Nintendo was one of the last companies trying to innovate with each console they released. Whilst Xbox & PlayStation simply went the “more power = better” route.

But it feels like Nintendo has caved in, and is just following suite. Are there any gimmicks left to sell consoles? Or is it just gonna be like smart phones, we just upgrade because that’s what we do.

I’m gonna miss the era of Nintendo giving us never before seen technology on the mainstream

Gameboy (Handheld) N64 (Analog Stick) DS (Touch Screen) Wii (Motion Control) Switch (Hybrid Console)

    Naa the Chinese/worldwide market has some awesome little devices. Nintendo is just what we know. Most of the innovation is happening in the software space and the form factor.

    There’s a metric ton of devices that are completely open nowadays. Postmaster has made it easy to get say balatro working on quite a few devices. And the devices can be as quirky as they want.
