Will lightning strike twice with Nintendo's tablet-centric Wii U game console? If the massive crowd enveloping Nintendo's E3 booth Tuesday here at E3 is any indication, the answering is yes. Still, while I'd be a fool to doubt the wisdom of the masses, the Wii U's buffet of features could prove tricky to comprehend -- for consumers and developers alike. And if the bulk of the original Wii's software library is any indication, that could prove disastrous.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
I'm not convinced yet.
But it would take a real fool to bet against Nintendo.
It is strange huh?
I watched the whole press briefing live and I still don't understand why I would want this thing....
I feel really dumb for not understanding it but apparently I'm not alone.
It's better to buy Vita
The controller seems like a double edged sword.
On one side that screen could really be tied into games well. For example that could be your radar on a FPS like (COD). Imagine using that to select killstreaks and interact with the battle field.
On the otherside I wonder how durable it really is. Modern controllers we have now can take a bit of abuse. How quickly can this get damaged if I drop it? That and it doesn't look as comfortable as the controllers we have today. I heard the weight isn't too staggering but that's quite a bulky device.
This article writer hasnt even tried it so his opinion is worthless.
I dont need someone who hasnt tried it telling me it will be a hard sell and is bizarre.
I need someone who has tried it telling me if it will be a hard sell or bizarre based on if the system is good or not with good features, if the controller is good, and eventually when they unveal them, the games.
