Anyone else legitimately break down and cry at today's news?

Earlier this morning I felt pretty shitty about it, but there's no point in worrying until more is revealed. I'm swallowing the blue pill of people saying it's just a tactic to draw a new market into their core platforms.

>>287296287
What happened? I was too busy gaming to browse /v/.

No, but it felt like a punch in the gut. I've been playing nintendo stuff since the 80s. I own a Wii U, but I've mostly moved on to other things. I still can't help but root for Nintendo. They're like vidya comfort food for me.

Nintendo partnered with some company and their now making mobile games.

A Mobile company in Japan has been given the right to use Nintendo content in mobile games. As we as creating a more unified account system between all Nintendo platforms.

No , Nintendo is not going full force into mobile games , just dabbling a bit , and more on the technical account side of things.

More money in Nintendo pockets is good as long as they continue console gaming.
I think they can't really abandon it like that, unless Miyamoto literally dies or ragequit they have to get him his playground

Nintendo announces a new gaming system based around a new mechanic and this makes you sad? You're a faggot

>>287296762
This. Lets wait till E3 before we so completely crazy.

Depending on what happens I might new to get a smartphone now.

Why would you be upset that a company you like made a wise financial decision that will prolong and further embed their business into the minds of their users? If anyone should be crying it's all the faggots that think it's cool to hate Nintendo.

I'm actually pretty satisfied by the news. I can't wait to hear/see all the buttblasted Sonybros and Xboners.

>>287296951
Nintendo announced a two-screen handheld. Bottom screen is touch.

As someone who primarily plays Sony games, this is a good thing. Nintendo has always had good games that would mostly be better in handheld (if they're not there already), but their hardware (especially their god awful controllers barring the GC) and system infrastructure has always been shit.

Nintendo for handheld and mobile games on the go.
Sony for sitting on the couch with your buddies.
PC for digging deep into a quality game.

>>287296287
Do we really need another sticky?

>>287297175
Damn...
Shit...
Woah...

“As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business, let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept under the development codename “NX.” It is too early to elaborate on the details of this project, but we hope to share more information with you next year.”

It's a secondary controller. You lose features using it. You shouldn't have to compromise on order to not have a shit controller. The good one should come standard.

If it had offset sticks it would be the GOAT controller. The battery life alone might put it there anyway.

Doesn't matter. It's still a secondary controller. Ever system has god tier secondary controllers, sometimes made by other companies, sometimes not. It's more shit you have to buy, and the reason you have to buy it is because the controller Nintendo included with the console is fucking retarded.

Also
>Every worthwhile game

>>287297839
This, at the very least it'll be a good wake up call for stubborn Nintentoddlers in the long run. And damn do they need it, after shamelessly supporting amiibo, controller gimmicks, scalping, casualization of the main franchises and so on.

Maybe now, some of them won't blindly follow Nintendo anymore.

Honestly i'm worried about the future of the series, even before this announcement. The last game was depressingly easy.

Best case scenario, the smartphone kiddies get their piss easy games, and REAL handhelds with buttons get ones with at least a little bit of challenge. It won't happen though.

No, it would under no circumstances be better. If you want a statue, buy a statue. If you want content for a video game that's not included with the game out of the box, download it. You shouldn't have to snipe some faggot on Ebay to get extra content for a video game.

>>287299349
Yeah, but the DS was a superior console. This is just the CDi again. They're gonna make some shitty mobile games with Nintendo characters, fail miserably, and be pushed into the corner with the virtual boy and the 64 disc drive.

Fuck this god damn shit. I have allways had a powerful PC, but I've allways respected the quirky dodgyness of console/nintendo hardware, because those limitations and what not allow the developers to think outside the box to make things happen.

If every single game becomes a multiplat, it'll just become bland and no sparkle anymore. I look at the steam store page, every day there are 20 new releases all with generic names and design as the ones the day before.

That is the future we're choosing.

>>287300994

The quality of the product doesn't matter. Whichever makes more money, is what they will cater to. And considering the average intelligence of smartphone "gamers" Nintendo will make a killing off of this.

I was stunned because Nintendo seemed to generally disfavor the mobile market of games that don't appear on their systems. I am ultimately curious as what will happen to the 3DS from here on. If the new mobile games do really well then it could start to put a clamp on the 3DS.

Why would I cry about getting mobile Nintendo titles alongside a new dedicated gaming platform in the coming years? Or are you just spreading the wild misinformation that Nintendo is ditching the proper games market in favor of iOS games like an insufferable little shit?

>>287301610
The last time Nintendo announced that they'd support a "third pillar" and that it would not replace any existing systems, they immediately dropped their "second pillar."

That third pillar was Nintendo DS and the second pillar was GBA.

>Nintendo partners with mobile developer to allow use of Nintendo IPs in mobile games under Nintendo's supervision
>Iwata confirms new dedicated video game hardware in the process to let people know that they aren't dropping consoles
>He reiterates they will continue developing games as they have been and the smartphone games will not be watered down ports of existing or new console games

That's all you really need to know.
Anybody implying Nintendo has gone full mobile and is ditching dedicated hardware is shitposting/intentionally spreading misinformation.

>>287296416
So Nintendo announced that they would be replacing the N3DS and the WiiU within a couple of years, making both worthless, and you think that this will draw a new market into their platforms?

The WiiU's only been out for 2 years, and the N3DS just launched. To me, that's the sign of blood in the water.

based Nintendo they know that very soon phones will be more powerful than the WiiU.

Smash, Mario party, MarioKart will be played on phone

They haven't made any noteworthy shot since gcn / n64 days so eh, I can deal with it

I was full TUMBLING DOWN mode last night, but looking at everything now there are some entirely good things (a real Nintendo account system, possibly extending to PC gaming).
It is possible the mobile games might not be entirely shit, I don't see a problem with $5 one-time-pay WarioWare style minigame collections. I'm just worried because the mobile platform is so inherently shitty and cancerous and Nintendo isn't directly developing the games, there's plenty more potential for it to turn into microtransaction "pay 0.99 for Mario to jump higher" bullshit.
Some of the speculation about the NX is also promising or at least interesting, like it potentially being a standalone/third platform "Nitnendo Tablet" sort of thing, like a powerful WiiU controller with both touchscreen and buttons options.

More important than anything is that Nintendo is acknowledging they can't just sit on their Wii/DS/3DS money forever and are actually taking drastic action to stay relevant, which is very promising for the future if they can avoid selling their soul.

>>287296287
I seriously considered either going full /vr/ or just dropping gaming completely. This hobby is fucking dead.

>>287299349

That would be why they're dabbling in it, yeah. Lot of money involved. It's a smart move. They're not giving up on home hardware, clearly, so what the fuck is the big deal?

Is everyone in this thread retarded? You guys had a heart attack when SEGA Sammy bought Atlus, did anything happen? Hell no.
Now you all are calling doomsday over a partnership. Not a merger, not a buyout, a PARTNERSHIP. You all are retarded.

>>287302251
>announced that they would be replacing the N3DS and the WiiU within a couple of years
1. No they didn't, you fucking retard
2. Yes, every single console by every single hardware manufacturer has been "replaced within a couple years". At the absolute earliest NX will be replacing either system maybe half a year earlier than is typical, assuming it's a direct replacement to either at all.
>making both worthless
Because everyone knows once the next gen starts, the old consoles and games disappear and publishers ignore them completely.

Except, if you were actually paying attention, this is the exact opposite of what is true. They said they are more focused on consoles than ever and announced their next generation console. Mobile gaming is just going to be a supplement to what they are really doing.

Honestly, I'd rather see them try this ambitious conglomerate of the mobile and console markets and risk turning into another King.com then them recede into an increasingly shaky business model and just die. Also I keep thinking back to how Celebi had to be unlocked through japanese cell phones.

On the handheld side of things, the DS's last Pokémon games were released over a year after the 3DS came out.

>>287304581
No, but it's the logical conclusion.

3DS is pretty much done and can only pump out a few more games during these two last years it has

I wonder who to believe.

why are people acting like the NX is going to come out next year? At the earliest it'll be out in 2017.

By then the Wii U will have been out for 5 years since it came out in 2012. So a 5-6 year console lifespan just like every other nintendo home console

>>287304749
Considering how many people just ponied up money for the N3DS, I genuinely look forward to people still sucking Nintendo's dick by getting the new handheld the very second it releases, and talking about how awesome it is.

Personally, I knew that the N3DS was just a hold over until they would release their next handheld, likely in 1-2 years. Maybe that one will actually be on par with the PSP. After all, it's been a solid decade. One would think that they might get around to matching the power and ease of use of the PSP at some point.

>>287305126
Well gee, they must be stopping the production on everything else to make these new mobile games!

They want children and grandparents to buy their games-- not manchildren. They sold you out with the Wii and they're selling you out again by going mobile. They want nothing to do with you.

what they should do is make like advertisment type games on the iphone and shit that advertise their handheld and console games, IF they make the dumb descion to make real games on phones they fucked themselves because then people will just ask them to port their other real games to iphone not wanting their hardware effectively killing them

If we see more pokedex 3d's on iphone nintendo will give fans a taste of whats on their console but if they release zelda iphone edition they kill all future handheld zeldas because people will want zelda for iphone 2.

Think of their iphone games as companion apps with no specific companion game, now if I am wrong and they do make full fledged games nintendo killed themselves and get no sympathy from me

His argument is retarded for both thinking that you need great hardware to make good games and for thinking people expect great hardware from handhelds of all systems

yes, I cried for the better half of the day. Ninty basically gave our enemies in war ammunition to shoot at us, the fans. I never thought ninty would do such a fucking horrid thing. now we will never hear the end of 'phonetendo' that's what we get for supporting Nintendo so long...

but then I thought this could be a good move. it'll be hell defending ninty for the next year, but they know what is best. The mobile move will essentially make them enough yen to support even bigger and better consoles and dedicated handhelds. and then the suffering in the meantime will pay off...

its all about delayed gratification. best solution IMO... Just avoid /v/ for a year. once NX comes out the sonyggers will have hell to pay. they will be purged from /v/ and ran back to Neogaf.

so don't fret too much OP. were in it together, and Ninty always comes out strong.

>>287306695
Iwata said they're not porting shit and DeNA's press release said they're not making apps but games.

Nintendo Steam Machine

>>287307017
My argument to that is that the PSP is 10 years old. We've gotten to the point to where that kind of graphical fidelity would be very cheap, and Nintendo still hasn't matched it.

Personally, I don't care. I won't be buying their next handheld, nor their next console. Not until their VC library is actually worth a damn, and will be free to redownload on all subsequent purchases.

Yes, I will vote with my wallet, and I will vote over some of the most insignificant things.

>>287308064
It's gonna be both, it's the perfect time for it.

3DS is at the age where Nintendo handhelds get replaced.

Wii U is doing so badly that they should end it a year early.

The nintendo NX is a hybrid console/handheld that shares the same games allowing people to play where they want to whether as a handheld or console.

>>287296287
No.

Why?

Because either one of three things happen. We might start getting great mobile games. Nintendo might try and have it turn out shit, find out it doesn't work as planned and return to business as usual. Or Nintendo might love it, put out a Nintendo Steam Machine and just make crappy PC/iOS games from now on. The first would be good, the second no different than what we have, and the third no different except I could play my Steam games on the console.

CD-i

that is all

>>287296670
/v/ enjoys generalizations and expecting worse case scenario’s too much to care about something as meaningless as the truth anon.
By the way, amiibo are physical DLC, region lock is the spawn of satan, Nintendo makes the same games over and over again with no differences, and anyone that denies this does so because its okay when Nintendo does it and they are nintencucks.

>>287308402
>Nintendo giving rights for couple of games to settle a breach of contract
or
>Nintendo has to go for a new market due to their latest financial blunders
Yeah, totally a same thing

I pray that if the NX is a handheld that they actually build it to be held by human hands. If i try it at a friend's house and I can't play ti for more than a half hour without severe cramps, it's dropped forever, even if it has all the games ive ever wanted on it
also since i'm not uber-pessimistic like the rest of /v/, I'm not gonna give a fuck about the mobil games unless that shit invades the mainline games

>>287303068
>gardevoir is exactly the same
hah

>>287296416
I don't buy that, mostly because no other publisher could pull it out.

Not a single game on the core business has seen an increase in their sales from one year to another thanks to the implementation of a mobile app for the mobile market to catch their attention.

Not a single one.

The only model that works currently is to make a game and make money of it with in-game transactions.

also that classic tactic of us nintendo fans hearing shitty news and saying "ITS BETTER IN THE LONG RUN BECAUSE NOW X" (now more people will know about the ips and will want to buy consoles and that money will go into making new zeldas) is delusion.

the reason why nintendo branched out into mobile with their ips is so they can find a new place of revenue instead of working on expensive 1st party games for their traditional consoles.

i'm telling you all wii sports, wii fit, wii music, wii play, wii party selling 100 million units broke nintendo. they dont want to waste 4 years working on a masterpiece only for it to sell averagely when they spent 2 weeks making wii fit and it sold outrageously. they want another blue ocean the wii has BROKE them.

thats why gameplay and content has taken a hit in their recent games. thats why the last 3 console zelda games starred toon links/cell shading. thats why mario kart 8 was bare bones and no battle mode, its why mario party 10 is literally a wii party reskin with less maps than any of the 9 other games in the series had.

iwata summed it up himself during one of his iwata asks "there was a time where we thought the longer we worked on a game the more sales it would get, ever since the wii we now know this to be false"

>>287309373
everything looks fisherprice now, damn.

I don't get why people are forcing some form of upset status over this shit. Nintendo announced sometime in 2013 or last year that they had plans to put their IPs on mobile platforms to try and lure more people to their own platforms (3DS/Wii U being the ones in mind right NOW and for the foreseeable future, even with the announcement of NX).
All Nintendo did besides out NX being in development was announce which company they are getting help from doing this shit. Literally nothing will change other than Mario and other iconic Nintendo figures will make official, licensed appearances in mobile games.

tl;dr - Stop whining over literally nothing new.

>nitendo is bascially saying "fuck it" for the Wii U.
This annoys me the most. Do I have anything to look forward to after 2015? Probably not much, which makes the Wii U's library quite small. I can understand wanting to put out a new system to get people to buy it but c'mon, there are people who picked up your current system for a reason.

The announcement will just help to kill off the Wii U as well, since nobody is going to grab a new one when NX is coming out in a few years. 2018/Late 2017 most likely, but if they haven't bought a Wii U yet, they'll be content to just wait.

If you purchased early, you knew that was a risk. If you didn't, then you knew the library was already small, and you have nobody but yourself to blame.

I don't own a WiiU, and I don't even like my 3DS or my Wii, but come on, anon. This is common sense. Take the lesson and remember it the next time the company you like shits out a new console. Perhaps you will wait a few years to see how it is doing.

Not that I have in years and years.

The only people who bought the Wii U are hardcore Nintendo fans. Everyone else learnt to not get Nintendo consoles until late in their lives from the gamecube, N64 and Wii.

This is just normal behaviour from them.

Heads up, those high poly games usually run like shit on consoles and drop frames constantly.

>>287310353
I don't think it's laziness as much as Nintendo making a concerted effort to NOT look like the modern standard of "AAA GAMING".

The last time Nintendo had a piece of hardware that was at or near contemporary technological standards was with the Gamecube, a decade ago. They've spent the last 10 years developing games on weak hardware, and somewhere along the way they probably realized that they shouldn't even bother chasing after the high fidelity realism of their rivals, because they couldn't hope to keep pace.

Instead, they focus on clean, iconographic visuals and put their focus on rock solid performance, which probably sets them apart from the competition more than their cartoon graphics. Plus, it likely helps to keep their dev costs in check, as they transition to HD content and an increasingly niche fanbase to cater to.

Did you ever play Mario 64? Donkey Kong Country? Smash 64? Ocarina of Time? Kirby 64 and Dream Land 3? They were all far more realistic than the plastic, overly cartoony sterile murder garbage they spew out today in order to appeal to soccer moms afraid of letting their children play mature media with lovecraftian influences and actual atmosphere.

>>287311373
I liked the N64. Of course, I believe I was in 5th grade when it released. I got the GC before I got my PS2. I have roughly 6-8 games for the GC, and around 60 games for the PS2. That was the point that I decided to abandon Nintendo, and start checking out the competition.

I'd almost rather hang myself than play any nintendo game without any buttons at all. Seriously, I've tried emulators on my phone. It's worse than sitting in a chair doing absolutely nothing.

You're right about that. I doubt my mind will EVER be blown by a videogame like it was by SM64 back when it came out. It was fucking jaw dropping how good it looked. PCFats at the time must've shit a brick.

You just have to keep in mind 90% of /v/ was sloshing around their father's ballsack at this time.

I don't understand that image tho, they both look terrible.

confirmed for having no clue what you are talking about
>>287311293
it's because they used mainly primary colors, lower polycounts, and less realistic textures with shittier lighting. it makes the game not as good MUH GRAFIXly and it comes out "cartoony"

making something cartoony is just easier to do then making a game with really good graphics

>>287311553
in every single one of these images I prefer the "plastic" design over the horribly dated "realistic" (that doesn't look remotely realistic and really does not fit in with the character models imo).

You're a retard

>>287311107
Mario games, 2D or 3D, have never been graphical showcases. I've been playing Mario games since 1989, and that's total revisionist bullshit.

Even back on the NES, most of the major 3rd party companies put out prettier, more technologically demanding games than Nintendo did. Nothing Nintendo published came close to late generation Capcom and Konami graphics. Even Sunsoft was doing some high end shit.

>>287311846

Not him, but no shit. The "realistic" games are over a decade old.

>>287296287

>>287311846
What you are looking at when you look at the "realistic" is over 10 years old. That was pretty fucking awesome back then. Today, you would be seeing their hair blow in the breeze if they wanted to try.

But they don't.

ehh i completely think they do it just to cut down on dev times, why make games with really great graphics if you know your fans are going to buy a game based on the ip and not the gameplay/look.

Pikmin 3, Mario kart 8 were fucking beautiful. it's just sad the last 3 console zelda games were cell shaded when we have such powerful hardware.

What exactly is the problem?
Nintendo has their style and they're making it look good.

Gritty ditty textures doesn't necessarily make the game have better graphics. All of your images are proof of that.

Larger worlds, ability to patch, DLC, better loading speeds, a bunch of other shit unrelated to graphics, your mom.
The best part about it is that the simplicity works in their favour because it still looks good and allows them to focus on the gameplay.

Sega, in all honesty, is very financially secure nowadays (those arcade and pachinko sales are ridiculous). They could definitely make a console if they wanted to. The only question is, would they want to? It'd probably do well if they aggressively marketed it, possibly with a "back and better than ever" approach, but it would possibly be a huge waste of money.

>>287313176
Well, in all fairness, you had a board like Lindbergh, which was made so it ported perfectly to the PS3 and it shows.

Lindbergh is also a 2004-2005 board.

I would eat it up to be honest. Sega still has really talented devs and isn't afraid to go balls to the wall crazy with hardware.

That's debatable, you can see a lot more problems on the resistance textures and models than you can on the Mario ones in all honesty.

I don't want to be all doom and gloom. Maybe this will turn out for the better, but this is just a sign that things change. It sickens me to see all the people who are glad because they think it's the first step toward them going third party, but we have to face the fact that mobile gaming is changing the industry more than the casuals and dudebros ever did. Nintendo needs to stay in the eyes of the children if they want them to grow into loyal customers.

Video games may die, but we will always have the 40 years of excellence where games were being made for and by true video game enthusiasts, just think of the thousands of games you missed while you were growing up. If video games become too changed from what they once were, there will always at least be that.
