How comes Nintendo can get away with selling handheld games for

What are you really going to need that extra $20 for, OP? I mean besides hiring male prostitutes.

The real question is how can nintendo get away with rehashing games 2 years later for $60 without even making them hd.
Talk about over-valuing dlc.

>>383912853
What's criminal is how the digital version costs exactly the same as the physical that comes with a box and cartridge.

At least Vita digital games were $35 while retail was $40

>>383912419
Well, I guarantee if you could play 3ds games on your tv, they'd cost $60 too

>>383912419
Because it's advertised as a home console that just so happens to be portable.

An HDMI port doesn't suddenly mean +$20 per game anon, you pay for that when you buy the console, otherwise it's just a stupidity tax.

How come Sony can get away with selling movies for $60?

>>383913346
Well, I mean that's like saying all games could be cheaper...which is fucking CORRECT. not every game is worth $60 but that's the standard nowadays. I mean, they're a company. expecting anything but them going for full price is stupid. they aren't indie devs for christ's sake. it's stupid but logical when your only motivation is making fat stacks of dough

>>383913675
>expecting anything but them going for full price is stupid

The problem is you're paying home console "full price" for what looks like an indie phone game, and graphics are the most expensive part of development.
Ontop of which there's heavy asset reuse from the last splatoon, so what exactly are people paying for here?

>>383913640
Most expensive thing there is $20, at 16x the resolution of a switch game.

>>383913031
i agree with this. Digital should be much cheaper.

Whats with the Nintendo hate boner lately?

First
>Implying 90% of this thread would buy the game anyway
Second
Because Splatoon is competitively priced as a AA release with a good marketing campaign, the best graphics it can muster with a smooth 60, and additional content on the way?
This logic would make sense if games like Puyo Puyo Tetris and Bomberman R weren't reduced in price.

>>383913998

>>383912853
They did this with Majoras mask. Literally reused assets from OoT and would be considered a dlc in todays times. and yet people loved that game.

>>383914153
Splatoon 2 has no content at launch just like Splatoon 1, yet they're still charging $60 for it.

>B-BUT THEY'LL PATCH IN THE CONTENT MONTHS LATER!
have fun with your paid online on a handheld

>>383913892
It's a sequel, man. They're paying for new mechanics and story. Don't pretend you don't know that shit is in there. to be honest though, I'm not even sure where nintendo is going with IPs like splatoon and arms. How much can they change gameplay in each iteration without changing the base mechanics themselves? and at that point, is it even the same game anymore?

>>383914223

Sonybros getting salty over Nintendo releasing a successful product.
Switch hasn't been out for even a year yet, and it's a Nintendo console, so obviously there's some dumb shit they're doing for fanboys to latch onto.
This is /v/, the last bastion of shitty console flamewars outside of Youtube comments. Don't act surprised.

just in time for the next Pokemon game on the Switch and they charge normies money to trade to pokemon online

>>383914570
It's 1080p 60fps on the dock. Also, games shouldn't be priced by graphical power.

>>383914087

Combination of Nintendo seeming like they don't want my money with their inability to create enough stock of their products time and time again and the usual console wars faggotry.

>>383914445

>>383912419
Because those are good games

>>383914445
>>digital for full price as if you got actual physical things that take money to produce
Why should digital be a different price? It's better to get things digital because you don't have to get up to change the game when you get bored.
>rehashing games after 2 years

>>>charging $60 for a game which will usually be running at modern handheld resolutions

I agree with the other statement but i don't get this one.

>>383914679
It's still 720p in handheld mode. The majority of people will be playing this on the handheld for the gyro controls.

>>383914675
Watch Nintendo still charge Switch owners for Bank.

>>383914818
nah. videogames fucking suck in general lately. sony dudes are just trying to bully nintendo after their PTSD of bloodborne shitposting.

>>383914896
The pro controllers have Gyro

>>383914896
Yeah, the screen is only 720p, dude. Most games on other consoles are only 720p upscaled to 1080, and they can't even hit a stable 30fps, let alone 60. They should have nailed the framerate before moving onto 4k.

On top of that, every controller for the Switch has gyro controls, including the pro controller.

>>383912419
Because they set the prices from the beginning, they could have charged 60 bucks for new 3ds games from the beginning but they chose not to.

>>383915087
Literally no game on PS4 is 720p native or upscaled.

IT'S NOT A FUCKING HANDHELD

>>383914247
No, it would be considered an expandalone by today's standards. Nowadays DLC usually just adds costumes or cosmetics or at most a new character. Majora's mask was an entirely different game with a different world map, story, and mechanics. It is by definition a sequel.

>>383912419
Well, the reason that handheld games are priced cheaper is because they are cheaper to develop, requiring less resources. But Switch games are being developed on the scale of console games and therefore come with the development costs of a console game.

Also, because they can. They're into making money and it's clear people will pay 60 dollars for a Switch game.

Here you go, and look it's even a casual third person spray and pray shooter just like splatoon, with all of the shitty pixar graphics that children love.
Ontop of which it's free and can run in 4k, right off your phone to your tv if you want because I know you love that gimmick.

>>383915341
It has a battery, a charging port, it has a ARM processor that's found in tablets, and it uses cartridges which are identical size to the 3DS/Vita. How is it NOT a handheld?

>>383915427
EA is an indie dev now, guys.

>>383915371
but people are complaining about splatoon 2 for the same reason and majora did this same thing. Same engine, same graphics, same reused models and textures and sounds.

When people talk about splatoon2 this is what they usually bring up

>>383915457
you can buy controllers for it
you can play it on your TV
you can do local multiplayer with one device

>>383915272
I said other consoles, which includes Xbox One. There are still a lot of games on the PS4 that are 900p.

The Switch is the strongest portable to date. There's nothing wrong with a handheld version of a game running at 720p 60fps, especially when the docked version runs at 1080p 60fps.

>>383916172
First off they were obviously indie before EA bought them.
Second of all I never said that they were an indie company, rather that they make low-quality indie-looking games, as noted by the fact they've never sold anything above $20, and all of their games run on toasters and look like shit. Lrn2read autist.

I don't know about everyone else but I'm about $600 sunk into a meme that /v/ tricked me into and I've gotten fucking NOTHING of value out of it, so I am fucking PISSED and fully intend on ruining this console for everybody else until mario proves me wrong.

Those are false now, though.

The monthly ROMs have been changed to a Netflix-like service for old games, and Nintendo confirmed that it's a separate thing from the Virtual Console.
There is voice chat (albeit through a shitty headset, but it's there)
You can already do some online features without the app, like add friends from other systems, joi n friends in game, and invite friends. So far, the app just looks like a thing to keep you updated on the status of online games while you're away.
Finally, they announced a fucking mainline Pokemon game on the Switch. If that's not evidence that it's the new handheld and successor to the 3DS, then I don't know what is.

I'm reserving my judgement until mario.
>>383918404
Oh I'm sorry, but I rather enjoyed splatoon despite the fact it ran at twice the fucking tick rate, and didn't expect nintendo to make it fucking unplayable.
As for the resolution I was told this game would run at 1080 60 fps, which was complete fucking bullshit considering the dynamic resolution shifts down to 720 at times in tv mode.
Why the fuck did I buy a switch just to play wiiu games in wiiu quality when the greedy jews could have just released it on the wiiu,

>PLAYABLE
You're fucking retarded, I know splatoon competition play was a bit of a meme but it still made the game fun to have challenging fights. Now it litterally doesn't even matter because ytou can snipe someone, have them turn around, shoot you in the face for death, and never even get your damage register. The game is unplayable, and if you disagree then you're just a shitter who's never played a shooter in his entire god damn life and doesn't understand the most basic of fundemental requirements towards making one flow smoothly and make it so actions have impact, instead of it just because a ghostroom full of randoms doing random shit until someone wins because none of your actions mater in the slightest when you have no idea which ones will register and which ones won't. The ultimate spray n pray shooter for noobs.
>>383919016
I don't give a shit, I'm not wasting my money how does that affect me? If you nerds what to tell nintendo that this is what you want go right ahead, you're the one stuck playing this trash for 3 months.

looks better quality wise than splatoon. but switch has a 720p screen while vita is 960x544. but you can argue that OLED blows the shit out of the LCD switch uses.

Yeah dudes the game literally doesn't work. I heard the tickrate so low that it's take 29 seconds to register you shitting LMAOOOOOOOO

Fucking faggots. It's fine.

>>383920253
ITS OKAY

This is the same company that charged near full price for an hd port when everybody else was selling them for half price or multiple games for that price.

They made disc locked content a standard.

They are going to charge people for online play that isn't even as fleshed out as systems from 2004.

>Supporting Nintendo in 2017

Nintenbros are the biggest, most deluded retards in gaming. Just let the company die ffs.

>>383919940
It was made for a system that first came out in 2011.

This was exceptionally high quality at that reference for a handheld game. Way above the norm.

Explain to me how docked Splatoon 2 has any downgrades compared to Splatoon 1 because of its additional optional handheld mode

>>383919397
>50 miliseconds

That's totally exaggerating

>>383920795
switch wifi sucks compared to wii u ethernet

>>383921008
WiiU never had ethernet you fucking retard.

You can use the usb-ethernet adapter on WiiU and switch

>>383920903
12.5 tick rate means 12.5 times per second it'll contact the server.
1000ms in 1 second
1000/12.5 = 80ms per server response.
What were you saying about exaggerations, when after doing the math I myself realized it's actual 60% worse/slower than I expected?

That means at 32 ping, the bare fucking minimum most people can ever hope to hit, you're still playing at effectively 112 ms latency.
How is that "playable"?

Is Splatoon 2 online multiplayer peer to peer or are they using dedicated servers (if so then where are servers located?)

>>383921560
Peer to Peer. You are expected to pay for this come 2018.

>>383921861
The multiplayer is region free right? What if a Japanese person ends up being the host? Won't american and europe players be playing at a disadvantage?

>>383921989
That's pretty much what happened to me most of the time when I played Splatoon 1 later after its initial release. It was a miracle to see more than 2 non Japanese players in most matches.

>>383921367
He specifically asked about DOCKED you moran

>>383921367
you have yet to give a proper answer to my question.
Splatoon 1 was 60 at launch with barely any content
Splatoon 2 is 60 at launch with a lot more content besides just the ability to play it in portable mode.

Why are we having a thread on the price of the game as if the handheld mode affects the quality of the game in docket mode,
which quite frankly seems like a package that's worth more than the first game?

>>383922490
additionally:
BotW has been patched numerous times and now runs better than teh Wii U version.
Mario Oddyssey will look and probably run better than 3D World because the screen isn't rendered twice
and it seems like it exceeds most 3D console Marios in a long long time.
ARMS is at least comparable to several console Nintendo games before it and looks better than most Wii U games as well.
Xenoblade 2 also looks more visually impressive than X

I do not see a single game here that's less worthy of a full console price because of the optional handheld function.
In fact it seems content and presentation wise the games seem either on par or more rich than what the Wii U had to offer.

Again, why are we calling these "handheld games with console prices" when the home console experience isn't at all hindered by the optional handheld mode?

>>383912419
It's okay when Nintendo does it.
