Mostly because there is no such thing as a Nintendo Fusion.

SpiralTear3784d ago

Wasn't there some festival tour called the Nintendo Fusion back in the day?

geekspodcast3784d ago

There was! Headed by Fall Out boy I think?

sonic9893784d ago

simply if you noticed the specs dont match out very well ( the tflops output ) .
on the other hand nintendo just needs to rebrand the wiiu not change the name entirely but change the logo much like the PS3 logo .

Iamnemesis48803784d ago

And beef up the hardware get it on par with the X1 and PS4.

sonic9893784d ago

no need for that the Wii did just fine with its hardware .
power doesnt equal more sales or being more successful .
the problem is that nintendo played some not so clever mind games with their wider casual demographic those people wont notice that U mark on the system or on the box and to make the matter even worse the hardware design of the system it self isnt that different from the original wii design .
so basically reintroduce the system with a new logo ( not a new name ) and hardware redesign if possible some games and bam people especially the casual ones will finally know whats going on .
even though i am a big Sony fan but most importantly i care for the experience and not how many TFlops that system can deliver because in the end its the games and the features that speaks to you not the hardware and it looks like sony gets it right for me .

biggest mistake for Nintendo was gamepad

they should have focused on making the actual system specs better, also didn't nintendo get any feedback from developers? it seems like they just went with what they thought was good enough. Yes wii sold but it didn't get much help from 3rd parties, many people who bought wii played wii sports than never touched or bought another game

Nintendo is going the same Route as Sega and its sad because Nintendo makes some great games.

Iamnemesis48803784d ago

It is going to happen the wii u is not the flagship console Nintendo was hopeing for they need to pick up there game.

I can't believe how people can't use common sense to analyse a RUMOR.

1. It's just that a RUMOR. No one has stated that it is true and the main people that will state such a fact would be Nintendo themselves. STOP JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS IT MAKES YOU GUYS LOOK STUPID AND IGNORANT.

2. If you trolls (because it's mainly trolls) are going to comment why not take in to account researching the development stages of consoles. In the beginning stages of development consoles may have things, or may not have things, included in to the final product.

3. For the tards that are saying its stupid, and nintendo is dumb for wanting to release a new console already... NOOO NO JUST NOOO. Fuck off and take some time to learn that game console development starts right after the latest console release. This has been stated before by nintendo themselves and i'm pretty sure sony and/or Microsoft have stated the same thing.

4. Just because specs were leaked or a rumor arose that there is already a new console being developed IT DOESN'T MEAN IT WILL COME OUT ANY TIME SOON. Use your common sense jesus christ do you people just leave your common sense to collect dust. Console development takes years and on top of that they need to make the right decision of when to take it out considering they have another product already in the marked(previous gen system). They let previous gen run its course.

5. And for the people that think they are tech savvy (no offense for what I will say). You might know your tech but that doesn't mean you are knowledgeable of what's happening at Nintendo this very moment. Who knows they might have these spec they might not. They might have a GPU or a CPU that runs at those rates maybe not. Point is since you don't know if they do or if they don't you can't automatically say "Oh no this is fake cuz the CPU's terraflops are not right" or "No no no this is stupid cuz the GPU isn't right" I'm pretty sure you get the point. You don't have actual fact to prove this is or isn't, yes its a rumor and rumors aren't trust worthy either but the only people doing any damage here are you guys trying to state your opinion like if you actually know its a fact.

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

H914d 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

OtterX14d ago

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

H914d 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

ZeekQuattro14d 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. 🤣

Kneetos13d ago

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

banger8814d 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.

Relientk7714d 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

Profchaos14d 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

SonOfOsiris14d 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."

RiseNShine31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

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_drake31d ago (Edited 31d 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.

Inverno31d 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.
