Changes IGN would appreciate when the Nintendo 3DS gets redesigned
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."
In the eyes of many a gamer worldwide, the Nintendo 3DS console is already the industry leading handheld. A redesign with a second circle pad would push it over the limit as one of the most legendary devices ever created.
It is already backed by industry leading tech with dual screens to give the players complete battlefield control at all times. State of the art 3D, no glasses required. Well equipped with a healthy and forever growing arsenal of 1st party and 3rd party exclusives. Combine all of that with the perfectly capable next generation graphics glistening from both screens, its not hard to see how the 3DS achieved the number 1 spot.
If you think things are going great now. Try imagining the success of a Nintendo 3DS redesign. Nintendo has proven time and time again that hard work, 1st class exclusives, and bleeding edge tech & innovation pays off. The world would be taken by storm and not a soul would be ready for it.
Rated E For Everyone
You'd think they'd have seen the failings in the PSP's single "analog" nub. I'm sorry, but having spent plenty of time with Kid Icarus: Uprising, it's plain to see the current design is flawed and Nintendo needs to step away from the stylus for core games where camera control is vital.
I agree with all of IGN's changes and I'd like to add: a better music player. Or should I say louder? Seriously, its like the max volume is set for infants. My ipod is WAY louder than this. Come on Nintendo, big kids play this thing too.
Edit: Oh yeah, and since it can support it: custom soundtracks. MarioKart to your own music. Too good to be true.
