I wouldn't worry about nintendo
They were there before us, and they will be there after us.
Nintendo does not sell loss-making consoles like its competitors.
Nintendo has AAA+a, it has always been the case but in insufficient number
(Assassin creed is an AAA but multi support, would you prefer to play it on a ps4? Xbox? Or on a real gaming machine that is the PC? On the other hand, played zelda botw on ps4 and xbox, you can wait a long time)
And if I know that the exclusivities of a console e. g. on ps4 uncharted, etc....
And throw the rest away because I have a computer....
How many games are really ps4 exclusive?
Well, apart from little independent games, there's nothing...
And is it smarter to play a ps4, indie games that have hardware that is useless? Or played the indie games on switch? Stardew valley? Hollow knight? Little nightmare,limbo? Etc... Of course I play my switch it's made for that, which is not the case ps4 xbox one.

Nintendo has always had inferior hardware against the competition nothing new here
You're talking about the.ps5 or xbox From the future, but they'll never compete against the switch, it's a nomad laptop, sony didn't do better with his vita as far as I know?...against the 3ds...
Or the.wii in front of the ps3?
In short, stop believing that nintendo is a mega-billionaire company, there are a little more than 5000 at nintendo, by comparison just the sony polyphony digital studio (which only makes big turismo) are more than 600 almost 1/8 th of the total staff of nintendo, is it worth talking about microsoft?

the truth, and that's my point of view.
N64 has revolutionized the 3d platform
And pushed handling in a 3d environment where no one could compete at the time
They created the dpad for better ergonomics

Zelda botw has pushed the ingeniosity of the gameplay in the open world to its limits, not a hollow sandbox game, redundant, like 99.9% of open world games
A reference, that every programmer tries and will try to reach for years, a lesson in a nintendo way, like n64 and mario in his time
I stop there, there's still so much to say, I'm not a fanboy, just recognize the facts, the truth is good to say, good karma
You sound more like a hard loving fanboy that cant do proper research and that states opinions as facts.

Fanboy? In my life I had a game boy dmg, a super nes, a wii that's all, no gba, no 3ds, no wiiu so if it's that fanboy nintendo?? So I am one of them.
I don't care at all, I have fun hacking, I download games by the hundreds, stored on hdd, I buy some of the best ,fanboy me? Everything I say is verifiable, so it's up to you to do some research, I already know the truth, and it's said above your post.

I'm an independent developer, so apart from the PC, for me the rest are just toys.
I have passed the age of defending this or that console, nintendo vs sony vs microsoft etc....
The PC is a work tool, all your consoles are a technologically outdated piece of gold, so I play gems, zelda botw, uncharted ps3 ,the rest is to feed the pigs

My priority when I buy a console is the ease of hacking or not, then the homebrew emulators, I play 95℅ retrogaming ,nes ,game boy,snes,etc.... The rest doesn't interest me for more than five minutes.
It is the technique behind the game that interests me that I tested new games nothing else

And if you don't agree that nintendo remains one of the best developers in the world in 3d platform it's because you live on another planet, learn to program, unity, unreal etc.... Then show me your project, so I can test the quality of your camera, my coding has unity to imitate the mario camera, gave me 8 months of work ,and about 800 lines of code, and I still haven't reached the polish of nintendo, smooth without bug, with radius for ground and obstacle detection, watched mario64 the technique is great, support on the slopes acceleration double or triple jump, all of course without problem, so don't talk about nintendo or their programmer, because you are not one, otherwise you would agree with me

I wish you a good day soon

You being a indie doesnt make my opinion any less important than yours.

First, let's take a look at your past post:
Retroboy and others

I wouldn't worry about nintendo
They were there before us, and they will be there after us.
Nintendo does not sell loss-making consoles like its competitors.
The virtual boy was a loss. The Wii U was sold as a loss. It was a loss for them. The 3ds started as a loss too, to the point Iwata had to cut his salary to compesate for the loss. Hell, the virtual voy and the wii u remains their bigger failure in the console market.
Nintendo has AAA+a, it has always been the case but in insufficient number
(Assassin creed is an AAA but multi support, would you prefer to play it on a ps4? Xbox? Or on a real gaming machine that is the PC? On the other hand, played zelda botw on ps4 and xbox, you can wait a long time)
I cant deny nintendo are the best when it comes to game development, but not in all areas. Their games are fun and the majority are family friendly.

About the multiplatform titles... Well, consoles exists for the ease of use. Plug and play. That's something that million of people are still looking for. Of course gaming pc are the best platform for these kind of titles, but again, it is not the main target for most people.
And if I know that the exclusivities of a console e. g. on ps4 uncharted, etc....
And throw the rest away because I have a computer....
How many games are really ps4 exclusive?
Well, apart from little independent games, there's nothing...
This is literally a lie and you know it. The ps4 have a good chunck of excelent quality first party titles. If you ignore them well, that's your fault.
And is it smarter to play a ps4, indie games that have hardware that is useless? Or played the indie games on switch? Stardew valley? Hollow knight? Little nightmare,limbo? Etc... Of course I play my switch it's made for that, which is not the case ps4 xbox one.
You are literally saying the switch is a indie machine. That's just sad, at least for me.
Nintendo has always had inferior hardware against the competition nothing new here
You're talking about the.ps5 or xbox From the future, but they'll never compete against the switch, it's a nomad laptop, sony didn't do better with his vita as far as I know?...against the 3ds...
Or the.wii in front of the ps3?
The ps5 and new xbox will for sure affect the third party development of games for switch, since third party studios will prioritize those two consoles (and pc) and will not waste additional money on developing an extremely dumbed down version of their titles. The lape of power between those two consoles and the switch will be significant.
In short, stop believing that nintendo is a mega-billionaire company, there are a little more than 5000 at nintendo, by comparison just the sony polyphony digital studio (which only makes big turismo) are more than 600 almost 1/8 th of the total staff of nintendo, is it worth talking about microsoft?
Again, lies and just opinions being passed as facts...
N64 has revolutionized the 3d platform
And pushed handling in a 3d environment where no one could compete at the time
They created the dpad for better ergonomics
True, but then sony appeared to compete and guess who of the three (counting sega too) won that gen.
Zelda botw has pushed the ingeniosity of the gameplay in the open world to its limits, not a hollow sandbox game, redundant, like 99.9% of open world games
A reference, that every programmer tries and will try to reach for years, a lesson in a nintendo way, like n64 and mario in his time
I stop there, there's still so much to say, I'm not a fanboy, just recognize the facts, the truth is good to say, good karma
Opinion again. I can say that botw sucked ass but hey, that's an opinion too.

Thank you I prefer by far your post here, you are developing and it is more interesting than to say fanboy or troll thank you

https://www.senscritique.com/liste/Liste_des_exclusivites_Play_Station_4/246373

For ps4? There are 82 titles exclusive to the machine and once sorted there is not much left.
This is not AAA games to me, this is not zelda, mario odyssey, or uncharted4
Super stardust? Everybody's golf?,Tearaway Unfolded? Omega quintet,shadow of the best,let it die,bound,inferno climber,summer lesson,assault
follows leynos etc...., so you want me to continue?
For you these tracks do not run on switch? Or do you need a professional ps4?
Fat princess adventure? Wattam? Kill strain,Knights of Valour,Minna from Spelunker Z,Wayward Sky, come on, I'll stop there because 95% of the list are indie games, or uninspired, typically the ideal kind of game on switch, I play a little nightmare on switch, because a gtx1080 PC won't do anything better to this game, in 720p on switch it's the best experience in bed, or in the toilet, or outside
Apart from uncharted, nothing really interests me, otherwise the PC ports are better.

And I know that for you Horizon: Zero Dawn is an aaa game, yes as many they are empty, boring, hollow, musty, and especially a physics of another age, I found a comparison, typically what I think about the aaa open world games, I said above, hollow sandbox games, uninteresting, without advanced physics, the gameplay stagnates, as much played in 2d, here is where I want to come, I play 95% retrogaming, when I see horizon zero dawn, I am delighted with my choice...

As I say, I repeat, I'm a developer, when I see zelda botw, I have respect and admiration, when I see zero dawn, I see a studio pump money
Lazy developer who sees short-term profits, too powerful a shareholder? Or call of duty? Bullshit game
Long live the aaa switch games and long live the developers of indie games, because at least there is still some originality, not like most of the aaa commercial cash pumps games cod1, cod2,cod3,4,5,6,assassin creed.a.2.3.4.5 etc.....
What are these games seriously boring, always the same, the same mechanics, you go up on the tower, the map gets bigger etc.... Play zelda botw.
I play on PC, but when I play zelda, I don't need super cpu or gpu, just my switch and I appreciate the work of the nintendo developers, really the guys they ensure respect.

.. That's my point of view.

Here enjoy
Enjoyed what I think, in video....
Please watch the video to the end it's really informative.



What more do you want from zero dawn? A good physique? Or even higher resolution graphics? 4k?8k? To do what? It's exactly the same as playing at Mario 64 in 8k, it won't be better, or prettier, on the contrary, ia 3d modeling low polygon will shock even more in high resolutions, the case of 40% remake port hd, not as pretty as the original, except starting from scratch, retexture, remodeling etc....
I have a switch with zelda bought legally, and I can compare on my pc, and well I prefer by far to play nomad 6inch on my switch, than on a 42p plasma, on my pc, with texture 4k etc..... The decors are empty...compared to the native 720p

And for me, the fx of this game (horizon zero dawn), are just there to hide the misery, environmental physics really bad...
And as I say, if I'm looking for high-end fx, it's not ps4 pro, or xbox one that I need, that's what I have on my computer.
I used this game as an example, but it could be 99% AAA games, of home console games

And when I say don't worry about nintendo, I mean that.

Today, the Tokyokeizai Japanese site says it all: Nintendo has become the richest company in Japan. The Kyoto firm that we all know indeed heads the 500 most highly rated companies, selected by hand from among the 3,600 nominees.

Nintendo now weighs nearly ¥946 billion (7 of the same billions here at home, but in euros), a success due in part to the war treasure accumulated over decades by its leaders, but also to the phenomenal success of the Switch, available since last March.

Specialists are anticipating record profits in the coming months since, let us not forget, the console is still not freely available in stores in most Japanese cities.

And while there is a chemical company (Shin-Etsu) and a car manufacturer (Subaru) in second and third place respectively, fourth place is also occupied by a major player in the video game market, since Sony is the one who just missed the podium.

Tokyokezai reminds us with malice that the month of December corresponds to the payment of bonuses and other dividends in the archipelago, which allows us to imagine that employees and other investors will certainly have a happy Christmas and New Year.

So the wiiu or the 3 ds? Did it hurt a nintendo? They do not sell hardware at a loss like sony and microsoft, forced to sell many software games...
The virtual boy was a loss. The Wii U was sold as a loss. It was a loss for them. The 3ds started as a loss too, to the point Iwata had to cut his salary to compesate for the loss. Hell, the virtual voy and the wii u remains their bigger failure in the console market.
You being a indie doesnt make my opinion any less important than yours.

You're absolutely right, that's why I answer by taking time, I don't just tell you 2 words, ex you're a troll, or you're a fanboy, I respect you, I answer you, and I develop my words, if it's not a proof of respect, or if your opinion doesn't interest me? This is not the case
And you said those words earlier
You look more like a hard-loving fanboy who can't do proper research and who expresses opinions as facts.
Thank you, friend. See you soon.

Nintendo has revealed the new nes controls will not work outside of the nes classics. I got a super famicom pro from 8 bitdo. Sucks for the mainstream audience who don’t know. I could see stores such as GameStop telling parents they will work on the switch without the whole truth n try to sell them as wireless controllers for the mini. After all you can’t talk about GameStop without the words scum and lairs!

Oh No Notendo! You Nintendid it! They messed up the nes titles. Anyone else see the Nintendo faq? The nes games require a weekly check in. I could understand a 30 day check in. But weekly? That’s extreme. Nintendo must be paranoido about hackers
