GameDynamo - "The wait seemed to be never ending, but the 3DS finally arrived at retail stores worldwide, so hopefully you’re one of the lucky gamers who already has one, and if not, here’s our review of the device to help you figure out if the Nintendo 3DS is the handheld for you or if you should hold off for now. "
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.
i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.
nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.
people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly
mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.
zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.
nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.
its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.
but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.
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."
Definitely loving it so far! It does give me headaches after playing in 3D for a while, but it looks good in 2D too, so no biggie.
I have one, but none of the launch games interest me. I only have street fighter right now.
The thing I am most disappointed with is something that most articles neglect to mention -- the 3D "eye training" doesn't bother me all that much, the weak battery doesn't really bug me either, and neither does the viewing angle thing, or the fingerprint-prone surface, the low quality camera, the misplaced stylus, etc. etc.
Its the fact that DS emulation is kinda sub-par that bugs me. Some DS games get stretched out, or look odd, or run a little slowly. If I buy a system to replace another, it should do that job well.
3DS is very appealing to me, outside of that issue.
ima wait till some games come out to decide if I'm going to get one.
Yeah the launch titles are disappointing, but I am waiting for Paper Mario, being a huge Mario and RPG fan.
