Simon Smith from Gameluster discusses what he wants to see from Nintendo at E3 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
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
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.
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.
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.
A new console that can do 4K and to win back 3Rd party software
An actual show on stage would be nice.
Super Mario Sunshine Remastered For 3ds or Wii U , New Animal Crossing Wii U ,Zelda News, Hopefully A Pokemon Z or some other type for the 3ds , pokken tournament news , more Mario kart dlc , I can dream lol . Luigi Mansion Wii U .
A long shot prediction but i reckon they're working on a Smash Bros anime. When that Link vs Pit short dropped last E3 it just had so much work and detail in it for something which was just a character intro. Miyamoto has been tinkering with film making with Pikmin and Universal Studios are pretty close to Nintendo right now. Plus, Nintendo are quite popular in Japan so im sure theyd have no problem finding a production house and the audience is there. I dont like Smash Bros but id watch the hell out of an anime based on it.
Again, long shot - but until E3 happens then i believe anything is possible
OK, if we get to make an E3 wishlist heres mine:
Wii-U:
Starfox
F-Zero
Mario Maker
Metroid
Devils Third
Project Robot
Project Guard
Shin Megami X Fire Emblem
New Smash bros DLC
Dragon Quest 10
Final Fantasy 7 remake (Exclusive)
Xenoblade X
3DS:
Golden Sun
Mother 3 (Earthbound)
Pikmin
Fire Emblem If
