Does this question even need to be asked when we know they're going to reveal a new console?

Seijoru5390d ago

But will it have new IPs or the same old Mario, Metroid, Star Fox, etc.

Shok5390d ago

Oh no? Lol.

You're right though, who would want those quality franchises to keep coming back? I mean, Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 are the highest rated exclusives this gen, but Mario STILL needs to end. Who cares if the games are fun anymore? That's not what's important.

You're right, Starfox needs to end as well although there hasn't been a single console Starfox game this gen. Besides, who would want that classic Starfox 64 formula in HD?

N4g_null5389d ago

You know what is funny is at least nintendo doesn't take psp games and resell them to console owners at least we get sequel on top of remakes. I mean 3 uncharted in one console? Two resistances and no one hardly liked it. What another killzone?

I'm sorry if people don't like those games but people love nintendo franchises. Even the weak ones sell good.

Seriously nintendo has 3 RPGs, a new console with sequels of every thing I bought on the wii coming. They can't loose. The dev kits are easy to use even 3rd parties win.

The hd problem will be fixed. Plus it is more powerful. Hd gaming at 60fps period. I mean if you want gaming acting like bad movies then you still have Sony. But if you want real games you know the reason why it's called video games because we play games more than watching a movie. Then yeah nintendo should not have a problem.

Now fan boys will be pizzed but bias is a terrible drug. If nintendo turned all of their franchise into hello kitty I want be there for that, heck I'm sure 3rd parties pretty much need another hd console to make profits now.

I mean the ps3 may take a beating after this but hey it happens.

Kon5390d ago

And? It will be Mario Zelda and Metroid all over again in an endless loop

Neo Nugget5389d ago

Yeah, I KNOW! There were two Metroid games for the Wii.

Way too many.

AWBrawler5389d ago

they gone add a game to that every gen i see lol
Snes they were saying all mario, n64, they start saying mario and zelda, gamecube they started saying its mario zelda and metroid, (even though there was no metroid on N64 lol) I guess this time, they add Fire Emblem, Sin and Punishment, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, or something else to the list.
and it's funny how they ignore 3rd Party games
haven't they heard of Killer 7, Resident Evil 4, Gun, Thirteen, Tales of Symphonia, no more heroes, Red Steel, Muramasa, Prince of Persia, Sonic, Cursed Mountain, Eternal Darkness, or anything third party before?

MariaHelFutura5390d ago (Edited 5390d ago )

By having Shok decide who wins.

:P

GameGambits5390d ago

Step 1:
Show up and show off the Wii 2.
Step 2:
Accept the win.

The end.

Here we go again with these Bs articles: "How microsoft can win e3" "how sony can win e3""E3 predictions blaw blaw blaw, Just wait till e3 and im sure all of that will be answered.

metsgaming5390d ago

These article are much better than the psn ones. This is actually interesting and its fun to wonder what they have hidden and to speculate on the announcements.

MARIO ZELDA MARIO ZELDA DONKEY KONG MARIO ZELDA YOSHI MARIO ZELDA POKEMON MARIO ZELDA MARIO ZELDA PIKMAN MARIO ZELDA

come on guys. i like to play nintendo games too, but let's not kid ourselves here.

MariaHelFutura5390d ago

They should just make "The Legend Of Mario" and get it over with. Instead of a horse to traverse the universe you get a Kart.

aznrunner18815390d ago

Or better yet, Grand Theft Princess: Trippin on Shrooms

Titanz5389d ago (Edited 5389d ago )

If Sony had franchises they could constantly reinvent, they'd probably be as well know as Mario,Zelda,Metroid,Donkey Kong,Kirby,F-Zero,etc.

Sony does have first party software, it just that the majority of consumers enjoy Nintendo's first party software(3rd party software was something Sony always relied on).

@Disagrees

Please, elaborate.

OhMyGandhi5389d ago (Edited 5389d ago )

unfortunately, the "majority of consumers" are FORCED "to enjoy Nintendo's first party software"

Titanz5389d ago (Edited 5389d ago )

So 86 million plus, were "forced to buy the Nintendo Wii?".

Your logic is flawed.

AWBrawler5389d ago

Pikmin was just created last gen had only 2 games, and has yet to be released this gen! Trolls please Try Harder, by that Logic, I could Say Nexbox is going to be all elder scroll, because it had 2 games, or PS4 is going to be all Katamari Damacy? since it had 2 games on the PS2

ScubaSteve15389d ago

unless u mean the re-release f pikmin 1, but no 2

AWBrawler5389d ago

again only 2 games. remakes do not equal a new game

nikola9875389d ago (Edited 5389d ago )

I would literally stab and kill someone for new pikmin game! :D

ScubaSteve15389d ago

its not a dam contest, there are NO WINNERS

repsahj25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

17M+ units in 6 months! Others on this site are insisting on only 10M units. XD

And as for Switch 1 total sales, it will only take a few months for it to surpass the 160M of PS2.

repsahj25d ago

Will Sony magically be able to dig up PS2s again to increase the 160M number when the Switch is about to surpass it? hahaha.

They already did this in 2024 because Switch 1 is getting close to 155m. They might do it again because Switch is getting close to 160M.

Dexterio25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

"And as for Switch 1 total sales, it will only take a few months for it to surpass the 160M of PS2."
Few months lol. Maybe in a few years, and if it happens, that would be a big indication that the Switch 2 is not as successful as some here wanted us to believe; people still buy the OG Switch because there is nothing exciting on the Switch 2 and it's cheaper lol.

Rage7724d ago

Too bad it took over 12 years for PS2 to reach that number (before Jim Ryan made took some more out of his ass) Does that mean people were buying PS2s becasue it was cheaper and nothing good on PS3 and almost PS4? Nice try. 🤣🤣🤣

Sgt_Slaughter24d ago

The Switch 2 is outselling the Switch 1 when compared to their first years. You can swing this anyway you want, but that doesn't change reality and sales figures.

By your own logic, every single console has released to lackluster success because people kept buying the console before it. Sony even combined PS2 and PS3 sales at one point to help negate the lackluster start of the PS3.

badz14924d ago

@Rage77

people were buying PS2s because it was cheaper and nothing good on PS3. remember that the PS3 was released in 2006, God of War 2 was released in 2007.

Destiny108025d ago

it was at 10 million when i googled it a week ago, these are fresh numbers

17 million in 6 months is crazy

repsahj24d ago

I think that number is until October only. And during the holidays, Switch 2 sold 7m+.

salis84424d ago

June 5 to December 31 is essentially seven months.

From the chart in the actual presentation.

"Cumulative global sell-through as of the 4th week of December 2025 15 million units."

"Sales Status of Hardware and Software (Sell-In) 17.37 million units."

15m Sold = sell-through

17.37m Shipped = sell-in

andy8525d ago

Itll probably get there. But at currently pace it's like a year and a half. And thats without that number declining as people get switch 2s instead

repsahj24d ago

Maybe they still can. They need to put extra effort into promotions again and release bundled promos like with
2-3 games and 1yr Nintendo online subs.

Profchaos24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

There's a lot of people who want the switch to fail for some weird reason

They took Christmas sales as a indication that the system was a flip and proceeded to celebrate prematurely

Dexterio25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

I still believe the Switch 2 is not gonna be as successful as the OG Switch. We'll see ;)

darthv7225d ago

Well... it can't be the new wiiu if it already passed it and is on track to keep selling over the next several years. It took WiiU 4 years to even get close to 14m. SW2 passed it in 6 months.

Sgt_Slaughter24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

The PS5 is showing to not reach the PS4, so you should worry about that instead.

hiawa2324d ago

That is pretty amazing. I love what Nintendo did with the Switch 2 as they fixed every issue I had with the original and it seems devs agree given the amount of 3rd party support it is receiving.

repsahj24d ago

I agree! That was their previous criticism of the Switch 1, now Nintendo has responded with the Switch 2. They still can't beat the games on console versions but the gap is massive compared to Switch 1 and ps4. For me, the end result that you see with your eyes while playing is what's important, not that you have to dissect the game and zoom in 200% to see the difference.

Levii_9224d ago

Most disappointing console i've ever bought. I regret buying it right away.

Sgt_Slaughter24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

It's a better Switch with much better graphics, third-party support, and fully backwards compatible. You knew what it would be before purchasing.

Besides, surely you were more disappointed by the PS3's launch or the Vita given how rough theirs were in comparison.

Neonridr24d ago

how is it more disappointing than the original Switch? It's an improvement in every way when you directly compare.

Sgt_Slaughter24d ago

All those clickbait YouTubers and Twitter users are going to be working overtime to try and swing this as a bad thing, when it continues to defy expectations and break records.

The Switch 2 has now outsold the Steam Deck nearly 3x over and is outselling the OG Switch by nearly 5,000,000 with half a year of sales to go for its first year.

repsahj24d ago

LOL! Specially Nintendeen. XD

MayorPauline24d ago

Apparently he was begrudgingly saying he was wrong. I'll take reddits word for it though. He ain't getting any traffic from me. I dont need him or any one like him stinking up my feed. You let in one grifter and the algotherim decides to flood you with them. 😆

Nintendo Faces Fresh Labor Complaints Three Years After Union-Busting Settlement

Nintendo of America is once again facing labor complaints from one or more of its workers. Game File reports that new charges accuse the Switch 2 manufacturer of violating sections of the National Labor Relations Act dealing with worker organizing and related union activities. These come just a few years after the company settled a previous labor charge with a former tester for $26,000.

I got scared before reading the entire headline

Miraak82 93d ago

Ya scary , seems more like a talent acquisition more then anything , nothing IP related

repsahj92d ago

Great news! It's good to hear that they want to maintain the quality of the games on the Switch 2.

TheColbertinator92d ago

Makes sense to pick up developers with previous Nintendo focused history.

Gamersunite88092d ago

Good. I think they'll help with Splatoon 4 and some Pokemon games.
