he has a point tho, you could at least post your own impressions about the article instead of just a link.
Sounds cool but I would hate the phone when words like
Spoiler
Fuck shit bitch whore pussy
Get censored on texts. and I can’t cuss someone out like they deserve.
Maybe they should consider making home consoles that don’t suck.
I remember Sony trying their hand at that with the Xperia Play. I haven’t heard much from it since it was released so it must have not done well.
My God this industry and its consumers are pieces of shit.
Why the fuck do 2+ million people own Xbones after all the bullshit they tried?
Why do you buy a Nintendo console, but not buy any games that don’t have the plumber on the box AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT THIRD PARTY SUPPORT?
Why are there people who would actually cheer if Nintendo went away, but continue to give Capcom and EA money?
I hope everyone that has helped to create this shitty status quo gets exactly what they deserve. You fuckers on both sides are killing this industry…
Fuck you all.
It took longer than I expected, but I had a feeling. The Wii printed money, saved Nintendo, and Nintendo learned nothing. The moment that cash cow dried up, Nintendo started its descent into Sega territory.
Mobile phones will surpass ps3 by AUGUST this year and VR gaming is going to mobile so this is a smart idea
It will only give them atleast millions of sales. Reintroduce people to nintendo products and keep them even more current than xbot/playingstation because within 3/4 years mobile may surpass ps4 
Nintendo has always treated 3rd parties as unwashed 2nd class citizens. From the exclusivity clause (for all my youngins, 3rd parties weren’t allowed to develop for other consoles) of the 80s, to the 2000s/Gamecube era when they abandoned Western 2nd parties that pioneered a lot of today’s popular genres (FPS). And their remaining loyal fanbase seems to have adopted the same attitude, alienating other gamers who expect more than N’s catalog for the price of a console.
Wii is turning into Nintendo’s worst enemy, because the company didn’t consider how much of that system’s success was just a temporary fad, and how much of Nintendo’s baggage post-SNES would fall in the lap of Wii’s successor. Wii just kicked the can down the road.
I’m no fan of Xbone but why is this a bad thing? Xbone had bullshit and most of it is gone now. After all the fuss people made to get it changed they suppose to say fuck you when it actually happens? That’s some childish shit man
Wii U shouldn’t of had Wii in the title
And I dunno why nobody’s thought of this yet: a slim flip-cover control pad, that doesn’t add bulk to the phone/tablet. Like the MS Surface keyboard. Play your phone/tablet like a DS/3DS. There’s your tactile control for mobile gaming. The cover just needs to lock in place somehow, or actually be attached to the phone, for weight distribution issues.
Either way, I think control scheme and battery life are the only big things standing in the way of the Apple/Google mobile giants making traditional handhelds redundant. Assuming that a solution will never happen is a foolish gamble. The right light bulb just needs to go off at a tech company, and it’s a wrap. After that, I don’t know what Nintendo’s going to do to stay relevant.
I can see puzzle league being on smart phones.
I would totally get it especially if it was online then i would finally have someone to play.
Toodles has a phone like that, with a Dpad and four buttons.
A couple of things.
First smartphones suck for pretty much everything. They’re just portable internet devices that can handle crappy flash games so people have latched onto it like the fad it is. The best phone on the market right now is from HTC but nobody buys that in the US, they buy crappy iphones. It’s a status/fashion symbol and nothing more. The best value for high end is the Nexus 5, and the best budget/mid-range is the Moto G, which is more than the average person even needs or knows how to use.
The batteries are all garbage and can only last a couple of hours doing anything. The best battery on the market is the Droid Maxx, but even that would completely crap out playing a game within a couple of hours. A far cry from the battery life you expect out of a handheld and get from DS and 3DS. With far superior games that the phones can not handle at all either. Everyone is still stuck having to constantly charge their devices, making them far from portable and utterly pointless. If you have access to a computer to charge your phone you have a computer that can do everything better than your phone. People can’t wrap their heads around that. Because the marketing is strong for Apple and people in the US are mindless drones.
Someone DID make a portable gaming phone awhiles back. Apparently it didn’t do well because even SRK hadn’t heard of it. I can’t remember what it’s called because it was a stupid idea and I of course wouldn’t get it.
Nintendo will win this console war again. As soon as they start releasing their killer apps they win. Smash Bros, Mario Party, a Zelda game, a Mario game, Mario Kart and a bunch of local multiplayer games is all it will take. Casual gamers do not care about hardcore games where they sit by themselves for hours playing against other people on the internet or by themselves at home. They are looking for group stuff. Casual gamers are also looking for fun, easier games that are recognizable and that can be played by everyone. Nintendo excels at this, but they even have the hardcore group with Smash Bros., mixed in with the less serious gamers.
After the Wii U sells like gangbusters the media will change their tune and everyone will forget how stupid they were being. The 3DS was declared dead, PC gaming was declared dead, now console gaming is being declared dead. It’s always wrong, wrong, wrong.
Nintendo will be fine. They’ve been around for a long time. Their model works. They know what they’re doing for what they’re going for. There won’t be another Angry Birds, and if there is, it won’t be because you worked to it, it’ll be randomly popular. Angry Birds sucks and no gamer would want to play it, but for people that like to think they’re too good for games it’s perfect. But you just can’t build that type of environment intentionally. GLUU, Zynga and EA’s gaming revenue from smartphones just isn’t good. They’ve gone up recently because everyone has gone up recently with the Bernanke Put, but they are a far cry from a few years ago when they were actually doing really well. I don’t think it’s a viable industry at all. I’m not even sure Apple will be able to survive in a few years, they are likely to be in worse shape than Nintendo unless they manage to move into another sector quickly.
Of course as I’ve stated before, if these consoles (and Nintendo the handheld) went to a monthly payment system that could work. A new console every 2 years, maybe $100/200 up front and then $30 a month after that, then tag on another $50-100 a month for a subscription to “games” and that’s a model the American public right now likes to pay for their phones. They get sticker shock when they see the $650 price tag on iphones, but paying $30/mo for the phone for 24 months, which is actually $720, they don’t notice. That’s a loss of spending money every month but as long as it’s not at once, people are mindless to it. Make the games reverse compatible and keep porting for the older models so people can “sell” their older console or handheld and they’ll brag about how savvy they are. That’s the new America, where people finance themselves on debt and credit while barely able to get by every month.
lol you ought to realize you aren’t the primary demographic.
what the big 3 should do is sell you a system with interchangeable cards. I’d go back to console in a heart beat and put up with kinect bullshit.
secondly they need a service like steam. steam sells for uber cheap. how is steam thriving in the supposed pirate haven that us pc.
they need to get their heads out of their assed and allow more flexibility. all consoles act the same way those piece of shit apple products behave. closed architecture
because people like good graphics and want death. Nintendo doesnt offer that, things exist because that’s what people want. stop acting so suprised that people like bullshit because that’s what the masses love.
the GameCube was the strongest system in terms of power but failed due to those shitty dvds abd didn’t have the 3rd party support xbox and Ps2 had. the only thing nintendo took away from their failure.
people don’t care about graphics and want innovation. lol at them now. the wii did well only because it was cheaper and got non gamers who wouldn’t play to play. where are they now? certainly not playing the wii u. they either went to smartphones or graduated to pc xbone or ps4.
there isn’t balance because that balance is there. you like me (the minority) don’t like it and delude ourselves into believing its going to shit for the wrong reasons
Gabe believes that privacy is a service problem. He feels if a company provides easy, convenient and helpful service to your costumers they won’t resort to privacy. Honestly, it much easier to let steam install my game, auto update for patches and have the cool perks the instant messaging, built-in web browser, and fan guides then having to browse through torrent sites trying to find the game, a good crack and deal with the problems such things would bring.
Nintendo did before, Nintendo made games for the Atari 2600 and 5200.
And it sucks.
Skip it.
Putting Mario on a Smart Phone will Kill Nintendo. Other than the old Atari 2600, Nintendo IP never did well on non-nintendo systems.
Phillips CDi Anyone?
So you’re going to just do this unironically? Mention one time a Nintendo IP did well outside its own systems, then mention one other time and say “fuck it can’t work?”
Phillips CDi games weren’t even developed by Nintendo. That doesn’t apply here.
And we have a winner, well 2. You who understands, and Gabe who knows of the problems and solves it, unlike many “hardcore” gamers that don’t. Convinence and ease is what dominates anything in the market today. Now attach that to a name brand and you have a winner. Xbox live is easy to use, easy to navigate, and provides a much prettier service than PS services ever did, Xbone is easy to use, and you can even talk to it, thus making things easier. What isn’t there to like. Accecibility is god, it’s why apple is king, it’s why console is king, it’s why steam dominates PC market, it’s why Honda Toyota and Volkswagon are king.
IF your brand can provide accecibility at any level, it will dominate even when there are a tremendous amount of bullshit that come with it. Just look around, and look at the best companies. It’s quite obious
