Basically that there were a host of 3DS exclusives (mostly Samus Returns) the same year as switch launch. But at that time, Nintendo was hedging on 3DS in case switch was another Wii U.
Yeah. It probably is true there is less likelihood that there will be outrage as there would be zero switch 1 exclusive releases (from Nintendo) unless there is some issue with eshop compatibility. If that isn’t streamlined I could see indie title issues but that wouldn’t have as much anger.
I like to believe that people are just being polite and nice about the situation.
Amazing tonal shift here
We also have to remember that this the first new generation that Shuntaro Furukawa will be president for, so we really don't know how they will decide to do things with the current leadership. All the previous generations were under Hiroshi Yamauchi, Iwata, and Tatsumi Kimishima.
I mean, I'm sure they didn't "just delay" it on a whim.
people between the two (like me) don't really have much of anything to say on the matter, so we're mostly silent about it
Tell me you haven't spent much time on deviantart.com without telling me you haven't spent much time on deviantart.com
I remember seeing an artwork on FurAffinity that is just Fox & Falco in a bedroom and we only see the closed door and the speech bubbles.
To me, I feel like this will be the hardest part of the transition for Nintendo because they will have to make sure that, as long as the console is backwards compatible, that people know you can play these games on next generation hardware without letting that confuse people that don't have Next-Generation hardware that there are games that may not be they aren't playable on original Switch Hardware (if that makes sense... I think the distinction in the Directs will work but I feel like more people these days that aren't in the know all the time will get more from the press releases and social media posts where hopefully Nintendo is able to make things more clear!!)! Though they've done it before so I have confidence they can do it again! It just feels like it'll be harder within Directs to make that distinction but probably easier through normal marketing (which will probably be what most people see)!
One day, Irem will remember that R-Type Delta shouldn't be stuck on PS1.
I have no info on Metroid whatsoever, my friend. Could be shadow-dropped or cancelled tomorrow for all I know, hahaha.
Metroid Prime 4 is the first quantum-state title that simultaneously exists and doesn't exist in this timeline/dimension/universe/existence. Nintendo truly innovated again, Bravo Vince.
Thanks for the insight! It's super interesting to see how well Nintendo/Retro are locked down.
We are SO back
I see this thread is taking Brazil's statement well.
Schrodinger's Prime
Was gonna say that the thread dwelving into furryness was not in my bingo card and is one hell of a rabbit-hole (no furry pun intended here)
Haha good point. Will be interesting to see.
ok I will
You bet I will!
A few days back, people were discussing what the next Star Fox needs to do in order to be successful. There's your answer, folks.
Someone know which comment this is referring to?
These two games could’ve been set in stone before the Switch 2 delay. I honestly don’t think Nintendo would care a lot about having a nearly empty H2. It doesn’t make a big difference imo.
This right here, they won’t really start marketing the console until near the end of the year anyway, so why try splitting the audience’s attention between a stellar lineup and what comes next?
Are we really doing this again? How many times can Switch have "nothing new from Nintendo after X besides ports and remakes" and have that be wrong? There will almost assuredly be other new titles besides Prime 4 from Nintendo in 2H 2024. They may not be what the gamer(tm) audience cares about, but we literally just got Endless Ocean 3 announced out of nowhere in February for a May release.
