That's a placeholder price. There's even a note that will refund the difference when official price is confirmed.

This shit is going to have Monster Hunter and mainline Pokemon games I can play on my TV. Combining their two development arms into one device is a bigger deal than graphics or any other reason you can think of to skip this. The combined output of their console and handheld divisions will crush...

Book 4 was fine, but it really suffers from it obviously being the first part of an obviously too large book that had to be split up into two.

It ain't ready for Holidays. Or rather the launch lineup isn't ready - they don't want a repeat of the Wii U and 3DS Launches.

Wii U has most the streaming apps I believe, so I don't see why not.. Netflix, Crunchryoll, Amazon, Hulu. It's probably up to those companies to make new versions. You can also stream Twitch and Plex via the Wii U's browser.

Outdated isn't the word you are looking for here. The tech is definitely underpowered compared to the current consoles (although not much behind the XB1), but "outdated" would imply they were using components/technology developed in the past - but this is cutting edge tech for mobile devices, an...

It's not outdated technology, the components were custom developed by nVidia for this device - the SoC is using the Pascal architecture, same thing the new 1000 series of desktop cards use. They didn't just get some shit off the shelf like they did for the 3DS. It would still be bad if it's not...

It's the remastered version that's releasing this month on XB1/PS4. The leaked dev console specs have it at ~1.02 Teraflops, compared to XB1's 1.3 tflops. Obviously a rumor, and Nintendo usually gets more out of their hardware than others. Don't expect concrete specs until someone gets their...

I doubt the release version's dock will include extra power, but they did patent that capability a few months ago so I could see it in the future. Difference between Wii U and Switch 3rd party launch support:

It will be closer to the 3DS than the Wii U controller, it's supposed to be portable after all.

They delayed to make sure their launch line up isn't terrible like the 3DS, Wii U, PS4, XB1. If Wii U had some of its top tier games (Splatoon, Mario Kart, Smash, Mario Maker, etc) at launch it would have sold a ton more early and kept selling. Their main problem was marketing and launch...

Those drawings proven to be fake I believe. Although someone at Foxconn WILL leak it sooner than later as it just started Trial production - Nintendo needs to reveal soon, like days/weeks not months.

Until mobile phones add tactile controls in an ergonomic way and have Pokemon and Monster Hunter, handheld consoles will live on. The market may continue to shrink from the 60-70 million it's at now, but it's not going to die out completely anytime soon.

My team scored 150 points this week, spread it out some please.

Because this is a runner game with a single tap control. The games that push their handheld consoles wouldn't work on touch controls. These mobile games are just to get people into the Nintendo ecosystem - Pokemon Go already caused a big enough boost to 3DS hardware to make it the best selling...

What? The Wii U definitely didn't use friend codes, and the 3DS doesn't anymore either (I think it did when it first launched). Nintendo has a PSN/XBL type system in place, it's just not as feature rich and the account is tied to the console (which is dumb and hopefully changes for the NX). But...

Not like he's damaged his spine yet.

How do I get in on this? Haven't played since MoP but want to try Shadow Priest.

Nintendo make a ton off their hardware still, more than their software. If they went 3rd party, there would no longer be a reason for them to make their own hardware. Without that revenue, they would have to SEVERELY downsize staff. That means less games, lower quality games, etc. They would...

I'll be there.

That wouldn't make money, or not enough money. Even if they made a console with superior specs to Scorpio/Neo, 3rd parties wouldn't return unless it sold so many consoles it was too hard to ignore. Which means it would have to sell on it's own merits (innovative gimmicks, Nintendo first/second...

They will clearly market it as being the best "Games on the Go" machine out there. It will be like Vita's marketing, except this thing can actually hook up to a dock and connect via HDMI to your TV. Not to mention it will allow for console quality versions of the next Monster Hunter and Pokemon...

I don't think you read that article carefully. The majority of the loss in that quarter was due to the strong yen and the exchange rate.

Trying to compete with Sony and MS on hardware is stupid, they have way more resources to wage that battle. Especially with both set to release updated versions of their consoles within 1.5 years. That's why Nintendo doesn't see themselves as competing with either - they will continue trying to...

Finally got to new forums. I claimed my team from last year (Too Many Cooks).

3DS #1 selling system (consoles included) in July. Pokemon X/Y sales up 200% over last July. Pokemon ORAS sales up over 80%. Both games are years old. Safe to say Pokemon Go has already translated to sales for Nintendo. I wonder what the pre-order numbers for Sun/Moon are. Edit - source: July...

This patent just got issued to Nintendo, they submitted it awhile ago: Nintendo's Supplemental Computing Devices patent almost granted, issue fee paid - NeoGAF Basically, this thing could be the dock that the NX connects to for HDMI output that beefs it up from ~720p on the handheld to...

This is from 2014, so you'd need to look at their more recent financials, which they release every quarter. Also, this is before Amiibo's, which have been very successful venture for Nintendo - which also would count as "hardware/accessories". A Deeper Analysis of Nintendot Drop Hardware...

I think Nintendo's software would suffer if they had to go 3rd party. They still make the majority of their money with hardware, so they'd have to become a much smaller company - with less releases that would most likely be limited only to their core IPs (2D Mario platformer, 3D Mario...

Next week's episode is on Mother's Day, that isn't a coincidence. Tower of Joy hype.

Nintendo still has a ton of cash, they are fine. The delays hurt mindshare more than causing them to go bankrupt. The Mariners thing also has nothing to do with financials - the old owner of Nintendo bought a large stake in it to keep the team from moving out of Seattle in the 90s, as a...

Retro's game they are working on for NX isn't Donkey Kong or Metroid supposedly, aka a completely new IP.

3D Printing is so much more accessible now, can't trust anything.

https://www.facebook.com/adultswim/p...53948493286745 Does this deserve it's own thread? Who cares FLCL was awesome. 12 new episodes, animation done by Production I.G./Williams Street (Adult Swim's animation studio) and directed by Katsuyuki Motohiro. They better bring back the Pillows...

Fakeboys Original NX Controller leak revealed fake by leaker. - NeoGAF Second guy just piggy backed off this guy's design.

Apparently the only reason it's releasing 3 weeks delayed in the U.S. is because our new fiscal year will have started by then and Bandai Namco's US publishing division want those sales credited to next year. Really stupid reason for both players and game developers, but makes total sense.

Zero chance Microsoft does anything to penalize those people. This isn't unique to Dark Souls 3 either, you could do this with any game on the Xbox store for a long time now.

This is the first time I've regretted not buying an XB1. I hope Namco just releases it for everyone at this point. Their twitter feed is getting MEGA hate.

Nintendo generally breaks even or makes a profit on each console sold. That's why their hardware has been underpowered (that and they don't want to go over a $350 price point). But even the PS4/XB1 were closer to profitability, compared to enormous losses MS/Sony took with the previous...

They still are the best content producers, by a long shot. There's like 20ish exclusives on the Wii U with a Metacritic over 75, and the bulk of those are Nintendo first or second party games.
