They did?

i dont think they flat out stated, "we are going to release a VR device"

it was more along the lines of, "VR is something we are researching and looking into"

He directly answers a question about Nintendo doing VR with, and this is paraphrasing a bit, "There's lots of activity happening in Kyoto and other [Nintendo] studios. I can't say much right now, but there's curtainly more we'll be doing in this space."

Are they not supposed to go third party after the Switch?

Don't be absurd.

They're going fourth party.

Fourth party?

That would be... A dev making games for a third party that makes games for a first party? Something like that?

Like... A second second party?

There's always room for improvement, but Switch's concept is perfect imo. So if it's sucessful, I want Nintendo to evolve from it.

It really is a good concept. All it lacks is more power and built-in controllers that aren't meant for midget hands.

Don't take it the wrong way though, I still enjoy it quite a bit. But the Pro Controller feels much better in my hands than the cramped/tiny layout of the joycons.

Alrighty, we all love contemplating the future on this sight so here's my latest thought. Historically, I have almost always been supportive of Nintendo's "innovation first" mentality when it comes to their hardware. I loved how much the Wii/DS line changed up the industry compared to the GC/GBA. I loved how you could take the Wii U tablet to the bathroom and the kitchen, and I somewhat enjoyed the 3d effect of the 3ds (though not in years). The Switch, in my opinion, is their greatest innovation ever. It has better motion controls than the wii (and WAAAY less clunky) and is the most convenient device I've ever owned other than a handheld (but the fact that it can player full fledged games makes up for that).

The 3D-stuff was nothing great, the real innovation of the 3DS was Streetpass, I'm sad to see it gone with Switch. Same with Miiverse, I hoped they would've continued it with Switch.

In reality, the Switch is an evolution of the wii u gamepad. It looks so similar, but functions much better both in power, energy, ability to go anywhere, and connecting EASILY to a television.

This all leads me to something I've realized about my desire for Nintendo in the future; I just want them to keep making stronger versions of what they started with the Wii U and the Switch. I don't ever want to go back to a lame console that you can't take on the go or plug in easily to a tv. Let the Sony and Microsoft fans hall around tons of massive hardware. I basically want the Switch to be the new playstation (better hardware each time, but not changing up the formula too much), because, at least in my current mindset, I can't imagine enjoying a system more than I do this small, convenient, incredibly mobile device. 

What say you?

Having a mobile console is great, and the hybrid concept makes it even better. I hope they stay with the hybrid concept.

I honestly think Nintendo has found their PlayStation here. (At the expense of pissing off all those people who want them to go 3rd party.)
Meaning they've found their system that has great potential to have long-lasting appeal that can span multiple decades.
Just take what they have with the Switch and make it better and more advanced.
So, what's next after Switch?
Switch 2, Switch 3, Switch 4, etc.

The main reason Playstation is holding is good brand image for customers and game makers. Customers flock to Playstation even in bad situations (PS3 was expensive, but still many got it, PS4 started out with mostly ports but had record sales) because they expect it getting lotsa games and game makers go for it because they expect lotsa customers that buy their games. both together it creates a situation of self-fulfilling prophecy.

If the hybrid concept gets copied by Sony, Nintendo is in the worse situation if they don't think of anything new. Good thing for Nintendo is, I'm not sure if Sony is willing to go for it. Bad thing for Nintendo is that someone surely will try a hybrid console. But if it isn't Sony they might not have the game advantage.

I was only sort of into streetpass, but Miiverse I loved and I was sad to see it not in Switch as well. I just think gamers are more comfortable sharing gaming things on something like that than facebook. With actual social media you don't want all your friends and family to think your THAT big of a nerd lol. And yes, they should stick with the hybrid. Glad to see so many agree with that perspective.
