West Texas CEO is an expert at those. You should consult him for his exclusive training.Mario...as an octopus.
I accept payment in Bitcoin and free lunches.
Sooner rather than later that be will behind some Games for Windows Live! for Windows! Pass! Live! broken but fuck you pay me Windows Appstore Plus!He's leaving them on PC, so that's something.
They are using Nvidia. It will be better than everything else.
I disagree with you statement there's no innovation left.Nintendo can get away with anything. There is really not much innovation left. Just release another set of a Mario platformer, Mario Kart, Smash Bros and a new Zelda and that's it.
Dont remind me about Brute Force. I'll never forget myself as a child obsessing over that game in the official Xbox magazine. The visuals at the time made my jaw drop. Underrated game that sadly wasn't well recieved. I really miss the original Xbox. There was something special about it that no other console had.I disagree with you statement there's no innovation left.
Yes, that's true if you're Phil Spencer Xbox Microsoft. By their delusions nothing has been innovate or revolutionary since Whacked! or Brute Force.
Remember, in case you forgot, there is no 'pro' refresh for the ecksbox while there will be a PS5 Pro. Yes, it's crazy the PS4 Pro had that much market penetration in such short time.
Finally someone who knows and understands how Nintendo works lol.Nintendo can release a bag of potatos with a Mario logo as Switch 2 and sell it for $500. Their fans would buy 4 each and would say it's the pinnacle of gaming innovation.
Nintendo doesn't need anything, it will sell because it's a religion for their fans.
They released overpriced cardboard accesories for their console that their customers even had to build themselves, reducing costs to the max. Something insulting, but some claimed it was the pinnacle of gaming and innovation.Finally someone who knows and understands how Nintendo works lol.
Yes Labo was crud why do I need boxes when I play games this was a stupid idea Nintendo needs to make goord hardware not being Inspector GadgetThey released overpriced cardboard accesories for their console that their customers even had to build themselves, reducing costs to the max. Something insulting, but some claimed it was the pinnacle of gaming and innovation.
Why make a new machine that people will have to rebuy if the games are the thing that matters, then? Surely whatever Nintendo has for their vision can be accomplished on a regular old Switch, eh?Nintendo could keep selling old arse hardware with little uplift in performance and they'd still do well. Just look at NS sales, its still flying off shelves 6 years after launch on an ancient custom Tegra X1 from 2015.
Their machines sell on the basis of their IP and high quality standards set by them. It doesn't matter if x machine is more powerful or has more features.
I also disagree that there's no innovation left, we can still explore many aspects of gaming.I disagree with you statement there's no innovation left.
Yes, that's true if you're Phil Spencer Xbox Microsoft. By their delusions nothing has been innovate or revolutionary since Whacked! or Brute Force.

Why make console hardware to begin with then?The only thing Nintendo needs is their IPs.
That's how Nintendo fanboys operate. Purely blind and not a care in the world.They released overpriced cardboard accesories for their console that their customers even had to build themselves, reducing costs to the max. Something insulting, but some claimed it was the pinnacle of gaming and innovation.
As long as Nintendo makes games like Splatoon, TOTK, Mario Kart, Super Mario Wonder, etc., they will be alright.
So they can sell you their own machine at a profit for you to play them on and make more money. It's really not rocket science lol. Out of the big three Nintendo is the most anti consumer.Why make console hardware to begin with then?

The problem with your logic is that the handheld PC market is super niche and not statistically significant as a competitor to a mass market device like Nintendo Switch. And there are console players and there are phone players, and console gaming remains relatively flat, from generation to generation, it doesn’t really ever get smaller. So this whole argument about how “phones will destroy consoles” was proven to not be a thing a whole generation ago.Probably since the N64 or GameCube, Nintendo has released considerably weaker consoles than its competitors, Sony and Microsoft. One can argue that give their release cycles and hardware approaches, they are not even competitors anymore. Doing their own thing has worked considerably well for them for the last 10-15 years.
They pioneered the hybrid handheld/home console system. But more recently, Steam Decks and other handheld PCs have shown up, offering considerably more power and the ability to install pretty much any software you can install on a regular PC. Now even phones are catching up being able to offer console-level AAA experiences.
Nintendo is Nintendo and they will always have Mario, Zelda and Pokémon, and those will always sell a ton.
But with the rumored Switch 2 having allegedly similar performance to a PS4, when phones and other handhelds can already do that, and this is not even the beginning of the generation, I'm concerned that Nintendo will have to just rely again on first party software to thrive. The difference this generation being that they have significantly more competition from handheld PCs and phones.
Hope they've got something up their sleeves instead of just a slightly more beefed up Switch that is already outdated on release.

To be fair while i do think the impact of Switch being a handheld that outputs to a TV is a bit overstated and overhyped... They did very much design the console around it. That's why it comes with a dock, and the 2 shitty controllers can be attached to the tablet and the grip to be used in home and portable mode. With PSP you sort of had to use a third party solution/sold seperate adapter, and you'd be stuck with the PSP control... which to be fair, isn't that far off from Switch when it comes to ergonomics.I think both brands get away with innovating very little at times tbh.
Even this whole Pro refresh isn't really excusive to either company. Nintendo has done that to many handhelds, Sony has done it, MS has done it etc.
So we know PS5 has a Pro, I don't see much evidence that we will see zero enhancement by MS. I don't buy that MS will just allow them to have the most powerful system on the market with no answer.
Even Switch is simply a PSP2000 outing to a TV. This is not a new concept or innovative or anything like that. Thats like me getting a laptop and handing out a HDMI cord with it and claiming I'm being "iNnOvAtiVe iN dA mArKeTz" lol Nintendo is merely doing something, that has been done before.....
The opposite is true, it's actually a tablet. It needs a peripheral to even connect to the TV.Switch is a console mainly, not really a handheld.

Just to remind people how they're creatively bankrupt.But why bring Xbox into this for one? Xbox hasn't innovated jackshit since Gears of War in 2007, they're irrelevant in this discussion.
He's criticizing the fact that Nintendo games just aren't as original or fresh anymore.
The Wii-U is a clear example this isn't true.Nintendo can release a bag of potatos with a Mario logo as Switch 2 and sell it for $500. Their fans would buy 4 each and would say it's the pinnacle of gaming innovation.
The GameCube and Wii U are proof this is not true.Nintendo can release a bag of potatos with a Mario logo as Switch 2 and sell it for $500. Their fans would buy 4 each and would say it's the pinnacle of gaming innovation.
Nintendo doesn't need anything, it will sell because it's a religion for their fans. They don't need innovation, they only need to continue milking and rehashing Mario, Mario Kart, Pokemon, Smash, Animal Crossing and Zelda.
And N64 lol, even though it games were the most ground breaking since the nes days.The GameCube and Wii U are proof this is not true.
