Nintendo Switch: The End of Nintendo’s Legacy

Nintendo Switch launches in March 2017, and it might be Nintendo's last console and the end of a legacy.

WTF are u smokin'?

The Bloggers Bud.. It is a stupid drug that stupid kids use when they write stupid articles. It is something journalists with college degrees, ethics, and experience don't use.

[MrBrofist]

Im guessing either meth or crack....yeah definitely crack

[Neonridr]

why would it be their last?

[Herbalistic]

Nintendo aren't going any where though.They produce tons of quality software but just need to catch up to modern times in terms of hardware/online features.

[InTheZoneAC]

Nintendo isn't...

but it's ok to disagree if you're compelled to deflect rather than accept. I've been corrected a few times on the internet and I made sure to not make the same mistake. Not because I care what people think, but because I know it's right. So disagree all you want...

[gbsrnctaln]

Amen. God this mistake drives me nuts!

As a longtime Nintendo fan, even I will admit the company has lost their way over the last several years. I'm hopeful that the switch will do well but I also remain skeptical because of the bad business practices and out of touch behavior that the company has. For now I'll give them a chance but if I'm disappointed by that reveal tomorrow I'll def have a lot to say lol

[Herbalistic]

I'm skeptical myself and will take a wait and see approach when it comes to Switch.I just hope Nintendo makes the modern jump and not allow themselves to be stuck in time.

The Switch looks to of ticked all the right boxes though. Its way sleeker and more up to date than Wii,DS or 3DS,Wiiu were.

[InTheZoneAC]

3 people believe you're not a fan that believes the company has always found their way over the last several years and that you're not hopeful it'll do well because of their in touch with their consumers business. And they believe you won't give them a chance and have no chance of being disappointed by the reveal tomorrow...

[EddieNX]

The Switch is the future of Nintendo! I see it going the way of the IPad or IPhone in terms of new iterations just being upgrades. Ten years from now well be playing the Switch 4S or something like that ;)

Combine 3DS and Wiiu take away the gimmicks, increase the power and you have a Switch.
Ironically take a piece of dog poop and combine it with some vomit and you get this article.

[gbsrnctaln]

Somebody doesn't understand irony lol.

[Romudeth]

The Switch will either be a huge success or a massive flop. I don't really see a middle ground with this system. I'm looking forward to seeing what it's all about on Friday.

[sk8ofmnd]

I think it will be a flash in the pan for a year or two. But once nintendo fans dont buy enough third partys to warrant more future releases... It will be a wiiu situation all over again.

[Romudeth]

I think you're probably right about this one. The Switch will be a hit for about a year, but after that, it's going to look grim. We'll see though.

[SwiffEpics]

This man definitely backs up these words

[Bronxs15]

You can say that again. Very well supported arguments.

[bamillington]

stupid headline. everything i hate about n4g

[FallenAngel1984]

Nintendo has made bad business decisions, but I doubt it'd result in them going under

[RosweeSon]

Oh the Drama!

[senorfartcushion]

You're a day early for your opinion, son.

[sk8ofmnd]

Nintendos legacy died the moment the wii was released... In my opinion.

[InTheZoneAC]

Amen!

I truly believe if the Switch fails this is Nintendo's last console. EVERYONE knows they will be strong with software so I'm not sure what people are smoking when they read "this may be Nintendos last console", but respond "wtf is everyone smoking we know they produce software"...way to confuse the **** out of yourself. No one's arguing Nintendo isn't going to produce software.

So if Switch fails, say hello to Nintendo software done right...on the PS5!!!

[sk8ofmnd]

I wonder if nintendo fans would shun nintendo if they went to the ps5? Or would they finally join the playstation family in holy matrimony 😼. Just think how different things would be if the nintendo playstation ever happened...

[InTheZoneAC]

MS shuts down gaming division...or maybe they just bring over their exclusives as well...

[gbsrnctaln]

The wiiu was there last home console. This handheld that outs to the tv crap aint fooling anybody.

[Huguinho]

"the koalition"... i can see a very serious site, click it.

[Aenea]

Nintendo has enough cash money to create another console after this one, don't woryy!

[3-4-5]

embarrassing opinion

[sk8ofmnd]

I imagine they will say he same thing if the switch fails and the one after that. Nintendo have investors to answer to just like anyone else.

[Bronxs15]

Great article. That was a well thought out option

[KaZeDaRKWIND]

This thing could literally sell 0 units and they'd still make a new console eventually.

[BrettAwesome]

I love Nintendo. But I think this article is fair. They messed up. I know tons of people who own ps and xbox but only two (myself included) who own wii U. The WiiU is great, but it doesn't matter if nobody knows it even exists. No casual gamer cares about Nintendo anymore...sad but true. I'll still pick up a Switch though

[punctualdork]

Sorry, do you not realize that the PS4 and Xbox One might be the last consoles too?
