@Geonjaha I think they meant "they did it anyways, so our previous opinion holds no water"

OT: Given DeNA will be undertaking the brunt of the mobile developement, there's no reason to worry about Nintendo's handhelds and consoles: let alone if said mobile games are concieved to be advertisements to their console/handheld games.

Given how the NX is called a "platform", I expect at least a console and handheld running the in same architechture and OS, possibly both running ubiquitous ARM chips.

Sweden, please scram off and die in a ditch, where nobody can see you.

Signed: a sane person.

I rather have Nintendo remaking Metroid II, since it didn't age too well.

@Quorthon Almost, almost. The OS base is the same (FreeBSD forks), but the hardware architecutre was distinct between both the PS3 and PS4, not to mention is there is some sort of API in there a la Android.

@abbyhitter highly unlikely, if we go with Iwata's words.

The console/hybrid handheld sounds good on paper, but in reality it would be a rather compromised option, since it could be pricey for a handheld and weak for a console.

The most likely option is a family of gaming systems which comprises a console and a handheld, using similar architectures and OSs for ease and speed of developement, alongside strong connectivity.

oh, not heavy-handed politics in my vidya, please.

not to mention socialism/communism failed because it's more reliant on the human condition.

@Superryanworld There are more chances of PS being spun off than Sony saving itself in its current form.

@LUIGITORNADO The PS4 won't save Sony as it is. It's just too much weight to throw around.

and stop being so salty towards the QoL thing; it's not like Nintendo would drop the console business because of it.

Man, this whole program sounds CUMBERSOME as hell.

In it's current form it just won't take off.

A 30-40% cut is rather steep, man.

it's the bargain of the century

given he has put his health on the line he deserves a break

Devil's Third needs more love

This is why scalpers should be deported to Antartica.

@Quorthon
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... easy with your claims about Sakamoto, because they easily qualify as ad hominem (since you're attacking his character, and "misoginy/sexism" is the go-to slander of this day and age). Sakamoto is just a hack writer and he shouldn't touch Metroid again because of that.

Won't defend the piece of garbage of story that Other M has, but it's garbage due incomptence rather than straight up "hatred for women" and for basically crapping over our collective view of Samus.

I think the logic of releasing the N3DSXL first (or making it the sole option) in America is because the XL outsold the regular by a bigger margin than in other territories.

@Kifa
Never wanted to buy a game in your lunch break, let your Wii U download it and install it and get your game ready to play when you come home?

If that ain't rad then you can get off my face.

Devil's Third needs more love.

IT BEGINS

BODY=READY

@NbaJunkie is not the FPS running above 30 FPS.

is the FPS dipping down during driving down to 15-20 FPS, which is bad.

IT'S HAPPENING

>Vita
>best gaming experience for the buck

pick one.

Why you people are conflating "architechture" with "consoles"?

There can be a future Nintendo console and a future Nintendo handheld that share the same family of internal components.

THE HYPE TRAIN HAS NO BRAKES

people be like:

"We want big changes on the Zelda formula"

Aounuma: "Well, I like the MK8 Master Cycle, I could put it in future Zelda games"

people: "NO TOO DIFFERENT, IT SUCKS! incoherent rage

it's hilariously sad.

This is the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot with a rocket launcher.

gg no re, Capcom.

Will hold out judgement until an official statement from Nintendo.

That "AFAIK" is rather dodgy.

@Yorumi
Slippery slope, my friend. The eShop is dwarfed by Apple's App Store and Google Play market in size, mostly because everybody has some smartdevice of sorts and everybody wants it's 15 minutes of fame in there. The eShop? They have to share space with Nintendo's big hitters, and some renowned indie devs (like Renegade Kid). It would take more than 5 sub-par devs to fill the eShop with crap.

As Ryno said, the reason why there wasn't a crash in those markets yet is because most crappy games cost next to nothing. Most people won't mind a wasted buck over a bad game.

@Yorumi
"Well part of the problem is so many people are buying it just because it's crap. That's just plain sad, and essentially those people are trying to ruining the wiiU for the rest of us. Essentially people are trying to sound a warning saying "you guys are going down a path that will destroy the wiiU, stop it.""

Hate to say it, but if lots of people out of NL are buying it, that's something that's outside of our control as NL denizens and individuals.

You know, if you get livid by the mere existence of a 1 buck Flappy Bird clone in the eShop, you should get your priorities checked.

Just vote with your wallets folks, yelling and throwing tantrums on the internet won't do jack crap.

This is an excellent ad.

This is the new GBC. Awesome.

Everything went down.

Damn.

@IxC Unless you have proof the DLCs were stripped out of the main game, you have no reason to say the game is "incomplete".

It has to come to Wii U. It has to.

@Caryslan
"Also, stop with the whole "we have taste" nonsense. Ok, you don't want gimped ports on the Wii U and you like Zelda and Mario games. How does that make you have better tastes than a Playstation or Xbox owner?"

As somebody stated above, there's no parity between PSXB and Wii U when it comes to 3rd party games. Wii U versions of AAA games usually have features cut and priced at a similar price as their PS/XB bretherns (in the best case; remember the Deus Ex fiasco?)

@JaxonH: it's not just the sloppy ports; it's the lack of DLC and the BS delays, sum it the powder keg of Nintendo fanbase and you get a freaking disaster.

Basically the Nintendo fanbase does not like to be treated like second class gamers; they don't forget so easily.

@khululy
That's a perfect analogy. Ubisoft is not putting value on their ports.

@PokeTune
So getting gimped, late ports at (near) full price like a second-class customer isn't a reason to get upset?

Of course nobody will buy your games on Wii U if you treat it like an afterthought. Ubi.

can you smell the money printing from a mile away?

I'd go for the Prime Trilogy. That thing is hard to find.

IT BEGINS

@Beetlejuice Except it's a 20-year grudge against NoA, and 20 years ago NoA had a completely different administration from today.

It comes out as petty.

Won't even play it >for free

sigh
Given the Wii U architechture is basically an evolved version of the GC one, that's slap to the face, Capcom. Not cool.

@Caryslan Problem is that then it comes the "declining handheld device" argument and then you might say later "drop that, go 3rd party". You're just advocating a short-term solution that will put Nintendo further in the corner in the long run.

I won't deny Nintendo botched the Wii U start badly, but if they can get their stuff together with the "unified architechture/OS" thing (which is great, since that means dramatically streamlined game developement), they have a chance of bouncing back next gen.

@marko
>implying someone will pay more than 200 bucks for a handheld (examples: early 3DS, PSVita)

@AyeHaley @Yorumi
Stop trying to make the hybrid console/handheld thing happen. It's not going to happen.

It could be too expensive for a handheld and quite underpowered for being a console. That's why the nVidia Shield is not taking over.
