Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo Patents: In Game Chat, Sound Sampling, Low Power Mode, and More

So, like ... On, Sleep, and Off? That's crazy, it will never work. It's just too outlandish.

Also, the game-pad is returning to action!

Low power mode? It's a portable then



Nintendo has been slaying with these Patents!!!
Keeping the media and gamers talking throughout the year

I've said this before and I'll say it again, power is not the reason 3rd parties left the Wii U.


Is not the only problem but yes lack of power is the main reason as to why the wii u lacks third party games


No, it is not the main reason. Fifa 15 got put on the freaking Wii and 3DS, but skipped Wii U.

CoD AW got put on 360 and PS3, which are both weaker than Wii U.

Dragon Age: Inquisition, same deal with CoD AW.

Pretty much every third party game that I'm going to name it will be the exact same thing. They were put on the 360 and PS3, therefore, power is 0% of why those games weren't on the Wii U.

 

Power however IS the reason games like Star Wars Battlefront is not getting put on it.

SO, the reason third parties don't put their games on the Wii U is because they are too lazy to develop something for the Gamepad (which technically they don't have to) and because it won't sell a ton. It'll sell enough to pay for the costs of the port and still earn profit... 

Even if they lost money, the profits coming from other platforms would obviously cover it.

Very interesting. At least it sounds like they're embracing in game chat for the next console.

Looks like Nintendo is joining g the 8th generation



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

I'm curious about how the three modes of power will work.
I figure the lowest power mode is just airplane mode, but the second lowest power mode is interesting.
Perhaps it will limit the processing power of the device in order to conserve energy?



how is nintendo patenting all this things the competiton already has on the market? is nintendo's master plan for a return to profitability to become patent trolls??

Nah, I think it's more like they are trying to prevent getting sued constantly by patent trolls.

Nope because if this was true the ps3 and 360 wont have 3rd party games anymore.
