Nintendo's next console is currently the hot topic of the gaming world, with the focus currently resting on the controller. That is quite understandable considering how the Wii's controller changed the industry completely. New rumors suggest that the controller will feature a 6" touchscreen, a front facing camera, IR lights and even traditional buttons.
I think that this controller will replace the classic controller when used with the console, working alongside the Wii Remote Plus as the main controller for the system, and actually become the system when used on the go. It is no secret that Japan has largely moved towards portable gaming and I think this console will be Nintendo's first attempt at a hybrid of sorts.
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal
I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that
Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣
I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.
Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."
You can't make this crap up lol
Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base
In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release
Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day
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.
Its a DS with two thumbsticks.
interesting...though it would feel weird in (my) hands if both joysticks were on the upper part of the interface. then again this is only a mockup. still very interesting
I believe the new controller will still look much like the Wii controller.
The big reason why the Wii was successful was because it was so approachable for non-gamers and casuals. The controller looks just like a TV remote control. Why would Nintendo risk alienating all of the new "gamers" with a controller that looks much more hardcore? Also, the price of a touch screen on every controller is also going to be cost prohibitive unless Nintendo is going to use re-purposed and recycled ipod touches...:-p
Oh man.. I'm not nintendo Fan, but if this is true wow.. not so much those images but there version of what controller is gonna look like. Happy for them..
Side note
If Sony was smart enough they start developing tool with the NGP to be use also a controller, but also keep the same function of the NGP in-tack...
Imagine playing hypotically (MG5) and at certain time of the game, u have to use your NGP as a PDA device..Man oh Man.. Iove were gaming is going...
hey look at that , is a white sega nomad
