we've said it a million times, pre-orders were always gonna sell out, they calculate the best amount to balance scalpers and superfans.

>>12320Forget the star spangling nothing-burger exclusives (because they're not worth it anyway) The real question is: are they going to dump all the first party games into the live stream service including the previous Super Smash entries while risking Ultimate's reputation?

Another idea is a Super Game Boy or Game Boy Player analogue for the Wii U that takes 3DS and DS carts, but I guess it would be the same thing. The PS TV model is superior as it wouldn't require being connected to a Wii U. I'm sure Iwata would have been all over such a gimmick had it been brought to his desk. R.I.P!

Browsing through ancient Jewtube videos out of nostalgia, I stumble across with rants about Sony's Super Smash clone and most of its flaws can be applied perfectly with Super Smash itself:

<Someone think of the children who get lured by the M rated franchises because of the crossover
>>It's a ripoff
<Ignoring the fact that PowerStone exists
<Or the fact that Smash borrows characters from other franchises just to stay relevant, if the game had original characters instead, Sakurai would've been demoted as a janitor.

If you look at history, this is very similar to the NES/SNES situation. Nintendo continued to support the NES until August 14, 1995 in North America and Europe, but in Japan, they supported it until September 25, 2003. Given how the Switch isn't region-locked, if history repeats, it could be supported for another five years or so, considering how vast the established userbase is.
No.13150

Remember all the wailing about $90 gaymes? Having to pay a monthly subscription to use a built in talk feature? How the Switch 2's hardware is only a marginal improvement on the Switch? How Nintendo's attempts at cracking down on piracy was so extreme people would get banned for used games? And what happened? They still bought out the Switch 2.

No.13156
>>13155Might have something to do with 3DS flopping. Switch is the #2 selling console, it has an established userbase of 150-160 million, so there's less incentive to discontinue support.

No.13157
>>13156There definitely is some truth to that since 3ds sold about half as much as either DS or Switch, but I wouldn't put much faith in Nintendo to seriously support the system
When I look at this list, it looks like they were attempting to kill off the 3DS; there was no effort involved in maintaining the userbase.
There are rumors that more "support" was planned for 2020, but was canceled when the remake of Bowser's Inside Story, a then 10-years old game that was playable on the 3DS, flopped.

I can't find any examples for 3DS version but I imagine it would be the same since the models are not gonna be heavily animated.
This isn't the first time characters have been censored and isn't the most revealing of toriyama's dragon quest designs either. Warrior from DQ3 and Mana/Manya from 4 from 4 both have more revealing outifts, with Warrior's being censored in the recent HD-2D remake of 3.

>>13407Yeah my understanding is that he wanted to quit before Dragon Ball was even made, back when he was just working on Dr. Slump, but Dr. Slump was popular enough that there was a lot of pressure on him, so he switched to Dragon Ball and branched out.
Funnily enough the other two most successful manga creators who first achieved success in the 80s did the same he did, likely mimicking him but maybe also just chasing trends in general, by incorporating a lot more fight scenes into their works.
Rumiko Takahashi went from Urusei Yatsura to Ranma 1/2 to Inuyasha.
Gosho Aoyama went from Magic Kaito to a samurai themed manga called Yaiba, though he eventually backed away from the battle shonen trend when he began Conan.

NINTENGODS JUST RAPED AN UPPITY GAMER
Nintendo wins lawsuit against player who kept streaming pirated Switch games and taunted 'I can do this all day'
Jesse Keighin told Nintendo's legal team: "You might run a corporation, I run the streets"
Last year Nintendo sued Jesse Keighin, who it claimed would stream games on various online platforms under his username Every Game Guru.
The lawsuit stated that since 2022, Keighin has streamed "at least 10 of Nintendo's leaked games" before they were released, "more than 50 times in total", the most recent at the time of the lawsuit being Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
It also claimed that Keighin taunted Nintendo, sending the company "a letter boasting that he has 'a thousand burner channels' to stream from and 'can do this all day'".
As reported by TorrentFreak, Keighin continued to taunt Nintendo's lawyers on Facebook, writing: "Should have done more research on me. You might run a corporation, I run the streets."
In April 2025, Nintendo filed a new motion claiming that Keighin had "evaded service" of the complaint, but was then served it through substituted means via both email and letters to his mother, grandmother and partner.
After Keighin failed to respond by the deadline, the court clerk entered default against him on March 26 and Nintendo asked the court to make a default judgement against him for $17,500 in damages.
A Colorado federal court has now granted Nintendo's request, and ordered Keighin to pay $17,500 in damages, but also said that two of Nintendo's requests for a permanent injunction couldn't be granted.
Because Kieghin mostly used emulation software available online, the judge ruled that Nintendo's request that he "destroy all circumvention devices" was rejected, because the request was "unclear" and "unreasonable".
Nintendo also asked for the injunction to apply to third parties who worked alongside Keighin, but the judge denied this too because Nintendo didn't specify who these third parties were, meaning the final judgement was simply for $17,500.
Nintendo's lawsuit named 10 pirated Switch games that Keighin had streamed, but only asked for damages for the last infringement, Mario & Luigi Brothership.
Nintendo's motion said it could have asked for more damages than $17,500, because by not responding to the order and defaulting, Keighin had technically conceded liability for all ten games Nintendo had listed in its previous complaint, meaning it could have asked for at least $100,000 ($10,000 per game).
Instead, it only asked for $10,000 for the latest infringement, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, as well as $7,500 ($500 x 15) for multiple violations of circumvention of its anti-piracy security.
"In similar circumstances where defendants 'knew about, but repeatedly ignored' copyright notices and encouraged and assisted others' infringement but failed to appear, courts in this District have awarded significant statutory damages," Nintendo's motion in April stated.
It added: "Here, an award of $10,000 is eminently reasonable for Defendant's blatant streaming of Nintendo's video games before any ordinary consumer had lawful access. It is particularly reasonable since Nintendo is electing not to seek damages for infringement of the other nine works as to which Nintendo has established liability."

you up[.]" Mitchell Decl. ¶ 29. The next day he posted, seemingly acknowledging his evasion of
service: "Should have done more research on me[.] You might run a corporation[.] I run the
streets[.]":

That's how they got Super Mario Galaxy to run.I'm pretty sure Sony's 2006 Sixaxis controller could run Super Mario Galaxy 2 the way the Switch joycons/pro controllers run it, using gyro to aim the star bits.
>I for one miss 3D without glasses tech, it's my understanding it got abandoned once they realized it's not tenable for long play sessions.I remember few games impressing me with the 3D; really only Zelda OoT is coming to mind, like when you're in the lost woods and those yellow particles are flying around slapping you in the face. The 2DS was okay, and had a form factor where you could actually comfortably use the d-pad, but they cheaped out on the speakers in those models and the bumpers could have been better. It's not fair to say they abandoned 3D, because to my surprise, the 2DS came out in 2013, just 2.5 years into the console's lifespan. Time really flies.
>I agree, but it may be enjoyable in docked mode though. Like for my setup I've a TV mounted to the wall, above my desk.Entertainment has generally moved from the living room to the bedroom, and Nintendo's primary demographic of 18-32 y.o. men are pretty much all gaming like you are and own mice and PCs. When you take this mouse gimmick blunder, along with Mario Kart World's 8-year development into being the first negatively received game in its series, the recent Pokemon Company leak showing the Pokemon games are made for pennies and released to controversy while the company raked in 14
billion in profit last year alone (and that this is just allowed by Nintendo higher-ups), and the soon-to-be Metroid Prime 4 (also) 8-year-long troubled development into inevitable disaster, it all shows that a decade on from Iwata, Nintendo is managed by incompetent people who don't know games.
