They're gonna go the exact same way Sega did

I have a switch, and while it is nice, the joy cons are the most poorly designed controllers ever

They might as well quit while they're behind, they used to be #1 in gaming, while now they are a distant 3rd, 4th if you count PC

The concept of what a first party is will likely be very different in 10 years but Nintendo is most likely to stay the same as we traditionally know it. Switch is a huge success and their games are selling shitloads. No reason for them to change anytime soon.

That'd be nice since Miyamoto cant quit fucking things up

Maybe Mother 3 would finally get a localization if they went 3rd party. Not that there's anyone left that wants to play it that hasn't

The quality of their stuff is going way down. As TC stated in Post 1, the joycons are nothing more than a cash grab. Theyre intentionally built to break because they know that for every person who sends them in, there are a thousand who just shrug their shoulders and pay $80 for a new one. $80!? These are NOT on the same level as a new PlayStation or Xbox controller and they should not be priced like them.

Of course if you mention this on the Switch board you will get flamed by a bunch on turbovirgin fanboys (ask how I know...).

Basically, I agree. They havent made a system that could hang with the big boys since the GameCube (when I was in middle school). I love my switch, but its the joycons have made me almost throw the entire system before.

Easier to get and way cheaper, but that comes at a cost, a lot of developers won't make games for the switch, EA is a big one that comes to mind, Rockstar is another one(they ported LA Noire to it, and it runs like shit)

you're acting like console issues is a new thing. i went through three 360s and their RRoD bullshit, that was way worse. and hell, isn't sony dealing with similar joystick issues right now?

i think the main issue is that they build these things as cheaply as possible to squeeze as much profit out of them as they can.

You would think it would have been fixed in 4 years, but Nintendo just shrugs its shoulders, when the 360 was having the RROD, Microsoft took the initiative to extend the warranty and fix the system, I've never sent a Sony console in so I don't know how they operate, Nintendo tells you to go fuck yourself pretty much

He said 18 months. The new consoles only came out a couple of months ago.

You're also assuming that people don't buy more than one system or care about having those games on the Switch.

no, they actually dont. i got my left joycon repaired for free, outside the original warranty, like 6 months ago.

Nintendo has enough money to live through at least two more Wii U's, putting it one way. Sega was doomed years before the Dreamcast.

How long did you have to wait? Either way, Im not okay with the downtime. You can just buy a new one at Walmart and put the broken one in the box and return it. They send it back to Nintendo at no cost, so nobody loses out. You just use a retail monopoly to make things easier.

If they only give you store credit, theres your grocery money.

me personally, i had to wait like 2 months because the day after i sent the damn thing all of NY closed down and that's where the repair was...

but i've seen multiple posts online from others who got a free repair who said the turn around time was like 2 weeks at most. was fine since i've got a pro-controller anyway.

Yeah my controller repair felt like it took a week. Might have been 10 days max.

Bro they barely make games now how do you expect them to develop third party

we can argue the quality of the console until were blue in the face, and Id agree it and the joycons are shoddy. But they sell assloads and thats all that matters

I don't get why you'd say this about nintendo of all 3 big console companies

playstation and especially xbox are just gradually getting more and more like PCs. so they're going to be mainly distinguishable by their exclusives which... I feel like are also getting ported to PC more and more often these days. I feel like they're way more likely to quietly blend into the PC scene than ninteno ever is
