There is no mario on vita

>>13818609

But sony has a lot of first party titles

>>13818638

Sony doesn't have mario.

>>13818658

So? Sony has Nathan drake.

>>13818547

Genuinely good, easily accessible first party exclusives with great replay value and large amounts of extra content that isn't locked behind pay walls.

Basically, unlike WiiU, Switch has games.

>>13818678

>what is Amiibo

The switch is all about convenience. Turn off when you want, pick up when you want, play it the way you're most comfortable with.

The vita's mem card system couldn't be further from convenience.

>>13818663

>Uncharted

>Anywhere near as good at attracting parents who don't know any better/casuals than Mario

>>13818714

>Amiibo skins are content

>>13818721

>game data and assets are not content handled by the game engine

>>13818730

Skins aren't content

>>13818721

Yeah, what about an entire difficulty mode being locked behind Amiibo in Metroid 2 or an entire dungeon in TP HD.

>>13818740

Oh I thought the discussion was on the Nintendo Switch

>>13818743

Yeah, because they totally won't pull that off with the Switch, right?

>>13818745

It's entirely possible

>>13818748

No it isn't.

>>13818751

Okay then they won't

>>13818761

Well, not that it excuses anything, which it absolutely doesn't, but if you ever really want some garbage locked behind an amiibo then spoof it, it's very easy to do. I hope people spread the word on this more than already has been.

I'm definitely considering selling spoofed amiibo at the flea market

>>13818678

>Genuinely good, easily accessible first party exclusives with great replay value and large amounts of extra content that isn't locked behind pay walls.

That's what I thought about the Wii as well, but then Nintendo got high on money and started doing whatever the fuck they wanted.

>>13818714

This.

>>13818776

> It's OK to get fucked up the ass if you can use a condom

Nintendo has more successful normalfag collective consciousness influence than Sony when it comes to vidya. It might influence Sony/M$ to make hybrid consoles in the future.

>>13818714

I honestly wouldn't care about amiibo much tbh. The in-game benefits were mostly cosmetics I didn't care for, items that were easily attainable for free, or features I never cared about (smash amiibo training)

What actually bothers me about amiibos are two things. Value, and the turn nintendo seem to take (i.e. the sound test in metroid)

>>13818663

Who?

Everyone knows mario.

Most people knows sonic and laugh at him

Sony doesn't even have anything or anyone for people to know.

>>13818843

It's kind of eclectic too with how they do it.

Literally all the "amiibo" content in oddysey can be unlocked just by getting power moons, and after that point all they're useful for is health refills, or temp invincibility from the least common ways of dying (enemies).

And if I remember right, Breath of The Wild just had reskins of the 100% shrine completion outfit that can't be upgraded as the Amiibo scan prize.

>>13818547

fucking this >>13818837

Then there's the hipster collective who go for Nintendo shit.

Then there's the simply being Nintendo, which is a household name.

>>13818547

>Why did the mainstream public embraced the Switch

It has yet to outsell even the Wii U

>>13818837

>100mb/s transfer speed.

Nintendo Switch games don't ship on those SD cards. The actual transfer rate is closer to 50-60MBps than 100.

>>13818856

You sure?

I vaguely recall it being able to use full speed on MicroSD cards but the internal memory being sluggish.

>>13818859

It can use full speed of microSD cards but the cards its games ship aren't using the ones which have high transfer speed because it would be too expensive to ship a game in those.

>>13818864

And? I wasn't saying they were

>>13818547

It'll kill the 3DS line and keep Nintendo from making another console. Not exactly a good future.

>>13818869

What were you even trying to say then because you sure as hell won't be getting SD cards with 100mbps transfer speed for 50$

>>13818885

You totally can though.

1) It's Nintendo. They can ship actual shit and slap their brand and it will sell.

2) The well-known Vita fuckup, which was the proprietary memory card. Few are willing to spend more than 50 dollars on a memory card, and even less developers would be willing to put their games on the Vita due to possible low sales. Until recently, people who wanted to softmod it are slowly jumping on the Vita because someone's finishing a cheaper memory card.

For shame because I love my Vita even today. It's more comfy than the 3DS and I'm not a graphics fag but the games look better. Of course this is moot with the Switch now, but there aren't enough Switch games to interest me in buying a console.

Because (((the media))) wasn't raving how Uncharted on Vita is one of the best games ever made or that the Vita revolutionized gaming with its unique playstyles. Nobody gave a shit about Vita on launch, at least in Murrica.

Also the only games on Vita are Japan-only anime jerkoff games and inferior ports.

>>13819258

>Simple. One fanbase is a lot more rabid than the other.

PS isn't as strong brand for handhelds. Sony doesn't give a shit about supporting the Vita minus shilling. People literally bought the PS4 for Destiny.

>>13819369

>Because (((the media))) wasn't raving how Uncharted on Vita is one of the best games ever made or that the Vita revolutionized gaming with its unique playstyles.

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or not but the game journalists were shilling the PS Vita non-stop until Sony just gave up on it.

>>13818850

>And if I remember right, Breath of The Wild just had reskins of the 100% shrine completion outfit that can't be upgraded as the Amiibo scan prize.

And Wolf Link.

>>13819103

>1) It's Nintendo. They can ship actual shit and slap their brand and it will sell.

Didn't they admit that the Wii U was a failure and second to the Virtual Boy as their worst selling console?

>>13819519

>implying fanboys don't exist

>implying said fanboys don't inflate numbers because they would buy a literal bag of shit if it had the right IP/company on it

>>13818849

>Sony doesn't even have anything or anyone for people to know.

They could have. They had spyro, crash bandicoot, etc. Everyone knew who those characters where back then. If sony didn't fucking abandon them for 3 console generations they would be on par with mario and pokemon, but they didn't.

>>13818855

It was the same with the Wii-U they claimed it was an enormous success, everyone they knew had one and when they announcement came that Nintendo was ending their productions the fags didn't believe it.

Nintendo actually advertised it properly this time instead of whatever the fuck the Wii U commercials were.

>>13819841

All it told me that they were selling a fucking gaming tablet with a dock.

>>13820105

>2. I hope you've had your fill of Zelda and Mario, cause you won't see any more this generation

To be fair, Nintendo is buying up a lot of studios ala EA to bolster their library.

Getting unpozzed versions of those games in the west are a completely different matter.

>>13820142

Where is your proof?
