Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

Yeah, the Wii-Wii-U was really the only generation where they just kinda made it better but kept the same "idea".

I would ask "what more could they do different?" but it is Nintendo, they are quite creative.

Well, they could say fuck it and try to put a bullet in both MS and Sony who have fucked up a lot and do the following:

- Modern, powerful hardware
- good controllers
- Good user friendly online and store
- A remake of Ocarina of Time
- An Elden Ring graphical level open world Zelda
- Metroid prime 4 - maybe even with an online component
- Mario game
- a FromSoft exclusive
- another big time timed exclusive
- a subscription service with a serious retro library with the best filters and presentation options to full recreate a 1985-2000 experience
- Lean into indie developers who are making games, particularly those that are homages to your days of yore
- Nintendo game deck that you can buy separate that allows you to game on the go if you want

For the Boomers - Blu Ray drive and switch slot. I use my PS5 as the multimedia machine in my gaming den. Replace it Nintendo.

None of this is going to happen and I’m pretty sure if it did it would $1500 and nobody would buy it.

Let me know when they release their PS4 Pro level console so I can play the next beautiful but just slightly underwhelming graphically Zelda game.

Don't care what specs they claim for it (betting on 1080p for portable, and it's not going to do 4K30 docked), they can go fuck themselves for going back to a non-OLED screen.

They do now, have you seen how many hentai girl games they have on the eshop? luylzulzulzuzluz

now some guy is saying nintendo will not announce switch 2 this month but instead a new switch oled model bundled with mario wonder



that sounds way more like nintendo tbh, scam customers one last time

I'm kind of glad they're supposedly doing that. Makes it easy to hold off until the first hardware revision to include an OLED screen.

I guess, provided there isn't an Atlus exclusive or a new entry in the Trails series before that happens. I've barely even used my Switch this year, and the games I did play like Star Ocean 2R and Unicorn Overlord could easily have been gotten on another platform. Even with Trails I could buy the cart (I've collected the whole series on Vita/Switch because they have tiny print runs and prices go through the roof after a while) and just play it elsewhere.

Still think it's pretty damn retarded to go back to a shit tier display. Knowing Nintendo they'll go back to a plastic screen too.

I just can't imagine Nintendo making Switch 2 be a smartphone update version of switch 1. But we'll see.

it seems they're happy with their (very large) niche of underpowered consoles that have most of the best games, even if their visuals look like ten year old systems.

Yeah they are, it makes WAY more money. Nintendo's operating profits are larger than MS and Sony's console divisions combined. The margins on the Switch are stupid compared to what it would be with cutting-edge components. Check the vertical call-outs: 25% vs 7% for Sony and 12% for MS. They're not changing anything about that strategy.

I've either owned a playstation or xbox and a nintendo console for a long time. They're winning and I'm part of the problem. I do usually skip a console though. I skipped the Wii U until it could be hacked. I mostly skipped the N64. Skipped the non-oled switch.

That said, nobody's getting money from me until I upgrade my POS computer that hasn't been upgraded in 8 years.

Sat browsing an auction site and saw a DSi XL for $49. Threw in a bid and forgot about it. Seems I won it. The Steam Deck was not a good DS emulator so glad I got the DSi XL for some Dragon Quest playthroughs.

Should arrive in 2 days. And it seems very easy to jailbreak for playing ROMs. Anyone know a good source for DS roms?

IDK If we can link ROMS on here just google Vimm's. Never had a problem there.

edit. apparently they lost a pile of titles though mostly Wii games and such. if you cant find somehting google "/r/roms megathread on github". You will need an Internet Archive account to DL from there usually (its free)

Nintendo are such retards. If they abandon a system it should all be free for all to share.

I found a site that was not AIDS with ads and popups just now. Got some classics downloaded like the Pheonix Wright , Fire Emblem and Pokemon games. Also all the Dragon Quest for NDS.

who knows if real or fake



“This is brand new info from a Chinese forum poster who didn’t have an insider track record, therefore the following is strictly for fun and giggles. Switch 2 production has started in [somewhere in China, which I don't want to translate] 1000 units per day [Edit: This is one worker, not the whole line.] Slightly larger than Switch 1 Smaller bezel Black and white Joy-Con Slightly larger logo, with “2” on the side”

they are cranking them out though at that rate will be 5-10m easy in stock by the time it launches next spring

the bundle nintendo will be pushing this holiday is to clear out all the switch 1s

looks basically like switch XL

Man if that's true and that's all there is, really disappointing. I was hoping for something interesting out of Nintendo to shake up the console market and this looks like literally just "slightly bigger switch". I'm sure graphics/specs/blah blah and that's fine but not what made Nintendo stuff stand out.
