/v/ - Video Games

If they're that foolish, probably 1 and a half to 2 years

>>15739002

>I can't read: the post

>>15739002

I meant to say 3ds.

>>15738996

I fully believe Nintendo will do this considering how blurred the lines have become with their mobile and Console stuff has become since 2017.

The 3DS came out 7 years ago. The vita came out one year later in the west, and killed it way before the 3DS.

But more importantly, it's pretty obvious you're making an OP seemingly about the 3DS to, in fact, speculate that the switch is going to be a smartphone. I hope a minimal amount of anons will fall to this retarded rhetoric.

>>15738996

I would argue it has already happened. The 3ds more or less is just there. Nintendo is done making shit for it, but will keep selling units because why not? That 1 or 2 years will be when Nintendo finally announces it is done with it, but only well after they killed it.

>>15739007

The OP literally says

>How much time do you anons think the Switch has till Nintendo fully merges the mobile and console departments?

So OP (incorrectly >>15739008 ) asked how long the switch has until there's no difference between Nintendo's Mobile and Console markets.

I would say NEXT GENERATION.

Given that OP corrected himself, I would say that 3DS support doesn't have long and would agree with the estimate that >>15738996 put forth.

>>15739012

Shadows of Valentia was in development before the Switch came out and that was over a year and a half ago

>mobile console

they're handhelds faggot, don't call it fucking mobile especially when you use the term "mobile gaming" in the next sentence to refer to phone games, unless you want a literal phone console or something

Nintendo will stop supporting 3DS hardware-wise when it stops selling. At the moment it has a decent back catalog of games and second hand DS games too. As for software it's the end of big projects. Smaller ports and downloadable titles will come to 3DS. Not big first party games.

>>15739036

Yes. How dare they flat out lie, say the 3DS would still be supported alongside the Switch and then immediately fucking drop it.

>>15739088

They didn't just drop it, they straight up took it to the back and executed via head shot, right after the Switch announcement.

>>15738987

If the 3DS was left to die what happened to the Vita?

>>15739143

Poisoned.

>>15739002

The Switch can't "die", because it wasn't even alive in the first place.

>>15738996

It's either that they merge it or kill their console division entirely and absorb it into mobile. Their consoles haven't done shit well since the N64, the Wii being a happy little accident.

>>15738987

>>15739012

In light of Sony’s fuckups Nintendo should make these two the Switch mascots

Hell even make special themed joycons of them

one for each hand

3DS got luigi mansion game on japan and sold like shit. It's dying or already dead. Retards at nintendo most likely realized they fucked up by developing some games for 3ds instead on putting everything on switch. Retarded nintendo is retarded. That said not sure if it's only remake in this case japs don't care about remakes much and need another game to test.

>>15739226

>3DS got luigi mansion game on japan and sold like shit

It sold poorly?

>>15739365

Well that was a shock.

>>15739365

Not surprising given console sales explode on launch and massive sales like black friday. Otherwise it is a slow trickle.

>>15739143

She's sharing a dumpster apartment with Ouya.

>>15739365

Why does Mario Party sell so fucking well? I could never enjoy those games. I can not see the appeal.

>>15739012

>2 hour MAX battery life

How do i fit the Gameboy Switch in my pocket

>>15739598

It's not really something to play by yourself.

It's a solid, pretty hectic game to play with friends. As in, literally a party game, hence the name. That's pretty much its appeal. That, and it seems to be a return-to-form for the series. Plenty of people have been waiting for that since 3 on the N64.

>>15739071

Don't talk about shit if you don't know anything about it

>>15738987

The 3DS is dead as fuck. So has the Switch sold enough units to account for that? It's as much a successor to 3DS as it is to Wii U.

>>15738987

That was the entire point. Nintendo was killing themselves trying to produce software and hardware on two fronts, both handheld and console. The 3DS had a rough launch, and then the Wii U came out, so Nintendo diverted resources to the 3DS but left the Wii U to die. In hindsight, going for the handheld market, which they've traditionally had a lock on, was the smart move.

So now they've created one platform that does both handheld and home console. The entire point was to not divide labour and to unify both hardware (which happened years ago) and software teams. And considering the Switch runs on custom ARM architecture from Nvidia, which is the mobile architecture the 3DS ran on, they made the smart move there again.

The Switch isn't perfect, but it was the perfect solution to Nintendo's problem of fighting a war on multiple fronts.

It's 8 years old, had a pretty good run and makes for a fantastic portable with CFW just like the DS and PSP before it, you wanna see a console truly left to die look at the Vita, sabotaged since the very beginning with poor battery duration thanks to the beautiful LED screen, expensive proprietary AND mandatory (until the slim revision which gives you 1GB internal) external storage because vita cartridges can't hold saves in them unlike the 3DS', zero advertisement, some of it's best accessories (like the charging cradle and 64GB memory card) didn't make it to the west and some of its best games got ported to the soystation 4 over the years.

>>15742005

>because vita cartridges can't hold saves in them unlike the 3DS',

Some japanese Vita cartridges actually save within their own internal storage partition, but it was just the earlier titles such as EDF3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, Oboro Muramasa, Time Travelers, Little Busters, etc. You could recognize them because they had no weight on the memory card or had a "disabling trophies" warning if you bought them second-handed.

>>15742030

I see, i only have one of the games you mentioned (oboro muramasa, and i bought the digital complete edition on psn for $30), no wonder i never noticed, still a damn shame since most 3DS games worth a shit (pokemen, rune factory 4, monster hunter, ace combat assault horizon legacy) let you save to the cartridge and new consoles get bundled with a 2GB sd card anyway.

>>15739143

It was given the Spartan treatment but with nogeams instead of wine.

>>15742049

The Vita still got the worse treatment regardless, and unless you were a nip yourself or a weeb with lot of disposable money like me to import, the handheld didnt have much appeal before piracy finally came in, hence the constant trolling beforehand. Also it didnt help the homebrew/hack scene was full of moralfags and attention whores (although I've heard it was the same case on the 3DS).

>>15742310

Two minutes on 3dsiso, no idea whether it's any good. From a quick glance, it seems the multiplayer doesn't work for europoors using the US .cia, which is what this link's for.

https://mega.nz/#!XTxSzALY!WwTWNVIyHvKtMkUN9kid9zvgInUZhutxOxmsKTkKGT0

>>15742418

>Not using CIAs

>>15742435

Nigger, that IS a .cia, are you retarded?

>>15738987

The majority of the Nintendo published 3DS game since the Switch's launch have been either remakes or ports, with the only announced 2019 game being the Mario & Luigi 3 remake. The only exception to this pattern being that Dillion's Dead Heat Breakers game but that's technically a sequel.

So developers are using either small teams to working on making "quick" 3DS games to develop for (ports/remakes and not fully original games) while the rest of their dev teams transition over to console development with the Switch.

>>15739088

Remember when they said that about the GBA?

>>15742513

This. It's a get-out-of-jail-free card in case the new replacement is a failure. The DS succeeded and as such, replaced the GBA. If the Switch keeps going, it will officially replace the 3DS.

>>15738987

>/v/ I think it's pretty safe to assume that the 3DS was left to fucking die after the Switch came out.

It was before.

It's main gimmick is fully under-utilized. The list of games that use the 3D screen tech for anything other than "wow even MORE 3D" is pitiful. I saw leaked vids of some obvious tech demos that did things with the 3D + camera that I haven't seen used in any games. In fact, all of the games that use the 3D tech feel like they were designed first then bolted the optional 3D tech on afterward.

I'm struggling to name a title that simply cannot be played with 3D off…

3d shantae boobs

>>15742570

The 3D is supposed to be optional, so there weren't going to be any games that require it. What bothers me is the lack of games that have a 3D effects that actually uses 3D. You know, seeing characters and objects close to you also close to you in 3D. Most games don't do this and only let the 3D projection "sink in" your screen and call it day. Pokemon is a good example of this. It's hard to demonstrate this but if you were to take two stereoscopic images from that game and overlay them on each other, they would look nearly identical. Most players don't care because their NPC brains can't process 3D anyway so they never notice the difference, but I was personally looking forward to the 3D aspect and 3DS let me down completely.

>>15742570

Who gives a shit? It's a stupid gimmick. If anything we're lucky that it isn't shoved down your throat just for the sake of showing it off, like the many awful uses of gimmicks like motion controls. It's not a coincidence that most good games don't make much use of either 3D or the touch screen. The only one that actually makes good use of the touch screen that I can think of is EO. I just want good games, not shoehorned-in gimmicks that get in the way of it.

>>15742705

I'm pretty sure most people brought this because it has Toadette farting in it

>>15742676

>>15742697

Wrong. If I wanted a handheld that simply did adequate 3D rendering the PSP exists and has good games. The only reason to have a 3DS is the no-glasses 3D and touch screen (which again most games that use touch did it for menus, etc).

>inb4 3DS exclusives

If only you knew how bad things really are right now for Vita.

Eh 3DS has a good run although its versions of MHXX and DQXI not making here sucks. EO Nexus and Persona Q2 should be good games to end the system.

>>15743233

vita owner here.

How bad? are we talking in terms of games or someting else entirely

Like sony being kikes

>>15743373

Also a capacitive touch screen would have been so much goddamn better than the piece of shit the switch has. If they ever shit out a Mario Maker port it's gonna be like ASS to actually make levels, not to mention how fucking smudgy the screen will get. I think it says a lot that the Multitouch screen that was so graciously stuck in the switch is used for fucking nothing but labo, miimaker, and PHONE GAME PORTS, when if you went with a fucking capacitive touch screen, you wouldn't have kneecapped yourself for ESSENTIALLY EVERYTHING for pointers/touch controls, and on top of all of that, it would have been CHEAPER TO MAKE if you went with that.

>>15743387

resistive, not capacitive, I'm so goddamn angry at the wasted potential.

>>15739526

Does she say nothing throughout the whole story? that's autisticly hot

OH

AND LET ME FUCKING ADD, THEY COULD HAVE EVEN FUCKING PARTNERED WITH THE NON-WACOM DIGITAL TABLET COMPANIES, AND GOT A NICE OPEN STANDARD DIGITIZER WITH NICE SHIT LIKE PRESSURE SENSITIVITY PUT IT.

AND THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR NEARLY SHIT TO HAVE IT WORK.

>>15743387

The touch screen has to be half-assed in software otherwise the docked mode will limit the games that actually use the touch screen. This problem persists if it had a resistive touch screen. The only good reason for that touch screen is for the handful of times you need a keyboard.

Switch may have the power limitations of a portable, but also has the input limitations of a console.

How do I back up my hack 3ds files? Just in case it bricks? I can buy a new 3ds and just paste the files on there?

>>15743387

The issue with resistive touch screens is they look like shit. That's why they did the 2 screen thing in the first place. You have a main screen that looks nice and a secondary screen that is for touch controls.

Also the joycons and switch pro controller are just straight up better than everything before them. Why go out of your way to write software to support the old shit when it doesn't even work as well.

I like my switch.

Nintendo has already given up on portable devices, smartphones killed portable consoles. The only people having a handheld these days are guys who use them as pussy repellent. The Switch is a pretty good compromise, you can give it to your six year old kid and they can continue to play even when you drive them somewhere so they don't have an autistic fit of rage for having to stop the bing bing wahooing for a while.

>>15743504

>smartphones killed portable consoles

No matter how much you say it marketer kun, it won't make it true. Smartphone is a dead medium that only exists because of gambling.

Vita versions in Japan being cancelled left and right. Ban of VNs on all Sony platforms regardless of regions. Japan has to adhere to ESRB and PEGI instead of CERO for censorship. Sony ending production of Vita carts in Japan so no more physical western imports. You'll have to have Sony Japanese account to get new Vita games now. List goes on.

>>15743461

Replace controllers with your mobile device. Boom, better touch screen than the Switch without buying a peripheral. If I'm paying $20 a year for the online and the app why isn't this a feature?

>>15743582

PHONE TOUCH SCREENS ARE SHIT

>>15743230

>not owning both a 3DS and a vita

>not realizing both could suffer the same kind of fate, the 3DS being thrown out like it was a used whore by 3DS owners to replace it with their Switches and the Vita being abandoned by Sony and then abused after they hunt it down to kill it

>>15743645

>There's plenty of native games, a great wealth of them actually. However, knowing you couldn't possibly get by without Mario or Zelda or whatever you play on the Nintendo handhelds I couldn't resist mentioning the capability of emulation.

Or you know all of them are shit and you are incapable of admitting that the market and development potential for smartphone games actually died with the iPod Touch when that was still a thing.

And even then if I remember correctly the iPod Touch wouldn't fuck up your inputs if you were using a bluetooth controller.

Which, excluding the obvious issue of technological inadequacy through system "updates" ironically makes a discontinued mp3 player from the early 2000s a better "competitor" to handhelds than modern phones.

Oh, and I'm well aware of those "wargames" that people like to waggle in front of investors every time they get the opportunity.

Everyone knows it's 90% a scam to put a slot machine in front of a potential whale and only relaxing the noose when it comes time to put up the fake eSports event for the "game"

>>15743645

>>15743551

>being this fucking insecure about playing handhelds in public

as long as you mute either the console or use earphones to not disturb people around you (same should be said anyway if you want to listen to music or "play" on your smartphone anyway), I dont see what the hell is the problem.

>>15743309

>How bad? are we talking in terms of games or someting else entirely

HQ California Sony's recent bill on fall October, has killed any interest of jap devs, especially VN ones, to bring more ports on the Vita for its last year, either because of censorship or having to write description reports of their products in english (even if said game never leave Japan)

im usually dressed like a waiter because I used to work as one but I still do play my vita outside of my home, because there are no alternatives to it that could let me play Vita, PSP, PS1 games on the go (alongside of Gameboy/Famicom/SuperFamicom emulation) with actual physical buttons and no input delay

>>15743551

Yes, because many of them are made for the platform specifically.

>2) Is there any way to search for those games reliably even when on /V/ you'll get barely any responses when asking for mobile game recommendations?

Sure, if you know where to look.

>3) Are they any good?

Are women whores? That depends on your definition and taste. Some are genuinely great and some are lazy ports.

>>15743551

I can't tell if this is expertly crafted bait, or a shill that is actually this cancerous.

>>15744082

>who say the future of gaming is on smartphones?

Like it or not, it is. I guarantee you that you will never see another dedicated handheld console ever again, not with a big backing in any case. Kids these days all use their smartphones to play vidya.

>>15743663

Sounds more like an OS problem that neither Apple nor Google are willing to fix. I'm sure with a dedicated handheld OS optimized for inputs gaming devices may take off again, like I dunno the pocket PCs of handhelds or something. Until then we're stuck with these limitations in handheld markets. I'd like to make a dedicated open platform handheld with the right hardware someday. I don't have the capital investment to do it right now. Nor will I ask for it here.

>>15744036

I dress in shorts even in winter because I'm naturally warm at 45 degree Fahrenheit weather.

>>15744108

Nah, I'm sure it's a shill at this point. I don't filter because of the lulzy self-destruction that shortly happens after they're found out.

>>15744108

I guarantee you that people playing retarded kiddy games on their cuckphone look worse than someone with a 3ds. Yet, people won't care either way unless you are already a turbo-autist.

On the topic, i personally haven't played any mobile game in the last 2 years, and i've noticed that this trend also applies on most people i interact with. I think >>15743513 might have a point, after all.

>>15744207

I honestly didn't think anyone would take my blatant Quentin tier Android sales pitch at face value.

Could just longer development lead time, easier and cheaper access to 3DS dev kits (while trying to get Switch dev kits).

>>15744240

You're better at it than Google shills. I can't stop laughing now.

>>15744248

I don't think Nintendo is handing out any new 3DS dev kits for start ups. If you're lucky then you could get one from a publisher. But publishers aren't handing out licenses to 3DS dev kits either.

I know. I called Nintendo years back about their third party policies on dev kits. So far things have gotten more strict since the Wii, but the general consensus is the same. Hardware dev kits are for big third party companies like Capcom and EA who can develop games for launch. Otherwise you're better off using emulators/hacked consoles and testing home brew software with third party engines like Unity. Don't tell Nintendo you use emulators ever. They'll blacklist you from submitting games to them.

>>15739019

It's almost 8 years now.

>>15744240

You legit had me anon.

>>15744189

Bravo.

The Switch is in no way a replacement for the 3DS. It doesn't have the 3D, not even if you have a 3D TV. It doesn't have the dual screens, it doesn't have the stylus, and most importantly, it doesn't have the portability, no matter how hard Nintendo pretends.

Ironically, the Switch might well end up being the replacement for the Vita, as it's almost certainly where Senran Kagura, all the VNs, Omega Labyrinth (already announced) and various other Japanese niche/ecchi games will flee too now that Sony's gone insane.

>>15744493

Portable consoles fulfill two simple requests: one, for the user, they can take it out of their home and play without being tethered to a TV. Two, for the developer, it's a lower-budget piece of hardware that they can make AA games on without them being criticized as hard. It's why Atlus made so many for the 3ds, for example. The Switch fullfills both of those.

Everything else is secondary. The GBA did not have any of the things you listed except more portability but the DS was still a successor to it.

If it continues to sell well and they discontinue the DS line, it is a de facto replacement. Rant about portability as much as you want, have you seen a fucking phone nowadays? Most new phones that come out are about as big as the Switch, normalfags like that. If that happens, the only competition the Switch will have is phones, and as questionable as the term may be when applied to it, it will be the only portable in the market.

>>15744493

I'm hoping Nintendo approves a western release because they want to piss on Sony for cancelling Z's localization. I really do.

>>15739526

Imagine how much better people would be if they actually acted to improve themselves like this

a damn shame the switch doesn't have more updates, it still only has 2 themes and no internet browser

>>15742933

It's pretty comfy, was surprised

>>15744565

As much as I would love that, they likely won't since it will just get banned by every other country's rating board again.

>>15739526

Sauce pls

>>15744493

Jeez, I still haven't finished Z yet, and they're already coming out with a third one?

>>15744524

>The Switch fullfills both of those.

No it doesn't. You see literally no one pulling them out of their pockets on the trains to pass a two hour commute, which is one of the primary times people have to play. I've seen more PSPs in the wild in the last six months than Switches. It's doing well as a TV console, but it's doing abysmal numbers for a handheld because only foreigners treat it as one, and they hate handhelds.

>>15744760

foreigners don't hate handhelds though?

The DS, GBA, and PSP sold great, and the 3DS sold well.

I've seen exactly 1 Switch being used by some faggot coworker and it looked like he was playing on an unfurled map, that thing looked so unwieldy and it was many months ago. I've seen several 3DSes and other shit out in the wild though, and I've also recently saw a fag playing on a Vita in one of my university classes.

>>15744794

>The DS, GBA, and PSP sold great, and the 3DS sold well.

The Nintendo ones only sold well overseas because of Pokemon really, the Vita did so poorly overseas that Sony declared it a failure and dropped support for it despite it consistently outdoing the PS4 (and every other home system for that matter) for a long time and the fact that even now the PS4's library is almost entirely ports of Vita (or shared with the Switch, more recently) games, and none of the handhelds did as well abroad as they did back at home. The entire point of the Switch being the way it was was that they wanted to appeal to the foreigners by making it a TV console while also appealing to the home base with a handheld, and by coming up with a Frankenstein that fails to realize the benefits of either paradigm ended up with a machine that the home base treats as a TV console and the foreigners treat as a handheld because it doesn't live up to their standards for the type they want.

>>15744823

The Vita didn't flop because it was a handheld, it flopped because of Sony's incompetence, as the PSP's success proves. There was so much wrong with the Vita in terms of everything that Sony did and didn't do that it would require an outright thesis to do it justice.

Pokemon is a big deal for Nintendo handhelds, yes, but Nintendo lives off their first-party in general. The Switch wouldn't have sold nearly as well as it did without BotW which literally everyone was raving about; it was so obnoxious.

The Switch has performed fine so far as a… whatever it is, hybrid abomation, so far and will likely continue to increase its sales quickly. It has home console-styled games in SMO and BotW which are apparently good enough for the foreign base.

As a handheld, its mainly just gotten ports of games on their older systems but handheld-styled games are being brought to it and developed for it, predominantly because there is no competition to develop for anymore. Dungeon crawlers, 2D games, VNs and everything will unfortunately end up coming to the Switch and it will end up being considered as both thanks to the library it will end up having because of this current, awful situation.

>>15744718

Then let customs deal with digital distribution or just ban the EU release. We'll let Europe deal with 1984 policies.

>>15744794

Joycons alone don't have a good ergonomic grip for hand held mode. At least not with my big hands without a grip.

>>15744857

>The Vita didn't flop because it was a handheld, it flopped because of Sony's incompetence

The Vita didn't flop though, it only failed overseas. Sony doesn't really have much to do with the success of their hardware, because despite their best efforts developers kept the Vita going strong for years after Sony dropped it, with the PS4 getting pity ports essentially.

>>15744867

>just ban the EU release.

This. I'm not a fan of games getting a Western release at all since it only attracts the attention of cancerous fucks who end up censoring our shit, but Europe especially should not have a say in anything related to video games whatsoever.

>>15744888

Nintendo will never allow it, but I would love a Xenoblade cross promo with Omega Labyrinth having Pyra and Mythra as a localization bonus.

>>15744911

>localization bonus

You mean as a crossover bonus? I don't see any reason why that'd be exclusive to a cucking of the game.

>>15744922

Dude… I just want to see Pyra's and Mythra's tits grow bigger than they are. And no, the localization will be fucked if Treehouse or NoE got directly involved.

>>15744108

>Expert bait

No such thing, falling for bait is retarded and this faggot is clearly this imbecile.

Guys playing in public is equivalent of girls using their phones instead of talking with their friends that are sitting besides them.

>It's better to play casino on your cellphone than playing Mario Odyssey in public!

Cellphones are not a good videogames platform. You play games in a hardware designed for something else.

>>15745201

> and hell its STILL cannibalizing some the the Switch's potential by still getting shit like Luigi's Mansion

That's another port the Switch needed.

>>15738987

You won't find autists playing switch on public places, they will stick to the 3ds for the time being.

>>15745201

NOA starved Wii U itself by censoring games that only weebs who care about censorship would have wanted to play in the first place

All the games it has gotten in the last 2 years have been throwaway, I can't think of a single game Nintendo released on it this year or the last that wasn't some kind of port or remake. It wouldn't be such a big deal, but Nintendo promised it would be "supported" into 2019. No one thought support would mean a lazy port every four months and firmware updates to fuck with pirates.

>>15745441

SM Odissey? Pokken? Splatoon?

Heck, even the 3ds had SJ redux, yo-kai watch and USUM.

>>15745441

>>15745475

I was talking specifically about 3ds, should've been more clear.

Like, just go through their list of bullshit:

>warioware gold (just a collection of old warioware microgames)

>Pokémon Ultra (the first real "third version" since Platinum in ~2009, if you played Sun or Moon you aren't missing much)

>Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentia

pretty cool, tons of dlc but that can be acquired for free fairly easily, has a cool mechanic that should be in all FE games where you can basically just savescum, but in the end it;s still just a remake

>Superstar Saga remake

>Bowser's Inside Story remake

>Yokai Watch third version

>Luigi's Mansion remake

>Metroid 2 remake

See how fucking depressing that is?

I guess Yokai Watch Blasters and Detective Pikachu sort of count, but Detective Pikachu was just the full release of a game that was released half finished years ago, and Yokai Watch Blasters was released over 3 years ago in Japan. Layton's Mystery Journey doesn't count, it was the first in the series not published by Nintendo and was really, really bad.

So Nintendo's only real "support" is finishing a decent kids' adventure game and translating some other kid's game that released in Japan a very long time ago.

It doesn't help that Fatlus decided to release so many remakes too, SJ and Radiant Historia. They are at least releasing Persona Q 2 and Etrian Odyssey 5 though.

>>15743578

First one (Miracle Mask) is good in my opinion. That, and the Ace Attorney crossover.

The next two suck, they made the games episodic adventures when they are supposed to be comfy investigations of mysterious towns. When every episode needs a twist they all end up terrible. Better to just have a few good mysteries than a bunch of terrible ones.

Is this really the game? I'd have expected it to be bigger.

>GOOGLE IS NOT GOOD

Agreed. I stopped using webm formats and just use mp4 instead because the webm container is just part of google's plans to engluf everything it sees. The only reason why people use webm is because of cuckchan anyways.

not to mention Kirbys epic yarn being ported to 3ds in q1 next year and not the switch.

You don't understand, because releases for the 3DS took an effective nosedive after the Switch and there's barely been any ones of quality since the release of the Switch

>>15746338

The 3ds was nearing the end of it's cycle upon the Switches release though, if the releases took a nosedive at around that time, it would have been the norm for the system.

but instead you were getting (albeit ports) first party releases for the system at around that time, along with some other decent Jap releases.

It's been what, nearly 7 years?

>>15746404

The 3DS was doing fine. It was slowing down, yes, but to say it was "near the end of its cycle" before the Switch release is silly, I'm not even going to get into how many hardware iterations they ended up releasing. Its only been 4 years since the New Nintendo 3DS released, and 1 year since the N2DSXL released, but that one was clearly just intended as mop-up as anyone can plainly see.

Almost everything released in the last 2 years are ports and remakes.

It was only 3 years since the N3DS shit when the Switch came out.

>>15746338

>there's barely been any ones of quality since the release of the Switch

Dragon Quest 11 and Sekaiju no Meikyuu X both came out, and I've heard good things about Alliance Alive. Persona Q2 is likely to be good too. It's slow, to be sure, but it's been a slowing trend for a while now.

>>15746645

>Persona Q2

Don't be shocked if it gets a Switch port or fully jumps ship to switch.

>>15746946

It comes out next week, there's no way it's jumping ship entirely.

>>15747002

3G and 4G were on the 3DS as well, not just XX, and even then as bad as XX is it still predates World.

>>15738987

good

>>15739023

From the context of the post you should have been able to figure out that the OP meant to say 3DS.

>>15747130

Like I said, all (((localization))) is cancerous, period.

>>15747130

By allah, they censor even the wrists.

>>15747130

Again, though, that's not America - that's Treehouse. They can't do any damage to games that aren't first-party Nintendo, and even then only if they're allowed to do the translation.

So you're dealing with two seperate issues: Europe has tyrannical governments that want to censor everything. America doesn't have that, but instead has cancerous SJW-infested "localization" departments who think they can "improve" the game by cutting content and filling it with memes.

Ironically, Xenoblade 2 turned out so well because they let Nintendo of Europe translate it, thus avoiding most of the pointless censorship. (And even then, some dialogue was still intentionally toned down/mistranslated, like Poppi's Dog Mode and Bikini Party Mode).

>>15747539

Even then, it's still not that simple. Both ESRB (America) and PEGI (Europe) were fine with Omega Labyrinth Z, it was Britain in particular that made the fuss over it.

>>15747556

I'm most likely believe it was resetera and other no-fun allowed faggots who tipped the UK government and SCEA to get involved, over the presence of the masochistic loli character in OLZ.

>>15747593

Needs to die.

Fuck we need more of those.

>>15738987

The hardware is 7 years old at this point, it needs to die.

>>15742513

Now that was infuriating. The GBA was just 3 years old when the DS hit. By 2005 Nintendo just executed it, and then poured salt in the wound by removing GBA functionality with the DSi in 2008.

>>15748716

Nah, we have enough indie niggers ruining them.

>>15748858

I wish classic GBA would have a blacklight because I actually like the design of that over the SP. It was much more ergonomic for my big hands. I just have big hands I guess.

>>15748973

I found the original, wider design more comfortable too, but the backlight and clamshell design to protect the screen was too good to pass up, and I loved the NES design.

I think the original GBA was the last Nintendo handheld to have a fat d-pad. Everything since has been rather small with micro-switches to fit the clamshell designs of the SP/DS line, and the GBA micro was too tiny to be worthwhile in any case.

>>15749069

GBA micro also doesn't fit Gameboy cartridges. Only Advance ones. So good on you getting an SP.

>>15748737

I mean good ones not leftist hipster trash.

I really want to marry Pyra and have some children is the Xenoblade 2 game for me?

>>15747539

>Again, though, that's not America - that's Treehouse.

You say that like there are any good localization companies at all.

>>15747639

I'll never understand the 3d hate. Especially when tendo offered a cheap glasses-free experience. It looks cool and can make a game more immersive.

>I'll never understand the 3d hate. Especially when tendo offered a cheap glasses-free experience. It looks cool and can make a game more immersive.

It's like what >>15742676 said, most of the

3D effects were just giving a "sink in" projection and that's it. Kinda like how the dual screens werent much used on the 3DS beyond shifting all the UI/menu on the bottom screen, while there were games during the DS era (such as Hotel Dusk, Nanashi no Game, etc) that were creative and took advantage of the form factor

More like the ds was finally put out to pasture, I mean fucking christ there were more iterations of the ds than there were sega consoles.

Ds, ds lite, dsi, 3ds, 3dsxl, new3dsxl, new2ds.

Sega master-system, megadrive, saturn, Genesis and Dreamcast.

>>15752990

Absolutely agree. Especially with it being glasses free, I'm amazed it didn't catch on everywhere. (Well, I presume Big N owns the patent, which is why it's even more baffling they're not doing more with it.)

Aside from doing cool effects with it and the general added sense of immersion, 3D is genuinely helpful for games that are… well… in 3D. Being able to accurately gauge how far away that platform is before you have to make the jump makes for a much greater feeling of control and immersion.

That and Senran Kagura demonstrating that the ultimate use of the system was to make 3D boobs.

I want a switch

But are there any games

And wil nitendo burn me in a year with a new model

>>15753307

There's a few games for it

>>15753307

They're already burning you with paid online.

>>15753336

If we're ignoring things that no one cared about, you should drop the DSi from your list.

>>15753342

Not him and I wasn't actually aware Sega was part of the Not-Computer home console market so I learned something regardless.

>>15753029

True that not enough games took full advantage of 3d. There werent enough realistic graphics in general even though the 3ds was capable of it.

The second screen is nice for hud/map which most games did correctly from what I remember. It frees up precious space on the main screen where the action is.

>>15739071

You're a nigger.

>>15739598

>Why does Mario Party sell so fucking well?

It's a party game.

>>15753348

The Master System was called the Mk III in Nipland for a reason, it was a redesign of the SG-1000 II. The Japanese version is backwards compatible with it as well. I think the US version is as well, but the carts don't fit or something like that.

The more you know.

To be fair, it's essentially an idiot tax since only normalfags play multiplayer, but it's still a business practice that shouldn't be supported.
