Nintendo patched BotW in 2019 to improve load times by overclocking the CPU. I didn't have any complaints about the loading times before then, it's not like they needed to. So, there's precedent for updating past games. Not sure how this is related to Wii remasters. They currently sell their flagship titles at full price. They can justify this further with patches. Breath of the Wild is 100% getting one. I'll bet my account on it.
Well, on the other hand, they are running out of WiiU ports at this point. Switch 2 patches(whether paid or otherwise) could be used to fill out the release calendar in a drip feed sort of way.
Not to be rude, but you do realize the switch and Wii couldn’t be more different right? Them bringing Wii games doesn’t have a correlation with switch games getting patched even if it’s just to take advantage of higher resolution and framerate.
The impact of ASBJ accounting standard change is an increase of 36,559 million yen across all current liabilities and inventories (consolidated). However, as we know the change in inventories alone from 03/2021 to 03/2022 is 117,366 million yen (consolidated). Nintendo did not disclose how much of the 36,559 million yen was for the inventories though, not to mention specifically the raw materials.
How are you planning to serve us bakeries through the webcam?You can do like me … just come here and having fun… and let things happening or not… it is just video game and take it like distraction.
On a business note… a new switch is on the way…and soon … this time is more exciting because when we hear nothing for too long …something big happens.. so come to my webinar and pay me 600€ and come and eat croissant
News! Natedrake has no news.
You can't call it a "Nintendo move" when they never done it before
Through payment bill ( address and I will buy them next to your location
How is this man still employed? There is clearly enough evidence to recommend a dismissal from Bloomberg.
The most similar case would be GB Light vs GBA even if it isn’t related to the display tech literally, but even then it is a weird scenario when we consider GB Light was JP only and produced in quite small quantities for a console.
I didn’t know the GBA was a downgrade in a sense from the Light. Was it the dark display basically?
The only downgrade is the lack of display backlight, it isn’t display related but it does affect it
Probably had more to do with costs and wanting to keep GBA price as low as possible while still making a profit of it. Outside of Japan people didn’t have access to a GB with backlight and even in Japan the numbers of units sold were low, it was an area where they could cut corners.
The Switch 3 has Willy Wonka tech in it.
Stick drift that goes sideways, slantways, longways, backways, front ways, square ways, and any other ways you can think of
It would balance out then, Nintendo plans to fix stick drift will finally work out!
Willy winky you mean
I don't think so, unless you count something like standard 3DS screen size being a regression from DS XL screen sizes. Vita and Quest come to mind as other notable portable devices that dropped OLED for later models, though.
Speaking as someone who is not that familiar with the tech: I had the idea that the kind of lighting used for GB Light and watches of that era wasn't something that would work well with color. At least, they always had a blue/green look that didn't clash with grayscale.
I suspect the holiday drive is to take advantage of the FOMO wave that comes with the holidays. but there's never been a hard and fast rule of "non-holiday launch != success"
I can’t imagine such a short timeframe for an important, major upgrade of the Switch while OLED already had like 3 months iirc.
Usually is done that way to avoid losing previous holiday sales, that is why Q1 launches tend to be rare and most console rollout is all done in the same year. Also Q4 allows for a stronger start which is vital for a console success
I think 3 months is the minimum amount* of time for a rollout of such a product
When switch was revealed … the hardware was originally planned before end of 2016… then BOTW and the rest is history
Both 3DS and Wii U also got delayed, we can only hope it isn’t the case for Drake
At this point it's a pretty even split among the most successful gaming hardware. DS and PS4 were holiday releases. PS2 wasn't in Japan, but I suppose counts as it for western regions. Game Boy and Switch weren't.
It was already delayed…Both 3DS and Wii U also got delayed, we can only hope it isn’t the case for Drake
Because of Covid and/or chip shortage? Peoples keep bringing that and tbh I am not sure if that would be the real cause since other products seems to launch fine but with low availability.
Nice sentence but I disagree.
Be not afraid.
Officially, Drake has not been delayed. The window has been late '22/H1 '23 internally for a long while. I've been getting updates on timing; but I will not share any such specifics unless they fall outside that window -- late '22/early 23.
Drake …
Yeah I'm not suggesting Drake was ever delayed, just that if something was delayed from last year as Thugstas seems to be suggesting then it was something else, probably something that was outright cancelled.
It wouldn’t have been entirely unthinkable imo to release Aula and Aula Drake simultaneously. And phase out the OG model.
You are not suggesting that imo ridiculous Dane theory?
I'm not aware of any other hardware being in the hands of developers. Internally tested concept models not coming to market... maybe. But nothing that ever hit dev kit status has been shelved.
Ohh no
