NINTENDO SWITCH OUTPACING PS4 !!!
DEVS SHIFTING ALL PROJECTS TO NINTENDO SWITCH !!!!
https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2017/03/31/the-nintendo-switch-sold-more-at-launch-in-japan-than-the-ps4/
>In short, it means that the Switch has gained enough sales momentum to likely give confidence to Japanese third-party publishers to further invest in the platform. Considering that Japanese games still sell globally, this in turn means that the Switch’s gaming library will no doubt increase in the coming months. With new projects announced off the back off of these launch sales.

>>59807657
Aside from Zelda, I'm only seeing Android games on the Switch right now.
Where's Mario Kart?
Where's Super Smash Bros?
Street Fighter, Tekken, Metroids
Right now it's not worth it to buy this console unless you really want to play Breath of the Wild.. and even then, the game works fine on Wii U so if you're a Nintendo person you probably have a WiiU already
So.. if sales are any indication of a Console's success, I'm not seeing it in the games yet
>>59807657

nintendo isnt even an option to most aaa devs
also fuck off to >>>/v/ with your broken down fisherprice shit
It's happening!!!!

2013 - Sony steals BSD
2017 - Nintendo steals BSD!!!!!!!
Oh wait, it isn't happening because none of these companies are ever going to give anything back
"yoooo more ppl stealing it means we win :))))"

Nope. Doesn't run BSD. If you look at it it doesn't look like BSD at all. It's still various services doing things and some syscalls. It's similar to the 3DS's microkernel OS.
Haha, cool story man but HOW DO I FUCKING BUY ONE SINCE IT'S ALWAYS SOLD OUT?

It just uses the TCP stack from BSD, it's has nothing else from BSD

It's awful enough to be seen with a 3ds in public, let alone a fucking switch
Nintoddlers are cancer, it's no wonder the ones who aren't children are lonely forever virgins. Concentrate on your own improving lives instead of living vicariously through some nip company who wants to sell you the same game fifty times

Isn't it a piece of trash?
I would tell you to fuck off to /v/ but hey, you know, I would be happy for them if they actually put devs into their sack for -once-, they haven't done it properly in a fucking decade. What that little piece of shit needs is dev support to counter the fact that it's underpowered hardware, and probably a price drop as well because that thing is damn expensive for what it is.

Not you that's for sure.

I don't really play games, and those girls are all laughing at you, if you really interacted with women you'd know they have no interests with men who play children's games and yes whether you like it or not women generally differentiate between the kiddie games and the dudebro games

Question time: Which one of the guys on pic related are more likely to get laid?
>>59808270
Somehow R manages to be more cancerous than 4chan, probably because of karma whoring. I'm horribly addicted to it even though I've grown to despise most of the community.
As for those "ugly" gamer girls, I actually have a thing for them. ;)
ANYWAY, to get this back on fucking topic, has anyone managed to run homebrew on the Switch yet? It's based around a Tegra so it shouldn't be too hard to do.
>>59808322
>I have a thing for ugly women

All I know about that place is they provide lots of info and streams etc, I see them posted here all the time, and lets face it 4chan wouldn't help you if you're drowning. I'd check it out based on that alone but I don't want to deal with more circlejerks
Just don't kid yourself into believing the loner gamer girl types are any more virtuous than the aaverage girl. They're far easier and more desperate to get laid, not what I'd recommend for a long relationship. As long as you know that then enjoy, hate seeing guys tied down to women like that
>>59808376
It's reality, you can deny it all you want but it's the truth. I hope you're a teen, don't even mean it in a bad way. Women have little interest in men with those hobbies, even worse when it's kiddie stuff
I know a guy, he's been searching for his "waifu" since he was a teen, he works as a developer and is a typical nintard. Lets just say in the real world women don't go for that sort of thing, but nothing snaps him out of it
>>59808425

This is the only PC gamer reality

That's basically the same thing.
>>59808425
You're quite desperate to defend PC gaming after being BTFO. Girls love mobile gaming and HATE PC anything.
Have you seen the fan base for the Nintendo DS and 3DS? Half are girls.
Go sit in your dark lonely corner playing DOTA2 against 12 year olds.

I don't give a fuck about video games, but you clearly do, even your mom is just pretending she's interested
>>59808476
See
>>59808482
Girls like candy crush and phone games, stop pretending you interact with women on anything more than a friend level
Being this defensive over a nip video game company should be a clear sign you're ill
>>59808476
You realize that most of those girls are also around 12 years old, do you?
>>59808481
Sooner or later you will be, it's natural
Find yourself a good girl when you're older and know that a lot of shut in girls have serious issues, if faithful is what you want a lot of those girls are easily swayed into fucking even they're married, gamer girls are generally to be avoided

I have serious issues too. Why else would I be posting here at the ass crack of dawn on a Sunday?
I'm sure this will come back to benefit you guys in the BSD community. I'm sure Nintendo will upstream some sour- Oh wait no they won't because you retards let them just take your code with no commitment to make upstream better.
Sony sure upstreamed a lot of stuff from the PS3 and PS4, didn't they?
Good job retards.

>>59808642
The NES' triumph over the crash of 83/84 had long-term implications. It made Nintendo practically synonymous with video games here. Meanwhile, Japan never really went through a crash, and Europe had a stronger home computer gaming scene.
>>59808665
>fox and the grapes
The Nintendo isn't made out of unobtanium. It's 350 euros and half a week of shipping away from my door if I want it.
i would think /g/ would be hype as shit for this thing to get hacked.
>>59808665
>If I accuse them of damage control they won't notice that I'm in damage control.
>>59808672
Nintendo probably shipped 3 units to your countrylet
>>59808686
Why? It's just a tablet with shitty battery life and a controller.
>>59808686
Aside from piracy what exactly is the benefit of hacking a console in this day and age?

Step up your game.
>>59808698
The battery's pretty good when it isn't running full fledged console games and even then it still lasts over 2.5 hours.
>>59808712
Emulators, customization, homebrew, stuff like that.
>>59807694
More Nintendo IPs will come to the Switch in good time. They've more or less been planning to not do everything all at once, so as to keep people interested.
>>59807759
>steals BSD
They original BSD is still available for use. Nothing was ever "stolen."
>>59807890
I've seen plenty of people in public with 3DSs, including quite a few women. There's nothing wrong with it. Quit being a major autist and judging people for having different tastes than you. In the real world, nobody gives a fuck.

>>59808739

Mostly this. Playing SNES games on my Wii is comfy.
>>59808739
Who cares about all this stuff? There are probably dozens of systems better suited for emulation than a flimsy tablet with no dpad and shitty battery life.
Homebrew is also a joke, wow I can't wait for the millionth doom port.
>>59808776
I care. I don't like locked down hardware.

The Switch is just a shittier Nvidia Shield, go buy that instead and have fun
>>59808813
I'm pretty sure it's better than the Shield though
>>59808813
Nvidia shield is inferior in every way.
Firstly it runs Android while the Switch runs BSD.
Secondly the Switch has exclusive AAA games while the Shield has shitty Android mobile games only.
Thirdly the Switch hardware will be updated every year with the latest Nvidia chips like the iPhone gets upgraded yearly.
>>59808813
Shield can't play Breath of the Wild or Skyrim, unless somehow someone manages to hack Nintendo's OS onto one.
>>59808665
>damage control
Are you retarded? You're btfo yourself with every post, proving you're a manchild
LOL the tripfag agrees with you, no surprise there
>>59808852
>>59808848
It's the same hardware, someone will inevitably put freebsd on it (which is what the switch runs)
>>59808848
The switch is using BSD kernels but the people in the scene say it's a modified version of the 3DS OS
In any case I don't see any reason to be be excited for the hacking of this device. There are so many things, cheaper things even, that can already do all that shit out of the box. I guess if you still like Nintendo games and want to pirate them it's fine. Maybe I'm just too old for this shit.
>>59808848
>Thirdly the Switch hardware will be updated every year with the latest Nvidia chips like the iPhone gets upgraded yearly.
Did they say this anywhere? Interesting if true.
Also did the switch end up running on Vulkan, having Japanese game devs all using Vulkan will help adoption.
>>59808723
>full fledged console games
You mean android tablet games?
>>59808848
I'll be honest, I'd be willing to get a Shield if I didn't have a hate boner for Nvidia. Maybe I should buy one used.
>>59808937
It would be a pretty good All-in-one. It plays official Nintendo games yet when hacked, it dual boots Android (Shield ROM) for all your Emulation and App needs.
>>59807759
>implying i want their shitty non-free code anyway
Realistically, what you'd get out of them if they practiced straight up copylefting is drivers for the specific set of hardware, and their DRM scheme (Which is obviously why they went BSD and not GPLx)
Really the biggest advantage we'd see is that we'd see hacks and homebrew on the system faster and better than before.
>steals
BSD Says it's okay
and they credit everything they use.
fuck off stallman
>>59808964
nah
>>59808968
>pretty good all in one
Not with that battery life.
>>59807926
>t. Professional PR lady specializing in video game companies
I've seen a sum total of 1 people playing the Switch in public here in Japan, and that was a kissless 100 kilo otaku virgin on the subway.
>>59808739
Even my microwave can run emulators and homebrew. The Switch is just a crappy tablet with Zelda.
>>59809008
Power Bank. But yeah, the battery life is a pretty big disappointment.
It's amazing how power hungry the Tegra is, 12W TDP for something that barely has better performance than a 4W Snapdragon 820 and much less than a 4W Apple A9X.
>>59807694
What did you expect literally a month within launch? Just having BoTW puts it in a better position than most console launches.
>>59809097
If I have to carry all that shit in my bag just for my day to day use I'll just use a phone to kill time. If I'm using it at home then I got a thousand better alternatives. That really is the problem I have with the Switch, as a console-handheld hybrid it excels at none of these two things. I guess people into Nintendo games see the appeal but from a technology standpoint it's just not that interesting. It's just a gimped Shield with more marketability.
>>59809166
no I'm pretty sure it excels at playing good games
>>59809166
3 hours is more than enough for your daily commute. Take the powerbank for long flights.
>>59809214
That depends on you finding Nintendo games good.
>>59809372
This game only got 97 because it has Zelda characters in it. It's a pretty average open world game, barren and devoid of content.
>>59809433
uh huh :)
>>59809433
So it's a carbon copy of skyrim?
>>59809675
Skyrim at least has mods going for it.
>>59809743
No currently existing mod can fix its playability though (which is curious, because Oblivion -can-)
>>59809743
BoTW at least has destructability going for it. Apparently this is impossible on Skyrim's engine.
>>59809675
Nah, >>59809433 just has sour grapes. Breath of the Wild is better in pretty much every way. What is the more likely scenario?
1. The game is actually good
2. Every single reviewer conspired to give it a high score because they're secretly fanboys
If you're unsure, just watch a lets play or something. It should be obvious within the first 20 minutes.
>>59809802
>Every single reviewer conspired to give it a high score because they're secretly fanboys
No, they gave raving scores because you can't shit on games with large marketing budgets without being left out of the pie. That's how it works for any AAA game, unless it has glaring flaws like Mass Effect Andromeda (and even then it still got a 70 which is a huge compromise for that pile of turd). BoTW is really middle of the road. I think Zelda fans are impressed with it because they haven't played any open world games in the last ten years.
>>59809802
if you enjoy the combat system and exploration sure. the plot was absolutely forgettable though and the game felt like it had no progression at all. then you get to the final dungeon, climb up the wall and find out the boss is an absolute pushover.
I'm not the other guy, and I've 100%ed everything but korok seeds, but without Zelda characters this game would have flopped.
>>59809802
I don't doubt it's decent, but the second one happens quite frequently. Zelda is the kind of series that gets a few points alone for existing, and paid reviews are a thing too frequent these days.
Also
>>59809837
>BoTW is really middle of the road. I think Zelda fans are impressed with it because they haven't played any open world games in the last ten years.
I was going to raise a similar point. The last big Zelda game before this was Skyward Sword and that left a sour taste in some people's mouths, specially with the controls. So basically it's more like a title for people who got starved of anything as decent as perhaps Wind Waker or previous titles (same as Twilight Princess, really mediocre but since it's a zelda game being quite traditional and hitting the exact same spots after some time without anything similar it's highly rated).
That said, at the same time I repeat, I don't doubt this is bad, just that it's difficult to expect this to be really a step up from what is actually expected in terms of quality.
The butthurt in this thread in a nutshell
>>59808959
Switch is confirmed for Vulkan last december. You can see it in their site.

>>59809914
>but without Zelda characters this game would have flopped
Lol, I wonder if there were people like you saying that about Ocarina of Time
Is this the Unix general?
breath of the wild is fine, but it doesn't justify the buying a nintendo switch now. it barely has any good games and most of it if not, all of them excluding botw are ports.
>>59811056
You will eventually realize you are wrong and then you will regret not getting one sooner
Wow, I didn't think I'd see this much butthurt over Breath of the Wild outside of /v/. It actually is that good. I actually would rate it as my top game of all time now.
>>59811121
why? i can get one anytime i want, it's not like they're going to dissapear and im going to cry and die for not wasting money on a portable games machine.
>>59811121
What's the advantage of getting one early?
>>59811286
You get to play right now. There's no advantage of holding out unless you're willing to wait until a price drop. But they way they've been selling, you're probably going to have to wait a few years.
>>59811356
the only game i would want to play is botw and i'm already playing it heh, i'd start to consider a switch if more weeb games come to it.
