Nintendo: General Discussion

If Switch 2 is backward compatible with Switch games there's that problem solved

Artists make so little money from the likes of Spotify or Apple Music though. This adds more value to the subscription service (a subscription where 100% goes to Nintendo) and if it upsells a few more subscribers or retains subscribers then that’s a win for Nintendos accountants.

They’re making the NSO subscription have more value and thus people are less likely to unsubscribe. It’s not a bad business model. Not saying it’s best for the consumer just that it’s an increasingly common model nowadays.

I'm enjoying the music app so far, nice for a bit of background music and since I never really played Animal Crossing I'm finally getting to hear the musical stylings of KK Slider.

A widget would be a nice thing to add it they get round to it.

Disappointing.

Current day Nintendo really is trying to disassociate the works from the individual creators. They've been coy and even omitted who actually develops some games. There is only "Nintendo". Only "Nintendo" made games and "Nintendo" made music.

The kids are playing Animal Crossing as it's Halloween 🎃 time there. It's been played on/off since the start of covid. Good value for money. 😁

Rigourously obliterating fan channels is like Nintendo's second favourite pastime, just behind suing anyone that's so much as googled the word 'emulator.'

Super Mario Wonder music has been added to Nintendo Music

For those doubting Alarmo is Nintendo's latest system, here's the inevitable Doom port

Frankly, Nintendo have no-one to blame but themselves if the market decides to go to town on their share price. All they have to do is announce the new console and give an estimate of when it is coming out. How hard is that? All of this skulking around does not do their brand or investor confidence any good.

Personally I have lost interest in the Switch 2 at this stage and moved on to Playstation 5. Any of the RPG's or sports game that I play are available, in a significantly better format, on other platforms. This would have been unthinkable for me six months ago.

Guess there goes any chance of tangible Switch 2 news this calendar year. On to 2025. Back to playing games in 2024.

I find it funny how all these analysts, etc are now saying we shouldn't expect Switch 2 news until 2025. Wonder how they worked that out from Furukawa basically saying there'll be no news this year. Those analysts earning their money as always.

And Sligeach, outta curiosity, why are you behind bars?

That is great news. Better than the announcement of the new system itself imo. Glad they finally confirmed it. Would have sweetened the news if he also teased that Switch games might run better on the new system.
