What, that repetitive 3D beat-em-up where all you do is hit robots in brown and gray tunnels with basic attacks and occasional special attacks? I remember renting that game because I loved the movie, and ending up being incredibly disappointed.
TBFH I was like 5 when I played this. I could try again to see if my opinion on it has changed, but I certainly had fun with it back then. It's not just punching stuff, there's some platforming, but I wouldn't say it's even as close to being as good as Mario 64's platforming.
 
Those Nvidia leaks apparently made people upset, I've never seen so many people get booty blasted with the thought of needing to buy a new Nintendo system within the next year or so.

I mean do they not realize that Nintendo's core audience will gladly throw down whatever cash is needed for a new one no matter the cost?

Those images look so excessively over-the-top that it like something straight out of a parody. I doubt more than 1% of Nintendo's fanbase have setups like that.
 
Turns out that I was wrong about Majora's Mask, it seems that it has solid emulation. Even Ocarina got its fog back in the update.

Feeling a bit more tempted to upgrade, I just want to wait until something like Donkey Kong 64 gets added.
I'm glad to hear that they've gotten better. I've said a lot that I want Donkey Kong 64, and I think that if (when I presume and hope) it gets added I'll most likely upgrade then.

Probably will at some point, given that Banjo-Kazooie managed to get on the service despite Microsoft owning Rare.
 
Nobody. It may come as a surprise to some of you considering it too is a successful platform holder, but Nintendo is way off the scale of business of Microsoft and Sony, corporations that have numerous hugely profitable interests beyond gaming (NOTE: I'm not sucking either's dick here, just stating a fact). Nintendo isn't even the biggest pure entertainment company in gaming. As a business, Nintendo doesn't need the risk and headaches associated with owning and managing those companies in order to have profitable partnerships that produce excellent results for players and shareholders alike. This strange frenzy among some of you guys for an acquisition race runs counter to how Nintendo operates, and indeed how it can operate.
Nintendo is not some small minor company (its actually the seventh largest company in the industry by market cap, with the only companies larger than them other than Activision Blizzard being conglomerates) and nobody is suggesting its anywhere as big as Microsoft or Sony. None of the companies I suggested are large; they are all smaller studios, equivalent to Insomniac Games, which Sony just acquired. Nintendo wouldn't even notice buying them out. Nintendo has more than enough money to buy out even a midrange player in market, and none of the studios I mentioned even come close to that. What you said about Nintendo not operating via M&A was true historically, and I might have agreed with you a year ago, but things are changing now. Companies change and the gaming landscape has changed. Nintendo just acquired two developers that have supported them for years. That can't be ignored. And Nintendo is just as capable of operating like Sony and Microsoft in this department, if not to the same scale. I'm tired of this idea that Nintendo is this small little company that can't afford anything; its simply not true and never has been. A refusal to invest their money in expansion is not the same as an inability to.

Might as well post a link to the leaks themselves so everybody here can get in on the sperging.

As for me personally? I've always said that a Switch Pro was inevitable, and its always been my personal belief that it will be a purely home console. At this point, I suspect that's inevitable; another stronger handheld would just make the OLED model redundant, while they already have a handheld only model, so a home console only version makes sense.
 
The hardware's so long in the tooth that it's struggling with its own new titles, I don't want to imagine how BOTW2 will fare.

Either a Switch Pro to keep the generation going, or Switch 2 to get third party support (backwards compatibility, please).
 
I thought people would have learned their lesson after 4-5 years of "Switch Pro is totally happening guys", and Nintendo having literally zero competition in the market at the current moment, but I guess not.

AAA games struggling to be even released every blue moon also does not justify a hardware upgrade honestly, the current Switch already has a massive amount of third-party support from indies and japanese (which both won't really benefit from said upgrade anyway).

What the Switch does need is mostly OS-related such as a changelog of game updates, a folder system and make eshop browsing less a pain in the ass (eliminating the lags at least).

I would totally take an update that makes the OS good and finally adds more themes over a Switch Pro (With no themes) (Seriously where the hell are the themes?)

Switch has problems with low end shit too like Legends of Mana.

Why are people so adverse to buying a new systems that's only a few hundred bucks in total? It's been 5 years that's perfectly normal to get a new thing by then. Fucking Apple releases new versions of the same shit every year at this point despite making minimal changes. Like High End cards are going to run you $900 and even in today's prices that's not even the high water mark for shit.
 
I see Switch 2 rumours are floating around again and the litmus test on if someone knows anything about hardware is if they keep insisting that there's going to be a 4k Switch.

Seriously. Do people really think we're gonna get a 4k Switch while keeping the console as a portable
and keeping the cost low enough for it to actually be accessible by the families that Nintendo targets in their advertising?

Any new revision are going to have relatively moderate upgrades. Hopefully they'll up the memory and bandwidth on that memory so that we don't end up with games that really chug in places.

If it's upscaled 4k you can get a 300 dollar machine to work with it. The OLED is 350 so even if they bump up the price to 400, that's still feasible.

"Why are people happy with the thing they have instead of thirsting to consoom every set period of years?"

Sometimes, people don't want the new and shiny thing if their current thing still works just fine for what they use it for.

The slow down in SMT5 was pretty fucking noticeable and I'm pretty sure the hardware limitations factored into what they could do with the level design. That shit chugged in a ton of places like The Last Story did for the wii.

Dragon Quest XI S on anything but the switch shows how much they had to compress. Hell Monster Hunter Rise had to have an HD version made for the PC port.

Like at this point if they were to make a new more powerful system and port shit to it with improved performance, it would be a significant upgrade just for QoL shit. Like the OLED wasn't enough of a change to make me want to upgrade, but something with a more substantial upgrade in hardware would.

Like it's fine that people want to play the original switch games, but for newer shit a lot of people are not going to want the same crappy hardware.

You should be.
I had A-Train for the Amiga 1200 back in the day. Couldn't understand how the hell everything worked since I was like 8 years old, but the trains looked dope as hell for computers at the time.

Also you could just type in CHEATERCHEATERWIMP repeatedly to get infinite money.

Edit:

I like how this latest version is called "All Aboard! Tourism". If you squint a bit it kinda like "All About Autism". Which I'm sure it will be.

The only reason anything leaked at all was because Nvidia’s DLSS code (and corresponding hardware) was leaked. It’s not going to be natively producing 4K. It will be doing massively upscaled 4K.

Demonstration
 
This should have been the lesson a lot of people learned with the Wii U
Personally I was never on board the whole "motion control" train that the Wii was conducting. It's fine for gimmicky shit like Wii Sports, but for 3D platformers, it's more of an annoyance. Having that shit in the 3DS was DUUUUUMB! "Hey, if you wanna collect all the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic Lost World, stand up (or sit in a spinning chair) and turn yourself around a bunch of fucking times while tilting the 3DS up and down to nab all the bubbles! Try not to throw up while doing it!"

The WiiU was nothing more than an upgraded Wii. If they had ditched the PAD and used a normal fucking controller and moved away from motion controls, I don't think it would have been as much of a failure as it was.
