It's clear that after what they unveiled from their latest trailers about their next system, Nintendo's already flaring such heightened levels of their greed, arrogance, vanity, anti-consumerism and preservation, and, moreover, hubris of their very own actions against their fans, and I can already feel it already getting more worse than before, and so far, no one, even anyone outside of Nintendo is doing anything about this. Even people already called Nintendo out on it, and more.
Sorry, but that had to get out of my system.
From numerous people's unprecedented strong negative reactions about their next system, and still rising, it could be that Nintendo may possibly be in for an unfortunate downturn, and despite what people have been saying, I feel in my perspective, they cannot, and surely will not, do a thing to turn it around, and may leave the gaming industry suffering worse than before.
Even their next system is not entirely different, only following the same, unchanged structure and blueprint of their previous, which is the Switch, and never distancing it from others. It only still delivered the dull experience of gaming from that system. Each system from Nintendo offered different menus and experiences that stood them out, and that's what made them more memorable and well-loved than the Switch.
I still can't feel nothing but aching, untold disappointment in them after what they did, now and even before, and, no, nothing from life or people to blame won't change it(seriously, blaming won't ever work). It's Nintendo themselves that created all this. That company may have saved the gaming industry after the Crash of 1983, but if such actions out of their hubris continues, they could, and might as well may, devastate the industry, too. A rather grim bookend for Nintendo, if you could picture it(not that we want it or anything, but only an outcome if certain things around there don't change for the better).
Dual-screen handheld gaming from the Nintendo DS has been, and still it a TRUE game changer for true handheld games as a whole, and the true experience is well-ingrained into our memories, even some childhoods to those that played it for the first time, and is too beloved by gamers to just let go, which we won't.
When we saw the 3DS first announcement trailer, people really felt they were looking forward to their next true handheld system, as well as devs working with it. After its launch, the price wasn't well met, but that got lowered shortly, and people loved having to afford the system and their games' prices. We had more good handheld games from the get-go, and plenty of good online multi-player matches through them. Another good outlet for it, if you will.
I can only say this, if Nintendo can't reason with people after they got such worsening backlash, what will? I feel, in my perspective, we can't bank on trust in Nintendo any longer(about how they're handling their changed directions of gaming in the industry, that is).
I speak of this out of GREAT concern for both outlets of preservation towards the entirety of traditional gaming as a whole, and we should think about this.
Certain traditional lines in gaming as a whole cannot be crossed nor blurred, no matter what people think or say otherwise. Home consoles and handheld consoles are our true two gaming outlets, but hybrid consoles, like the Switch, they just doesn't deliver the same experience we've still enjoyed.
That company's lost their identity and soul very shortly, and Satoru Iwata's words and warnings about the company heading into any wrong direction away from true gaming were obviously ignored after he was gone, and the present management behind Nintendo(key specific people with such mindsets, attitudes, and visions of anti-consumer and preservation actions in that kind of management, to be precise), in all regions, has only made it far worse.
The flaring, negative backlash against Nintendo from people's comments on social media already proves it(don't need any examples to ask why).
Whether Nintendo likes it or not, we the people have to make our own true handheld gaming systems and their software dev kits, not influenced by the likes of Switch(seriously to say, there's far too many products and offshoots influenced and inspired by it), but influenced by the likes of DS & 3DS, but better and more stronger than before. We need a true "Plan B" for true handheld gaming as a whole. True foresight is needed to counter this.
And, we have to take actual steps in preserving actual handheld gaming and the games made for them only, because, let's face it, nothing can replicate the same experience of the originals. And we need to ensure these kind of games last far longer than just decades of playability for new and present people to come. So many exclusives are still in need of preserving out there...
Even if such handheld games are ported to home consoles, the experience and configurations of them are never the same, and we're loaded with the unnecessary weight of slower reaction times in doing so much dual-screen action on only one screen.
*sigh...*
I apologize for this being long, but I can't let this stay in waiting any longer. I worry much, and I also apologize if it bears repeating. And I don't want to downplay anyone's decisions for it. I do express my rights to be concerned at times.
