Smash Bros had discounted cross buy prices for the DLC. I think that struck a good balance. However if the NX is a console/portable hybrid, we shouldn't have to worry about it.
Realistically, I think a faster OS and a change in Nintendo's YouTube stance is enough of an upgrade. The games are there with the WiiU already. Also maybe some 3rd part support, but I don't really care about that. PC haha
@BlueAndGold Trying to figure out what you're saying exactly here. Home consoles that output 1080p games to a 1080p tv screen are 1-to-1 pixel ratio. Games like Shante or Shovel Knight are 1-to-1 on the 3DS and look great because the pixel art looks great on the low rez 3DS screen (400x240, 800x240 if you count the extra needed for 3D but you cant really see those pixels). Super nintendo was 256x224 which is barely different then the 3DS (if you chop off the 3DS's widescreen). Playing GBA (240 × 160) or DS (256 × 192) games on the 3DS needs to be done in a window to maintain proper pixel ratio (otherwise the original art is modified).
The WiiU gamepad has a resolution of 854x480, but still plays games of higher resolution well because the screen is so small, the pixel density is higher than a large 1080p screen.
Mainly I would like to see cheap, one off handhelds for playing individual games of DS quality; kinda like tamagotchi but more advanced since technology has gotten better and cheaper since those first came on the market 20 years ago!
I love this idea. Game & Watches with the quality of a pokemon R/B or yoshi touch and go. Admittedly the profit margin would be smaller than a digital download, but I think there will always be a market for spritebased games on a low rez screen with 1-to-1 pixel ratio. I dont think shovel knight looks (or plays) nearly as good on a high res screen as it does on the somewhat low rez 3DS.
I loved thousand year door! the paper airplane one was just too easy and not as funny. I hope they put in a hard mode; even if its locked behind amiibo dlc, then i am totally in! This looks gorgeous.
Ps3 was out for 7 years before the Ps4 came out. If the NX comes out at the end of 2016, that gives it 4 years of dominance/best quality ports (other than PC) so long as it doesn't have some strange architecture driving away third parties. Also, there's the worry that Nintendo games are so good, that the third parties don't want to compete on the system. I actually think this was a big problem with the WiiU, especially in its early formative year or so. I would not be surprised by this rumor at all. Maybe it'll come out later and be a collection of the episodes.
So stoked! Now with this out, I may not need to keep my Gamecube (and GBA player) hooked up any more. I'll just play my gc games on the wii. Its probably too late in the cycle, but maybe strong sales will encourage a Final Fantasy Tactics A 3(D)...
I voted for Ryu from streetfighter! (and Ken, Chun Li, Blanka and E Honda would be great too but unrealistic)
but also ones that would be great (most mentioned already): Simon Belmont the Ninja Turtles Bayonetta (seems reasonable) Toad Boo (doesn't quite make sense though) Solid Snake Raiden (MGS4 version) Wart (Mario 2) Inkling (could be a thing, saw Splatoon in person at wondercon yesterday, looks great) Luke Skywalker a million others
