Dan, Joe and their special guest Micky, talk about Nintendo's Confrence. Was it really as bad as what people are making it seem? Is StarFox doomed?
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.
It was definitely NOT one of their best performances.
Federation Force left a very bad taste in the mouths of many fans that have been CRAVING a new Metroid game to follow up on Prime 4, and their lack of focus on games like Fatal Frame and Devil's Third was another blow to the overall mood of the conference.
Had they not introduced Federation Force as an entry in the Prime universe, the backlash wouldn't have been nearly as bad as it was.
They really underestimated how much fans want Prime 4.XD
Now that the shock has worn off and the trolls have had their chance to romp in the rain for a couple of days, while spreading doom&gloom articles, tempers and more even-keeled articles, which give fair credit to games like Star Fox Zero and M&L Paper Jam, have started to appear.
It doesn't erase the failures, but it's slowly dawning on people that there were still a few great titles, both known and new, worth paying attention to in that Direct.
After the rain comes the sunshine, as they say.
