An image to illustrate Nintendo's recent errors and mistakes.
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 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
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.
Some of that is a little harsh.
Stock tends to drop when a new console is announced. This isn't exclusive to the Nintendo Wii U, it's just a fact of business.
Yet with all these "mistakes" when the wii U comes out it will sell like crazy. i for one will not buy one but for some reason people are stupid enough to just buy things regardless of what it is.
we have a lot of people with crystal balls on N4G.
many said the 3ds would dominate all, but look how that went.
Best to wait and see what happens or what is announced OR what is shown between NOW and the release of the Wii U.
That friend codes thing is only true for the 3DS. wiiu they got rid of them.
...While I enjoy my Wii and DS and the games for each console, I can't think of a single thing Nintendo has done where I've thought, "Gee, that was a really good idea."
Oddly enough, I can think of dozens of instances where I've thought, "Gee, Nintendo is really fucking stupid" in the last week alone.
If I could play Zelda on my PS3, I'd be done with them forever.
