Nintendo Says No Fear Of The Arrival of PSP2

Nintendo is not afraid of his strongest rival in this world and threw a poisoned dart to Sony with several statements.

Japan expects its product is better made by the other Japanese on January 27 and everything is a matter of weeks.

The arrival of PSP2 or PSP 2 Sony may be vital to seeing the good reception that Nintendo had in Amsterdam and everything these days magnified.

wait a second... this is old >_>

StbI9904844d ago

Place ur bet pipoh...

Psp2 = http://img199.imageshack.us... = Revolution

3DS = http://img99.imageshack.us/... = LOL

Sry nintendo...altho I see you winning a good percent of the marketshare over the few momth ahead it is getting, I don't see player stopping thinking about the psp2 after what've been seen LOL

sdtarm4844d ago

whatever you say Ninti altho i dont think the same :)

jony_dols4844d ago

One word tonight struck fear into Nintendo's heart.

COD.

BISHOP-BRASIL4844d ago

I don't think Ninty should be afraid, no ono buy Nintendo handhelds waiting for great tech, they managed to sell a crapload of DSes all around purely on games and coolness, if anything Pokémon alone will keep 3DS alive and well.

That's not to say Sony won't put up a fight, au contrair, they may as well win this round, just don't expect 3DS to put a dream cast and NGP a PS2. Gaming market today is a lot more competitive thi days, this gen consoles already show that.

One thing I know for sure, today I scratched 3DS off of my list, now I'm just waiting to know more about NGP and Xperia Play (PS Phone).

djslapdash4844d ago

I bet that is the same comment you said about DS vs PSP.

schlanz4844d ago

ITT: N4G thinks core gamers are the only ones buying handhelds

3DS will ****ing crush NGP sales-wise.

I'm getting both of them, I love handhelds and always have.

ComboBreaker4844d ago

However, Nintedno could be seen shaking uncontrollably, but claims it's probably from the winter cold.

Of course they're not afraid. They're number one with a very loyal customer base. But so does SONY. They're both gonna do just fine.

StbI9904844d ago

Wishing the best for them, just hoping pirates can go to shit at pulling pirates game son this..looking at the SD card which seem patented, doubt it will be pulled.

pain777pas4844d ago

That is the truth. Both should do well and both are spaced out enough to get both this year. Sounds good to me! PSP2 looks like its the real deal though. There is nothing I can complain about with this reveal. E3 will be massive.

HolyOrangeCows4844d ago

If you say so, Nintendo. If you REALLY say that a 2-sticked handheld with COD on the way isn't a threat, I believe you.

EYEamNUMBER14844d ago (Edited 4844d ago )

what WONT have COD on it? nothing

in all honesty you everyone is giving COD too much credit because if it isn't an all new exclusive game for the system then its really not gonna be as big a deal as everyone seems to think it is

will it sell very well either way? without a doubt
will it be a big deal? i don't really think so

StbI9904844d ago

It is not the credit of it being a good game but a hype nucke which can sell over 9000 thousand LOL...

Sure dud, when have you seen a portable device with ONLINE capabilities? NEVER...it will sell surely? no, it won't...it will take every hardcomre from microsoft to sony fan over it = fatality...

and yes, that is HUGE deal...AAAA HUGE deal, lest that microsoft come with a device too which is very doubtful.

DeepInterludium4844d ago (Edited 4844d ago )

I think CoD NGP is the big deal because it won't look at play like shit, like the 3DS/Wii versions will.

Thatguy-3104844d ago

it is a big deal !! mean what COD gamer wouldnt like to play on the go ??
this is aim at the hardcore xbox360/ps3 players believe me ppl are gonna go crazy for this

darkdoom30004844d ago

I think the bigger thing is the inevedible monster hunter, which will mean super hotcakes in japan,

Plus, unreal engine3 support for the westerners.

EYEamNUMBER14844d ago

wouldn't hold your breath on that one the capcom CEO already practically said MH is gonna jump ship to the 3DS and with he way capcom likes to spend very little money on making MH games i really don't doubt it

dragonyght4844d ago

sony got all territory cover COD 4da state and monster hunter japan. EU they got...??? im sure EA will get a FIFA ready by then

gamingisnotacrime4844d ago

And Kojima is working on a game that you play on the PS3 and continue playing on this BEAST that is to replace the PSP

Im shitting my pants man
day one at $399, dont give a sht

Sarcasm4844d ago

Say what you want people, but the idea of COD "anywhere" without dumbed down graphics could be a huge selling point for the millions of COD players. This is now possible with the dual analog sticks and 3G support.

ozstar4844d ago

COD = Beat in sales by New Super Mario Brothers Wii
GTA4 = Beat in sales by Mario Kart Wii

Im sorry, you were saying HolyOrangeCows?

@Deepinterludium, dude, why do you even bother with that sort of comment. One bubble down, four to go.

my friend Captain Hindsight told me there will be 3487465379846 more articles with the 3DS vs PSP 2.

djslapdash4844d ago

I know what you mean.

If Nintendo listened to the Sony/Xbox fanboys they should have left the industry in the last generation and not wasted time making billions and monopolizing the market.

Hopefully this time they'll listen.

MGRogue20174844d ago (Edited 4844d ago )

They should be worried. PSP 2 is going to shit all over the 3DS!

Can't wait to play Uncharted, Killzone & Call of Duty on my regular bus journey from work. :D

soren4844d ago

havent you played all that crap already? lol i can garentee there not even new installments maybe you should get your hopes up for new games not the same crap im for one am hopeing they can get some brand new games on the psp so maybe i can get one if not well ill be sticking witht he world mostr trusted handheld 3ds ware i can play all types of games i just hope that 2nd anolog stick dident kill the potentiol of new types of psp games i sence only first person shooters..... and it begins

Nintendo and Google get roped into Microsoft's FTC defense

Microsoft has now called on Nintendo and Google to aid in its fight with the FTC over its merger with Activision Blizzard.

Jin_Sakai446d ago (Edited 446d ago )

I’m really starting to despise Microsoft and Xbox at this point. Might just sell the Series X and buy a Switch to compliment our PS5’s. Metroid, Zelda: TotK, and Pikmin 4 are just months away at this point.

Neonridr446d ago

PS5 + Switch is honestly the best combo.

Jin_Sakai446d ago

Agreed. Both have amazing first party games!

Orchard446d ago

SteamDeck + Switch.

Xbox and PS games are playable on SD.

badz149446d ago

@Orchard

why would you want to play the worst versions of PS5 and Xbox SX games? the only thing the SD runs better than the original is Switch games

Orchard446d ago

@badz SD plays most games well. But if it's not up to your standards, just get a PC. PC/SteamDeck + Switch.

446d ago
S2Killinit446d ago

PS5 and Switch is definitely the way to go.

Jin_Sakai446d ago

“The Nintendo switch is a kids play thing compared to steam deck. It pummels the switch into the ground.”

Not thanks. I enjoy Nintendo games and love the OLED display.

FinalFantasyFanatic446d ago (Edited 446d ago )

@Orchard,
Your still missing out on alot of PS games doing that, Personally I'd go PS + Switch, but I also have a PC, so for me it's PS + Switch + PC and that gets me almost every game.

One day I'll get a Steam Deck to compliment my PC library of games, maybe when Steam Deck 2 comes out.

446d ago
BehindTheRows446d ago

PS5 + Switch + PC. But, close enough :P

The Wood445d ago (Edited 445d ago )

orchard...are you bored in life. Do you love pantomime or wanna be the lead attorney for Microsoft if all you do is cap for the brand doing the least. No disrespect intended but have a child , wife or play golf or something because you presence is weird. Dont strike me mods..... dude cant stop

You despise them because of a court case? Feels like an overreaction.

You despise Sony because of what? Great consoles and great game consistenly?

Seems ridiculous hating on the gaming company giving us the most.

Your sd+switch comment is a joke but hey, expect nothing less from you.

notachance446d ago

Honestly it’s kind of amazing how Phil managed to make people like orchard keep defending the console after 2 generations of mediocrity.

thesoftware730446d ago

Lol, I get it..but at this point, what are MS to do? Just sit back and let it be blocked?

Also, remember when other companies agreed with Sony, you didn't seem this perturbed.

porkChop446d ago

What? You're overreacting. This is how literally any court case works. Calling on competitors, witnesses, etc., is standard practice. It's called building a defense. The FTC have been doing the exact same in building their case by calling on Sony for example. You don't build a strong case by making unsubstantiated claims, you need witnesses or documents to back them up.

giovonni445d ago

I mean, it’s logic when it comes to any other company, but it’s an issue when MS does it (builds its case.) It’s way too many emotional comments with no real facts to back it up. Just cause a company says something doesn’t make it factual as specially in the court of law. After reviewing the evidence so far the FTC needs a stronger case.

PapaBop446d ago

If only they put this much effort into actually making their own games.

BehindTheRows446d ago

Exactly. Xbox cheerleaders can drive around this road block all they want, but nothing matters more than this! When they start releasing their OWN games, we can start to credit Microsoft with a contribution to accelerating our medium. Until then, they're simply making useless noise.

CobraKai446d ago

I got all 3 but most of my play time is between PlayStation and Switch…. Yeah MS needs all the help it can get.

JL2930446d ago

Who told you Metroid is months away?

Obscure_Observer446d ago

@Jin_Sakai

"I’m really starting to despise Microsoft and Xbox at this point. Might just sell the Series X and buy a Switch to compliment our PS5’s. Metroid, Zelda: TotK, and Pikmin 4 are just months away at this point."

Finally! Do it! Bookmarked!

NotoriousWhiz446d ago (Edited 446d ago )

You can hate the CEO / leadership without hating the product. Don't let company politics ruin your enjoyment of a product.

Also, Switch is great. If you don't have one, I can highly recommend it, even with reduced performance compared to the current gen consoles.

BehindTheRows446d ago

I agree with your sentiment, but they go hand-in-hand. Once a company leaves a bad taste in your mouth, you aren't going to desire their products (or may desire them much less than before). And he clearly isn't alone. Xbox's numbers are down all around. That tells me what the public thinks.

In 2023, they have their work cut out for them. If nothing changes, they will eventually fall into obscurity with Nintendo and Sony continuing to truck along doing what they have for over 25 years — providing experiences you cannot get elsewhere. The multitrillion dollar company could learn a thing or two from those mere mortals.

446d ago
Focus40445d ago

Did Microsoft touch down there

Tody_ZA445d ago

My combo is PC and PS5. Switch Games are amazing but Nintendo's infrastructure and marketplace puts me off. Decade old games still go for full price and hardly have specials.

MontyeKristo445d ago

You just now despise MS and Xbox? Bro, who you lying to - you been hating on MS and Xbox for yeeeeeeears.

Your mad because the are attempting to buy a company and are calling in people/companies that could possibly aid them in doing so? If the FTC and the UK's counterpart are fighting it - should they just be "okay, okay, you win!" Nah, that's stupid.

Y'all mad for what reason? They are trying to build a bigger better brand and y'all mad. Not like MS and Sony don't own near the same amount of studios, now. It's been lopsided for years but you've never complained or cried foul when Sony was buying up companies/studios.

Get over yourself.

This is what nintendo gets for back stabbing Sony, by entertaining MS stupid offers instead of siding with Sony help them, o well, at this point Nintendo seems to be the more stable of the 3 companies, and they compite with no one at the moment.

jonny897446d ago

Sure, the company whose Play Store revenue you want to diminish will certainly help you in acquiring Candy Crush and COD Mobile.

Orchard446d ago (Edited 446d ago )

How will this acquisition have an impact on Googles Android store revenue?

And how are MS trying to diminish their store revenue today? Microsoft even sell devices that run Android and have the Play Store as their marketplace…

Orchard446d ago

I did. I couldn't find any mention of Microsoft planning to pull COD mobile and Candy Crash from the Android Play Store.

Hofstaderman446d ago

Not to mention MS has been a proxy agent in the Apple VS Google saga. So don’t be surprised if MS is banking on that. Slimeballs

Thundercat77446d ago

Wow.... Microsoft is out of control over this matter. I can't help but wonder how many people are they bribing to get this?

badz149446d ago

Maybe we will get news that Nintendo and Google both claim MS approach as harassment too after this.

FinalFantasyFanatic446d ago

I smell an incredible amount of desperation on Microsoft's part, it's getting to the point where the desperation is disgusting.

XiNatsuDragnel446d ago

Microsoft just stop dragging companies into your own mess if you did to them like you did Sony imo you need to give it up with performance Data. Also isn't Google against Microsoft?

They are, and they'll probably fight the subpoena just like Sony did.

10 Things Everyone Chooses To Ignore About Nintendo

Nintendo have done some really questionable things in the past, and it's time someone exposed their not-so-family-friendly past.

Spenok1599d ago

This is a really bad list.... but only because the title sucks and is so all encompassing. If it pointed out that the FANBOYS choose to ignore these things, than sure. But otherwise, these things are well known and documented.

Some of the things are really dumb. Especially the connection to the Yakuza. Their reasons are completely baseless, and really idiotic.

“ Once Upon A Time, Nintendo Made Erotic Playing Cards”

“ Nintendo Ran A Love Hotel”

“ Nintendo Was Associated With Gangsters”

“ They Once Had A Cartoon That Was Awful”

Wtf? Those aren’t even gaming related. At this point this dumb site is as bad as GamingBolt, if not worst.

“ They Charge People To Play Classic Games”

In what world do you get to play classic games for free on other console? 🤦‍♂️

1599d ago
rainslacker1598d ago

i used to like the Mario cartoon. On friday's they'd have the Zelda cartoon.

The yakuza connection was that the Yakuza preferred Nintendo playing cards, and Nintendo did nothing to stop them from buying them...because that's what Nintendo should do for some reason. I'd say most gamers don't realize that nintendo didn't start with computer games. "Love Hotels" aren't illegal, anywhere. Unless they were providing escorts, I don't see the problem.

And the last one, yeah, everyone charges for that. No one gives their stuff away for free just because it's old.

Tross1598d ago (Edited 1598d ago )

Yeah, I'd love for a free service like VC, but I'm willing to pay for the actual games.

Nintendo axes debut mobile game Miitomo

Nintendo has announced the closure of Miitomo, which it launched in 2016 as its first foray into smartphone gaming.
