Support NeoGAF

[Fahdis]

Sell to Microsoft.

 

[Dacvak]

Ah, weekend GAF has arrived!

 

[FStubbs]

like increase the price of already out of date hardware by $50 cause reasons and i ll not even talk about the increase of a 10yo piece of garbage.

What hardware is modern, mobile, has battery life, and $500?

 

[_Ex_]

Publish some killer Nintendo IP exclusives that actually cater to gamers instead of casual garbage.

TBH I don't think there's much they can do differently.

Nintendo's popularity ebbs and flows over time. GameCube and Wii U had killer lineups of first-party games and they still sold like shit. I think that sometimes people need to miss Nintendo for a while and then come back to it.

So, I hope they play the long game and keep making quality games. Don't panic and chase trends if Switch 2 doesn't do as well as Switch 1

And FFS don't make all their games with toddler level difficulty.

Nintendo should find a way to make SW1 relevant with a cost effective price. Perhaps a new SW1 SKU and backwards compatibility for the next Mario & Zelda.

Sounds like a cop out but the lower SW2 forecasts and price are not good for momentum.

Jesus fucking Christ some of you have brain cells in the single digits and shouldn't be allowed to make threads

 

[Bonfires Down]

Not much to be done about the price of hardware. I'd bundle Donkey Kong or Mario Kart or Pokopia with that $499 price though.

Not much to done about first party software in the short term either. I'm sure they have new installments of all the big franchises under development.

I'd just make sure third parties have whatever they need to develop Switch 2 ports or upgrades from Switch 1 games and make their lives as easy as possible.

Here's a novel idea: release the next 3d mario game... And how about a real direct?

 

[falconhoof]

Pilot Wings

- A full on rich island to explore perform stunts and feats of aerial action
- A flight school full of characters presented in a sort of Mario Golf style narrative.
- Masses of course across the island
- Lots of different vehicles to pilot
- Courses that require hoping from one vehicle to another
- Multiplayer (co-op and competitive)

I guess they kind of attempted the open space map with Mario Kart and that was not it. The place should truly be a playground home for all the antics of the game allowing for some high skill courses.
Just Cause comes to mind as a playground of fun, as does GTA Online, I had a lot of fun playing that with friends and making up our own challenges to compete over, or do co-op like getting a group to all land motorbikes on to a passing train without knocking each other off.

It needs:

• StreetPass.

• Back buttons.
• 3D.

Edit: Ah, I missed that OP is a Nintendoomer. Bore off OP.

 

[StueyDuck]

Your mom.... hayooooooooooo

But OT: something new, theyve not really been able to add to the staple of characters since splatoon, stop trying to make old franchises work, unless your willing to go all in.

The punchy people were forgotten, the ring fit crew are forgotten, I dont even know what wheelchair peeps ate meant to be.

Time to build a new successful franchise with iconic characters on a new gameplay idea... similar to splatoon

 

[Zuzu]

I want Switch 2 OLED asap

 

[Windle Poons]

Gotta be time for all the Mario games to be re-released again surely?
