I think my favourite part of watching the debates is look at Clinton while Trump speaks, because she can hardly contain herself. Girl ready to scream into that mic how wrong he is. Love it.

Why does everyone hate Nintendo? All of you niggas bought into Sega's marketing during the 16-bit era, didn't you?

I like competition when it comes to products I buy, so I am glad Nintendo is around. That said, they need to stop making the same mistakes (software droughts) while also making dumb decisions and not learning from them until it's too late (ex:N64 = Cartridges, Gamecube = Lack of online play, Wii U = Not being called the Wii 2 and confusing Wii owners).

They are pretty irrelevant to the video game industry other than a funny talking point

What an asinine thing to say.
Sorry, but Halo or Uncharted coming to iOS doesn't make wall street jump like Pokemon and Mario. Hell, just Pokemon Go is more relevant to gaming that literally any other game release this year. People stay trying to downplay Nintendo.

Congrats you played yourself. The biggest move Nintendo can make is to make a cellphone app. For a company that prides themselves on their hardware, that speaks volumes of their place in the industry

"I got pokemons and marrio on my phone, why do I need a nintendo nx?"

That's not on Nintendo, that's on the industry. But somehow conflate that you didn't say Nintendo was irrelevant. That's fine too.

I mean, it's not like Sony did the same thing to zero hype.

And let's also pretend that they can't leverage Pokemon Go success into NX hype. "The latest thing from the company that brought you Pokemon Go"

I think we're headed for a crash, at least where MS and Sony are concerned. Homies keep pushing harder and harder on the graphics train, ballooning up their labor costs in terms of man hours and having to shoehorn in early access, microtransactions, season passes, just to recoup some pennies. They've both shuttered a bunch of studios and their new IPs have, for the most part, failed either critically and/or financially.

At least, with Switch, devs can make games with reasonable visual fidelity and not worry too much about whether or not we can see subsurface scattering on Nathan Drake's left ear lobe.

The Switch looks exactly as rumours suggested, and that ain't a bad thing. Seems like a good step for them, and it will be dope to have all Nintendo's effort focused on one platform.

Did you get the woman with the afro, the white woman, or the heavy-set black guy that call people fuck boys? It sounds like you got the last one.

Agreed but that's why i've enjoyed what indies have been doing. Not pushing the graphics but instead focusing on story and gameplay. I wish those at the top would get that thats whats important. Its pretty much why no matter how crap a new Nintendo system seems to be, they'll never go out of business. The industry needs Nintendo.

Hasn't this always been the case though? With every new Nintendo system devs have had the opportunity to focus on other aspects and not push the boundaries on graphics, they just haven't. I suppose since this time they don't have to include a whacky controller of some kind it will be a nonissue.

What's stopped any dev at any time to not focus their energy on this aspect over any other is my question. The decrease in non AAA titles in general has been a problem for some time now.
