The Concerning FUTURE of Nintendo & the Switch | Nontendo Podcast #2

[@TheLostYeti]

I would love to see the Pokémon Company re-release a single Pokémon Red/Blue remaster in a Pokédex shaped/themed handheld similar to Nintendo’s Game and Watch

[@twilight2010ful]

I would love it if they released those old games on the switch. But it would also be cool if they put it on the game n watch :)

I think the switch perfectly captured console players and handheld players. I hope they keep that gimmick because it definitely worked. If they could just make it more powerful, I don’t see a reason why they should change much with it. I like having the option to take it to go

[@brietman_]

Me 2. It's a do it all: TV, handheld and partyconsole. But I am thinking more and more about switching to Steam Deck/PC. More flexibility and I don't need to wait for Nintendo fo an upgrade. If there was a switch Pro, I probably didn't think about it.

[@rinkashikachi]

​@@brietman_ hello, my name is Robert Nintendo, I am the president of Nintendo Company. Ok, I'm making Switch Pro, it will probably be out at the end of the week

[@thelthrythquezada8397]

I love the Switch. I love that I have 1 system but can play it 3 ways.

[@Ludwig1970]

I feel like they struck gold with the Switch and every system after the Switch will just be an improvement on that formula.

[@Keithnicity]

As long as Nintendo always leaves the option to still dock it somehow and play it on my tv, I’d love for Nintendo to stick with the hybrid console approach. I personally just don’t use my Switch undocked, ever. For me, playing video games is a relax and have a drink, after work and unwind activity. So I’m playing on my tv. But the option is neat and I completely get the camp of players who play on the go. Edit: also, yes. Get Metal Jesus on here. The three of you talking about video games would be a hoot.

[@thecolourpluto1825]

loving the podcast so far! maybe consider giving the people behind the camera's mics as well so that we can hear what they are saying a little better when they chime in

[@travistorline812]

I definitely like this idea!

[@SparksFromFireworks]

Love this podcast but extra mics for some of the other people might be an idea! It felt like so many conversations had a lot missing without Kim's input

[@loreabiding]

I'd want a gameboy classic or GBA classic. Everybody wants an N64 Classic but I think a GB classic would be awesome.

[@flyingplantwhale545]

GBA has one of the most solid libraries ever, from just about every genre (minus horror). N64, has so much less to offer, by comparison. It’s a shame really that they went with N64 since they can’t even get those Roms to looks and run properly lol.

[@scoopstacey3112]

@@flyingplantwhale545 I have been infatuated with the n64 since I can remember. it was the first console I ever owned, but as I age this sentiment becomes more and more true. It was so experimental, which limited its library and made the games come laced with exceeding amounts of jank lol. A lot of the n64 games I still enjoy are admittedly due to nostalgia.

[@flyingplantwhale545]

@@scoopstacey3112 I don't think the library was so thin because the console was "experimental". It's just that the devs didn't want anything to do with Nintendo's bone-headed decision to go with their expensive cartridge format which was severely lacking in space. Playstation was simply the better console to develop for.

[@thiffio9134]

Here’s a question for a future episode: what is Nintendo’s marketing history? Everyone talks about the games but never their grossing numbers.

[@michaelcullinane3924]

That could be interesting. Earthbound, American vs. Japanese Zelda commercials. The movie the Wizard.

[@brietman_]

The Gaming Historian does. But it's mostly focused around one theme, game or console.

That Shrek 4-D experience at Universal is so cool! The seats move like you’re riding a horse, there’s fog- that unlocked a memory lol

[@Kanecobond]

The 3D TV that you were talking about was the Playstation TV that came out promoting one of the Motorstorm games, you could play split-screen full screen... non-3D side was one player and the player using the 3D glasses saw the other player's screen full screen. it was pretty innovative.

[@Darrky92]

The Wii U pad had the charging prongs at the bottom, as Wood said, because it came with a charge base out of the box. Most people never bothered, and used straight cable to the pad, but I always used the base because having it docked there looked better.

[@jacobbench9402]

The intro hit perfectly!

[@wolfiemuse]

Bob: “I put my own videos on AutoPlay when I go to sleep.” Wood: 20:29 😂😂😂😂 It’s easy to forget as we get new episodes each week, but there is some fuckin GOLD in the backlog of old podcast episodes lol

[@CannonVulcan]

Loving this podcast. The sound is really low at some points and really high at some points though. Cant wait for the next one.

[@kuricosmos]

Loved this episode and appreciated the length and topics too~ While it does seem hard for Nintendo to screw up a Switch 2, I do feel they really need a good amount of power, so they can keep getting the third party games and I'm not sure Nintendo's willing to commit. So, that could hamper some success and maybe not sell the PS4 levels next time but still good sales since the concept works.

[@pufferfishentertainment3]

Bobs wrong, the first game and watch came out in 1980 and donkey Kong was 81

[@gligarguy4010]

As Reggie himself mentioned today, very few times has a company gone from one full success to another. It's only happened 3 times NES to SNES GBA to DS PS1 to PS2 So the odds are against Nintendo for the Switch 2 having a good time all the way through.

[@michelletackett9489]

Lol No it isn't. As a matter of fact, it is on their side. They are investing more into their own developers and the Switch itself is an appealing idea. If Nintendo keeps making great games, they'll be OK. Thing is, Beat Em Ups is a drama king.

[@gligarguy4010]

@@michelletackett9489 I mean, replace "Beatemups" with Bob in that last sentence and I would agree lol Behind the camera Wood seems like such a nice guy, (don't care for the persona in his vids tho) while Bob seems like a total a-hole (weird, because he seems normal in his actual vids?).

[@11DowningStreet]

GB to GBA to DS actually, the Gameboy original was a huge success

[@michelledearth5973]

My parents got Donkey Kong for us when it came out. I'm sure it was in the early 80's, either 1980 or (my best guess.) 1981. Yes. I'll own it, I'm old but I've been with nintendo since day one and prefer it over all others still.

[@gilgomush]

BTW, In Mario Party on switch (I forgot which one) The joy-con would vibrate the tune of the character whose turn it is. I think a similar thing happened with Mario Rabbids. I'd hear a "bzzz bzzz bzzz buz BIZ BIZ buhzz" if that makes sense. I found it out while playing the games while leaning on my hand/joycon. Check it out. I think there was a "lets'a'go" aswell.

[@zachhill5906]

Loved the video. Loved the creative speculation and humor. But… most of the time I have to watch these is at my job and I work in a server room (basically) lots of loud fans etc. thought or critique for future nontendo videos.

24:59 Woods response right after Bob asked what did he like about WiiU….🤣🤣🤣diiieeed!! It’s like he really had no words.🤣

[@koolsergio]

They need to make a switch pro around 500-700 that can play all switch games and exclusive switch pro games. Better ports(eleden ring etc. ) can be for the switch pro, they don't need to introduced to the regular switch. They can continue with the switch and switch light and switch pro's that way they have a whole eco system of switched for everyone. Maybe even more games that work for both. But the switch pro have some sort of ability to scale up the game or extra downloads required for the switch pro to make the game look better. That would be the dream.. I would probably by the switch pro coming from the regular switch. I'm sure many who want a good graphic quality portable system would up of be happy. And those who see that the switch is here to stay would and don't have to much money would get the cheaper versions.

[@COIFISHGAMING]

[@EdensukoV]

The retro console running with the eshop sounds cool. NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA. 100 bucks, game boy micro style but DS sized ( like the game boy “macro” mod for the DSlite).

I've been dying for a proper, pocketable clamshell console The chinese market has some but you gotta mess with emulators and ROMs and such, but there's just nothing new on there

[@HaveButOneLife]

One of the worst possible scenarios for a Switch 2? Probably making it cloud-based.

[@brietman_]

Maybe it's a good way to play modern triple A games. But I have the luxury to play games on pc. So I would never pay €60,- for a cloud based game with compression artifacts.

[@mistahburnz2600]

Bought a Switch 2 weeks ago, So glad to have discovered you guys.

[@goldmemberpb]

They definitely use HD rumble a lot more than you think. It is just that it is not this big gameplay focus. In Legends Arceus, all of the strong and agile move has a HD rumble feedback and you get a feedback for when those rifts appear too. It is not something you need HD rumble but it does enhance the experience more than standard rumble.

I know I’ve of the ports on the bottom of the GameCube was used for a Game Boy plaster attachment. It came with a disc to put in the top, then you’d plug a Game Boy or GBA cart into the attachment and could play it on the screen, similar to the Super Game Boy for SNES. I actually use that all the time to play Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission now lol

[@Armataan]

Game and Watch wasn't even the first generation of nintendo gaming consoles. it was their second. Their first generation of consoles were the Game-on-color-tv consoles that each came with like 5+ games built into the controller board. But Wulff's right on about the timeline. 1975 they transitioned toward video games.

[@Deadforge]

Loving the podcast guys. Just now getting to it.

[@ethanvalentine4299]

I think the new console may even come with a switch... hear me out a home console 4k capable that is paired with a switch or at least has a built in dock for switch backwards compatibility with upscaled graphics. AND the ability to use a switch in a similar manner as the WIIU gamepad! paired with a console and that is the way they are going to continue the DS(dualscreen) format for games!

[@johnsducks9816]

Love this, what Bob was talking about a small pocketable nintendo console, that is really what I want more than anything. I've had nintendo handhelds since I was about 4 years old when I got a Gameboy Advance SP, and I have had every nintendo handheld since, every one of them had fit in my pocket until the switch. I was very upset about it when it first game out, I got one anyway but it took a long time before I actually liked it. It made me so mad when the switch lite came out and it was still too big to fit in a pocket, I want a pocketable nintendo console again more than anything! Would absolutely love it if they came out with a switch lite revision with a clamshell design.

[@pauliina5565]

[@yojoehojo4291]

@25:13 The Wii U was designed to be a DS but for the home exclusively. Not a bad concept on paper, but a lot of games were fundementally made worse because they really pushed this design narrative a little too far. If you go back and play Starfox Zero and think about whether or not it would work better on the 3DS instead, you'll see this.

[@MedalionDS9]

Kinda seems like this podcast is about getting their frustrations of Nintendo out from what I gather Even though they are still big Nintendo channel gamers

[@KevinPfeifer]

Just FYI: Our phones DO recieve signals from space. Its called GPS

[@unquestionabletv]

They could have adult make a small retro handheld that is hooked up to an online store and can download any of the old ROMs; Nintendo, SNES, N64, GB, GBC, GBA, GC, NDS, 3DS, and each game can be Dow loaded for like $10-30 OR just have a monthly subscription for their Retro games for like $15/mo

I can see Nintendo leaning heavy into AR content in their next console. They dabbled with in on the 3ds and with Mario Kart Home Circuit. Now you can scan your back yard and build your own course, build your own Mario level in your living room with AR blocks, may an AR headset or glasses. Seems like something they could and would dive heavy into.

I just checked... Wood was right, there's an unused port between the Wii U Game Pad charging contacts that isn't used.

[@senorsnipey1595]

Im not gonna lie Black ops 2 on the Wii U is still one of the best FPS experiences ive had. Wii U was such a good system. They shouldn't have made the pad the focus but I loved the games that utilized it properly. Zombi U, Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD, Black ops 2 and Ghost to name a few. And I'm one of the few that like Star Fox Zero. Just wished there were more control options and an actual multiplayer instead of the garbage they gave us and the god awfel Star Fox Guard.

[@DLinton]

If there was an "open" HD rumble pack for developers to use and modify, it'd probably be used more often. I don't know how challenging it is to program that stuff so maybe for normal devs, who are used to just length of rumble or intensity of rumble it is too much.

[@gilgomush]

I don't know why I focused on the 2 connected controllers with mario64 in the console... even with zelda next to it doesn't help. Toss over Fzero or something. Nit Pick satisfied. Loved the Pod.

Wood isn't wrong. Our phones get signals from outer space. GPS receives info from sattelites the pin point our location. And that's also pretty awesome!

[@pablobarrios7681]

I don’t think Metroid prime 4 is getting released anytime before holiday season of 2023, retro studios is still looking to hire a ton of technical animators, modelers and a lot of programming/art posititions, I don’t think a game that is nearly done would ever need doing that.

[@ezearis]

I have to say that after all these years Super Bomberman R is still one of the party games we always play. Solo story was awful, but playing with 4 friends is just so fun. Also, regarding features that don't get used... it bothers me that not even Nintendo doesn't use the touch screen, not even for in-game menus. Related to the new Nintendo Switch, it should keep the 720p screen but have a better SOC to have good 1080/1440p 60 frames, and joining with AMD for the use of Super FidelityFX could be interesting. I don't see them going the road for SSD and I don't think Nintendo will put many storage options out there, at least at the beginning, so 128 internal storage + SD card may be the best way to go. WiFi 6 please because the current WiFi chip sucks.
