The word "controversial" in the headline should have been "kinda funny" instead, at least just for comedic value.
I believe Nintendo said video capture is coming in a future update. I don't know when though.
I understand wanting new ip's but are you suggesting Nintendo should also NOT make a new Smash Bros game since it's not a new ip? It would make good business sense to make another one since there's a big demand for them and they sell very well.
You can skip it everytime it happens.
The Xbox is pretty much dead in Japan so it almost never gets Japanese games, and most Japanese publishers of niche titles like this don't see the point in porting to Xbox just for the small Western audience since they'd make little to no money in return for the investment and labor.
It's most popular in North America but it's a pretty big deal in Japan also.
I'm playing the Wii U version, and it looks and plays just fine. I can't compare it to the Switch version though since I haven't tried that.
But you're leaving out tax.
Because, like Capcom and other publishers, EA arbitrarily decided that the survival horror market wasn't big enough despite big sales numbers for said genre.
Some of the best consoles had weak launches both in terms of quality and quantity. The mighty PS2, the best selling console ever, had a very weak launch lineup. All that matters is that a system launches with that ONE game that makes you want the console, and Zelda is that game for Switch.
How do you figure it's PS3 caliber? Isn't it designed from the ground up for PS4? I mean, it's not a remaster or anything.
Yeah, for scalpers only.
Be honest, your best friend's wife is a whore.
It doesn't need to fit in your pocket to be successful. Many people carry tablets with them wherever they go and that can't fit in a pocket. Try fitting a 3ds xl or Vita in a case in your pocket. It's hard unless you're wearing cargo pants.
You only mention the Wii U but conveniently leave out the fact that 3ds has an install base of 60 million. The majority of those gamers will move on to the Switch eventually.
Why? Because Wii U sold poorly? What about the 60 million Nintendo fans who bought a 3ds? You don't think the bulk of them will move on to its successor especially with all first party games releasing on one machine (the Switch).
In the same universe where 3ds sold 60 million units. Keep in mind, Switch isn't just Nintendo's next console, it's also their next portable, and Nintendo portables always sell well. Also bear in mind that all Nintendo software next gen will release on one machine as opposed to two. That alone will drive hardware sales significantly, even if third parties don't heavily support it.
Hopefully they're working on a new 2D or 3D Metroid.
You may find this analysis unreasonable but remember, Switch is PRIMARILY Nintendo's next portable system, and all of their true portables have been big successes (not counting Virtual Boy since that's not a true portable). I think Switch will meet or exceed this prediction.
