Nintendo Switch (Currently Plagued) - Here we shit post about the new Nintendo console, The Switch

You. Are. Wrong.

Maybe, but convenience is a big selling point for many people, and I'm sure parents with multiple kids would also like not needing to buy multiple Switch 2s for portable multiplayer.

whatever I feel like said:
And yet not even twelve hours later we get a somewhat credible form factor leak that confirms that I was right.

You mean the one proven to be fake? And I never said it was likely. Nintendo probably wants to play it safe this generation.

whatever I feel like said:
Because I don't want a Wii U 2, dipshit.

Nobody does, that's disingenuous. Even Wii U's few defenders acknowledge its issues.

Does the original Pokemon Mystery Dungeon count? There's also the Starfi games a couple months back, though they weren't translated.

EDIT;
Leaks season has begun!

The dimensions seem to be smaller too. leaks are saying size: 206 x 115 x 14mm. which is smaller width wise but longer length wise than the switch 1. Which is interesting. I was kind of hoping for a same size or a little bigger screen, but haven't found display sizes yet.

I have my assumptions/estimates:

PS4 Lv = Sony is in for hardship but they will retain the devs that demand bleeding edge graphics. Less exclusives, even timed ones, than before.

PS4Pro Lv = Sony will not retain any exclusives that are not 1st or 2nd party. Might see the writing on the wall and start developing inhouse IPs to make games out of.

Above PS4Pro Xbox One X, almost PS5/XBox Series X/S = Well within the capabilities of competent porting studios to port any current gen game and any games made from now on will take the Switch 2 in mind first and foremost. Nintendo will have enough pull to request exclusives (they will not unless they make it a Mario + Rabbids-esque crossover or an Astral Blade/Bayonetta Nintendo-funded I.P.). Sony might have its last home console with the PS6 or even the PS5 if they do not get their act together and/or the Switch 2 has a good first year. They will crawl back to Japan then and only Capcom and (maybe) Konami will listen.

I would think that Sony would be looking at portable/hybrid consoles as max performance has been reached. I think Microsoft is seeing how the handheld PCs go, they have the opportunity to do something clever like a Windows-Xbox hybrid OS but I doubt they have the ability to.

It already has, emulation isn't illegal. It's going to lead to ryujinx just disappearing because they don't have the money to fight Nintendo, if they are the reason it went down.
Unless these retards were ALSO giving out titlekeys like Yuzu.

This was 25 years ago, only a year after the DMCA was brought into law, which made circumventing DRM illegal. At the time, AFAIK there were measures in place to keep third party software from running on consoles, but there were no software locks on the games themselves. That is not the case with Switch games. So for example, a PS1 CD has no idea if it is in a PS1 or not. There is nothing preventing any device with a CD drive and the right software from reading a PS1 CD. Switch games aren't like that. They specifically run a DRM check to see if they're in a legit Switch. This is why you need those keys to run a Switch game on an emulator on your PC. If they're going to hammer developers of modern emulators, it's going to be DRM circumvention which the DMCA explicitly criminalizes. I have no idea if they'd be able to successfully argue Switch emulators by virtue of their very existence enable people to circumvent DRM, even if the developer does not provide the keys, but I think that's the angle they'd go after. I believe this is why Nintendo has been so successful at taking down Switch emulators and content related to Switch emulation and flashcarts, specifically.

Not a single one of those cases has actually gone to court in the US. Non-Nintendo-wise I think the GTA trainer one did but that wasn't about emulating. Nintendo wins its cases because ad hoc trannynest hacker circles can't afford a lawyer.

I know, that's kind of my point. If one of these projects tries to take on Nintendo and it does go to court, I think there is a real chance they will lose specifically because of the DRM thing, and it will end up opening this whole can of worms.

The drm is the title.keys, which ryujinx doesn't distribute and yuzu was on their discord which is why those retards had to pay them millions of dollars.

The DMCA states it is illegal to even provide tools for the explicit purpose of circumventing DRM. I'm not on Nintendo's side here, and I don't know that they'd win, but I don't think anything like this has ever actually been tried in court. One can make an argument that the emulators help circumvent the DRM within the software-- even if the keys are not provided-- as the explicit purpose of the DRM is to ensure the software is only running on a Nintendo Switch.

While unfortunate, it's really hard to argue that it's for archival purposes when both the hardware and games are still being readily sold. I do have my Wii U and 3DS jailbroken with games loaded on it, and I ha e emulators for older consoles, it I still had the decency to wait until Nintendo stopped selling the consoles and closed the eShop.

Nintendo continues to be the unholy manifestation of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and so on. Sony and Microsoft really can learn a lot from those fucking Japs. But since it is always a coin toss if Nintendo does well with its new console, I hope they fuck up spectacularly. Though realistically looking at it, it's probably whatever after the Switch 2 that fails.
