Will you be buying the next Nintendo Console?

[roysourboy]

I'll buy one at launch with one game to test it out then put it away and hack it when it becomes possible.

 

[realtimesave]

I hate Nintendo's attitude towards gamers.

• The stick drift that's never been fixed
• the DMCA takedowns
• the prices of first party games
• inability to store save games unless you pay a subscription
• Have ONE island in Animal Crossing, expecting me to buy a second switch to have my own while there is 0 reason for it to work like that?...

There's enough reasons to dislike them for what they do to customers.

But... when it comes to games?

• They know what is important to make a fun game.
• They dare to try new things (even if they aren't always successful, but i still see the potential the Wii U had, but it was too soon with the wrong hardware).

So yeah i'll probably buy a new console. Heck, i even buy their games.

But if my cartridge breaks? And i'm not allowed to just use the digital version or play my own copy of the game? Yeah i'll mod my new console ASAP

• Nintendo lets you send joycons back to get them repaired for free
• Nintendo is a copyright owner and has to protect its IP in order to make money
• Not all first party games are expensive if you look around enough or for a while
• Can't help u there, u got me on that one because u need to mod the switch to back up the saves afaik.
• Well I mean, at least he didn't mention pokemon lmao

No. The Switch is a low powered machine with not many good games for my liking. I'd rather be better off with an emulation handheld or PC to play, thanks.

I would slap u with a trout.

 

[Taleweaver]

Erm...shouldn't there at least be a "I'm undecided" post in there? Nintendo hasn't even revealed the name, let alone the launch titles.
Or the gimmick/feature that'll make this an upgrade from a switch (because of course they're not just adding horsepower).

EDIT: I also wanted to add...why would I hate nintendo for doing what they've been doing for years if not decades? Yeah, easy piracy not being available sucks, but that's pretty much a given.
Besides...Think of the audience here. I recently bought Mario kart 8 for my little nephew who pretty much breathes Mario right now. What would you expect would happen?

Alternate me: sorry, kiddo. I like how you like your Mario fix, but I don't pay money to a company that makes it hard to steal from them.


As for me? Meh...I probably won't bother. The switch has way too small buttons to be playable as an adult, and for every exclusive game I might like there's hundreds of games I don't care about.
*looks at steam deck* Now there's the good stuff: it has THOUSANDS of games I don't care about. But even so, it has more that I like than on nintendo's stuff.

Quoting myself here. Since may, I've gotten to learn/play the wii with my kid (Kirby! ).

Since the next console wil be around until my little one is around 8 (4 now), i doubt I'll somehow manage NOT to get one.

I just hope Nintendo puts actual EFFORT into the next console, and not just give us a barebones OS. Flesh that shit out like the 3DS had. Themes, Mini-games built in, and for the love of fuck, give us cameras and StreetPass again!!!

It took them 6 years to flip a software switch (no pun intended there) to allow Bluetooth audio, and that's just unacceptable. That should have been a day 1 feature at launch. Pathetic. I hope the next console also doesn't rely on SD cards again, but actually comes with decent storage. I think 256GB is a fair start given that it's cheap.

 

[Vetusomaru]

I have a Nintendo Switch and it will be probably my last console ever. Pokemon games were one of the main reasons I was buying Nintendo consoles but with Pokemon franchise now being trash I have one more reason to not buy a future Nintendo console.

 

[stanleyopar2000]

*Looks up from Steam Deck*

hmm?...shitty and overly litigious company wanting my money?......yeah. No. Not going to shame anyone for wanting to buy the next one day one, but that won't be me. "

*continues to faff about on Steam Deck*

It be better be some really impressive shit if I wanna buy it on day one.

Expect Metroid Prime 4 Beyond to be one.

Nah, think I'm done with consoles. Nintendo is out of ideas, releases almost exclusively remakes and remasters these days. Switch 2 will be easy to emulate for the few originals I feel the need to play. All their third-party ports are released on Steam two years earlier.

PCMR . I quit PSN+ a few years ago and my Game Pass sub will be expring in 10 days. I do not give a flying fuck about either both consoles are already gaining dust...this includes a V1 hacked Atmosphere Switch

 

[salazarcosplay]

With the recent news of Nintendo revealing their "next gen" console by the end of the fiscal year... one question emerges:

Will you be buying their next Console?

But wait... don't y'all here hate Nintendo?
I'm curious because... with the recent DMCA strikes, and the now standard "gamer" anthem: "iTs mOraLly cOrReCt tO pIraTe NIntEndO gAmEs", I'm wondering how many of you are actually going to keep supporting Nintendo, so y'all can show Nintendo how much you hate Nintendo.

Also, just today Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has been declared as the best selling Nintendo game ever. I guess your "morally correct piracy" isn't making that much of an impact in Nintendo...

As for myself... the last time I actually bought a Nintendo console and legit games was in 2011, when I got a Nintendo 3DS and Digital copies of Colors!, Zelda OoT 3D and Street Fighter IV 3D.
So it's been over a decade Nintendo has seen money out of my pockets.
I've missed 2 "generations" of games now and I'm very interested in Nintendo's next underpowered console.
So it's a yes from my side... depends actually on how overpriced the console is. A WiiU alone is above 700USD in my country (yes, still)...

If the rumours are actually correct, I can't wait to play Zelda Remakes running in Unreal Engine, Mario Kart with possible actual HDR, RTX, and 4K resolution, whatever Sakurai comes up with with the next Smash Bros. and definitely Metroid Prime 4.
With that aside, time has shown us that early consoles are worth more than newer revisions, and.at the same time, Nintendo's tradition to release revisions.
The 3DS alone had 7, so if we're talking about a supposed Rev-1 Console close to PS4 capabilities, imagine how good a late Rev-N console could get.

What about you guys?

Of course I am a Nintendo fan at heart. Even tho I do not like their practices when it comes to classic games. Nintendo consoles are are investments. They still have fun family friendly games.

It's not about IF I will buy the new Nintendo console, but WHEN.

I'm a big supporter of Nintendo products, so in my case its a fact I'll buy it.

Nintendo delivers, others are just copycats.

I agree

Define "gamers now".


It's because Importation taxes + Government taxes + Added Value Tax + whatever the store wants to earn as net earnings.
A Switch is about the same. XBOX and PS consoles are a tad bit more expensive.

A SNES or NES Mini Classic are 10K MXN pesos here, that's around 500 USD and really the only cheap Nintendo consoles you can get are Wii's, those are around 300 USD.
Old 3DS are around 400USD and newer revisions around 500USD.

Honestly with that money I could build a decent PC.

That's crazy, Do they still have new boxed untis that never got sold or something? Do they still have lots of crt's in mexico?

too broke, i stopped after the wii. and with online being a paid sub, despite the garbo online servers? imma pirate any console after the wiiu, but buy merch and stuff to support.

I would have loved n64 and gamecube classic

 

[JuanMena]

Kidding you not, yes, there's still plenty of boxed consoles in big department stores. I presume because they've been overpriced since launch day.
Also, Mexicans prefer PS and XBOX over Nintendo consoles. A Nintendo Mexican is indeed rare.
About CRT's, you won't find them at stores but will find them in street/flea markets and repair shops.

 

[plasturion]

No, I rather buy a Wonderswan if bandai consider to resell it again.
Future belongs to retro devices and limited systems.

Do they still have boxed GameCube controllers, from the Smash Switch/Wii U relaunches of Smash?

My parent has gotten an original nes at one point. My dad ended up selling it for beer money when he was not working.

In N64/PlayStation era. Mario (Mario 64) was what they were familiar with, because they recognized him from Mario and Mario 3.

They felt more confident in cartridge media because cd disks were prone to scratches, something they had experienced from music cd's.

We got got a GameCube shortly after they removed the digital port. My mother liked the game Luigi's mansion.

We did not get a Xbox/Ps2 because my parents had seen the my uncle get gta III/Vice city and other M rated games for my cousins. They thought all the games were M.

We did get the Wii. We did not get much play in the beginning until I modded it. Afterwards I bought my first 160 GB external drive. I felt I could finally play a video game generation the way it was meant to be played. Caught up on all I missed out on the gamecube era and played all the major wii games.

My younger brother eventually ask for a a 360 late in the cycle my mother got it for him, same with the xbox one s.

I purchased a ps3 super slim. At the time never played it much. I modded it early this year and taught my 8 year old brother about what it means for a system modded, and about why going online and updating should not be done. I told him alot of the game franchises really took off in the ps3 era, and it was important to learn about them. He very much liked the Little Big Planet Trilogy.

I ended up getting a switch near launch. never got to modding it, because my younger brothers would play too and I did not mind. The switch is the is the game where you can still play 4 player party games like Mario party, Mario land ect.

Why were people drawn to the Xbox and PlayStation over there?

Cool story, bro.

Haven't asked everyone individually, but I'll try to have this in mind after I go check if there's boxed controllers.

i asked a friend who had spend a couple more years in in Mexico then me, they were Nintendo fans, he had a super Nintendo. He had asked his dad for a n64, dad got him the PlayStation because the dad saw the controller, and did not feel confident seeing the controller.

 

[Viri]

Yes, because I'm hopeful a hack will happen. My current hacked Switch is sadly collecting dust, because my PC can emulate pretty much all the Switch exclusives. Playing Unicorn Overlord in my bed was pretty relaxing though.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I'm definitely buying as long as it has backwards compatibility with the Switch with improved framerates. Being able to finally play Zelda BotW, TotK and Pokemon on the go with good performance and not needing to rely on emulators is all I need. Although animations in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet will probably still run at 4 FPS because they're designed that way.

It might not be a day 1 purchase, but probably within a couple months after release. I got the Switch a month after release solely to have portable BotW though I already finished the game on Wii U.
If the backwards compatibility underclocks the console like the vWii on Wii U and games run the same as on Switch, then fuck you Nintendo, I might just wait for a Switch 2 emulator instead until/unless there's a release I absolutely can't wait to play.
That could make it or break it for me because I am so sick of poor performing games on the Switch and I feel like I should be able to play games on the hardware they were designed for without issues.
It should be something I could take for granted, and that used to be the case, but lately (the past generation or two) there's a trend of devs just not giving a shit about performance and designing games for hardware that doesn't exist instead of designing games for the hardware they are going to run on, which is the entirely wrong way to do game design. If you design games from the ground up with the limitations of the hardware in mind, like people used to, performance is never an issue.
Zelda BotW and TotK are large scale games and the vistas seen in those games are admittedly impressive, but I would rather have a slightly smaller scale and a better performing game. I never noticed performance issues in Zelda TP despite it having a giant open Hyrule Field. Requiring load screens between different areas of Hyrule Field as well as towns and caves was never an issue for me.
There's zero value in BC that I will never use because of poor performance, so there would be a lot less value in getting a Switch 2 if the BC isn't done right.

Am I missing something? What's preventing you from making a second user to play the game on a second save file?

 

[salazarcosplay]

Have you played animal crossing? Animal crossing creates 2 save files. A file for the game itself your town/city/island and a file for your character.

In the gamecube days 1 memory card held 1 town for 4 players. You could have multiple towns with multiple memory cards.

With the Wii/Switch 1 town shared by the users.

 

[chrisrlink]

doubt they'll be another situation like the v1 switch ever again but i'll be watching for any exploitation news

Sure, I’ll probably pick one up. Maybe an early release version in case it becomes hackable.

Nowadays the Wii U is an emulation dream, it can emulate almost any prior Nintendo console (no good N64 emulation tough), and ofc Wii U games, all can be played on its gamepad's screen in all its glory.

My Wii U is still on Morpheus arms tough, as I haven't had the time to fix it as it deserves.

The touch pad is the best way to emulate the DS games on the big screen in my opinion
