Pikmin 3 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch - 30th October

in Nintendo Discussion 3 minutes ago

Good news 1. Pikmin 3 is coming to Switch. Bad news 1. Nintendo continues to charge $59.99 for Wii U ports when they should be $39.99 or under. 2. Pikmin 3 is removed from the Wii U eShop. ...

Poll - Is Switch a 9th gen console?

in Gaming Discussion 3 hours ago

d21lewis said: 73 to 73Closest vote, ever! Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. This seems pretty par for the course in the years I've discussed this on YouTube, Reddit, and other avenues. I firmly stand by that Switch is ninth generation, but it's not like I am guaranteed to feel that way for the rest of my life. I also consider Game Boy Color a successor, not an upgrade...

Do you think 3D Mario HD Collection & 3D World Deluxe are big enough Holiday titles to help sell the Switch??

in Nintendo Discussion 1 day ago

Not as big as previous years, but big enough. We'll be frustrated that they are the big holiday titles. But the more casual player/consumer will likely eat them up with no complaints. If these are real, I honestly think we'll get three releases. Super Mario 64/Super Mario Sunshine HD Collection, Super Mario Galaxy HD Collection, and Super Mario 3D World Deluxe. And Nintendo will charge $60 for...

Rushed Video Game Platform Launches

in Gaming Discussion 1 day ago

Mandalore76 said: PS3 Launched in 2006 with $500 and $600 price points due to being built around an expensive blu-ray player. The PS2 was still selling extraordinarily well. Sony could have saved themselves a ton of losses if they had waited until the technology became cheaper rather than burning through all of the PS2's profit by selling the PS3 at a substantial...

Rushed Video Game Platform Launches

in Gaming Discussion 2 days ago

Over the course of video game hardware, there have been platforms that have been rushed. Whether that rush was in North America, Japan, other regions, or worldwide. Signs of a rushed video game platform may include: high price, lack of compelling software, hardware failure, and other factors. Here are some platforms I think are rushed, but some are debatable. Let me know what you all think. Feel...

Is there a possibility that the Nintendo Switch will be the best-selling console?

in Sales Discussion 2 days ago

GhaudePhaede010 said: To think when I said Switch would sell Wii-like numbers, I was laughed at. My, how the tides have turned. I would've laughed at you. I thought NES on the lower end to 3DS on the higher end. Now I don't laugh at people that would say it could sell PS4 numbers. Because even though I don't think that will happen, it's possible. I do laugh at those who say it...

What was the First Movie You Saw in Theaters?

in Movies Discussion 2 days ago

Leynos said: Snow White. The animated Disney film. For a log time Disney refused to release it on VHS so they still only showed it in a theatre. 1993, I take it? Or even earlier than that? Yup, Snow White was the final untouchable to be released on home video. That is unless you count Oliver & Company and The Black Cauldron as untouchables. Fantasia was a hold-out for a while as...

What was the First Movie You Saw in Theaters?

in Movies Discussion 2 days ago

Toy Story 2, for sure. Maybe Tarzan, but that's a little fuzzy. It would've been earlier in 1999, and I can't remember. If I was ever brought when I was under 2 and a half, I can't remember. ...

Do you think Nintendo killed off the Wii too early

in Nintendo Discussion 2 days ago

Yeah. But they weren't supporting it well in 2011 or 2012 anyway. I still think it was stupid to never make a version (whether a revision or just an updated SKU) with an HDMI port or at least release an adapter. The original Xbox supported HDMI in certain games for crying out loud. I wonder if it would've helped Nintendo to release their Wii successor in 2013 with the specs of the docked...

Is there a possibility that the Nintendo Switch will be the best-selling console?

in Sales Discussion 3 days ago

There's at best only a 5% chance of that happening. PS2 sold so well because it was the successor to the titanic PS1. And it continued to sell very well after the PS3 launched due to the PS3's high price and at times lack of software. The PS2 was $129.99 when the PS3 launched at $499.99 and $599.99. If there's even been a next generation vs. old generation price gap that large, please let me...

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 3 days ago

Stellar_Fungk said: I’m a real gamer, so I will always have something to play on the Switch. You should be the same. That's a pretty ridiculous assumption. What if you've played hundreds of games in your life on over a dozen different consoles? That would certainly reduce some of the third-party possibilities on Switch. And some people would rather drop $60 on one exciting new...

Lucky you! You're the new head of Nintendo. What do you do?

in Nintendo Discussion 3 days ago

I would have considerable power, but the board of directors could obviously still disapprove of things I do. But here are some things I would do or attempt to do. -Communication of what first-party titles are coming out the rest of 2020 and for most of 2021. -Dedicated servers for Switch Online, joining a friend's game, voice chat, N64/GCN/GB/GBC/GBA games on Nintendo Switch Online. Also, add...

Mandalore76 said: Wman1996 said: Switch is ninth generation. If it were a home console only, it would be the second eighth generation console for Nintendo.

Will PS5 repeat the success of the PS4, and achieve 50 % marketshare?

in Gaming Discussion 5 days ago

No. I've said it before, I'll say it again. PS4 did so well because of the stupidity of Nintendo and Microsoft. Would the PS4 still have cracked around PS1 numbers if Nintendo and Microsoft were more competent? Yeah. But it would not reach 125-135 million like it's projected to right now. If you include Switch with the PS4 market share, PS4 didn't hit 50%. But if you compare it against Xbox One,...

Does the industry consider the mid-gen upgrades (PS4 Pro and X1X) successful?

in Gaming Discussion 5 days ago

VAMatt said: Considering how little PS and XB have talked about the sales of their premium consoles, I'm thinking they must not view them as successful. At least, not big successes. If they though they were, they'd certainly proclaim it loudly to us. On a personal level, I liked the idea when we first heard about it, and even through the launch of the systems. But, in hindsight, I think I'd...

Does the industry consider the mid-gen upgrades (PS4 Pro and X1X) successful?

in Gaming Discussion 5 days ago

Tough to say. On the handheld front, Nintendo did this with DSi and New 3DS. I think it helped in those cases. The DSi in particular was a success because it added a camera and a digital games (DSiWare) store. But I think those platforms would've continued to sell regardless, so a mid-gen specs boost wasn't needed. The PS4 Pro is basically the best 1080p console on the market. Even if you have...

The console war is over

in Gaming Discussion on 29 July 2020

Console wars have usually been very dumb, but the corporations don't care as much anymore. It's really just "consumers" and "gamers" who still treat them like they exist. The fourth generation was basically the first console war. I guess you could argue they happened in the first three generations if you want. But Atari smoked everyone in the second gen, and Nintendo really smoked the...

Over 3 years in, Switch is still missing basic features.

in Nintendo Discussion on 28 July 2020

There are people here who say a lot of the things I mentioned are clutter. That's obviously okay if you feel that way. Is it safe to say you would feel the same way about PlayStation, Xbox, and if Nintendo was up to specs and in direct competition with Sony and Microsoft? Would it be totally fine if Nintendo released a home console in 2013 with the specs of Xbox One and PS4 and it had no internet...
