Don’t have any major issues with the first half of this list the second half of this list is wild…….

Will be interested to see how the score progresses cause 77% feels crazy (based on whats been released) If you’re not happy with the first two episodes of daredevil born again, I just don’t know what you want. Outside of a couple CGI drops both episodes hit.

This is a Sidekick device would love to know if Valve considers this a will still.
Xbox shouldn’t make a sidekick though they need 2 Skus but one should compete with switch so the other can compete with PC, and we shouldn’t expect them to have the same game capability across the board.

LFG!!!!!

Yup totally. We need the companies who own the rights/ IPs to do it so we can access them legally (like NSO). Which means building hosting and securing them has to be profitable. If AI drives down cost encouraging Nintendo to offer games that are less popular because the numbers work, great!

If you’re making the case that ROMs and emulators provide a quality game preservation solution today already I understand that. My counter is they still require a certain level of technical knowledge and it’s not legal in many cases.
I love a good conversation thank you for engaging.

Using ROMs and emulation on a PC requires a certain level of technical knowledge. It’s also not legal to do that if you don’t own the actual game. I’m sure you’ve seen the news of Nintendo suing emulation companies.

Needing original carts or unique analog devices is a limitation don’t you think? A solution that allows you to play old games on the modern version of their original platform while maintaining or improving the experience would be really great. AI can help with that if used correctly.

I’m a consumer just like you. I’m not going to buy “shit out imperfect recreations.” if AI helps a developer be more efficient, lowering the cost of game preservation at quality that we’re not getting today great (again quality being a sticking point). This could be a new division with new jobs.

If Microsoft cuts Dev teams and start putting out low quality games regardless of how they are made we won’t buy them. They won’t make money. If AI allows them to hire new Dev teams and build quality preservation products why are we mad? How many nonprofit video games are in your collection?

Beat me to the comment, I completely agree!
AI does not need to do it all, we can still leverage humans to ensure quality and add a human touch. The point of the comment is:
AI is not inherently good or bad. How we use and work with it has a huge part in determining the quality of the outcome

Now a VGHF subscriber TY!
Love aftermath, but I think this article is being harsh and assuming the worst. People felt the same way about computers as they do AI, but it’s coming folks. A conversation on how AI should and should not be used in game preservation is a more productive conversation.

I see the logic. My point is when we look at the successful Nintendo systems and they’re less successful predecessors the commonality is they changed things too much (Cube, Wii U). We have not seen them stick to then plan on full consoles. gaming is moving closer to PC, Power is the name of the game

Fair, but we really haven’t seen this issue with PlayStation who’s numbered all their consoles PlayStation 4 was extremely successful in PlayStation 5 is pacing to out sell the PlayStation 4 and that’s with console shortages. And the only real difference is power.

OK, but I don’t understand why you’re concerned. Is your issue with the marketing? Would you have rather them have announced the Nintendo direct but not tell you what it’s for? My point is it looks like a bigger better switch so far and I think thats the right direction adding a new gimmick is not.
comment in response to

Primarily your concern, but more specifically drawing parallels between the switch two and the Wii U. I feel like the design strategy is completely different. Had we gotten more of the same when it came to the successor of the Wii I think they would’ve seen a lot more success.

Completely disagree. The Wii U departed from the Wii. Instead of doubling down on the motion controls that made the Wii attractive to non gamers It shifted to a different gimmick. Switch 2 = powerful switch. As opposed to trying to do something different for the sake of being different.

I’m sure I have a lack of information… But I don’t get it. Say my friends and I stopped going to a grocery store because it was bought by someone who operates the business in a way we are not comfortable with that owner can then sue us for going to a different grocery store?

“Hard stop” is the word you’re looking for. My personal strategy is to announce it at the beginning of the meeting. “Hey everyone just a heads up. I have a hard stop at 2:00.” I’d also suggest setting or requesting an agenda prior to the meeting, helps keep things on track.

Yeah, I disagree. I don’t think Nintendo needs another funky peripheral or gimmick. I think where they need to innovate is their technical strength. It’s where they’ve been lacking since the 64 I see this as them listening to the Customer. Innovation for innovation sake can lead to the Wii U.

Have you ever thought of doing a community game of the year using the same format that you do for the official game of the year?
Not sure if the time cost to benefit ratio is there, but Would be happy to volunteer some time to help with the legwork.
