Why did 3rd parties finally decide to port to Nintendo
$$$
I will never buy a cuckcard.
>>740792770Gee I wonder why. It probably has something to do with the switch consoles being a massive success
>>740792923flash memory isn't cheap they could print blurays if they had a home console
>>740793019It's a Wii U tier flop though No one want this shit
>>740793112Sure buddy
>why are 3rd parties porting to the one console that doesn't have 90% of its userbase just playing live service games
>>740793019Shame it took them so long to realize it. Most of them missed out on what just might become the best-selling videogame console of all time.
>Campaign is a direct sequel to games that don't exist on the platform>Multiplayer won't be cross-platform, have long queue times, and likely be borderline unplayable or visually gutted to look and play even worse than PS3 iterationsUnironically what the actual fuck is the point of this and who would be dumb enough to even buy it?
Even the worse DLSS is better than checkerboard, taa, and fsr on base pa5
>>740792770Remember the CoD game on WII?
will gta 6 come to switch 2? it does launch on xbox si dont want a xbox or playstation but i could see myself buying a switch 2 evenutally
Yeah, its almost like its the most successful current console or something.
>>740793112Wii U got TWO cawadoodies. Switch MAY get 3, before PS6 comes out.
>>740792770>high-end hardware especially on the PC side is becoming unsustainable for consumers>Switch 2 is already pretty popular and the sequel of the most successful console>Switch 2 proved that it's barely behind a PS5 in terms of hardware prowess and the average player is not gonna notice superficial differences in multiplatform releases>the Switch ecosystem is where its users are willing to spend money on games and within their release window tooIt's not gonna get every western AAA crap under the sun obviously but Nintendo has pretty much Japan on a lockdown.
>>740794645You act like PC ever mattered in Japan to begin with.
>>740793847>He wasn't around for the Wii gamesBTW, there was no long queue times.
>>740793847Crossplay has been confirmed, even for Switch 2.
They never not wanted to support nintendo platforms but that is just how weak their hardware wasSwitch 2 is the first device in a long time that has enough power for thirdparty ports to actually be playable
>>740792770The Switch can actually run a lot of this stuff now so its not hard to port to Switch 2These will likely dry up once the PS6/NextBox is out as the Switch 2 wont be able to handle those games
>>740792770CoD is a special case because Microsoft during the Activision-Blizzard takeover, had to convince cartel authority that they aren't building a monopoly. Since Sony kept crying about CoD, MS made promises along the line of guaranteeing that they port CoD to other consoles for the next 10 years
>>740797559PS4/Xbone were literally supported right up till we were already talking about PS6/Xbox Helix(XH?). They likely sat on the Nintendo deal just to futureproof the Warzone 3 engine rather than try to shove the Switch 2 into the last two years of Warzone 2/BO6/BO7, since this'll probably also be supporting PS5/XSX for a good long while.It's a huge problem for the console manufacturers that people just didn't fucking leave the Xbone/PS4 behind and that made game sales stagnate hard on the 9th gen consoles but in this situation it kinda worked out for devs that wanted to also port to Switch 2.
>>740797217Can't find any source for this. What's even stranger is that, despite it launching at the same time as the PS5/SEX, the NS2 version isn't available for pre-order and "more details" are coming later this summer. Also the Switch 2's development is being handled by a separate team from the primary development team.No way this shit supports crossplay.
>>740797008The most playtime I had on the Wii was Wii Sports. Everything else was so damn boring. Also I had a PS3 as well, so yeah I was playing multiplayer shit on that.
>>740792923I don't think cod is even physical on Playstation anymore.
