Not really. I don't really think so anyway. I like my buttons. The SmartGlass has none. The Wii U does.

cstyle4370d ago

That's because its an app smart guy....lol

PopRocks3594370d ago

That strengthens my argument, more than anything. He said it makes Wii U irrelevant. If its primary function is just for editing load-outs and whatnot, then how does it make an entire game console irrelevant?

Blacktric4370d ago

Wii U is a console on its own with games developed with that controller in mind. SmartGlass however, is another gimmick made by Microsoft to cash in on the Wii U's controller idea. Same thing happened with Kinect.

cstyle4370d ago

Smart glass does everything the wii u does and even more and its only an app.

I really never believed on "Oh conspiracy against ----- brand" but why every major gaming site is kissing ms ass so much?

When Nintendo did it it's a "gimmick" but when ms its a revolution.

360GamerFG4370d ago

Links or it never happened. You need 3 links to prove your conspiracy. . .go

LOL. Smart Glass isn't necessarily an app that actual let's you play games on the touchscreen......the stuff they showed were things like customizing your Halo 4 load-out on the tablet (pretty useless if ya ask me), but you can't actually play Halo 4 with the tablet. It's not game controller.

FinaLXiii4370d ago

So Nintendo software is irrelevant as well uh..

LOL_WUT4370d ago

Ouch. But as much as i hate the idea of having a tablet while gaming i will have to go with Nintendo on this one.

Nes_Daze4370d ago

Nintendo's tablet is more accessible, and we actually know more of what will be implemented with it. SmartGlass, from what I've seen, showed some useless stuff.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H91d 21h ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX1d 15h ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H91d 13h ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro1d 10h ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos14h ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger881d 21h ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk771d 18h ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos1d 16h ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris1d 12h ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno18d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
