Nintendo's One Console Future

Bitmob looks at a potential mindset Nintendo may want to use when developing their games in the future.

Game-ur5797d ago

The Wii and DS both have a very large install base, so I don’t think it would hurt them now, I for one would love to play DS games on the TV, the DS screen is just too small, even the DSXL isn't big enough.

The GameCube hade an ad-on that played Gameboy cartridges, maybe thy can do something like that.

I was going to say that you meant the Super Nintendo, but I had forgotten about the addon you were specifically talking about. Looking back at all of Nintendo's consoles most have the some form of interconnectability (whew.. that word is a bit longer than I thought) with the handhelds. Although I would like that to happen with the DS, the two screens along with the touch functions throw a wrench in that dream. However, ports as the article talks about look to be very possible.

I could never own just one console without constantly worrying about what I might be missing.

Bloodyghost5797d ago

Right now I only have a Xbox 360 and a Wii while debating saving up for games that come out next year or a PS3. Sucks being tight on money.

I do not want to worry about Infamous 2 and other PS3 exclusives when I also want a 3DS and more overall games like multiplatforms.

I will be sure not to make this mistake the start of next gen...

I_Luv_2_Game5797d ago

I own one console (PS3) however there are games I would love to play on the Xbox and Wii but the games are just not good enough for me to buy another console.. I wouldn't just own a nintendo console anymore just because there's no depth in there games anymore.. I do have some interest in the 3DS though

ATLGAMER5797d ago

Probably would be a Sony console...if anything it would be two with MS and Sony..if it were not for wii i think nindendo would have left the console business all together unless the DS woulda carried it again like the gameboy did last gen with gamecube

You do know this piece isn't saying that the DS or Wii is going to go away, right?

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi96d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer97d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot97d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno97d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay97d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno95d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK96d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
