How do you feel about Nintendo after the Wii U scam?
Nintendo were stupid enough to release a console that close to the end of the generations cycle with specs from that generation. Unfortunately they made the same mistake with the Switch but hopefully they make some first party games, I just want a new F-Zero and Metroid.
Robert Hall
They fell into the same trap Sony and Microsoft did. I think the Switch redeemed them by showing that they know they fucked up and it won't happen again.
Kayden Lopez
Why didn't Reggie listen to Geoff?
He was only trying to help him.
Oliver Lewis
Why do you keep spamming this?

This is the first time i made this thread.

>they know they fucked up and it won't happen again. So that's why switch still doesn't get port of multiplatform games?
>some word is same, everything else different Clearly that's not me. Don't let fanboyism cloud your mind.
Parker Lewis
It was not a scam, it was arrogance
Brayden Fisher
So, now that they get btfo by the switch, the ponies try to attack the wiiu ?
That's pretty transparent and weak.
Bentley Taylor
>attack Can't you talk without being an autistic fanboy? wiiu was horrible and nothing wrong complaint about it.

I think Nintendo partially understood that for a Nintendo console to do well, it needs lots of Nintendo games since they've been shit with third parties. To this goal, it makes sense to consolidate efforts towards a single piece of hardware instead of divided between handheld and home.
However the Switch is still pretty dumb and probably not the best idea to facilitate this single hardware plan, at least at the price they're asking. If the 3DS dropped $80 over night after 3 months, perhaps the Switch will too, and if it were $219.99 then maybe we'll be talking. Sub-$200 is preferable, especially given the Nvidia devices that are $199 and either have better hardware or the same hardware with the same plus more functionality as a Switch.
It's difficult to determine if Nintendo made the Switch because they didn't want to admit they have no dog in the high-spec console race while becoming less of a force in the industry and whether we'll ever see an actual set-top box Nintendo console ever again - or if they truly, legitimately, honestly and wholeheartedly believe that they're pioneering something here.
Time will tell. A significantly cheaper price will tell it better.
As a person who has little interest in waggle and hd rumble and local splitscreen multiplayer on a tiny screen, I'd sooner by a condensed version of the Switch at a cheaper entry point than even the already potentially reduced future price of the standard model, with the condensed iteration having the controls built directly into the pad itself.
If Nintendo would rather just make bank on literal retards and keep the price too high though, well good luck. Being the first to the market with a Vulkan-ready console doesn't mean there wont be Vulkan-ready consoles in the future with exponentially better hardware and more competitively priced.

Or maybe they made the switch because their handhelds always so well
Instead of your wall of autism
Asher Fisher
They tried to make lightning strike twice on name alone. It didn't work.
Nolan Smith
Their handhelds have sold well because they were cheaper than the competition. 3DS sold like horseshit til they dropped the price. That fuckin' thing launched at $249.99
There's still no significant proof that the Switch isn't selling primarily to people who owned and are upgrading from Wii U's. It certainly doesn't have the driving force of quality or quantity in software to push it this well otherwise.
Parker Sullivan
Except now there is 0 competiton from handhelds >it-it's just Wii U owners upgrading! Sure buddy
Nathaniel Wilson
rad deflection m8. Chastise others for allegedly being autistic only to pronounce your own autism in the process.
Aaron Price
Is skyrim port on switch have release date? Why is it doesn't get new Darksider port?
Ian Roberts
There is no Skyrim release date because it was never officially announced. They showed it as a "what if" because they didn't have jack shit planned.

And despite all of this, the Wii U was still the best console of its generation.
Where did it all go wrong?
Eli Sanders
Because darksiders have just been revealed. They probably don't even have a switch devkit yet. I see no reason why it won't be on the switch when it was on the fucking Wii U
the fuck you talking about. The Xbox 360 and PS3 were way better nigger.
Cameron Hernandez
>muh splatoon and mario
Grayson Jones
The Wii was bigger than both.
>t-they don't count!
Oliver Rogers
And Skyrim-man just allowed his beloved creation being used in nintendo money making scheme like that? yeah right
Camden Nguyen
>the Wii U was still the best console of its generation.
Bentley Harris
wii was competing against the original Xbox and the fucking PS2 long after both had virtually ceased production.
the fuck kind of argument is that. >last place is basically like first place but everyone is so far behind you they don't even matter!
Levi Sanders
>Geoff Who?
Elijah Thompson
This. Wii is 6th gen, WiiU is 7th gen, and Switch isn't even a console, it's a portable microconsole like the Nvidia Shield or Ouya. Nintendo has left the console race, it's only Microsoft and Sony, and if the Scorpio doesn't sell well Sony will have a monopoly.
Isaac Stewart
Given sales numbers on BotW for Switch, I would be shocked if that was all people upgrading from Wii Us. According to some figures Nintendo released last month the majority of people buying a Switch are getting BotW with it, to the point that it's outsold the Wii U version roughly 2:1. Why would Wii U owners be shelling out for a Switch just to play a game they already can?
Nathaniel Murphy
I'd feel better about it if they didn't engage in artificial scarcity so I could actually fucking buy one.
Carson Bell
Slimy son of a bitch probably did.
Just for that, I'm going to go pirate Fallout 4. I'm not even interested in the game.
Carter Bell
>Artificial They didn't want another Wii U, so they initially geared up for a low production run. Then everybody decided they want one. They stand to gain little by not having enough units to give to people throwing money at them.
James Barnes
no my mistake, the nintendo Bitch actually gets a 5 year old game sounds about right kek
Oliver White
Even better. It's a 5 year old Bethesda game, meaning it'll be bugged to shit and they won't be able to fall back on Arthmoor's unofficial patches.
Brayden Moore
It's OK. Because of the risk they took with hardware which didn't pay off, they took fewer risks with games. >ports of classic 3D Zeldas >least 3D 3D Mario >2 NSMB >No Metroid, F-Zero >Simple, friendly Mario Kart >Nostalgia pandering Starfox+DKC
