Nintendo is too busy counting money now, they have no time to develop games, so they give you this garbage garage to make your own games.

Looks like that Hat guy in Mario's Odyssey, obviously copied. Sometimes I think Nintendo is the Apple of the game industry, everyone just followed whatever Nintendo is doing.

Why can't Nintendo use CRT technology, video games look best on them, no ghosting and the fastest screen response.

Why people play these games? People play them because they got too much time, especially during the pandemic lockdown.

BotW 2 will run at 60 fps on the New Switch and 30 fps on the old one. That's how Nintendo will make people upgrade.

Nintendo can't use 1080p screen because the upscaling is done in the dock. The chip that does the upscaling resides in the dock, not in the Switch unit.

PS Vita uses OLED screen 10 years ago. It took Nintendo a decade to finally catch up.

Reggie must be thinking of going back to Nintendo, after the pandemic university is not so hot right now.

Zelda's Wild Breath 2 is finally here for the anniversary. Bayonetta 3 too! Maybe even a Switch Pro!

This is more impressive, Zelda with Ray tracing 4K:

Maybe the dock now has it's own processor and storage - and can run games from it. That means the Switch don't need to connect, and can be use in your hands like Wii U gamepad? This allows Nintendo to start selling Wii U/3DS ports this year.

Sony PS Vita is so ahead of time, using OLED back in 2012.

The 4K is done using up-scaling trick with a chip in the dock, it's not real 4K - Switch is incapable of that.

There's an interesting tidbit from the article on Why Bill Gates decided to make the Xbox: It's because of Sony.

BACH: We’re not getting anywhere. So at some point during the meeting, I said to Steve Ballmer, “We’re not going to convince each other. So let’s just decide not to do this. If you guys are that concerned about it, let’s just stop.” And of course, that led to like another hour of angst about, “Well, Sony has got PlayStation 2 in the living room. They’re calling it a computer. What are we going to do about that?”

FRIES: One of the vice presidents who had been quiet the whole time asks this question, “What about Sony?” So that basically stopped the room, and the way I remember it is, it got quiet for a second, and then Bill got that kind of funny look he gets when he’s thinking and said, “What about Sony?” And he turns to Ballmer, and Ballmer said, “What about Sony?”

Besides Region free, now we need Timezone free.

Well, Nintendo just realised that the 3DS is still better than the Switch, so they decided to improve it.

Nintendo: Congratulations on launch! (but our Switch is the only console available in stores, lol.)

They should use Donald Trump for Tropico 7.

People were lockdown everywhere this year, that accounts for the digital sales. Next year won’t be so lucky for Nintendo as PS5 and Xbox SX are out now, people were holding on for the next generation launch, that’s why Switch was selling so well this year.

This game is actually worse than the previous version. The previous version has some legendary tennis players included. Still not as good as Virtual Tennis.

The problem is that current batch of tennis players are boring and lacking charisma, the players from the 80s, 90s and 2000 are more attractive.

As usual, Sony will released a smaller PS5 2 years from now. It will shamed early adopters who bought this giant monstrosity.

Switch Pro will comes with Wifi 6, linked to your iPhone 12’s 5G and you have a capable cloud streaming game console. Processor doesn’t matter anymore.

It’s meant to run slow. Gives you a reason to buy Switch Pro early next year.

That's Steve's 3rd leg.

Let's see how Cyberpunk 2077 runs on Switch.

@BROJANGSTER Why? Because it's fun to troll.

Beat Sabre is a more engaging exercise game to me.

@BROJANGSTER While I enjoy Nintendo games I don't even own any Nintendo consoles. I played all the games on Yuzu, Cemu, Dolphin and Citra. My point of view is not that of a fan, but someone looking from the outside. I troll the fans here when they are blindly adoring Nintendo, as the opposition party tends to do.

@skycargav2000 You mean driving under a lady's skirt?

@BROJANGSTER Haven't you heard the word 'troll'? You just took the bait.

I bet Sakurai hates Kirby more than anything by now: every time a new character is added to Smash, he has to create a Kirby clone for it.

Believe it or not: Pikmin 3 is more CPU intensive than Zelda:BotW. If you ran these 2 games on the Wii U emulator, you can see the CPU utilization is higher for Pikmin.

@WiltonRoots Surprising you don't need a high end computer to run that Wii U emulator. A mid range system with nVidia 950 chip can run Zelda:BotW at 60fps, 1080p with enhanced graphics. Other games like Pikmin 3, Mario 3d World, Windwaker, etc required even less.

LOL, you can actually try this on a Wii U emulator before you buy.

This Switch port is inferior to the Wii U version, just like Wonderful 101, you don't have a screen for map, inventory and other 'quality of life' controls.

If you bought 10 Switches at discounted prices and sold them during the quarantine a few months ago, you can easily sold them at double the price (earning thousands of dollars) with Switches out of stock everywhere.

That is a better real life lesson from selling turnips.

It will be nice if Nintendo collaborate with DJI to make a Pilotwing game using their drone.

We are living in the Age of Remastered, we got so used to the idea of re-buying games that it becomes a norm. Not only do we not complaint, but we expects them - we expects remastered like we expects the sun to rise the next day.

That's how easy it is to condition people - first they resist, then they became indifferent, next they expects them as a part of life.

Microsoft is the best 3rd party dev on Switch, all their games are 60fps.

I have more fun killing cockroaches than this.

This game should have been a DLC for Breath of the Wild. Everything looks the same, just needs more enermies for a more action based game.

It makes me wonder what Nintendo is doing? Many of their games were outsourced to 3rd parties and they don't need to make games for 3DS anymore. Most of their games for Switch are ports from Wii U, so what is Nintendo doing all this time? Busy counting money in their bank?

This is not news. You can emulate PS2 and PSP on Switch for quite some time now.

Sony will only worried if MS bought Rockstar. No GTA 6 on PS5 will killed it instantly. GTA is a game that last a generation.

I posted this before, but there is already proof that Switch Pro is in production:

https://fccid.io/BKEHAT002/Letter/02-FCC-Class-II-Permissive-Change-Letter-4869805

“...The warehouse where the Radar Scopes had been gathering dust was run by Don James, whose wife was named Polly. As a way of thanking the warehouse manager, who received a lot of heat from the landlord over Nintendo’s uncollected rent, they decided to rename “Lady” after his wife. Lady became Pauline, close enough to Polly.
Around this time, the Tukwila warehouse’s owner showed up in person to angrily remind Arakawa about the rent. As the legend goes, the owner, Mario Segale, interrupted a conversation over what to call Jumpman. Segale said his piece, and he grew so incensed he almost jumped up and down himself. After the landlord left, eviction threat delivered, someone suggested the name Mario. It was a joke, since both men had mustaches. But everyone liked the name."

Excerpt From: Jeff Ryan. “Super Mario - How Nintendo conquered America"

This why Switch owners shouldn't be worried when Microsoft bought Bethesda. MS will port their exclusives to the Switch if it's capable of running it. Skyrim, Doom, Wolfenstein, etc will still be supported.

@Cyrax77 Everyone will be (or had been) modding their 3DS with CFW by then.

Let's keep that free MarioKart 7 online service alive for years to come.

The first Kingdom Rush is free on iOS. Try it! It's addictive. The devs are smart, giving the first game out for free to entice people to buy all the sequels.

@Yorumi Apple use Rosetta 2 to run old Intel apps. The original Rosetta was used to run PowerPC apps when they switched to Intel in 2006.

Devs had tested Rosetta 2 and said it runs emulated x86 apps faster than MS Surface Pro X running native ARM apps - and that's with the old A12Z chip used in iPad Pro. With the new A14 chip, people won't even noticed the difference between emulated and native. MS will create something similar, if they are going for a full migration to ARM. It's going to happen sooner or later, with Nvidia's ARM chip surpassing Intel chip's performance in the future. When people see the Macbook Pro having a 20hrs battery, they will demand it and PC maker will use Nvidia's ARM chip, and MS will make a greater commitment to ARM.

Apple is migrating all their Macs to ARM chip within 2 years, PC makers will eventually do it as well. Nvidia is doing a pre-emptive strike on the PC market by purchasing ARM. In the future PC will be using Nvidia ARM CPU with Nvidia integrated GPU.

Intel will be out of the picture. They are already slowly dying in the last few years.
