During E3 this year Nintendo announced their new console, the Wii U. The vote was split on whether it was a good or bad idea.
I personally think Nintendo have dug themselves into an early grave.
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.
This is a nice fanboy article
so fare developers,sony and nintendo say their next system wont be a powerhouse as expected from previous console generations.
stupid tablets and phones are ruining gaming
reason i didn't mention ms cause i don't believe they have said anything on hardware specs for their next system.
I'll wait till it's released to see if it's worth my money.
Edit:@Farsendor *so far developers,sony and nintendo say their next system wont be a powerhouse as expected from previous console generations.* Umm you do know they're probably saying this just to throw the competition off right??
I will get a Wii U on day 1, if it plays GameCube games, because I would be more than happy to rid myself of my Wii, and I still have about 6 GC games that I *must* play before I die (Baten Kaitos 1&2, FF:Crystal Chronicles, Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia, and a couple others)
If not, I will get one when there are several exclusives for it that I cannot go without. Say, 1 new Mario, 1 new Zelda, and 1 new Paper Mario... and another side-scrolling Mario Bros doesn't count.
Oh, you mean the $600 Mario, Zelda, Metroid machine won't hit it with the nursing homes and soccer moms? Shocking.
