Marc laments Nintendo's decision to abstain from having an E3 press conference this year.
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
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
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.
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
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
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.
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.
I hated those kind of kids growing up. Everything is great when they're winning though...
Are you kidding me? They are not going to be at E3. Ninty, I purchased your system. You better show some signs of life here otherwise I may never speak to you again.
"Nintendo Takes Its Ball and Goes Home"
lol
I kind of saw something like this coming. That's not to say I like it.
You could see them put a great deal of importance into their Nintendo Directs. It really did escalate over time. It went from largely focusing on updates for existing titles to world exclusive unveilings in every broadcast. I kind of wondered why they weren't saving this stuff for later. You don't make decisions like this overnight, so I think the two are related.
This is pretty big news that Nintendo quietly announced they won't be at e3. I'm surprised I haven't seen more on it. Most people were predicting this two years ago when they first announced the WiiU. They should have seen it too, so really it's their own fault (as the article says).
This industry needs a strong Nintendo. This news is not good for anybody.
