Nintendo President Suggests that It Might Abandon Home Console Development

[FAST6191]

Nintendo has always diversified its business: in the beginnin it made playing cards; then toys; then videogames; then... who knows?

(hint: products that increase the quality of life)

That is not really diversifying as much as switching.

Also they tried quality of life thing. We are all still laughing at the pulse monitor.

That's some top tier clickbait.

 

[Grmmish]

I read it, and regarding the "Clickbait" and the "Dark Days" note, why would they continue with home consoles if they can make the new console portable and connect to the television like Switch? If they made the Switch, why go backwards?
And as far as I'm concerned, you saying "Dark Days" is basically saying the Switch is Dark Days because it's not considered a home console? At this point, does it matter since it connects to the television and etc. nonetheless?

Now regarding, what was ACTUALLY SAID, it sounds like he's LITERALLY saying they won't make home consoles, they will make more Switch-based consoles that can go on the television and be a home console, bu MAKE SURE it can also go out. So they are gearing away from Home Consoles. (The disability of not being able to walk) because these days, why would that need to be a set back, especially since we have the Switch as proof of concept?

Either way, this post was pretty pointless... xD

Probably sick of people finding exploits

mobile devices are just as vulnerable if no more so, has nintendo made any home console or portable console that hasn't been hacked? if anything i would say the home consoles faired up better in that regard

I hope you people are joking.
Nintendo puts protection on their things because they have to. They KNOW their products will be broken apart because that is simply how people are. But they still HAVE to, even if it's not effective, even if it's not state of the art, even if it IS indeed nice security. They still HAVE to. That is not what drives them to create games, their business, their strategies or any of that. Just because their consoles get modded, yeah they will take the precaution but unless the world changes where anything they are doing is obsolete, they will continue to do what they do and just try to maybe get better protection this time. Maybe add another wall. Whatever. Still. No one is stopping their console development because of hackers. Seriously. It's ALMOST below them completely.
And I don't want to hear any stupid arguments about Nintendo taking down ROM sharing websites. I don't want to hear it and that is also off topic.

Nintendoomed. If the 3DS was so popular where is the 3DS2?

Switch = 3DS2

Considering how badly Nibtendo has done in mobile and that the Switch been selling more than Nintendo had expected about a year ago, this statement seems custom tailor made so people don't stop buying Nintendo terrible mobile games.

Seriously, Nintendo have never made a single console that could play video files out of the box. The Wii had netflix (and I presume the WiiU did too) but other than that, nothing media related. Add to that, they always underpowered their systems so don't get some of the latest and greatest titles (ala GTA) and I start asking myself why would I want another Nintendo console? The only answer is the software. What if I could just play Mario and Zelda on the Xbox or Ps4? Hell, what if I could have it on pc? Yeah I'd take that instead of buying another Nintendo console. I end up getting the 'mainstream' console alongside the 'Nintendo' console because of the exclusivity, I don't care much for the console itself.

Have you played Zelda BOTW and Mario Odyssey? Only a fool would say there's nothing 'new' happening in Nintendo games!

you mean that zelda game we had to wait an entire console generation to play and all it was, was a massive map with repetetive shrines, no story and randomised quests?

mario a similar thing, open world rinse repeat collect star and move on?

well done give yourself a pat on the back because you named 2 titles, one sucked arse, even as a zelda fan BOTW was a very piss poor attempt at trying to do an open world game.

Mario, well its always been the same shit just prettier graphics.

but regardless, nintendo are being ever more lazy on the switch porting the same old titles over to it, only the devoted fanboys are defending (as the always do), using the excuse ohh maybe you didnt play it on the wii u...... well i can get a wii u for £30 and the game likely £10..... what incentive is their to pay £280 and then £50 for the same crap ported.

you expect this from third parties since nintendo's last system again being a cheap inferior machine, coudnt run anything much more than what the PS3 could do, and theyve been there done that and its time to move on..... hence the real reason why the wii u failed, as usual lacking third party support.

nintendo will eventually go the same as sega, many of us have said this for a very long time, thats because nintendo have no care about consoles and havent done so for a very long time.

all nintendo care about is how it can market cheap old inferior hardware with gimmicks to sell.

you can walk into any game store and ask why it is that you see shelves from start of a store down to the end when it comes to microsoft and sony consoles, yet nintendo sections are just a standard rack/shelf..... says something about its lacking support.

No story.... Your either blind deaf or never played this game.

Own the game, completed within a week and boring as fuck.

Correct me if I am wrong then and tell me what story zelda had.

Tell me what story driven content it had

Tell me what else it had other than repetitive shrines

Tell me what else it had other than run aimlessly until you find something or someone that then gives you a quest that had nothing at all to do with the story or quest.

Ohh wait.

You cant sense why you gave the usual Nintendo fanboy defenses.




You dont own the game, sure that makes sense if I didn't own the game then why the fuck would I waste time stating how shit it was and fact that it's the worse zelda game period.

It's fine dude, it is your opinion. You can say a Book is just a smelly piece of paper, with ink on it.
That's great that everyone has his own opinion.

But it's not exactly an opinion when it actually hasn't got a story or anything story driven.

And opinion would be if you like Stephen king as an author or not.

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

Watch this be another one of the countless possibilities that never happened.

Yeah you're actually right. kudos out

I think they should just make handhelds as they rule in making those make a super powerful handheld and bam Profit! third party support up the ass and nintendo will be rolling in money.

If they go back to handheld, their $60 price tag will look silly to the DS/3DS market.

Just a reminder for those new to this thread, this is clickbait. Nintendo did not make any suggestion that they might abandon home consoles, Gary just misquoted him the same way several other news outlets did.
