The fog of Nintendo's newest console has lifted. We know it's price, we know the games slated for release, and battery life. With Nintendo's press conference, Tree House Live events are over, and we now know what this console is and isn't capable of handling. The question stands, has Nintendo won you over with, Zelda Breath of the Wild, Mario kart 8, Splatoon 2, ARMS, Mario Odyssey, or is this system a hard pass?
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move

Especially for Microsoft, when Booty pretty much said they didn't know how to handle that many studios.
Why even make the acquisition then.
Didn’t they make the swipe for Bethesda when Sony wanted like 6 months exclusiveness for Starfield
It’s like…chill, you got Rise of the Tomb Raider for a year.
Do they always come with senseless cuts becasue that's exactly what cutting Tango was, senseless.
Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
Steam / Valve are one of the few truly pro-consumer bright spots in gaming right now. Thankfully.
“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”
1 hour later.
“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
One modder produced an unofficial, modern-day take on the Game Gear.
Yes, it has. I was initially against the Nintendo Switch because of its weaker than gen 8 hardware, then I rewatched Nintendo's Switch presentation and read previews. Apparently, the Switch's "HD rumble" (Haptic feedback) is the real deal, and it makes gameplay more immersive (developers can actually program real life sensations that people experience in everyday life - like climbing ladders, filling a glass of water, or dribbling and shooting a basketball). Knowing that both the Joycons and the Switch's pro controller both feature the HD rumble tech, I'm glad because now it isn't limited to a single player like how VR is.
Oh yeah. Can't wait!
Yes, and I'm not even a console gamer. But there's so much here I want to be involved in!
Yes it has won me over and I will invest in it when the Zelda themed switch is made available.
NOPE
