Forums - Nintendo - Miyamoto: We're Not Interested In High End Specs (Hardware)

In fairness to Nintendo price point is important and this will be the first console generation where the more powerful system has won ever (so history until now anyways has implied power not matter as much as we would like) of course part of that success may also be that the PS4 is also the first time ever that the more powerful system has cost less than one of its competitors.

I don't get it. You can have the most powerful console coupled with the best balance of features and interface.

I don't really understand the explanation or the motive given, it feels more like an excuse of some sort. Also, don't the X1 and Ps4 produce little to zero noise and heat?


One word: Iwamoto

As long as they rule the Nintendo Kingdoom, we are going to see low spec hardware and unwanted games.

...then Nintendo shouldn't expect costumers to be interested in their products, simple as that.

Why exactly you don't buying NX? Because it will not have top speeds available in hardware market!? 

Reggie, Iwata and Miyamoto for Nintendo made generation that was most successful in Nintendo history, more than 255m consoles and around 2 billion pieces of software. This gen is not great for Nintendo, but that doesn't mean that next will not be better.


You know who basically gets overlooked here?

Atushi Asada. Most Nintendo fans don't know the name but he was Nintendo's chairman (yes above Iwata) from about 1999-2004, self appointed by Yamauchi to basically run the ship until Iwata got his legs under him. 

The Wiimote is directly Asada's decision according to the creator of the Wiimote, who took the idea first to Microsoft and then Sony. Rebuffed he then went to Nintendo as a last resort. According to him, Asada stopped his presentation midway through and an arguement ensued with the "Nintendo team" (about 8 people). Asada finally said something that shut everyone up, and he directly bought the rights to the Wiimote and bought a stake in the company. 

I think Iwata's role might honestly be overstated. Asada stepped down from Nintendo in summer 2005, but by then the things that would propel the Wii to success were already in place (Wiimote, Wii Sports, Wii Fit). 

The team of Iwata-Miymaoto-Takeda consolidated control of the board of directors post-2010, but this is also the time where many things start to fall apart for Nintendo. Maybe those three aren't as smart as we've made them out to be. 

Atushi Asada can still return to Nintendo?

How has this ever been news?

What if NX is just one platform, console and handheld combined? It would act as normal handheld and it could also "stream" to TV and act as a controller? "Streaming" would be done wireless of course, USB? You could go anywhere plug the USB-receiver to laptop and start gaming or TV. There would also be pro-controllers which would act wirelessly through the console. A true portable console/handheld with WiiU like specs.

Is this too wild?



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

Watch Nintendo makes a console just as powerful as PS4 with Gamepad 2.0 in late 2017.



Yea, and that's part of why I'm not in a rush to get their consoles. The GC was the last home console I loved from them, and while the Wii U is nice, it's severely lacking. I can't blame them for their view given their relative failures with the N64 and GC; however, they don't have to go for the top spot - just be strong enough to compete and be relevant.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

Noooooo! Please nooooo!

Of course they won't do it. They didn't make Wiimote 2.0, even less a gamepad 2.0.

Nintendo going multiplatform seems more plausible the more interviews they provide. I don't think shareholders are happy with what's going on and sooner or later selling games is what's mattering
