>Pokemon coming next year
Probably a while

You're retarded if you think it's coming next year. Pokemon and Metroid were the only two games in their conference that didn't have a date.

5 minutes

It's pretty durable so I'd say around at least 20 years.

This will be Nintendo's shared ecosystem for a long while. They're happy with how expensive games are to develop at these levels of graphical fidelity, so any upgrades that come around will be fully backwards compatible.

>Fifa is just a diet version of the full game
>Skyrim is lip service until Bethesda sticks to releasing games on other platforms
>Capcom gaugeing switch interest based on the sales of a marked up XBLA release. Monster Hunter is just a 3DS port while the real sequel goes to PS4
>Atlus still hanging around the 3DS
The same shit we've been putting up with since the N64. Nintendo will never learn.

It'll be the end of next year, in the spot where Pokemon games are usually released. You're retarded if you think they're going to skip another year again.

Nintendo is fine.

Seriously, it's hilarious how everyone is a business expert every time that Nintendo does something and people keep saying "oh this is it! THIS is the time that Nintendo really screwed up! They'll never learn!"

Maybe if they ever finish counting their money they'll have time to listen to your opinion.

If it becomes the unified nintendo console, it will be fine. If nintendo tries to release a handheld that is separate from it, both will crater hard. Nintendo can (barely) justify one console at this point, not two. In my opinion, they should focus on making the Switch smaller, making it a real handheld that can also be played on TV.

Literally almost all of Nintendo's history in video games is people telling them they are screwing up. This goes backs all the way to the NES when everybody was seriously questioning why the fuck would you release a console after the crash.

>if you think they're going to skip another year again
Not the same user, but when exactly did they skip a year?

I bought a switch a month or two ago, I love it. Half way through Zelda ( always drop games and come back later to them ) but after e3 I am mostly happy with my purchase.

I really hope this will be a new golden age for Nintendo.
Zelda and Mario definitely seem to be top notch again.

If the Wii U lasted five years then the Switch is guaranteed at least that much.

>why the fuck would you release a console after the crash
>after the crash
You're retarded

Between XY and ORAS I think.

remember how the n64 released every snes game in 3d and added 64 at the end?

thats how long,it's basically the wii u is what vista was for microsoft.

it's flashy and hype now because it's new, then holiday season kicks in and it will have more hype for better games. It'll proabably be a 2-3 year console with an additional 2 years (5) total while we wait for other games to come out.

in the meanwhile, new playstation will be announced, along with x box.

Nintendo's overall strat is not to release within or before or after for a year or 2 of when PlayStation announces anything, they can't compete sale wise.

If ps4 came out this year, how well would the switch have done? Not well honestly.

They can get by on X box because x box fucked themselves this launch much like ps3 fucked itself during it's own launch. and X box doesn't sell well outside of the american market. The only threat to nintendo is launching a new system to close to a new playstation, or a new console that turns out to be a sleeper.

>Video game crash in 1983
>NES NA release in 1985
You got your timeline screwed there or something?

Actually it was 2015. Usually skip years have a mystery dungeon in them.

user, who do you think ended the crash in the first place?

Around 3 years.
It's basically the Wii U. Once the ports run out, so will all its momentum, including game releases.
It will end up having 6-8 "worthwhile" games and never really be worth owning.

With Pokemon releasing on it, a long time.

>Pokemon
>Inevitably Animal Crossing
>Inevitably Smash
Long time

user, ports and game releases are the same thing

>what was the 64

when most devs preferred the cd for its media due to the versatility

>what was Gamecube who also did not learn from the Dreamcast

When everyone was hyped DVD space, and the medium it was becoming overall too. The new player on the block X box did it, but then again how were those game cube sales in comparison to PlayStation 2?


>What was the Wii u

we can stop and say nothing, just saying the Wii u a system my pregnant wife lets the twins play frisbee with says enough on it's relevance.

the 64 and wii are the only thing remarkably decent they have done in the last 20 years not counting handhelds.

>Both positions will be done in contract fashion and will last until May 2018 at the longest.

Modeling work for the games ends in May 2018 or earlier and Pokémon always releases in the fall, they're not going to take a year and a half to wrap up development.

You're misinterpreting what I am saying. Nintendo prior to the NES's release was consistently berated on by US distributors. Nobody would sell the thing due to the effects of the 1983 crash. I don't know why saying "after the crash" is such a point of contingency here.

commodore 64

They couldn't have really released the NES AFTER the crash when the NES release was the one who ENDED the crash

Are you having a stroke?

Okay so you're just arguing semantics

5-8 years as a handheld

>Pokemon and Metroid were the only two games in their conference that didn't have a date.
during their spotlight, the guy from GameFreak said, it will come next year

The problem with The Switch is the same problem that every Nintendo system has. It only appeals to people who are already invested in The Nintendo brand.

Like they rush into these new console cycles the moment they cold feet about their previous console. This is plainly evident by the fact that they insist on brining out consoles with terrible initial line ups.

Look at the Switch right now for a perfect example.
>Uh, yeah, here's this new thing With Zelda and Splatoon... And Mario is out at the end of the year!
And that's pretty much it. Like what else worthwhile is coming that's NOT a port? It's a fucking joke.

Then they have the absolute balls to announce 2 games that are coming at some point (no one knows when). But who can blame them when the fanbase are such well trained dick suckers, that this is a net positive?

>HOLY SHIT! METROID IS COMING EVENTUALLY, NINTENDO WINS
>But what happens until then?
>METROID!!!!

Fuck this entire industry.

>they insist on brining out consoles with terrible initial line ups
Isn't that true for pretty much every console?

No system that has mainline Pokemon has flopped

GB

GBC

GBA

DS

3DS

All sold a minimum of 65 million.

3ds will be closer to 75 million. When it's all over.

So all sold a minimum of 75 million

So switch won't flop

Pokemon will come next year

Metroid I dunno

This. 80 million overall.

This is the first Nintendo console I've bought since the Gameboy color, and I got it mostly for Arms and Splatoon, neither of which is a legacy franchise

the switch is the only nintendo console i've bought though, i mainly played the playstations and pc

Well, I'm not invested in the brand in the sense that I fucking love everything Nintendo shits out. I barely play their games.
I have a 3DS and my most played games are third party stuff released by ATLUS or Aksys. I hope that the Switch will also get some solid third party support like the 3DS had.

Marrio Odyssey was revealed in the same year as its release date.

I wish they would release a game that wasn't intended for children maybe then I would play their games

yu

Metroid, perhabs?
I know the Prime4 doesn't have a releasedate yet, but it's the closest what you will get

When they revealed it they had something to show.

Metroid and Pokemon have literally just begun development. Pokemon XY took 2 and a half years to release on 3DS from its launch. Metroid Prime Federation Force was in development for SIX years.

This is actually a pretty smart post.

I'll give it 8 years.

GBC sold no more than 40 million. Granted, the GBA was out three years later, but the GBA sold 80 million in the same time frame.
