Pokemon Stars won't be for the Nintendo Switch, right?

>>30548490
Yes, Just like the Nintendo NX

>>30548490
With the recent datamining of Pokemon walk/run animations it might as well be, the 3ds is ancient hardware that needs to fuck off, all it does is limit the potential of games like sun/moon

Yes.

Nintendo Switch is both the next handheld and home console.

Tons of evidence supports the idea that SM was designed with the Switch in mind.

Gen 8 and the DP remakes will be Switch exclusive. The best you can hope with Stars is that it also gets a 3DS version, which is likely.

>>30548490
it will be but it won't be called Stars, it's a codename just like Pokemon Rainbow

That's the point. Nintendo knows they simply cannot compete in the mainstream console market anymore. The Switch is meant to diverge those two markets. The Switch is a handheld, albeit with shitty battery life but let's not act like most handheld players aren't 5 year olds playing on their mommy's ipad that has even worse battery life.

>>30549626

>>30549653
Either way, the Switch is the next home of Pokemon.

>>30549653
They're just saying that because the 3DS still has a bit of steam in it and it's good to have as a safety net just in case the Switch turbobombs.

>>30549691

>>30548662
Nintendo has made some inexplicable decisions recently, but why are so many people assuming they are going to kill the handheld line? It makes no sense whatsoever to end your main product series in favor of an experimental console when your last one failed miserably.

>>30549714
True, can't argue with that. I just hope for selfish reasons that they introduce it to Pokemon in gen 8, I don't want to pay for another console yet to play Stars.

Are you new with Nintendo's development cycles?

They announce their newest handheld AFTER the main console.

>>30549752
Newfags think that just because the Switch looks and works like a handheld means that Nintendo is abandoning the handheld market

There is nothing stopping Nintendo from releasing a smaller, compact and weaker version of the Switch to market it as the 4DS

Being a handheld is the Switch's main gimmick and something the WiiU should have done

>>30548490
I want it to be true simply because that means the next monster hunter will also be for the switch and console monster hunter is so comfy.

What is even the point of this? I mean if it's just a Switch Slim, then the Switch is still a handheld. You think they didn't make the Switch as small as it could be? You can't just squeeze it as small as you want. The thing literally has vents on it for cooling.

>>30549922
None of those are handhelds, the Switch is.

>>30549837
Yes, and they announced the switch after the wiiU :^)
Now really this not being the next handheld is as real as nintendo KEEPING the 3rd party company support the announced in the trailer, it even has cartridges for fuck sake

>>30548490
It's going to be either an enhanced port or a 3rd game/sequel that's simultaneously released on the 3DS. After BW2 still being DS, its hard to imagine otherwise.

It has cartridges because it converts to handheld. The PSP and UMDs prove that discs are not for handhelds, even Sony stopped doing it after a couple of models.

>>30549886
>I called them newfags, that should stop replies
Nintendo is not abandoning the handheld market, its only focusing on it, the switch running on a TV just gives the ilusion of a home console, the base doesn't even give anything extra, the little screen is the whole console

quick charging is something smartphones have, and nintendos handhelds have always been like 5 years behind modern smartphones likely to keep it the cheap shit it is.

>>30550162
It's a successor in the line of Nintendo handhelds. It's basically a more modernized GBA. Fuck dual screens.

>>30550284
>>30550273

>>30548490
Nintendo is a fan of money you fucking retard. At WORST they will do a dual-release with one version on the 3DS and one version on the Switch with trade compatibility in between. They realize not everyone can afford a brand new home console so they will lose buttloads of sales if they release it exclusively for the switch.

>>30550532
it would sell them some more consoles and S/M is already overachieving.

>>30549590
Even worse!

>>30550532
Nintendo needs the Switch to sell.

The best way to do that is to establish it early as THE system for Pokemon games, which is a fanbase that's 15 million+ strong. Capturing even half that fanbase within a year will be extremely important for the Switch's success.

>inb4 "but i'm a pokemon fan and I won't be buying a switch for pokemon!"
congrats on being part of the minority, people said that same shit when the 3DS released and look at you now

>>30550692
this.
pokemon is their strongest franchise right now.

>>30549703
USB Type C is confirmed.

Also the dock is confirmed to have literally nothign special in it bar an HDMI out and ports.

No brains, all computations are in the tablet only.

>>30550532
pokemon will not be a release title, no way, just with the ones in the trailer coming out alongside the console and not "weeks" after will make it sell, trow a xenoblade port and monhun a couple of months after and it will already do bether than the wiiU

>>30550532
they normally don't do that at all. if it was the usual casual pace of nintendo, they would not even bother with a switch release and just wait for the next gen. it's obvious the goal here is purely to sell as many consoles as quickly as they can. they're betting everything on next year if the rumors are true about a new mario the first year to go with pokemon and breath of the wild.

>>30550692
Pokemon, Monhun, Animal Crossing, Smash, Mario Kart, Fire Emblem, Zelda, and more would mean the Switch would succeed.

Also it's close enough to Xbone in power that it CAN receive 3rd party ports.

>>30550782
they will definitely not release a handheld besides the switch.
pokemon is their biggest handheld seller.
even if it's not an immediate launch title, gen 7 pokemon WILL come to the switch soon.
otherwise, nintendo would be retarded.

>>30550796
only proof of real 3rd party support is Todd game, already old as hell and will not even get mods

>>30550864
>they will definitely not release a handheld besides the switch.
>he still thinks Nintendo will abandon the handheld market and let Sony take over it

>>30550864
oh I know switch is the next handheld, was just saying that neither the gen 4 remakes or stars will be a release title, at most an SM port if the 3ds cartridges are not compatibles, but I wouldn't expect a mainline pokemon game on it at least till 2018
end of 2017 if GF is competent

I'm fucking tired of this stars bullshit. You fucking retards thought grey and z were coming out and you were wrong. Who's to say they won't just release sinnoh remakes and head to gen 8 right after? Who's to say it won't just be sun 2 and moon 2 and bam gen 7 is done?

>>30550947
Sony already abandoned and nintendo is only focusing on the handheld market, he said it better than I can >>30550051

>>30550990
stars is just a codename you retard, not the final title
nobody knows the real name, just that its coming, what else would you call it instead of stars if you don't know the name either?

>>30551030
What difference does the codename make? People still think a third and "polished" version is coming out with no real evidence. I'm not saying I have evidence to disprove it but christ people will believe anything.

>>30551066
Nobody knows if its a third version or literally SM2 but another game besides the gen 4 remakes are coming and there is no better way of naming it, and being a more polished version of SM is more like a wish

>>30550947
>sony take over handheld market
>ps vita
LOL

>>30550903
Square and SEGA already let slip a couple of big games. This thing is gonna be big in Japan with the the last gen stuff winding down and PS4 never really catching fire over there. If anything Skyrim is the one that's not confirmed even if it pretty much is.

>>30551118
Gotta agree with you on that polished comment. Seriously though if sinnoh remakes come out next year and sm2/"stars" the year after or vice versa OR if just ONE of those two comes out and gen 8 begins shortly after I think I'm going to quit this series. Either way whatever happens I think the series is starting to move a lot faster than usual and if it becomes the next call of duty or assassin's creed I'm done. I don't want to see it happen but with a franchise like pokemon it most likely will. It breaks my heart thinking about it but there's nothing anyone can do about it

>>30548490
ok guys. I know some of you guys might not believe what I say is true because "muh dad works for nintendo", but I'll let you on this note: The Target guy who "leaked" Pokemon Stars held the same Nintendo position as I do right now. He worked as a sales rep in a store for the holidays. Now, sorry to pop anyone's bubble but we are told NOTHING more than you guys know on the Switch. Nintendo wouldn't give their vendors such valuable information. In training, we are told SPECIFICALLY not to talk about our own speculations or comment on our thoughts on what the potential games will be on the console. What's funny is that this rep did the EXACT THING we were told not to: He told random customers that he would love to see a future Pokemon game on the Switch, Pokemon Stars for example. This guy probably lost his job right away when the news popped on the internet. I'm not high up enough to know and he wasn't in my state at ALL so I have no idea what happened to him. RIP my man.

>>30548490

i hope it is. if anything, sun and moon just exemplified how outdated the 3ds hardware is

when does the switch come out?

>>30551337
March. That's all we know.

>>30551300

>our own speculations or comment on our thoughts on what the potential games will be on the console

These are not the same thing.

>>30551357
Yeah exactly! That dude did what he wasn't supposed to do and now we know what are the consequences of that act. People will go crazy over one -possible- information. If it comes from the dude with the official nintendo shirt sampling Pokemon at Target, it's probably more right than anything right? Nope. No it's not.

because nintendo needs to fucking bring it or else they're finished

new zelda, 3D mario, AND a console pokemon game in the launch window, they literally never do stuff like this

that's how desperate they are

>>30549436
Well, congrats though yo

Speculation =/= Aspiration

>>30551585
Yeah but you can't do shit like that either. They'll even send secret shoppers that will ask questions like this or will look at how you work so you don't fuck up and say more "informations" or speculations. Fans will take the words of someone who works for Nintendo and think it's real infos even if it's only thoughts or dreams that rep has. That rep probably didn't mean to say stuff like that, but some people took the words from his mouth like real informations instead. :O When you represent Nintendo, you become the voice of the company in a way. You can't talk for yourself when you wear the shirt...

What if:

Nintendo Switch Home console bundle
Nintendo Switch Handheld bundle

Nyko Switch Extended Battery pack

>>30551692
Extended battery packs are nice, but the handheld itself charges via USB so I can see people carrying around one of the those phone rechargers.

>>30551665

People will infer things and make shit up and hear what they want to hear all completely independent of what was said or who was saying it.

Also, informations isn't a word.

>>30551692
>Nintendo Switch Home console bundle
>Nintendo Switch Handheld bundle

What's the distinction? The handheld IS the console, the base is just a charger and an HDMI out. Doesn't even improve the graphics unless the handheld underclocks for heat/power purposes.

>>30548787
Rainbow was codename for Sun and Moon. So since Stars is already confirmed to be a codename it's highly uncertain whether it's one game (Eclipse) or 2 (Sun 2 and Moon 2)

>>30551863

I can imagine Nintendo doing like a 128gb/256gb version and not include the dock/controller extension to cut costs for those people who would only ever want to play it off the built in screen.

>>30551887
Stars isn't confirmed at all. I wish it were too, but we have no idea about anything Pokemon on the switch yet. :/

The switch is a home console on the go. Sun and Moon don't feel like home console games at all. Stars better have some major improvements/content.

DPP remakes will be on the 3DS
the Switch is only the new WII U, and it will fail.
this is the reason they are having a SM on both consoles, its only a test.

Switch is not even a handheld, plus how the fuck would the game look on the switch if you had it on the go? Pokemon Star / eclipse won't happen!

How fucking thick are people arguing that the Switch is not an handheld?
You can carry it around with you and play outside your home? Then it's a fucking handheld.
Nintendo only main selling point, given the state of the industry, are their IPs and the handheld market. Producing an high tier handheld to put ALL their franchise in it while slowing expanding their IPs on iOS/Android for the general public is the only way Nintendo is going to survive on its own. It's painfully obvious.

>b-but Nintendo said the Switch is neither the 3DS or the Wii U successor, is a third pillar
Well for once they said the same bullshit for the NDS, and then the NDS replaced the GB as the handheld line. Then let's remember that the Wii U is already out of production and Nintendo has released just a couple of games for it in 2016. Then notice that the 3DS has still some steam left, why the fuck should they announce that it has become obsolete NOW that we're around christmas, the machine is cheap as fuck and there is a new pokemon game when the IP is hotter than ever?
Really pull your heads out of your asses.

I just want Stars to be a bigger Sun/Moon.

Better graphics, more islands, more people walking around in the cities, more things to do, more shops. Stuff like that.

Sun/Moon is around 3GB in size and if Stars end up being on the Switch I'd like to see it being around 10GB in size.

friendly reminder about the switch direct in January

if stars is real it's likely going to be revealed during that

>>30556698
lol

>>30556698
No it's not. IF we're going to be believe the rumors and pretend Stars is real, and I can't see why not since Pokemon sells hardware and Nintendo may be interested in having Pokemon on it as soon as possible, it's probably going to be a third version called Prism, so they're not going to announce it in fucking january when SM are still selling, E3 seems the earliest at this point. Plus Nintendo has bigger announcement on the 12 than a third version of a game that is not going to came out until the late fall anyway.
