    Nintendo can’t even do games on a technical standard higher than 2012, how should they use AI? And their hardware is way to weak as well BTW.

    They’re just lucky that the current AI Models are crap, otherwise this would be the next standard they’re missing their “more of the same since 1980” games.

    They should use more energy and minesfor developing innovative games than suing every fart on the planet.

      I’ll never understand how these always get downvoted. I understand Nintendo people love their zelda and mario games, but their console is less powerful than most mobile phones. I bought disco elysium on the switch that i only have for my nephew. It has a lot of trouble running DISCO ELYSIUM!

        I play on Switch and Pc, different games on each. The attraction to games on the switch for me isn’t graphics or power or performance… at all…

        It’s gameplay and form factor.

          I totally get your point and agree with it. I still play on my Vita, GB and PSP to this day.

          What I’m criticising here is Nintendo as a company and the article itself. Is obvious that they don’t want AI because they can’t handle it and they don’t need it. AI atm can replace artists and actors but Nintendo games have nearly nothing to synchronise and the models for the games aren’t that difficult to make. So why should Nintendo care for AI anyway? Just take a look at Google and the other companies spending billions every year just to train their AIs.

        Because even though everyone knows Nintendo’s consoles are under powered, they still usually deliver a ton of gameplay fun.

        In this particular case, very few people want more “AI” in their stuff… and as even OP admits, current “AI” is crap. So why would I want to pay extra $$$ for hardware that can run “AI” when my gaming experience is likely not going to improve one bit?

      So you are complaining they are not adopting something you admit is currently crap?!

      I’m going to complain about billionaire taxes then, I mean I have no billions but I’ll complain anyway

        No, I’m saying, that Nintendo wouldnt benefit at all from AI, so why should they use it in the first place? And the reasons for that are:

        -AI in it’s current state can only support in certain areas -Nintendo’s games aren’t massive enough to profit from the things AI can do atm

        An example: AI can do Text to Speech, but Nintendo doesn’t make games like TES. Nintendo needs to optimise their games highly to run on a switch, which AI can’t do.

        He is just stating the obvious, like saying the sun is hot.

          He is just stating the obvious, like saying the sun is hot.

          But he could say they are engineering to catch up to the trend, right? the question is not if they are to implement AI features in their current 8 year old console. The question is if AI is in their development path in the future

          And the answer is no, Nintendo does not seem to see value there. I for one agree, the stuff you mentioned about AI in other comments in the thread go from “meh” to “I actively do not want that in my games”. This is just my opinion as a casual gamer but I see logic in Nintendo’s stance here.
