with slightly upgraded graphics for each generation.
Evan Taylor
No, that's just a poor release schedule
One game, a fucking Mario game, and it isn't even releasing close to launch. They had this exact pattern with the Wii U.
Ethan Baker
it's a good drinking game in both modes. Don't tell me you're a faggot with no friends.
Austin Peterson
>7 games >"One game."
okay.
Dominic Mitchell
It's literally the exact same game with added DLC on the Switch.
Kayden Roberts
>7 games No. Ports and one game.
John Martin
Yeah but I can just get a Wii or a WiiU out and have the almost exact same experience. I just don't see how the rehashes are supposed to drive a console; at some point you simply have to come up with something different.
Julian Bell
Objectively incorrect.
Christian Robinson
Nobody bought a Wii U and who the fuck actually STILL gets out the wii unless you're at some smash autism tournament? Nobody wants to fuck with wiimotes and straps and nunchucks anymore, that is dated-ass fucking technology that doesn't even use HDMI, get that shit out of my face, what a horrendous argument. How retarded do you have to be serisously? Are you going to ask me why COD sold so much as well?
Eli Wright
I dunno if you knew this or not, but people can't afford buying like 10 games in a single month. Most console gamers who aren't just FIFA/CoD shitters are older people also, so they don't have as much time to play video games.
There is no benefit in releasing a ton of games at once. It's much better to release games as a trickle. Like say 1 big game a month and maybe some smaller games to pad it.
Michael Adams
If you think it's ok for a company of this size and with this much money at their disposal to not come up with a single original idea to launch a new console generation then whatever. Buy Mario Kart for the 15th time.
Aiden Edwards
except the new 3ds FE, is the exact opposite of otaku prandering, i.e. low sales.
Joshua Perry
Literally every publisher and console vendor does that. Microsoft is an even bigger console vendor and they do it as well. So clearly having a lot of money doesn't help with original ideas.
Luis Perry
Nintendo is throwing several original ideas at the Switch. Have fun being jaded and naive. I'm sure you and all the soccer moms will continue to love your unupdated wiis with missing batteries and no online support.
Jacob Harris
I haven't personally owned a Nintendo system since the N64, so this is really not of a whole lof of importance to me.
Jaxon Scott
Well fuck, can i get a version of the switch that comfortably fits in my pocket?
Jason Ross
If even half of the devs making 3DS and Vita games jump to the Switch it'll have a decent library eventually Launch lineup looks pretty weak still though, I'm gonna wait for a price drop
Owen Sanders
just take off the joycons and don't wear skinny jeans
or better yet get a pouch you fucking animal take care of your hardware, we're going to get enough people bitching about dropping it as it is
I bet you don't even use screen protectors
Easton Jenkins
>Healthy library confirmed. I'm legitimately happy to hear that. I want Ninty to do well. Now fucking show me, because of what they have coming out, I only see two games I would buy on day 1, and there is almost certainly a year between their release dates. Hurry up and confirm Mon Hun and Pokemon already.
Julian Kelly
Don't know how the pouch will help make it fit in my pocket better unless you want me to get a purse like some kind of faggot.
Logan Price
carry a shoulder bag pkmn style. Some laptop bag or some shit.
Owen Cox
Sounds like you are telling me to get a purse. Switch still sounds very unappealing as a portable handheld. Hope they do a real follow-up to the 3ds.
Xavier Hall
>putting your shit in pockets
disgusting. I bet you complain about Nintendo's R and L buttons as well.
Kayden Parker
>waifu round
don't let the artstyle fool you
Gaiden is the most anti-modern FE game you'll ever play. Which means it will probably tank and we'll get a port of Geneology.
Lucas Hernandez
>Name one nintendo handheld with a poor library. That's the problem, the Switch is not a handheld
Logan Watson
It's not there.
Jaxon Ramirez
What the fuck are you talking about? How does that justify one worthwhile game across several months?
Ryder Bell
It doesn't justify anything. I'm just saying it's retarded to release more than 1 big game per month, I don't know if they have anything lined up for subsequent months but that's irrelevant because the argument is over launch lineup.
Maybe they'll have a several month game drought and their console will fail, who knows.
