Nintendo Switch 2 - For the Soytendo consoomers to speculate about the successor to the Switch, recently announced for 2025.

Developers paid a 30% fee to cover console licensing and production costs, a revenue model that would later influence the video game industry for decades."

Man Nintendo was the pioneers of the 30% fee.

 

[NerdShamer]

Either it makes no difference since the devs just plate the puzzles with indestructible terrain while making the puzzles that require destruction extremely railroaded

The demo specifically lists concrete as an (normally) indestructible terrain

Yeah man Nintendo telling you not going online with modded hardware is going to lead to 1984 style regimes in JUST 3 YEARS!!!!1!

The Wii would brick if you modded it and then updated in some cases. Unintentionally but it's always been a thing. I remember them threatening to do it remotely for 3ds too.

"Dude what's the big deal? They've had a vice grip on your balls for years! What difference does it make now? Just get over it bro, I know it costs more money than ever, and the quality of their games has never been worse, and they reserve the legal right to brick your console whenever they want if they think you're modding a piece of hardware you paid for, but like, whatever, who cares? It runs Cyberpunk really well, isn't that the most important thing here?"

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

Adopt it early or don't. Whatever.

It'll have a good library eventually and you can buy it then.

Remember, two months

And the best part is that two of those were genuinely innovative for the time

hey, i can personally attest that 4 of theseDo we not like Hyrule Warriors? Those games are awesome. Some of the best Dynasty Warriors games.

The first one was great, but a bit dated. Second one did the right thing by reducing the number of clones and making the bosses actually threatening. But the plot for both of them were a bit stale, imo

@whatever I feel like What's a Famicom? I live in America.

It's the slightly older version of the NES, but it's mainly an thing in Japan

I think this is a good assessment of the Hyrule Warriors series.

But I am going to add: are we playing Zelda for the riveting plot? Are we playing Dynasty (bong rip) Warriors for the plot?

A Famicom is a NES with two extra sound channels.

Stop double posting you mongrel. Learn to use the edit functionality.

NOW YOU'VE DONE IT.

You play it just to see the joke characters do their comedy routine

Are we playing Dynasty (bong rip) Warriors for the plot?

You play to experience the terrible voice acting and the Yellow Turban guy who's LARPing as an wizard

 

[Wünderkind]

haven't cared about consoles in a loooooong time, this'll be emulatable in less than a year and is the most heeby penny pinching thing ever devised so what's the point, talk about dead before arrival

also rly good tech breakdown from one of the few good gaming tubers left on the interwebs:

Don't remember nintendo fully bricking your switch 1 if you modded it, they would just cuck you from going online which is ehh if you didn't give a shit about the shitty paid online

 

[moocow]

In saying this, I got it to work on an emulator just fine, so I have no idea what is holding up Nintendo when it seems fan projects have gotten it running.

They're trying to figure out how to swipe the open source community's emulator code to use for themselves without looking like thieving hypocrites. And probably trying to make sure it doesn't trigger their draconian brick-if-you-hack feature.

sony and Microsoft have had the same clause in TOS for generations now. This is not a new thing

They suck cock for it as well.

You'd think they'd go with adamantium or some metal. Wouldn't be surprised to hear people argue Nintendo invented destructible terrain in the following months.

Breakable bricks in SMB1 was surely an early implementation of destructible terrain, no?

A Famicom is a NES with two extra sound channels.

and a worse color scheme.

And the second controller has a microphone that almost no games use.

And both controllers are hard-wired to the system and have fucking short cords.

But hey it can connect to the Famicom Disk System if you care about such things!

 

[Calandrino]

Space Invaders did it before Mario was even thought of

Unironically neck yourself, the pre-1988 systems that don’t beige out (fucking fire retardants in the FF badge units man) are genuinely beautiful compared to a giant grey box that has cart reading issues.

And the second controller has a microphone that almost no games use.

Found the guy that got pissed playing Takeshi’s Challenge in an emulator because of the karaoke room.

And both controllers are hard-wired to the system and have fucking short cords.

They had the mindset of making the other cords longer so you could leave it on a close by table to be convenient, walking up to do everything right against the TV is a western notion.

Anyway since internet people take video games too serious I would like to announce the Switch 2 made my grandma eat a TV set and Mario Kart World threw bricks at my mom, official shit your pants order for the entire vidya subforum here, breaking news

You can especially see how good the Famicom color scheme is in my opinion on the Japanese ROB.

 

[Freelance Police]

compare this to any home console other than Switch 1 or NES (which, once again, cheated and had two years of Famicom releases to call upon)

I see you left out the multi-gen games, and thus are a dumbass who's opinions are to be entirely disregarded.

Pick one, retard.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Space Invaders did it before Mario was even thought of

I know you're joking but the chip they used did slow down with all those "blocks" on screen, which is originally why they sped up as you killed them.
