Nintendo is an incredible company – they essentially invented the modern videogame market, are responsible for the most recognizable figures in gaming, and have always pushed innovation when they could simply rest on their laurels. However, they’ve also made several huge mistakes, and it’s sort’ve a miracle they’re still a company, let alone a successful one. Here are the five biggest mistakes Nintendo ever made.
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.
Very good choice for number 1.
For some reason I thought the Gamecube sold a lot more than just 22 million.
The Gamecube was a wonderful console with some really great games that I still play to this day. Unlike the Wii, it was mostly aimed at the core crowd, which chose to shun it for some reason. Those who did, though were the ones that missed out.
Even though I use a Wii to play my Gamecube games today, I still prefer the Gamcube version of Zelda Twilight Princess, which I consider to be superior of the two (and yes I have played both versions.) I also fondly remember Paper Mario 2, Chibi Robo, Zelda: The Windwaker, Tales of Syphonia (sadly it's Wii sequel stunk,) Skies of Arcadia and many others.
The system was faster and more powerful than the PS2, but it's biggest mistake was probably that the PS2 had a cooler looking case.
I really hope Nintendo makes a return to supporting the core crowd with the Wii U. Of course you can see why they did what they did with the Wii. People say that they betrayed the core gamer with the Wii, but the truth is that the core crowd abandoned them first during the Gamecube area.
LoL-LoL-LoL !!! I didn't know that Nintendo open their own graves by brake the deal with SONY and make them enter the console market :D That's so ROFL! SONY eat them alive from 96 with PS1 & until 2006 with PS2, 10 whole years Nintendo couldn't even dream of the sales SONY did with PlayStation.
PS2 long pass the 150 million mark and it's the most successful console in video-game history, & other than consoles there is a new war in the way those of the handhelds, VITA is obviously the best handheld in the market the sales is not strong yet but I am sure that in 1-2 years when some good games appear it will start sell like hot cakes it will be a very strong opponent for 3DS & imo it will outsell it eventually.
I love the powerglove....it's so bad
