AnK Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 There is little to no scope of hardware creativity left in current core gaming scene. Just look at the VR scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, Switch 2 didn't need to be innovative. It is exactly what it should have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch, Wii, Wii U are innovations over their predecessors. Not a problem as long as it has good games planned. If it can play the same high graphical games as PS5 /XSX, it is a win.

AnK Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Nintendo did the right thing by sticking with Switch design. Only thing they could have upgraded is the ergonomics. But obviously they know better as to how to handle detachable JoyCons!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamos Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Most of Switch users want to play Animal crossing and Splatoon (including me) and the next Zelda game whenever it comes. No one cares about the specs. Heck, the 8 year old Switch 1 is still going on with 4 GB of RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KunjanPSD Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 I do not understand how people still question Nintendo's ability to make good hardware when that has never been their focus. Even after being a part of the gaming community for years, people are still comparing the hardware specs and innovation while Nintendo has continued to churn out great games. And not to say that one cannot compare the cost breakdown of a handheld with a screen to that of a Ps5. Nintendo is not a company which had a strategy of incurring loss on hardware to make it up in the software. Comparison for the sake of comparison is futile, we all know the next Mario Kart or Donkey Kong or Zelda in addition to playing other cross-platform games will sell like hot cakes. People who do not even buy their favorite console on Day 1 because there are not enough games, should not question Nintendo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that almost every nintendo first party sells 20-30 million copies speaks volumes, lol Nintendo games are my go to when i feel burned out of traditional games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beg to differ - Nintendo actually makes superb hardware. None of my Switches have died on me, ever (had one case of JC rubber break) - they usually do specs based on what they can do with games without focussing too much in graphics, rather gameplay. In contrast had to get PS5 repaired, fans get clogged easily etc. XSX has been going strong too btw.

Wasn't talking about the quality of the hardware. I said "good" because that's what was being used to refer to innovation (in previous comments) and how for the cash, certain companies are giving unprecedented raw power. And that's just not Nintendo's focus, most of the time people don't want to spend their free time playing a AAA game, remembering the story and all the roles. Nintendo has it's own place which no one else has been able to provide and I will definitely get Switch 2, I hope it's OLED by default.

AnK Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 (edited) Le point:- Switch 2 is 33% more than Switch launch MRP.(Rumoured) PS5 was 33% more than PS4 launch price when it jacked up prices due to inflation. But Sony is greedy & all the rest are reasonable!!! Edited January 22 by AnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that wasn’t really the point… The real point just went overhead coz you:- Ank, there are more than 10 people active on this thread. Multiple people have given their views about Nintendo Hardware, most of them criticising it. My comment didn't mention anyone and yet you are the only person who needed to provide a justification. Anyway, I am so happy that this forum has been able to live upto its promise. The promise of allowing people to build themselves up and provide an avenue to express their voices, especially when the real world hasn't been so kind to them. Keep empowering yourself, you really have the power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Well I wasn’t the one writing an essay’ that too twice criticising all those 10 other ppl’s opinions piece by piece & stooping as low as mentioning their gaming purchases…. I just gave mine & moved on….what less privileged ppl usually do… But Masters of the Universes are visibly built differently…. Atleast somewhere deep inside their own heads!!

People who do not even buy their favorite console on Day 1 because there are not enough games, should not question Nintendo. I care. Switch was clearly aging and needed a big update of specs. Play Octopath Traveler 1 and 2 for example, they play well and suit handheld style gaming and an amazing RPG. But it runs at 30 fps and don't look as crisp as other version. Visuals and look are fine but playing it smoothly at 60 fps in handheld mode would be amazing. It is only when I saw some videos on YouTube of Octopath traveler 2, I realized what is missing in age old hardware. And that's just one example. We need handheld like Nintendo to have updated specs in order to play games better. Of course no one is asking them to take years of game development for in depth detail but we still need improvement of hardware to support smoothness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
