Staring into the abyss of a world where Nintendo has no games scheduled for release. Edit: The Time of Darkness Has Arrived

in Nintendo Discussion on 22 March 2020

I bet we will have remasters of older consoles and casual experiments this year. Games that do not rely on building hype for months, and can be announced closer to the release date. Something like wii sports or party, kid icarus uprising HD, WW or TP, pikmin HD, some mario remaster. A mid/big (mario party level) new game for holiday. ...

Switch can't/won't outsell DS because...........

in Sales Discussion on 20 February 2020

victor83fernandes said: Radek said: Yes it can run GTA 5 and COD but neither of these publishers want to release these games on it so... People are missing the point, most people are upgrading to 4K, in fact you almost cant find a 1080p TV anymore. Then, GTA5 is from last gen, it doesn't hold up well compared to modern games, gta5 is full of jaggies compared with...

Switch can't/won't outsell DS because...........

in Sales Discussion on 17 February 2020

Well, eventually the interest for switch from non owners will decline, even if nintendo supports it, like 3DS. Only switch owners would buy the new games. Also, is better to have 2 consoles selling 100 to 120M than 1 sellling 160 to 180M(that will also have more price drops). But I see a mid ground. I see switch successor coming only in 2024 and switch having a 110 to 130M total sales. ...

Which Nintendo Franchise will be the next to join the "10m club"?

Could Next-Gen Switch Use Nvidia DLSS AI Upscaling?

in Nintendo Discussion on 07 February 2020

Yes. The problem with the first test was that he used a AI trained for generic movies. The key point is to train the net for specific content. The developers provide tons of 4k, antialiased, etc images to the net and the respective 360p/720p/1080p native image. train a week or two. And load the model along with the game. The result would be far, far better. Train to avoid jaggies while adding...

Will Switch get third party support post PS5?

in Nintendo Discussion on 03 February 2020

Well, probably ps4 and one will keep getting games for a long time. At least xbox will support one with new games for 2 years. PS4 has a large base and developers wont drop it soon. Would be the same situation that switch currently is in port receiving for 2 or 3 years at least after ps5/XSX launch. ...

Should Nintendo make all future consoles hybrids?

in Nintendo Discussion on 03 February 2020

A full hybrid, a home only, and a portable only versions of the same console should be fine. They should definitely keep the development teams merged anyway. The Nintendo games that come to a possible home console and a possible handheld should be the same. ...

Comparison of reason for sales of Wii, WiiU and Switch

in Sales Discussion on 17 January 2020

Great thread. Almost every game on wii U have a version with no gamepad. Splatoon 2 on switch, zumbi U in ps4, even mario maker on switch you can play with buttons. Also there are reports of developers not knowing what to do with the gamepad... In this case, the gamepad could be like the PSVR is. An optional accessory for a few games. Imagine the only way to buy a PS4 was paying 700$ for a...

Opinion: The Future Will Not About Hardware Platform (PC/COnsole/handled/Mobile ) but Ecosystem (service/software)

in Gaming Discussion on 16 January 2020

Once a time I tried to imagine gaming in 2 or 3 decades. Cheap devices are so advanced that they had computational power to run any realistic game. We wont need cloud computational capabilities. The consoles are no more, Playstation, xbox and Nintendo (and other, with more competition) are just apps for phones or TVs. Enter and access your library and play any game on your TV or phone. They run...

Smash Bros DLC 5 Presentation announced: 01/16 6AM PT

in Nintendo Discussion on 16 January 2020

I dont get it. Before the presentation we had 1 chance of getting the character we wanted. (ok, sakurai said we would have more, but I expected it would be something like piranha plant...) Now, we have 6 chances of having the character we want. Even for those who didnt want Byleth, or think it shouldnt be on smash, is a win situation. I will never get this trend of gaming community that...
