Heh love seeing console war back on the docket. Kinda have to admit Nintendo does quirky and innovative fairly well. May not have the oomph the others pack into their systems but has a charm all its own.
Seriously. Nintendo never does anything half assed really.They don’t release something UNTIL they know it’s ready. That’s why you never hear about a nintendo system or game coming out with huge game breaking issues like Playstation/Xbox games
The Wii U and the Gamecube are actually their only flops. And both did reasonably well.
Sony has far fewer in the realm of gaming as they have one system. Given that Nintendo has(had?) multiple, that’s really impressive.
personally I’m surprised game cube is considered a flop. It had a number of very good games and one of the best controller designs of any Nintendo system to date. WiU ya no argument there. You can see the same design thinking that lead to the switch but the tech just wasnt ready to pull it off in a compelling way.
It was a solid console that did well off its own bat, however compared to the others of its generation (Xbox and PS2) it’s a flop, the lack of media really killed it’s advertising and lack of piracy options damaged console sales.
They probably deploy just another high-end heavy duty howitzer that named GoW despite being the 4th iteration of its kind.
Not counting the various lower caliber types of cannons, and the several handheld anti-amour cannons that uses the same concept with the GoW howitzers.
And now I cant get the mental image of Kratos charging into battle with his axe in one hand and his kid strapped to his other arm like a shield. Both are screaming for very different reasons.
Holy crap, I never saw that. Love the little details!

Thanks for the shoutout, Tim. 🙂 Great job. I thoroughly laughed at this one. The Console Wars always put a smile on my face.

‘Labo’-tomy. Oh, Tim, that’s brilliant. You win a free set of dictionaries today. What? You don’t need dictionaries? Well, tough. Tell your–
Boy
–to use them for target practice then or something. That or make another game system out of them, I suppose.

I picked up the set with like 5 different builds and am impressed at both how well they work and how interesting it was to put together and learn about the system. The fishing, especially, is entertaining. My only main complaint is what they used in place of a user manual type thing, clearly geared for kids, that acts like a group chat between multiple users with non-skippable videos and animations. And you can’t move onto the next one without watching the first, etc. I think it’s cool information to learn, but not a fun way to learn it as… Read more »

I was skeptical about the Labo at first, but if you take a look at Labo-Garage website they have going for it, Labo is also being used at a tool for STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) learning programs, robotics and programming main focuses. Nintendo is putting into making educational games with Labo, learn by doing sorta deal, not just some gimmick based games. shrewd.

It’s some kind of cardboard-titanium composite.
It’s actually resistant to bullets
This surprises me far less than it would if anyone else had made it. Nintendo has always made their hardware to last.

I guess having a cross-platform cease-fire on the Minecraft and Rocket League front doesn’t mean they’re suddenly friends.

Tim, are there any plans to address the PSVR in the Console Wars?
I kind of see it as either an experimental or niche piece of equipment in the Wars. There aren’t a lot of them, and of the troops who do get one it turns out not everyone can use them. But in just the right hands it becomes truly devastating, and a grunt becomes an elite overnight. Particularly if a PS4 Pro got their requisition filled out, but an original PS4 can still mostly handle it.

It’s nice being able to navigate to the previous comic in a series, but we lost the ability to navigate to the previously posted comic from Friday.
Any possibility to be able to do both, or is Friday’s comic in the aether now?

I thought that the Switch was applauding himself in the last panel.
Now I realize that he’s actually miming crushing the others.
That’s slightly horrifying.

I wounder if we get a flash back to the previous generations, I want to see the rise of PlayStation from the nines mistakes and the last stand of sega or even better, the video game crash and the arcade wars.

Ha!
They have to finally deploy the X soldiers. I miss them in comic 🙁
I’m just dying to see what they look like. I kind of wonder if they’ll actually be shorter, as the X is a bit tiny.
Tiny… but fierce!

Dude stop, the GameCube was not a flop, just because the Ps2 came iin doesn’t mean it was a flop. If you want a flop then look at the Dreamcast.
I feel rather old that I’m the first and only one to bring up the Virtual Boy…
ahaha that’s genius
Now all Nintendo has to worry about is that exploit in their hardware processor.
Can’t believe the Nins are having a fighting chance against Xbones and Eraserheads with cardboards and tapes. XD
I’m guessing the next comic we’ll see the Eraserheads deploying their super weapon: an axe wielding angry guy with a BOY!
They probably deploy just another high-end heavy duty howitzer that named GoW despite being the 4th iteration of its kind.

Look at the chest… it’s a SNES “mini”

Nintendo didn’t make a mistake. SONY made the mistake
You know, i really hope we get some more Steam content. maybe they act as merchants for a short time during the summer?
