Why are they giving their new flagship console fucking spin-offs and half-assed expansions? This is expected of a console on its way out not one which just started

Wii U is the best console I have ever played. Not joking or being ironic. I haven't had much fun gaming since Wii U really. It had a lot to offer from Miiverse to Mario Maker to Splatoon to DS Virtual Console. There was just something about it man.

I think they are waiting for the movie boost.
With the push they are doing to the Galaxy series, I bet we are getting Galaxy 3 next year.
>>
>>720945183
A fair point. But Fire Emblem is a flagship series that never came to the WiiU, and the WiiU didn't get most of the flagship series at all (i.e. not getting BotW until literally the end of its life despite the game being designed around it). Comparing the Switch 2 to the WiiU is just silly.

I hated Mario Odyssey and Bananza looks similar enough that I'm not interested. I have to look into what games I own that have enhanced versions. I did buy Bravely Default. It's a gay game keycard, but I bought the Jap version that can be played in english and it ended up being a little cheaper. $39 and change with tax and shipping included. Will get to that eventually

You say that now, but so did half the anons when Switch 1 launched and they still don’t own one to this day. Put your tendie tokens where your mouth is-preorders are already drying up and you know scalpers are just waiting to pounce.

Nah, the Wii U's failure was far too nuanced to be boiled down to this degree.

We're most likely looking at a 3DS-esque situation, but we're only on month three so anything could happen.

True, however the quality of the screen isn't far off.

These two are the same point. 3rds with a proper cartridge were a success.

A good move to push the industry forward, at least they weren't retarded and went propietary like the MiniDiscs or the Vita memories.

True.

Just a point, there's actually no evidence of third party keycards flopping

Foul as they are, Piscatella outright corrected that narrative being pushed
He straight up said that 3rd parties were seeing much higher numbers than the switch 1 in the equivalent timeframe

The only flop was in a single region (UK) where a 3rd party bitched the sales of their games were below expectation (likely sega bitching about 40 dollar Puyoteto) and reported by known liar and overall Snoy Chris Dring

The only other evidence of keycards "flopping" is teh Disgaea 7 preorders in the Nippon Ichi store but that shit is 100 bucks and has almost nothing collectible about it, whereas the Disgaea 1 preorder came with fucktons of collectibles in a box, so it's not a safe deal

At worst they seem to be selling okay in the west as the Keycards are keeping their prices in online retailers

They only seem to be struggling in Japan, and even so, not to catastrophic degrees

God I hope so. Nintendo does things way better when it's desperate. I loved the Switch and I knew since that half baked Animal Crossing game (and Splatoon 2 not doing anything new, the lazy Booster Pack for Mario Kart 8, how similar TotK was to BotW) that they were getting too lenient. The prices with the announcement of the Switch 2 just confirmed it. Really, if you like Nintendo, it's best that they struggle a little bit.

No it's not. The PS5 has a boost mode for PS4 discs. You get free 60fps if you run Elden Ring PS4 version on the PS5. You literally have to pay for that 60 fps for the Zelda BOTW on Switch 2. The Xbox has similar boots for BC games.

WTF is wrong with nintendo fags lying through their teeth.
>>
>>720955827
>lying
Nigger

Most games with uncapped framerate also get 60 fps and way lower loading times

Nintendo isn't touting those improvements for every game, Bayo 3 may be a shit game but the upgrades are automatic for example

Botw gets a framerate boost, and the expansion is free for online users anyway, though i admit not including the DLC was fucking retarded

what is the frame rate boost without the upgrade. because if it DOESN'T go to 60 fps like Elden Ring, then you are the nigger.
>>
>>720946563
Nah, I would argue against that. On the S2 games and updates you can see solid improvements over how S1 games typically run, expectations for S2 games and versions are generally more of what you'd expect out of something like a PS4 Pro or Series S instead of a minor upgrade, S1 games in general are running far better than expected, everything in general is snappier be it the UI or basic things like using the Joycons, it's a solid 1080p at bare minimum instead of this weird 540p-720p mess the S1 was, you have mouse mode that is already being utilized in certain games, the kickstand is so monumentally better it's an understatement, the Joycons are also monumentally better in design due to the magnetism and how everything feels, and it feels way more premium than I thought it would.

I am speaking of it as someone who has never owned an OLED and owns both a PS4 Pro and Xbone X, but to me it doesn't feel like a Switch 1 Pro, it does feel like a Switch 2, and unlike the S1 I don't feel like it needs a "Pro" revision in the future unless devs drop the ball unbelievably poorly in optimization.

im looking at this and all im seeing is that nintendo locked a simple framerate and resolution boost behind a paywall

>>
>>720958304
You have to pay a minimum of $10 if you have games like Horizon and Days Gone and want the PS4 versions if you already have the PS4 versions. Some games get free updates, while others have paid upgrades, just like how it is on PlayStation.
>>
>>720950515
>Industry standard sadly
It's not. Not only was Playstation actively seeing massive sales losses because of the $70 price point but companies were apprehensive to jump on the bandwagon until Nintendo pushed it recently. The fact that they're insane enough to ask for $80 for Mario Kart is insulting because you know the price isn't going to go down more than $10-20 either.

>>720958808
Nearly all PS5 upgrades are free, it's essentially only Sony that makes you pay for them and only very specific games like HZD and Days Gone like you said. I can't think of anything else that is paid outside of what, GT7?
>>
>>720958808
lying nigger. both those games get a FREE BOOST on the PS5. the $10 price is literally for a remastered version. not an update. a remaster. Nintendo is charging for a simple hardware boost

What does the Switch 2 do differently than a Switch 1? And 80$ for Nintendos shit quality games isn't worth it. I currently don't see a reason to pay full price for one. I'll wait for the modchip version on ebay to appear.
>>
>>720946020
Actually, it feels like the opposite situation from last time is happening. Everyone is treating this like a new console except for Nintendo themselves.
