Why are Nintendo incapable of making a technically impressive console?
idk
>>724931572They are able to. They just know their manchild userbase will buy their slop no matter what. So they shit out a minimum viable product and collect their McDonald's checks every time
Don't know don't care
>>724931572Is that real??
it didn't go well for them the last 2 times they tried it (n64 and gamecube)
>>724931572they just want the hardware to be cheaper and higher profit margins (or at least less losses)
>>724931572whats the benefit?
>>724932017>tendie can't even fathom the benefits of having strong hardwareOH NO NO NO NO NO
>>724931572Why would they bother?We are more and more living in the era where anyone that wants performance is just sticking with PC.The Switch 1 proved that accessibility + fun games are all Nintendo needs to do.Hell I think it would have been smarter for them to make the Switch 2 even weaker if it could've knocked $50 off the price tag.
>>724932296you did not answer the question.
>>724932391Imagine playing the new donkey kong game with, get this, a stable frame rate! Whoa. Imagine playing the game and it not stuttering and dropping frames.I don't think you can imagine that DESU.. You don't seem like the type of person who can imagine an apple
>>724932479>Imagine playing the new donkey kong game with, get this, a stable frame rateunironically worked on my machinewere you playing undocked?
>>724931572>Console>Technically impressiveChoose one.
>>724932479the "powerful" consoles dont run their games with stable framerates either so clearly thats not a benefit of better hardware.try again.
why would they need to when being modest has being paying off consistently aside from the wii u? The switch 2 is "strong enough" to handle most things now
>>724931572I thought it was so they could sell it for cheap, appealing to countless families looking for an affordable system for their kids.But clearly they forgot all about that.
>>724932556Cope, I knew you wouldn't be able to comprehend it.>>724932651Kek you are floundering so hard right now
>>724931572Profit margins.
>why are Bill happy>why is Bill happySpeak normal English you stupid fucking brit
Tendies be like>No I literally can't comprehend the benefits of having more powerful hardware, please break out the crayons and explain it to me as slowly as possible>no I still don't understand how having more powerful hardware could lead to a better gaming experience>but (insert other dogshit hardware) also has issues, try again!Tendies can't go a single thread without displaying literal mental retardation
>>724932743>nothing
>another PC vegan seething about Nintendo Not taking the news very well huh
>>724932907Maybe if I get a really big whiteboard, and talk slowly, you can understand basic concepts.
>>724932938get to it
>>724932479>>Imagine playing the new donkey kong game with, get this, a stable frame rate!It's basically permalocked to 60fps with the only exception being during one attack on the final boss and slight dips on the sewer zone.The fuck are you on about?
>>724932892Tendies be like>no I STILL don't understand the benefits of having more powerful hardware "plays stuttery mess of a baby game">no I don't understand why are you madLiteral mental retardation
>>724932735it's just too expensive now to even make stuff that can play last gen ports because every square millimeter of microchip could be sold into the AI bubble instead of gamez
Why spend more money when you can sell a console so outdated that android can emulate it before even the original xbox for 600$ and tendies will slurp it up
>>724931572the super nintendo was pretty good.
come on man just get stronger hardware again the games will run better this time trust me even though developers showed for literal decades now that they will never prioritize performance ever come on man just one more upgrade please this time it will be different I promise
>tendies be like, no I still don't get it. Whats the correlation between having better hardware and having a more stable gaming experience?>please break it down as slowly and use small words so I can understand>nope I still don't understand
>>724932928>he thinks the Switch 2's hot shit for selling 10 million unitsCheck these numbers out, buddy boy.
>>724932892>>724932982>>724933064Is this some new zoomer meme or is someone genuinely having a meltdown?
>>724933132>I was just pretending to be retarded! Your mad!Your cope hasn't evolved in years kek
>>724933095I'll take that as a no
>>724933132you tell mefor whatever reason NDS niggers refuse to understand people like affordable hardware (reminder the sw2 is somehow cheaper than a SeS or a PiS5+disk drive)
>>724933257Uh yeah bro, 67 fosho!
>>724933286>posts self ownKek you tards really don't any self awareness
>>724933132Bot posts anon
>>724933060the biggest proof of this being the fucking persona port being 30 fps when it was fucking 60fps on ps4
Tendies be like>no I still can't possibly comprehend why having better hardware can garner a better gaming experience>you're mad that I'm dumb haha>you must be a robotLiteral mental retardation.
>>724933286I sometimes have to remember that the people that rage about Nintendo 24/7 genuinely just don't play games.
>>724933437Um I can't understand why having a better framerate is a good experience, can you explain it to me like I'm 4 years old with shapes and colors?
>>724931572They aren't incapable. It's just a better business decision not to.
the hardware arms race is a consoomer curse and inherently anti customer.
>>724931572Nobody cares about a technically impressive console, since that would just be a PC, which is a much better bang for your buck.Consoles are a dead paradigm, literally not even profitable unless you are running a scam.It would unironically be better if they just kept making N64 and Wii games.>>724932479You'd still be playing on a fixed platform with fixed specifications. We can easily see this problem with the PS5 and PS5 pro, where inefficiency simply expands to fill all available space.And it's not even a case of games looking better and thus performing worse due to demands on hardware, games look worse and perform worse, but increasingly poorly managed projects manage to hit their deadlines with crap work.
It's literally pointless these days. People who want to play games on the best of the best hardware are a shrinking demographic, and their needs are satiated by $4000 PCs.A good looking PS4 game is fine by modern standards. RDR2 is still one of the best looking games out there. People can hardly tell that it's "dated".
>>724933530>stable framerate are impossibleMan tendies are mentally retarded
>>724932378And the Switch 2 is proving you don't even need fun games.
>>724931572>>724931708WHAT THE FUCK.How in the world did they manage to breed cats with snails and owl?
Impressive tech doesnt exist. Industrialisation means your latest iphone is already 5+ years old as far as science goes. Same for your gpu. True state of the art only exist in military equipment
>>724933530>It would unironically be better if they just kept making N64 and Wii games.the sweet spot for game budgets/creativity/proficiency was clearly somewhere in the PS2/GCN era. after that everything just became bloated and worse and gameplay didnt improve at all.
Its really telling that tendies consider snoy to be the be-all-end-all of gaming. When they run out of copes, they always resort to "but s-sony also sucks". They have lower IQ than literal dogs
>>724932479They could just make the game less demanding, and keep a stable framerate at all times.The more powerful your hardware gets, the more developers just waste it on graphics anyway. You are never going to reach this hypothetical future where everything runs at an absolutely unbroken 60fps as a minimum.If Nintendo put out a super-console, they would immediately be like "now render every blade of grass", and we'd be right back where we started.
>>724933828>appeal to futilityPoor argument. Try again
I hope you all can reach my enlightenment (and wealth) of owning a PC + Nintendo console so you can just play anything you want whenever and not have to sit around whinging all day.
>>724933626Stable framerates were possible on N64. It's called optimisation. Devs don't want to do optimisation, because they would rather have all the graphics, which they can then put in a trailer to sell the game. That's why we're never going to get there.
>>724933819You are the first and only person to mention Sony in this thread dude
>>724933936>>724933936Liar.
>>724933437bad example when people didn't buy that rushed port because nintendo gamers actually have standards
>>724933881appeal to reality.If you want to play a rock solid 60fps or 120fps game, those exist. There is a trade-off where they're not going to have top of the line graphics though. And you have to turn off the ray tracing.
>>724933907>its impossible to have good frameratesKek, when confronted the tendie appeals to futility
>>724933603Here's the thing though, Games will still be developed for the generational standard set by the PS5 and XSeX and their eventual successors. It's unlikely the Switch 2 will get much in the way of new games from third-parties, once again settling for the sloppy seconds of the past generation but with worse performance, all to accompany a portability feature even more half-assed than its predecessor.
>>724934047Literally not what I said. F-Zero X and GX have rock solid 60fps. Nioh on PS5 can run at 120.
>>724934097>it is possible but modern Nintendo can't do it so..Okay?
>>724934047That's not what he said at all. That said, I stopped buying Sony consoles because of that exact reason. It was wild playing MGR a bunch on PS3 and then getting it on PC later and realizing how shit the console experience was. From what I've seen, all the console makers have simply been selling weak hardware, outclassed already on release for several generations now. If I was worried about having "good" hardware, I wouldn't buy a console at all.
>>724934084Okay, I can just buy a PS5 though (and I did).I buy Nintendo systems to play Nintendo games, and now for the portability factor.Nintendo games don't need to look like a game running on a PS5 Pro with all of the ray tracing and shit turned on. At the absolute most, a Nintendo game needs to match Xbox 360. Everything past that point is a bonus.
>>724934165They can do it, and have.
>>724933994Why don't you try quoting the post in the thread that proves me wrong?
>>724934230That's fine, just don't play dumb and pretend you can't understand the benefits of having better hardware. You tendies are insufferable, you just play dumb then build strawman to defend your precious Mega corporation from the idea of ever having to improve. Its why everyone makes fun of you.
>>724931572what's the point? even a power console is just a shitty truncated PC that's quickly outdated
>>724934278>>724933530>>724933437>>724933286I can already predict your reply. You will with say.>actually you are damagingOr>they mentioned ps4/ps5 not SonyYou are a pathetic shill
>>724934315The benefits are negligible, and I can just buy a high end PC for my graphics porn.A Nintendo system only has to look good enough to render Mario. By it's very nature, you are not buying a Nintendo system for photo-realism.
>>724932479xbox and playstation don't have stable framerates either and if you claim otherwise you are lying
Impressive in what way? You wouldnt pay for state of the art hardware that is only a console. You need the apple logo to spend that yearly grand on a camera with tiktok apps.
>>724934387*samefagging
>>724934201But i don't want nintendo games, therefore I have no reason to buy a Switch 2.
>>724931572I don't careWhat i really want to know is why tendies seem to be so incapable of actively discussing videogamesIt's almost like they don't enjoy playing them
>>724934408Sure but a stable framerate would be nice. Now you get shit graphics and shit framerates, the worst of both worlds. Congrats>>724934278Kek got a new one >>724934419
>>724934462You discuss games in poor faith. You just want me to talk about games I like, so you can turn around and call them shit. We all understand the meta at this point.
>>724934084If I want to play games that aren't on nintendo hardware I can just use my PC
>>724934462You are doing a pretty shit job of talking about videogames yourself
>>724931572Because most people don't want "technically impressive" things.
>>724934462Am I supposed to start talking about how excited I am for Air Riders in this thread or something?
>>724933719How long have you been living under a rock for?
>>724934503>Kek got a new one >>724934419 (You)Go fuck yourself >>724934375
>>724934503Where's the bad graphics or bad framerates in Mario Kart World or Kirby Air Ride?Donkey Kong probably does have a few minor drops, sure, because the game is calculating a lot with the terrain transformation. There's a trade-off. It's still good enough.
>>724934576>bbbut snoy! All consoles are dogshit so that makes it okTendies are the most pathetic gamers holy shit
>>724934606>Donkey Kong probably does have a few minor drops,There is a 0% chance anyone bitching has actually played the game.
>>724934523>>724934557>>724934572/v/ - videogames, you stupid niggerchattelnot videogame console sales, not mindless videogame company worship, v-i-d-e-o-g-a-m-e-s

>>724934606>who cares if its unstable, I have no standards anywayOkay?
>>724934635>developers use better hardware as an excuse to throw more graphics on the game, and the framerates never get any betterWe have already explained this
>>724934525Fucking this. Nintendo is the defacto secondary gaming platform, entirely because of Nintendo exclusives. There's at least some kind of reason to want one if you have a PC already.The only reason to own one of the other consoles is because you are too poor or stupid for a mid range pc.
>>724932378>anyone that wants performance is just sticking with PC.Might wanna walk that statement back a little...>>724918026
>>724934659Are you new? That's just how /v/ is with everything.You have to go to /vg/ for any sort of consistent discussion.
>>724934679>we already appealed to futility Okay?
>>724934647Right, I haven't actually experienced any. I'm just taking this on faith.>>724934659Make a thread about a video game then. Don't explicitly post console war bait.
>>724934443can i play majogami on steam yet?
>>724934705>Nintendo is the defacto secondary gaming platform, entirely because of Nintendo exclusivesyou're saying there's no actual reason to buy a switch?
>>724934767If you don't care about Nintendo exclusives yes. PC should be more than enough for you then
>>724934705Tertiaries with no gaming experience have the silliest fanfictions lmao

>>724935265you are too much of a retarded trannyslave to get it, literally incapable of conceptualizing anything but being a mindless serf to your corporate overlords
>>724934732cherry picked screen shots and trailer shots are what is going to sell the game, ultimately. Optimisation is a tertiary priority.
>>724934835last ten games you played and enjoyed?
>>724934575That's not real. THIS, on the other paw? Real.
>>724935530What was his problem?
>>724932296Post your PC specs with a timestamp. Go on.
>>724931572Because they've picked the lane where portability and functionality is more important to them than technical specs, and given how it has worked for them, I don't blame them for doubling down with it on Switch 2. Back in Wii era, they knew they could never compete in the race for better graphics against Xbox and Playstation on home consoles and they had cornered the handheld market pretty well so they decided to combine both and while the Wii U was an abomination, they learned their lessons and made smart decisions from then on.TLDR: It's not that they can't make a technically impressive console, it's that they don't want to with their current business strategy.
>>724935627Give it up dude. This thread is an excuse for 2 different teams of shills to hurl insults at each other
>>724935530What the fuckWhy did he do it?
>>724931572worse hardware makes the games easier to emulate. more emulation, more litigation.
>>724935763I usually will at least try to bring some logical, thought out discussion to threads, even if they are filled with shitposting, in an attempt to make this site better. Usually it doesn't work, but sometimes I get people to engage and have genuinely fun discussions so it's worth it. I'm also not chronically online all day, so I only browse early mornings before work, so if my comments lead to nothing I don't really care.
>>724936380>bring some logical, thought out discussion to threadswith nintendo cultists? might as well try teaching monkeys how to speak
>>724936562You are one of the worst offenders on the board my man. I've seen you shit up at least 3+ threads in the last week alone. You use the same terminology everytime and are constantly trying to get hate (you)s
>>724936695god forbid someone tried to rid this board of subhuman corposlave filth
>>724936774Well that wasn't unhinged at all
>>724937032compared to tendies, i'd say it's mild at most
>>7249315721) They don't need to.
>>724937589true, they know their herd will slurp up any slop with a nintendo logo on it, regardless of how dogshit it is
>>724935763It's more like one side explaining itself and the other side pretending not to notice the explanations.
>>724937721Virtual Boy?GCN?Wii U?
>>724937721Not just that, but the level of fidelity that stronger hardware requires is just not Nintendo's schtick. They love the cartoony look of their games because it screams "VIDEO GAME, NINTENDO VIDEO GAME!!!" You don't need a gigarig to play something like Odyssey and that keeps Nintendo console prices much lower than competitors. They are staying in the Electronic Toy category and they are genuinely rocking the top.
>>724931572>incapableThey have, but after the success of the wii they realized they don't have to. Clearly they were right given how much the switch 1/2 made.
>>724931572Because they never had to in order to make fat stacks of doshYou fucking retards get what you deserve
why do tendies pretend to belong here when we can clearly see that, instead of playing, discussing and generally enjoying videogames, they'd rather jack off to sales figures and blackedshit ?
>>724937979>incapable>They have, but after the success of the wii they realized they don't have to. Clearly they were right given how much the switch 1/2 made.You can't really blame them when audiences abandoned them every time they joined the graphics arms race.
>>724931572Why would they? People will buy the overpriced tablet anyways.
>>724938278>People will buy the overpriced tablet anyways.>People>
>>724938204How old are you? /v/ has been one of the most pro nintendo boards for over 10 years you tremendous little faggot.
>>724931572$300 handheld console that could borderline run home console games was actually kind of impressive in 2017 for the time.
>>724938265Eh, both the n64 and gamecube had the same problem, which was lack of full sized disks. The N64 is objectively a stronger console than the ps1, but it didn't matter because the cart size meant smaller textures and less expansive audio. Gamecube it didn't even matter, as soon as the ps2 was announced to be able to play DVDs it was over.
>>724931572technically impressive consoles don't get games made for themsega learned that with the master system the genesis and the game gear and the 32x and the sega cd and the saturn and the dreamcasthudson and nec learned that with the turbografx16 and the handheld pce thingatari learned that with the lynx and the jaguarbandai learned that with the wonderswan and the wonderswan colormicrosoft learned that with the xbox1snoyny SHOULD have learned that with the piss 3 the piss 4 the piss pee and the piss 5, but they're too retarded to learn anything evereven nintendo learned this lesson with the virtual boy and and the n64 and the gamepube
>>724932892"more powerful hardware" has never led to a better gaming experience, in fact it has only ever been the oppositethere's a reason why people buy chinkhelds and emulate 40 year old games instead of playing your gay nigger faggy ass "hurrffddurrfffdurrr muh better hardware" lack of gaming
>>724933132it's eric, our resident terminally online snoyfag, having a melty over the fact that nintendo makes money while snoyny only loses money while building barriers

>>724931572They aren't, they got forced out of that particular market. N64 and Gamecube showed that Nintendo couldn't beat Sony at their own game, so they pivoted and found something that did work.
