Nintendo Announces That The Switch's Successor Will Be The Wii U Again
Putting an end to months of intense anticipation and speculation, Nintendo announced today that the Nintendo Switch's successor console will have the exact same name as its predecessor, the Nintendo Wii U. It will also have the exact same technical specs and game library, and Nintendo projects the exact same lackluster sales.
In a press conference at the company's Kyoto headquarters, senior executive officer Yoshiaki Koizumi explained the reasoning behind the move: "We decided to release Wii U again because it's pretty good. It rules, actually. I love it."
Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa further elaborated: "Nintendo Land was my shit. Game & Wario was so underrated. So was Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. So was Star Fox Zero. So was Animal Crossing amiibo Festival. So was Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric." Furukawa went on to list every single Wii U exclusive game over the next minute and a half, as Koizumi cheered and applauded.
Also present at the press conference was legendary developer Shigeru Miyamoto, who mostly talked about how much he misses Miiverse. "I'm so nostalgic for Miiverse. When I look back on my life, I realize that without exception, my most cherished memories and friendships all happened within Miiverse. In fact, it was in the Meme Run community that I met my current wife and children."
"Splatoon 1 is the best Splatoon," Furukawa continued. "Mario Maker 1 is the best Mario Maker. Hyrule Warriors 1 is the best Hyrule Warriors. Mario Kart 8 non-Deluxe is the best Mario Kart 8."
"Yooooo, the battle mode with the racing tracks was so much fun!!!" Koizumi exclaimed, as Miyamoto vigorously nodded in agreement. "Underrated," Furukawa repeated. "So underrated."
The press conference concluded with all three agreeing that the Nintendo Switch "sucks" and "ain't shit," deciding on the spot that they would deactivate its online servers in order to reconnect the Wii U ones as soon as possible. "If you like Switch better, I'm very sorry, but it's inferior and we're shutting it down."
"I'm not sorry," Miyamoto said, addressing Nintendo Switch fans directly. "Fuck you. I wish I could shut you down, too."
you are essentially wrong about a lot of things. you're like one of those youtube cartoons of a cute animal or blatent fursona, explaining incorrect and loud political opinions
See this is the problem though. We've hit a point where tech is expected to advance and be twice as good and with all these advancements, and not just in graphics departments, it makes games that much more complex and time-consuming to develop
Genuinely unreal 5 is incredible but games don't need that much more power. games don't need to be 4k ready for consoles because a lot of people cant afford 4k televisions. And yet we're prepping for 8k now. AAA studios have become obsessed with making things prettier and utilizing hardware to its fullest when its wholly unnecessary.
I genuinely don't like Nintendo as a business because of the way it treats its fans but i do respect them using less powerful hardware and making that work. Games don't need unreal 5 to be good. Games don't need complex system programming to be good. there is like this inherent expectation that more powerful hardware will yield more impressive games and that's not necessarily true
