Do you think you can go back to having a single screen after

The touch screen is not very useful in pokemon games

Pokémon would look awesome on the Nintendo Switch.

I'm sick of the Nintendo 3DS and etc.

It's time to upgrade to next generation of video game technology.

Nintendo Switch!

:)

Honestly not a lot the second screen does that requires it always being there

Can just have it appear when L is held or something

>>29382386

Yeah. We don't need it anymore.

I can't wait for Nintendo Switch.

>>29382386
Exactly, all that we got from touch screen is useless shit like ami, minigames and all that crap.

>>29382403
>>29382425
Fuck off Richard. I doubt you even play Pokémon games.

The Switch has a touch screen according to rumours, it just hasn't been confirmed yet. It only makes sense since some games like Paper Mario use the touch screen.

>>29382358
Been waiting for a single screen for years now.

You WANT a menu crowding the screen? Shame on you.

Ez, you only get to play touch games in portable mode.

Mainline pokemon games won't be on the Switch because it isn't the successor to the 3DS. As hard as it may be to comprehend for some people, it is a portable console NOT a handheld.

>>29382582
But Gamefreak said mainline Pokémon will be on the switch. It's even a handheld.

>>29382582

Nah. It will.

>>29382618
I don't think they said mainline, but I would be pretty happy to see it happen.

The Pokemon Company said pokemon games will be on the Switch. Not GF. The Switch is only the successor to the Wii U, not the 3DS. I don't want to believe your brain can't comprehend the difference between a handheld device and something that is merely a console you can take everywhere. The libraries of these two will not be merged and a 3DS successor should appear anywhere in the next one or two years.

>>29382643
Well that's obviously what they were talking about. Masuda even mentioned it in one of his latest interviews. Also, do you really think gen 8 will be on the 3ds?

>>29382358
Battles would have a lot of visual icons overlaying the battle screen like it's Persona or something.

Anything like your Pokedex or whatever shit you get will be assigned in a subscreen or Heads up display since there's more pixels to go around now.

It's doable, it's just gonna have to get an overhaul.

>>29382618
They never actually said that the main series will be on the Switch, they simply said that they plan to make Pokemon games for it. Hell this could be the first time that Game Freak actually makes their own spin offs instead of simply relying on other companies.

>>29382618
no, they didn't

No and never

>>29382750
You're an idiot. Graphics and sheer power are not what seperate the two. As much as I'd like them to be, the Switch is NOT a merger or successor to both the Wii U AND 3DS. Only the Wii U. The traditional handheld library will continue to be found on handhelds as will the console library with the console library.

The Switch is a console. Mainline games aren't on console.

The Switch isn't specified. He's talking about whatever is going to replace the 3DS, which the Switch is not.

>>29382582
Switch is replacing 3DS and Wii U, despite what they tell you to try and get you to buy them, that's the end game

>>29382986
Pokemon games can't stay on the 3ds forever. Accept it, mainline Pokémon Is coming to the switch

>>29383012

3DS can play DS games

>>29383124
Yeah, you too

If they want me to buy the switch for the next maingame they better show us some stats of that thing real fucking soon.

>>29382358
Yeah, I could live with it. I saw some mockups of the bottom screen being an overlay during battle and those looked bretty güd.

I imagine it could get a mainline game since it's definitely more of a handheld than a console. The only problem is I could never imagine taking anywhere with me. I mean, that thing IS the console. I'd be fucking paranoid doing anything with it outside of bringing into the bathroom when I need to take a shit.

>>29383124
Nevermind. A Japanese google translate image is such a source to you

What IS a 3DS successor, then? Something that they come out and say is the next handheld? This is a handheld, technically. Then again, Wii U had the same function, just without being able to leave a certain range. This does effectively have all the function of a handheld system while also still being a console. They have to outright say it succeeds the 3DS? I don't think they ever said that about ANY portable, the fandom said that themselves. No one is ever going to say that about anything, it's bad business. If one thing ends up being phased out in favor of the other, that's another story.

Regardless, this has colossal risk stamped all over it. Either people are willing to forgo their old games or not.

>>29382582
>Nintendo also said the DS wasn't replacing the Game Boy

>>29383240
something you could probably fit in your pocket for starters

>>29383094
youre stupid as fuck. they said the ds wasnt replacing the gba lmao

why would they admit to this? loss of sales

>>29383240
If the NX flops, they will continue maingames on 3DS and a few years later on a new handheld.
If it does well that could mean we'll get gen 8 on switch.

>>29383240
>This is a handheld, technically

But Nintendo won't call it that. It's not a handheld, it's not a console, it's both!

What games it gets depends largely on what role they assign it. If they wanna focus on bringing console-tier games to a portable device then Pokemon probably won't be on it.

>>29383280
>If it does well that could mean we'll get gen 8 on switch.
That would be nice. Pokemon in HD at 60fps.

>>29383294
Pokemon is obviously coming to the switch. Do you really thing gen 8 will be on the 3ds?. Pokemon is a console tier game. The 3ds is just holding Gamefreak back

Console to handheld has already been done. It's handheld to console that hasn't been done seamlessly.

>>29383325
>The 3ds is just holding Gamefreak back

Yeah something like a maingame with stadium feeling would be nice.

I can't tell if you guys are baiting or just plain retarded. The touchscreen is incredibly useful in battle for selecting moves and Pokemon.

>>29383325

It really isn't. If the new games didn't use such future-proofed models they would run perfectly.

If Nintendo wants to keep a line of dedicated handhelds on the side for games that don't require the Switch's level of hardware then Pokemon will be on those handhelds. If they wax their dedicated handhelds out and replace them with the Switch then Pokemon will definitely be on it.

>>29383362
>There's literally no issue with Pokemon on the current generation of hardware!
Good joke.

>>29383362
SM can barely run on the 3ds. The 3ds can't handle much more. The 3ds limits what Gamefreak can add in the games. I think it's time for Pokémon to move on to the switch. Plus, don't you want hd Pokemon?

It's probably my own fault for having shaky hands, but the flip screens kinda piss me off, so I'm really hoping to go back to a single screen eventually. Either that or for the successor to the 3DS have a 2DS-like model at launch.

>>29383415
The Switch might as well BE the next level handheld because it certainly isn't the next level console.

>>29383430
>>29383434
I'm not saying I don't want the new games on NX, but do you really think normies (main demographic) care about those few stutters during battles or cutscenes?

>>29383469
This. It's clear Nintendo just wants to focus on handhelds this time because that's where they're winning. They just threw nice console features into this one because they realized technology can do that pretty well now.

You guy talk as if pokemon is the only DS/3DS game you've ever played. Sure removing the touch screen in pokemon might not be the end of the world. But if you think getting rid of the dual screen in general for any franchise is a good thing you're genuinely retarded

If you don't think the Switch is replacing the 3ds AND the Wii-u you're very silly. "Hmm yep let's just have TWO things that are portable that makes perfect sense"

>>29383517
Then why are they they advertising it as "home console first"? Also I wanna know how long this thing will be able to run skyrim without performance loss.

>>29383556
It's like you've never dealt with Nintendo's business decisions in the last few years

I do have to say that the Switch looks like it'll make for really awkward transitions for series that have primarily been on DS and 3DS. However, it probably does have a touchscreen at the very least. But really any dual screen conveniences will have to be rethought. A lot of those games will need a very different approach towards the UI.

>>29383593
It won't be able to run Skyrim without performance loss unless it's filled with actual magic.

It wasn't running any of the games it was shown playing in the video. Skyrim hasn't even been confirmed for it yet, they literally just used the footage to draw in a more mature audience.

>>29383477
It you put gen 8 on the 3ds it will lag like crazy. I just want HD pokemon. It doesn't deserve to be stuck at 240p

>>29382358
Yes, easily. the DS and 3DS were mistakes.

>>29383593
Because the Wii U was a failure to start with. It could be replaced by the Game and Watch by now.

>>29383377
>>29383398

>>29383645

Don't be so sure. It would have been incredibly easy to show off that feature just once in the reveal video, and losing the touchscreen would help increase the tablet's battery life.

>>29383656
Of course it's only screened, that's why I'm worried that this is a potential handheld replacement. High performance on the way to the shitter and back doesn't qualify it as handheld.

>>29383723
Ever played pokemon stadium? It's super easy to make shortcuts like that on the switch.

>>29383556
It would mean more sales. Imagine being able to play any new game that comes out in your living room TV or on the go. That's what the Switch is.

Do you people still want Pokémon stuck at 240p? I'm ready for HD Pokémon

>>29383774
Then you'd have to explain how the hotkeys work. (More tutorials, whee, we're so advanced)

I'm afraid of the fact that this thing may flop. I don't really care about Nintendo themselves, but if this thing bombs hard then mainline Pokémon will be stuck to the terrible 3ds hardware.

I want to get out of the 240p ghetto, niggas.

>>29383822
It's literally holding one button and then clicking in one of the four main directions. If the kids of today are too dumb for that then they should see a specialist.

>>29383897
>hostile and overly autistic Nintendrone

>>29383842
The whole point of pokemon is that it's a portable game, I don't want to carry a fucking tablet around for it.

>>29383925
That's a good point, I hope they make something smaller

>>29383903
>has to belittle Nintendo fans

Really? How can you hear so high up there? Most don't hear anything at all anymore.

>>29382358
I don't think it would be that different. Some game series might not transition well Pokémon should do fine. We don't need touch screen if we have buttons to select moves and I don't I need a map or menu open at all times in my second screen. The only thing that would be questionable is if it's not touch screen then there goes Pokémon amie which would be sad but whatever. I really doubt it wouldn't be.

>>29383958
They'll probably make a slim or something down the line. For now I think they're assuming most people on the go these days carry bags

>>29383925
>I don't want to carry a fucking tablet around for it

It's not like you fat basement dweller take your 3ds outside and play.

>>29383958
I'm okay with the size of the switch but I'm not gonna pay a home console price because I want portable nintendo console.

>>29384014
But I don't have a choice when I run low on tendies

>>29383958
>>29383925
I feel like you guys are overestimating its size ? It looks more portable than their XL handhelds which people seem to like.

>>29384045
>It looks more portable than their XL handhelds

It's not. It's way wider.

>>29384045
The hell are you talking about? It's basically a tablet size; way larger than any of the XL handhelds.

>>29383842
I don't think you have to worry about it being stuck on the 3DS. If the Switch bombs Nintendo will likely announce a full portable successor to the 3DS. They announcing the Switch as a home console, despite it obviously being designed for handheld use first, already shows they aren't willing to immediately discard the handheld market for a hybrid.

>>29384045
It is wider than the XL. But I agree people are exaggerating its size.

I'm not sure how much longer SM can keep the 3DS up. They need a new handheld NOW.

The problem is not the size, it's energy management. Fucking elitists wanting 1080 with 60fps for a pokemon game, what for if it only lasts me a few hours.

>>29384159
I agree with this. They need a handheld that is specifically designed as one.

>>29384080
Not when you remove the joycons. Having them separate should make it pretty easy to carry around.

>>29384191
I'm not sure, but I heard the handheld screen is 720p.
Also I guess they are aware of the fact that autonomy is the main issue, and they probably focused on this

>>29384202
>carrying those tiny things around separately
>having to worry if they're charged

Oh, joy.

Not to mention what >>29384191 said. There's no way this thing is getting 1080p/60fps even if its plugged in. I'd be surprised if it could do 720p/60fps when unplugged, considering how much it'll underclock.

>>29382358
The second screen for the DS was a mistake from the beginning and a waste of space. Glad Nintendo is finally acknowledging that.

>>29382358
You talk like someone whose only ever owned a DS lol.

>>29384267
I really hope they are focusing on battery. They didn't give us shit about stats, components or anything at all, I don't even think they realize a lot of sales are pending on this.

>>29384334
He probably started with DP, like a lot of people here.

>>29384363
Battery lasts for 3 hours according to a leaker

>>29384671
That is too short to be functional. Instant rejection.

>>29384671
>3 hours

Hilarious if true. Especially since you also need to worry about the battery life of the controller.

>>29384716
>>29384729
It's the same as the 3DS

>>29384866
No, it's fucking not. The 3ds lasts for more than 5 hours and it's already notorious for having a shit battery life.

>>29384866
Bullshit my old 3DS lasts me a 5 hour bus drive.

>>29384888
Something's wrong with my N3DS XL, as it only lasts maybe 3-5 hours playing a VC game.

>>29384866
The 3DS lasts longer than that, but only by a few hours.

If the Switch can't handle a game a 720p/30fps for more than three hours it'll be a guaranteed flop. Even five is bad.

>>29382358
The only generation to use the touch screen heavily was gen 4 the rest it was just there.

Both touch screen and dual screen were dumb gimmicks that were hardly made use of, and even rarer were they mandatory
The DS and 3DS succeeded despite them due to easy/low cost game development and piss poor competition

That said releasing a half assed attempt at a home console isn't any better, I wish it had competition because it deserves to fail as hard as the Wii U did

Do we have a credible source?

>>29385222
Nah, Nintendo is mums on the specifics.

>>29385222
Said person was right with basically everything she leaked beforehand and is also the source of the tablet-mockup posted by eruogamer a few month ago. She is legit.
And no, I'm not talking about Emily Rodgers.

>>29385208
But as a home console, it WILL fail, simply because you want Shooter #googolplex and nothing else.

>>29382803
Screencapped for later

>>29385256
To be fair this could be only about the devkit.
But I wouldn't be surprised if the battery was shit.

i can't imagine nintendo abandoning their dual screen design, so many games fit so well on that style of handheld

>>29385289
Nah, I agree with you. Maybe Nintendo found a way to improve the battery life by now.

By the way, does anyone know how long the battery life of the Vita is?

god i just can't imagine pokemon with 1 screen, that'd be new territory as it's never been done before ever

>>29385307
Like just about every game is fine without it and it makes it easier on developers that don't want to deal with it. That's why the tablet does nothing when in home mode. Just regular controls.

>>29383434
>SM can barely run on the 3ds

Because GF is stupid. There are many games that look much better and fluid than Pokémon. the 3DS doesn't limit GF, GF limits itself. This was true for the DS too. I love Pokémon but they've always looked worse than other games from the same consle.

>>29385398
Exactly. Fucking digimon, dqm joker and other monster hunters run just fine.

>>29385459
Digimon isn't even on the 3DS

>>29385551
It is, they don't get localized.

>>29385459
>other monster hunters

>>29385551

Digimon World RE: Digitize Decoded.

Looks 50x smoother than SM and runs a fuckload better.

>>29385344
Mine tends to last a few days easy. Ridiculously good battery compared to my 3DS.

>>29384191

that's being incredibly optimistic considering battery life on tablets or even laptops under heavy load

>>29387059

>>29387301
This. Plus you could play with one hand to do boring grindy shit while you did something else. Can't do that without the bottom screen.

Yes. Dual screens were never essential. It's slightly more convenient menu navigation and that's literally it.

>>29389621
It was pretty good for displaying pokemon info and using your bag without as much screen juggling. It was based for using your pc

>>29382358
Any main pokemon game on this thing would also be the first main pokemon presented in 16:9 as opposed to the 3DS' 15:9, which means more room for UI and selection, plus lack of D-Pad on joy cons means directional button menu selection for fast input.

>>29389602
Honestly the screen looks big enough to easily put the 3D models on one side and the pc functions/sprites on the other
