Gaming Backwards compatibility is a "must"

[grossaffe]

Ok......but check it, when did i EVER say that wii u emulation was a sure thing? I clearly spoke on nes snes n64 adamantly so idk WHY youre making it seem like im campaigning for wii u emu i never full stood behind the shit cuz i do know (despite ol boys opinion) about nintendo systems i might not have a degree for the shit but ive played Nins since i was 5 so i have a rough knowledge base of them.

Perhaps it's because the people responding to you aren't detracting from the possibility to emulate NES, SNES, and N64, but rather your statement about playing Wii U games, and yet you keep bringing those consoles up in your retorts to people saying Wii U isn't happening. Also, now you're equating playing Nintendo since you were five to having an engineering degree? This is exactly the type of thing that makes people dismissive of you.

So ill say it AGAIN for the mentally impaired NES SNES AND N64 SHOULD BE POSSIBLE OUT THE BOX WITHOUT ANY UPDATES BUT WII DS AND WII U MAY WORK WITH AN UPDATE THAT ENABLES THE FUNCTION. Damn yall gettin titty twisted over some shit yall not even gettin money for tho.......relax

So you get your panties in a twist for being called 'kid', and then you proceed to call people mentally impaired because you think they don't understand what you're trying to say. Also, posting a rant in all caps followed by telling everyone else to relax. Bravo, kid.

@grossaffe
Look lil dude you can have your degree but either way you referred to me as a "kid" like that gave you power which was wack as hell so provide an original astute observation and dont ride coat tails of someone i originated the conversation with. Im very intelligent so dont try and make me look dumb because you can imitate a high and mighty internet douche with no life. I stated my opinion in a respectful manner which if i was wrong then fine but you wanna name call? Yeaaaaa its pretty obvious whos more mature here. ANYWAY like i said if youre not spittin facts my way or working for Nin directly and just wanna go back and forth speculating about some shit you aren't even building lol then be my guess son.

If you have to tell people you're intelligent, you might not be as intelligent as you think. Frankly, I'm not all that interested in what people's actual ages are on here. The beauty of internet forums is that you can avoid prejudices and instead be judged on the content of your posts. Of course, some may find it a curse more than a blessing.

You claim not to care anymore, yet you continue to lash out like a petulant child.

And yes, I do have superior wisdom over you on this subject. That's kinda the purpose of school; learning. And this is the subject I studied. Oh, right, but you played a Super Nintendo when you were little. Never mind, your credentials are more than a match.

Hopefully, Nintendo won't fail with this. Judging by the video, I'm not super excited about the idea, but I've been a fan of the Big N, since the mid 80's. Had there been any talk about BoW and the graphical differences between Wii U and Switch?

I don't think so, the trailer was recorded on Wii U I think.

Thanks...that's what I was hoping. I think I'll stick with the Wii U for a while. I still have a backlog of about 30 games to play before I'm ready to jump into a new system.

If you can't admit that emulating a wii u on a portable console is totally impossible in the near future, then you are a total idiot. Why don't you do some calculations on how many teraflops you'd need and how much heat that'd produce. oh wait, you can't, because you are an idiot. Do you even know what flops, watts, and transistors are? You are also acting very immature. So you are an immature idiot. We don't need a degree to see that either.

Please stop polluting this thread.

No.

There won't be official DS support because they want to keep the DS series alive.

And holding the console vertically wouldn't really work because the Joy-Cons would be on the top/bottom.

Not sure why you are treating this like it is impossible.




The DS VC isn't on the 3ds nor can you play DS carts directly on the Switch. Simply having DS titles on the Switch, isn't going to kill the DS series. In fact, depending on how successful the Switch is, it may kill it regardless of DS Virtual Console.

For long I considered the term "Nintenyearsold" offensive and stupid. First of all, most Nintendo fans are not kids, and also ten years old are not normally brats as the term implies.

But many threads like this one, and a recent comment from @VinsCool on my profile page, made me realize that "Nintenyearsold" doesn't refer to the actual age of fanboys, but to a mental regression disorder where people go back to a five years old* state of themselves becoming unbearable brats that don't give a fuck about reasoning and just try to force their dream world as reality hiding behind a primal hooligan-like group bullying behaviour.

Hell, I should start accepting this reality already, I mean the existence of the Nintenyearsold condition.

* To be more accurate of the observed mental regression, the term should actually be "Ninfiveyearsold", but that wouldn't work as a pun.

fat, big portable
To me, that only thing that is a 'must' is selling the masses the concept of the Switch tablet itself: the fat tablet. Sure, some might not even want to use it as a portable so they will use it docked. No problem. But those that want a portable? Pretty tough sell, I think. Probably not taken further than the couch for most people, I think. The Switch can keep the TV free when going portable. A good thing for family relations, I suppose.

The fat tablet will be what millions of eyes will be seeing next year as it hits the stores. It will be the thing that either excites them or makes them shrug and turn away. Local multiplayer without fuss is always great. Buying one game that works on both portable and Home is good too. But will the compromises be worth it? Will they pull it off? I have some doubts about the perceptions of this machine, both as a 'portable' and as a weaker 'home' console than the Big Two. Nintendo can of course compete with its traditional weapon: low cost of manufacture, to prevent burying itself in debt. I bet we will see a Home-only version some years in the future too. This should be so cheap for Nintendo to manufacture compared to what Sony & Microsoft have now.

playing older games on Switch
Having older games play on this thing is a unique selling point for Nintendo. It's simply another way they can say they are different to tablets and phones & it would help sales for sure. Especially now they are really targeting the gaming fan rather than the casuals. The more unique advantages, the better. It makes sense to continue cashing in on nostalgia. Physical backward compatibility was successfully used to fight off competitors in the past, but I think it's far less needed today. What Nintendo needs to fight off today (with the Vita basically dead) is bad perceptions of the Wii/Wii U situation. Bad perceptions brought on by their own desire to save money on graphics grunt and their lack of third-party support for Wii U. I think this is their ball-and-chain now.

I think the typical user will be extra cautious when buying Nintendo hardware today (due to the above). If Nintendo don't deliver, I think this might be Game Over. A massively shrunken and more focused Nintendo company might be the result.
