In the past, Nintendo has been notoriously stingy about helping third parties with...well, much of anything. But this time? This time they’re preempting their leap by not only asking for a bungee cord from the industry’s biggest anchors, but offering the best middleware licensing discount money can’t buy.
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."
Every Wii U article I read comments like, "what will the Wii U have that the other consoles won't?". Experienced gamers are suppose to know these things, yet people always have to educate them on the matter.
Like the article says - developers who produce niche products, will be attracted to the Wii U, because of its free middleware incentive. We might as well start calling the Wii U, "Super Wiitendo" at this point, cause its future looks promising.
Let see what Wii u can do in the next generation of console while ps4 and 720 are not yet unveiled.
I'm very excited on what is the full specs of this hardware, hopefully it has 1gb or at least 2gb of memory to be able to compete with their competitor when it comes to visual prowless lol.
I can clearly see that this hardware will be have Quad core processor, and hopefully it has 3-4ghz of speed
What a big incentive for sure! Its gotta generate quite a bit of WiiU development with free middleware from developers both larger and small alike
Gonna b interesting to see what this console can do and will do for yrs to come! :)
