The 3DS is set to become Nintendo’s most successful handheld yet, with its ability to produce 3D visuals without the need for clunky glasses. What’s great about the system is that it has a switch to turn the 3D effect off. Unfortunately, Nintendo is allowing developers to ship 3DS games that don’t have 3D visuals whatsoever, a decision that will come to haunt the company after launch.
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.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
I think that what Nintendo is doing makes perfect sense. 3D is probably more expensive to make, and forcing this extra time and money on potential developers for the system would hurt Nintendo even more. Besides, no 3D gives devs a chance to make the graphics even better than what we've seen so far.
3D is marginally more expensive to implement. There's no reason for Nintendo to not to make it mandatory. Think about it.
"Hey, how come some of my 3DS games aren't in 3D?"
The games are going to cost upwards of $50. They should be using the platform's primary selling point. Ne excuses.
I think Nintendo did the right choice no to make it mandatory. I mean look if they did that then indie devs probably dont have the resource to do it. I highly doubt it would hurt Nintendo
