Thanks to confirm your level with that answer of you... Great job mate.

@LuckyLand

You describe the situation with admirable accuracy.
+1 on that. ^^

@johnvboy Do you know what is a texture ? ^^

Duh, Zelda Breath of the Wild has a lower size/weight than a 3rd party AAA... LOL

There are some genius here...

@TheAwesomeBowser Man, I cannot be more than agree with you !

The Online service is just bad, really bad...
It's just a fact and I even don't understand why some people try to transform the reality into something better...

You have my total support on that dude ! ^^

@johnvboy I'm deadly serious...
@Mrtoad Yep ! ^^

@johnvboy In Japan...

In the US it's less than Sony but still kind of good but in Europe, it's not that great at all... Not a disaster... but not that good...

@johnvboy You know, PR talks is a norm today... :/

To trust blindly a CEO today it's like to be convinced that the Earth is flat... (Wink to @Electrolite77) ^^

Like the president of Nintendo COULD SAY : "Yeah, we know that we're screwed with the target and to be honest, we knew it already from the start" LOL

@johnvboy @maruse @nintendosage @michellelynn0976 @MrBlacky @Medic_alert @Anti-Matter @GrailUK

Just listen the president please and now understand that your fanboyism is not a great thing to stay neutral like me.

"Furukawa Taro insisted during the interview on the importance of innovation and flexibility. Moreover, it may well be that the heart of the business may no longer be home consoles."

I just let you ALL think on that sentence a little bit...

There is something that is not said but really important :

In Japan, the PS4 is a home system and the Switch is a portable there.

To compare the Switch to the PS4 is almost a nonsense, especially when we all know how portable systems from Nintendo sells in Japan compare to home systems...

PS : for those who don't know, in Japan the Switch is sold as a portable device that you can eventually plug on a TV.

@NotAceAttorney

Except that Smash Bros Bros Ultimate is at the 14th place of the top already... ^^

Why do we have Japan numbers only ?
99% of the people here live or in Europe or in the States...

I'd like to have worldwide numbers too...

If we stay in Japan :
Spider-Man Voted Game of the Year by Japanese Developers as PS4 Games Dominate the Top on Famitsu.

1.Marvel’s Spider-Man
2.Monster Hunter: World
3.Detroit: Become Human
4.Red Dead Redemption 2
5.God of War
6.Octopath Traveler
7.Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
8.Fortnite
9.Conan Exiles
10.Splatoon 2

@MakeMyBiscuit

This is normal...
When you look at your games on your screen, you don't have a direct comparison with a gamecube connected at the same time side by side.

@Devi @Tempestryke

My pleasure !

@Delibheel

Being unpleasant ? Hum I'm ok with that but this has to be apply to everyone then...

Merry Christmas.

@Pod

I don't like liars but you're right Pod.

@Agramonte

I think it's always interesting to check out the past time.

Nintendo fans were proud to have full games at launch with no DLCs because YA KNO' DLCs are crap.
Nintendo started to follow the trend with DLCs and now Nintendo fans are happy with DLCs (even with tricky ones like Amiibos).

Nintendo fans were so proud of their FREE ONLINE because YA KNO', on other platforms you have to pay to play online and it's a shame to pay for that.
Nintendo started to follow the trend with no free online anymore and now Nintendo fans explain that it's not a problem because you have 3 free NES roms to play in the package... :/

Nintendo fans were so proud of their original librairy of games because YA KNO', on other platforms it's so bad with all the amounts of ports from the previous generation blah blah blah...
Nintendo started to follow the trend with dozens of ports on the Switch and now Nintendo fans scream that it's a great thing to have almost only ports on Switch...

etc...etc...etc...

So, why couldn't I imagine that Travis Strikes Again sells well and because of that, we're gonna get a REAL No More Heroes...
Maybe to get another Metroid Prime we'll have to buy first a port of Federation Force... why not ?
Maybe to get another FZERO we'll have to buy first a mobile FZERO Adobeflash style... why not ?

Hope you're gonna get my point...?^^

@MakeMyBiscuit

You're right on that but you forget something REALLY important :

The video signal of the Wii is just terrible compare to the one of the gamecube.

Please take a look ^^ :

@c2018nlifemedia Thank you dude.

I could say that the rain is wet and I don't like being wet, a lot of people here will complain that I'm negative, stupid and uncivil...

What a masquerade... :/

THIS is an extremely low budget game with a No More Heroes skin on it.
People should boycott that "thingy" otherwise it could become trendy to do that everytime...

Forza Motorsport 7 !

It reminds me when Adam Boyes left Sony...
The result was terrible and I hope Nintendo will handle the situation better than how Sony did... :/

@electrolite77

Don't play the guy who don't know that 6 Million units on 14 Million users is much more impressive than 30 milion units on 155 Million users...

Nice try

@JoakimZ said :"The crappy d-pad of the pro controller combined with the many, many excellent 2D platformers on Switch makes an 8bitdo controller pretty much essential. I have an SF30Pro and I am very happy with it."

That's great to know that a small company makes better products than the officials... o_O

With the awesome D-pad of the Switch (sarcastic cough) it's gonna be a pleasure to play this game again... (sarcastic cough again) and to pay 6 times the price of the Wii U's version (sarcastic cough again and again).

Well done.

@YANDMAN

Undersea pyramids confuse you ?

From my perspective, it's more about the kind of undersea roads the mummies liked living on...
Apparently it was all about dead ends... but that's not scientifically proven yet

@YANDMAN

What's yours ?

@YANDMAN

Excuse me, just like i said before. ^^

@YANDMAN

Excuse me ?

@Schneiderbear

I have one on my Wii U pluged in a Sony PVM with RGB SCART cable.

So yes you can play on a CRT with a Wii U.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLmIhOg6Og8

PS : it runs great and if you really want 240p output you can get that by modding the Wii U. ^^

@MakeMyBiscuit said "The last 5 and the Virtual Boy I can live with but how did the Wii U score higher than the original Wii???"

Very simple :
The Wii in totally include inside the Wii U... Basically a Wii U is a Wii U + a Wii... that's why... ^^

7. Wii
6. Switch
5. N64
4. Famicom
3. Gamecube
2. Wii U
1. Super Famicom

@JaxonH

Do you understand that a launch date during the black friday CAN'T be a black friday for these systems BECAUSE they are just launched ?

Keep in mind that this type of comparison does not necessarily have to be: by its choice of launch period, in 21 months, the Switch was able to live two Christmas (and therefore two periods of Black Friday), against only one for the other two...

@gokev13

I understand what you mean and I'm half ok with it but whatever...
You're a guy who take the time to explain his point of view and you stay polite all the way... I really apreciate that (it's not that common here ^^)

Kind regards dude.

@Syrek24 you're funny son !

@Anri02

If you knew how "funky" it was to develop on the Wii U, trust me you would not even ask that question...

@Batty5

In case you don't know, they had to adapt the source code AND add new stuffs on it... The result brings inevitably bugs... :/

@bluemujika @Ventilator I feel the same as you...

This is what happend when you don't build a game from the ground...

@gokev13

If you read well, I say : " A kind of enhanced port ".

Do I say : " It's a port " ? No I don't... I just try to explain that, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, Smash "U"ltimate is a game built on Smash U with extras...

To do an analogy, it like buying a house repainted it and build some extra rooms under the roof and say : " THIS is a NEW house that I build myself" LOL

But don't get me wrong, the job they've done is remarkable (The map is ugly though). I just can't stand people who deny facts...
Smash Ultimate is not built from the ground at all, it's the Wii U's skeleton with additional stuffs...

It's absolutely ridiculous !

The ring's sound in the track destroy the entire composition.
Otherwise, It confirms what I always thought about the YM2612.
It's a better soundchip than the SPC700 from the Super Famicom.

Better is not the term, it's purest ! Yeah, the SPC700 sounds more "real" because you can use samples but the quality of them is so low that the Megadrive soundchip is more "arcadesque".

For me, one of the best example to understand is this :

@electrolite77 said : "And I just see a confused mess. The Gamepad added nothing beyond Off TV Play that some games didn’t offer as they mandated other gimmickry instead to try and justify the ‘innovation’ of the system. The system itself was underpowered and slow to navigate. The Gamepad has a low res screen, poor range and poor battery life. Even after a poor first year, the good games it did get were months apart."

And what the Switch add beyond handheld mode ?
Underpowered compare to what ? SONY and MS ? Guess what... it still the same with the Switch... ^^
The "low res" screen is a 480p screen and ALL the games could be played with that resolution... Do I have to remember you that Xenoblade chronicles 2 drop to 368p ? LOL what's the point to have a 720p screen then ?
The battery life was already better than the one on the Switch and you even could extend the battery life to 8 hours with the 2550mAh one... Again something that you can't do with a Switch...

@AlternateButtons

Think the same here !

@skywake

Super Smash Bros for Wii U runs with only 1GB.
Super Smash Bros Ultimate runs with 3.5GB.

The developers have more than 3 times RAM capacity.
The way they explain that in the video is more like :
the developers have double amount of RAM, which is wrong... it's 3.5 times...

And after seeing this video, I clearly see Smash Ultimate like and "Enhanced port of the Wii U version" but with flaws too...

It's Super Smash Bros for Wii U"ltimate" sort of...
In contrary of all the the other Smash Bros, we can clearly see that they used all the material of the previous game on Wii U to build Ultimate.

Super Smash for Wii U was a total new work and not an enhanced port from Brawl.
Brawl was a total new work and not an enhanced port from Melee.
Melee was a total new work and not an enhanced port from Smash 64.

It's not the case for "U"ltimate...

@skywake except that the Switch used less than 1/2 Gb for the system... Make your own calculations...

@PolarExperience You're absolutely right ! :/

@AlternateButtons

There is another mistake :

they talk about the 4Gb Ram of the Switch compare to the 2Gb of the Wii U to handle textures... The problem is that the Wii U use 1 entire Gb just to run the system :/
In reality, Smash 4 Wii U runs with only 1Gb and not 2...

EDIT : the Donkey Kong fur's texture on Switch... o_O What the...
EDIT 2 : they reduced the shadows quality... hum strange...
EDIT 3 : What did they said ? Ultimate is the least responsive of all the SmashBros ever with gamecube controller ? o_O
