Xenoblade X not on their list of progress. X bros....

You can use CEMU to force access to Squad Missions and the Global Nemesis offline, but you are locked out of Division Rewards and the boosts from each Division.

Well looks the grave has been deepened with the annoucement that nintendo is shutting down the wii u and 3ds online services. While, I would be mad at this revelation I think I'm more shocked they didn't just shut it down at the same time they shut the eshop down. Well, at the very least I'm sure fan servers will be there for those who want to play their library of games online.
 
"Hey, we know we axed the nationaldex, and some past gen moves as well, but we'll still keeping the service that only works on those past gen games that are obsolite now because... 🤷‍♂️"
When they introduced Bank it was paired with a ton of promises that it would be kept online forever and the payment was supposed to guarantee that.

Yeah im ok with just never playing these games online again.
 
How entertaining is the Borderlands 3 shitshow liable to be?
 

Nintendo’s president says it will continue to support Switch next year​

THE COMPANY PRESIDENT SAYS GAMES ARE PLANNED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 2025

I knew they wouldn't release a new Switch next year.
They could, but then just keep supporting the Switch 1. Which reminds me...

@The Demon Pimp of Razgriz I'm unable to resist a good "I told you so" :smug: I'm just kidding

I mean, we already know they are releasing games next year. They announced some in the Direct. All this means that the Switch will continue to get support in 2024. It doesn't mean that the Switch 2 isn't coming out.

I fail to see how those things are directly correlated. They would still be supporting the previous console for a year after the new one came out anyways, as developers who don't have access to the dev kits would still be working on projects for the old one. Plus the new console will take a while to build up sales volumes, and always runs the risk of pulling a Wii U and stumbling out of the gate.

It's pretty solid that this would be how it'd go. Switch sales are still Sky high. Might as well keep it going PS2 style for the foreseeable future until Switch 2 proves itself, then slowly phase it in all the way.

But the weird thing is that Wii U sorta failed, especially after the heal of Nintendo's success of the Wii prior to it. The idea of suddenly shutting it down was more of a last ditch effort in hopes that the Switch would do well, which sales wise, yes it did. Still, I could be wrong and they might end up shutting down the Switch unexpectedly by the time the new console is released.
 
The thing with the WiiU is that NOBODY liked it. It tried to be a hodgepodge of portible and console but failed at both and having certain games being forced motion control or needing the tablet for dumb gimmics didn't make things any better. It's backwards compatability with the Wii wasn't that impressive either considering it needed to load a seperate GUI for it rather than just launch the game immediately. Nintendo was embarassed by it and consider it a failure akin to the Virtual Boy. The Switch is basically what the WiiU SHOULD have been the first time around and to this day is printing money like fucking crazy, even with a lack of backwards compatability.

I don't think the O.G. switch is going anywhere anytime soon. if Nintendo were smart they would do everything they could to keep this thing on life support for as long as it can, especially since its opponents (Sony & Microsoft) are fucking floundering on the floor like spastic retards, and Valve + the other portable pc knock-offs are doing their own thing without really posing a threat to it. Nintendo has no real viable competition, so they can skirt this along for 5-10 more years and STILL make a profit.
 
Yes, but last time i checked, Home forces you to delete moves and tells you which pokemon are untransfer-able.

For example, Hidden Power is gone completely from the meta, so any pokemon that has that move can't use it in gen 8/9
Seeing all of my old movesets blacked out in the new Pokemon games really killed it for me.

I'm hoping we see a Switch Nano that shrinks the Switch Lite a little and knocks maybe 25% off it's price.
I also hope that's coupled with the Switch 2 seamlessly supporting Switch 1 games (ideally to the extent that the eShop store is merged but Switch 2 games cannot be purchased from the Switch1 eShop), with developers being encouraged to support both platforms if their game doesn't require the performance of the Switch 2 - like 8-bit style indy games or puzzle games.

I enjoyed my console... I ended up spending thousands in games for it

The key difference is that the Wii U doubled down on already-tired gimmicks. By late 2012, most people were burned out on motion controls even within good games, and tablets weren’t novel like Nintendo had hoped since, among other reasons, the iPad was released during the Wii U’s dev cycle. Combine those with a slow OS, bad controllers, a lack of truly great first-party games, and very lazily-implemented backwards compatibility (seriously, homebrew worked from day one), and it was all but doomed from the start.

Compare that to the Switch, and the only common complaint is that it’s too weak, which is at least somewhat remedied with each new hardware generation anyway. 2006 and 2012 were very different times for the Wii’s public perception, so doubling down was a bad idea, but the Switch’s “gimmicks” are just as well received now as they were in 2017, so doubling down may be all they need to do.

But if history is any indication, that “March 2025” figure means they plan to be done with the Switch by the Switch 2’s release in late 2024, then round up to the end of the fiscal year in case there are any unforeseen delays. Maybe one or two minor/cross-platform games released after November 2024, but that’s it.

I liked it :(
