Nintendo switch clock speeds: 307.2MHz

Only thing Beatles released were 2-3 min radio dtty's... Some shite released in 60's & 70's.

 

Number 9.... Number 9.... Number 9

 

This is pretty crazy to see how threads, especially Nintendo related threads can go off topic this way on this forum recently.

There is other sections in this forum to discuss about music. Moreover, statement like "Some shite released in 60's & 70's" aren't facts and are a matter of taste. So please try not to write such post if you don't like their music.

 

I guess people get emotional about Nintendo probably because they go way back. Let's keep an open mind on Switch, it will be what it will be, low megahertz doesn't necessarily equal shit games. We know Nintendo isn't aiming for top specs anymore. Top specs sure didn't help Sega in its own time. Clearly Nintendo is thinking 3rd party with the likes of Super Mario Run, I see it more as diversification. Fortunately they didn't go free to play, although I heard a lot of complaints against that, can't please everyone.

 

For me Wii U graphics are ok, thing is - Wii U is all about SSB U, MK8, NSMB U/ SM 3D Land and about 20 more games. Some people say that Linux isn't good as gaming platform. Let's check games for it - thousands with more than 200 big budget games. A lot more games than Wii U and Vita got together.
If Switch will be same as WiiU - 10-15 good first party games plus 20-30 3rd party games then it will be better for Nintendo to release their games on Steam and other consoles. People want games, not another gimmick.

 

I have no faith in Nintendo. The switch will have only 4 good titles (in reality they will be mediocre titles compared to other systems) in the span of 4 years and then it will be canned. Nintendo, I can't be a fanboy after what you did with the Wii U.

 

Huh. As of right now I'd take the Wii U's library over the Xbox One's or the PS4's so... not sure what you guys' issues are.

Then again, I'm a bit burned out on FPSes, don't care about Naughty Dog, and think Hideo Kojima is a joke, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bottom line for me is I'd rather play a fun game than a pretty one.

 

Sega died because of their top notch hardware Saturn was an abomination, it ended being an significant inferior hardware compared to the PSX.

Our issues is that we don't want to have to buy two consoles per generation, where the Nintendo ones are the secondary.

Nintendo exclusives are wonderful, this is something that I agree and most gamers do, but exclusives are more of differential, not something that you can just live with the entire generation in exchange of not having tons of third party games.

 

Totally not on topic, but that is just not true. I'd get into why, but like I said, this hardly the thread.

 

I wouldn't go as far as naming it an abomination, well programmed it is/was a great machine.

As for your first comment, how many major 3rd party studios develop AAAs on the ARM/Tegra architecture?

 

"On" ARM? Relatively few, I would say. "For", quite a lot more.

 

How many AAA games for this and the last generation were ported for those hardwares, espcially without a massive cut?

It's like asking how many major 3rd party studios developed AAA games for the Wii, now ask if the console mostly great ports of the X360/PS3 games (if it did get one)

For the west it was considered a huge mess that came with lack of support and proper documentation. Had Sega decided to make an proper 3D capable hardware for the scratch that was good to develop with, the Saturn would likely be the best selling console of the 32 bit generation, since Sega was already known and Genesis was a sucess.

 

Lack of support and documentation hardly makes a console technically inferior, it just proves how poorly SOA handled it.

 

To be fair, wasn't 3d a complete after thought and the way they added the chips to do it on - made it a complete nightmare to program for.

I can see where he's coming from with what he called it.

 

Yeah I won't argue they frankensteined it, but still it was clear when time was spent on it the devs could do some awesome things with it. Complicated, yes. Significantly inferior hardware, I wouldn't say so.

 

SOA and SOJ had a very bad relationship at the time, but I don't know whether or not SOA mishandled that.

Unless if you were a first party or a japanese developer, there are chances a developer will consider it as an inferior hardware in the end due to the higher difficulty in achieving same quality as the PSX.

 

You're right, but IMHO Nintendo's push into western markets would have been harder if the crash hadn't occurred.

E.g. If the crash hadn't happened, Atari might have still commanded the market, and it would have been harder for Ninty to secure third parties if there were other successful platforms to compete with.

Of course the immediate effects of the 1983 crash were localised to NA, but I still think it had ripple effects on the industry.

 

What can be the problem with th Wii U in your opinion?

I'm not sure, but the youtube generation that likes to "show" stuff more than "experience it" like you are pointing seems to be against Nintendo's mentality.
So I don't think it's about the games. But about the consumer. Too bad for Nintendo?

And if they are making a profit they will not go anywhere. No one needs to conquer the world. People are just vocal because of social media crap.

 

You never needed to blow into the carts. You just needed to reinsert the cart to make better contacts with the pins. The blowing was just a placebo.
