The way they are shutting down 3DS leads me to believe the new system is coming next year. Moving on from Wii U sure but 3DS is suspicious.
After all the rumours running amok I think this is actually a smoking gun pointing to it because there is no way Nintendo would cut these off unless there was another plan.
The thing is people only think the job listing ties to Borderlands 3 just because they made the others but 8 years ago there was a CV found by a Stright Right employee who were porting a Square Enix game to Wii U.
Everybody thought it could (and arguably should) have been Tomb Raider but what did it turn out to be? Deus Ex. Unreal Engine is used throughout tonnes of games and the job listing could lead anywhere.
@ReikoMortis This is something any system owner should be doing. It amazes me people do not realise the potential of their franchises in the hands of other companies.
@rockodoodle I can agree with the second screen. Captain Toad itself is iffy to play on the TV because the touch control replacements often make things awkward but overall most of the ports have been better on Switch. It will just never replicate the Wii U.
Most games like Pikmin 3, Mario U/3D World, HD Zeldas etc sold well and made profits on Wii U anyway. It is just most seem to sell better on Switch so they make even more profits. Nintendo Land and Star Fox Zero would never translate well to Switch. Woolly World had the co-op and free roaming map removed on 3DS so that would be ideal to bring over on Switch.
Despite it flopping it was a truly unique console (far superior to the Wii) and there will probably be nothing like it. If Wii U owners were "beta testing" some games for Switch there are several cases where the betas far surpassed the other versions.
@rockodoodle 1. Not all Wii U games will come to Switch 2. Wonderful 101 is one instance where the Wii U original version is superior to the Switch due to simple touch controls becoming QTEs and shoddy second screen implementation. 3. Woolly World is still better on Wii U then 3DS.
You Wii U naysayers can cry foul but no matter what you convince yourselves of Wii U will always have games the other systems cannot touch. Sure those two games might have jumped to other systems but they are inferior products and the best way to play them (I argue the only way) is on the Wii U and not anywhere else.
But you probably did not play those two on Wii U or you would know the Wii U versions are factually far superior.
In some cases I think Wii U works better. People will no doubt disagree with me but the Miiverse was awesome and nothing can replace the junk people threw on there, to see what I am talking about see "Miiverse gone wrong" on YouTube. I miss the funny loading noises and the update music.
Both are radically different systems with different purposes in mind. Playing Wonderful 101 on Wii U is still better to me because I do not like how they have handled the port. On Switch you get the better media storage, faster load times and portability but the regular Switch just seems so.......... alien.
The thing people never really draw attention to is playing these games on Wii U is still a very different feeling to playing them on Switch. Switch is just not what Wii U was and I accepted it and now keep my Lite sleeping beside me. They can bring all the Wii U games they want the systems are still completely different in feeling.
@sixrings Dude seriously stop trolling. No system gets every game. Switch has Neptunia, Steins Gate, Dragon Quest, Senran Kagura, Trials of Mana. Then it has later installments of Blazblue and Xbox One has none of those.
It even has DOAX3 which is a series which started on Xbox.
You pick a system to play and you get what you are given. If you sided with something which does not fully match the tastes you are into that is your own fault. But do not sit there and act like third party support is bad on Switch because you could not be more wrong.
I think it is doing Respawn good to learn developing for handhelds. Making only for similar spec consoles makes them lazy and they start taking things for granted whereas including a tablet in development shows they have more skills and are willing to adapt to other areas when needed to.
This was legitmately some gobsmacking stuff. If anything proves the developers are not calling the shots and every single political, personal or technical 'problem' gets ignored when money comes on the table this is it.
The consumers sided with Switch and EA actually kept their word for once. It is the gamers, not the developers, who decide where the games go.
I honestly think Nintendo is funding some of these ports (at least on the marketing side). The fact that these come out at the exact same time cannot be a coincidence.
The only thing the majority of Switch owners will want from EA is the same thing everybody else has been asking them for. Remasters. Unfortunately, EA only specialise in monetising the poor uninformed casuals with loot boxes. I wonder how many times EA can:
1. try and force the market to do their bidding 2. misread the market and how gamers play games 3. keep closing developers
before they start to feel the sting that their toxic corporate practices and greed is causing them.
I come from the future. Your PC may struggle with this now but in 10 years there will be a handheld system which you can use on the train to play the game. I swear. You have to believe me.
@Anti-Matter The publishers would always go with the cheapest possible cartridges no matter how much they drop the prices. Mortal Kombat 11 proves this.
"We insulted a corporation, a system and an entire fanbase because we actually expected out half assed ports to sell on Wii U and we thought Nintendo had lost all their relevance because Wii U flopped".
The truth is they were to blame for their failures as a whole and they never want to admit it. Putting games on Switch would require them proving to Switch owners their games are worth the time and money so they can only blame themselves if they fail on here.
Their employees gloated above everybody and ran before they could walk and its come to bite them in the backside.
I just laughed. I seriously started to think Nintendo forgot their own blood should take priority. Terry was the blandest character in this pass by far and I am so glad they made amends for it.
Alex Ward left the company because they didn't press enough discs on Wii U. Developers have anonymously spoken about the trainwreck that is Frostbite. Its funny how the apologists come running in blaming Nintendo but how about EA made a trash engine which is difficult to scale? Developers are starting to hate EA in the same way gamers do.
Switch is selling perfectly fine without EA so it clearly doesn't need them. They are losing their control and as soon as loot boxes get wrecked their revenue will topple. They remind me of Sony in 2007 "the suckers will buy anything we put out! ANYTHING!"
Its depressing to know a freaking software publisher is actually more arrogant than the leader of the giant enemy crab.
The excuse for Ridley was bull the entire time and the ground based combat in the new Metroid just further proves it. How people can give Sakurai a free pass for completely inventing moves for Wii Fit Trainer but continuing to bellow Ridley is too big I'll never know. Ridley should have been in way above her. Same for Dixie.
@electrolite77 If a system doesn't pose a direct threat to your business you don't need to pay to lock it away. How many people own XBox in Japan? This wasn't a Switch scepticism thing because otherwise they would have at least localised it for 3DS.
You seem to be thinking the exact same thing as me (that this is MH related) and if Sony hadn't have paid anything it would have at least come to 3DS last year.
The World being on XBox thing has been the most frequent example but Microsoft paid to delay PS3 releases and not PC releases last time. They pay to threaten their biggest competitor when they deem something irrelevant.
@electrolite77 You know what I'm talking about. That exclusivity deal Sony made with Capcom to drop Monster Hunter from Nintendo. You know the deal that people claim doesn't exist even though World was pretty much marketed as a PS4 exclusive, had a PS4 exclusive bundle and branded with one of Sony's games for exclusive content but money didn't change hands they say.
So what will the Sony journalist/fanboy apologists come out with if it is World? Let me guess You'll still insist it wasn't moneyhatted and shift the goalposts to "oh but they thought Switch would fail"
LMAO! Sony is turning into Microsoft this generation.
Hey Reddit you probably can't see me since I'm posting this on Nintendo Life but remember that you deleted my thread for saying they had the original LM on 3DS. I'm not posting on that hell hole ever again. I'm vindicated.
Miyamoto did say they had it on a 3DS prototype. I just can't find the article where he said it.
@The_Mysteron A handheld Switch would just be out for a certain group. Granted it wouldn't take off like the default model but it would be ideal for those who want a cheaper alternative without the added HDMI, dock or plastic grippy thing.
I definitely think a clam shell model with the joysticks on the side would be most ideal for me but we'll see. This rumour doesn't say it will never happen. Just not for the foreseeable future. Assuming their sources aren't outright lying.
All I can say is Nintendo is missing out on a big opportunity by ignoring the desire for a more compact Switch. At this point I just want a HDS because Switch is not feasible enough to carry around in my pocket.
Oh god don't do this to me. Seriously. I know EA are releasing Switch games and everything but that doesn't mean this is coming and it didn't have loot boxes so this can't be real.
@MegaTen I hope you're right. I've been trying to pre-order it since August and even called them out on Twitter. I'm not the only one to have been told this though.
@MegaTen Not over here it isn't. People have already confirmed it with Shop To. Go on Game and Amazon UK. You still can't pre-order. It hasn't been ruled out for the future. Also let me say: Street Fighter at £40 was a rip off and an attempt to sabotage the game.
I hope Capcom start taking Switch seriously now and stop trying to sabotage their releases. If you live here in Europe you aren't getting a hard copy of Revelations unless you import it.
@1UP_MARIO I misunderstood your comment. I interpreted it as Sony systems. Even so your comparison is flawed because you are referring to times when Sony had no viable competitor in the console market.
A lot of people keep saying they aren't scared of X but I don't believe them. The hype for 4K gaming is real and they aren't going to stand back and watch. During the PS1 and PS2 days they had reason to keep systems around but the thing is Microsoft is a genuine threat to them in the console market.
@1UP_MARIO Back in the 90s we were upgrading our systems every 4 or 5 years. It isn't too early. They might have had long life cycles in the past but with X stealing hype from PS4 they don't have a choice.
Also trying to pretend Vita didn't exist doesn't get you points either. It existed and didn't have the long life cycle others did. Therefore you are wrong anyway.
I can see through their lies. Sony is moneyhatting because they are scared of Switch selling in Japan.
All this "oh yeah exclusives and Blu-Ray" PR. Accusing Nintendo of moneyhatting Monster Hunter. Accusing MS of moneyhatting everything but now you are the market leader you'll moneyhat all the COD DLC, JRPGs and marketing deals you can.
I would rather see Scorpion in Smash Bros. That is the easy way to give Nintendo fans a taste of your art and gives the majority what they want anyway. Plus its free money from licensing.
@JLPick I have read your comment thoroughly. You were doing precisely what I hate. Only EA, Activision, Ubisoft etc are third parties. Not Indies, Namco, NISA, Koei or any of the other companies supporting Switch right now. That is why 3rd parties abandonned DS, 3DS and soon Switch.
@gatorboi352 Alex Ward still didn't like how EA and Nintendo treated the game. He even said that is why he left them on Twitter. He complained at the release date, price and the limited printing it got.
If EA weren't sabotaging the release why does he imply feud behind the scenes. In this case feel free to blame the fans.
With Wii U it wasn't those owners specifically. No group would be stupid enough to support the games that were obviously being sabotaged.
@Link41 You realise that Fifa is one of the 3 games in the UK where the line goes outside the store right? Smaller market or not Call of Duty and Fifa are the biggest sellers here.
@electrolite77 Elaborate. I said if Wii U is an unprecedented partnership it should have got the best Fifa Nintendo fans have ever had and not the Switch.
Pinning blame in certain circumstances is true but blaming Nintendo fans for EA's Wii U car crash is an outright lie.
@gatorboi352 Dude literally EA's leader stood on the Switch stage and said "this is the best Fifa Nintendo fans have ever had". After the talk of the unprecedented partnership.......... shouldn't that have been the best Fifa?
Nintendo fans might be to blame in this case but don't pin the blame on us for what happened with EA on Wii U. Fifa 13, Mass Effect 3 and Need for Speed is ENTIRELY on them.
@Grumblevolcano I swear I hate where people do that. Every publisher outside the manufacturer is a third party. Saying Activision, EA etc are the only third parties is just inflating their egos. That is why I found that Respawn developer's comment so insanely ignorant.
I expected this. There was never any indication of a paradigm shift for those gamers on Switch. 3DS and Vita owners upgrading to Switch doesn't mean fans of AAA games will.
