Nintendo was late to the party on DLC. After knowing that how did Nintendo set such a great precedent, though definitely not perfect, for other developers on their system to make paid DLC? Well Nintendo Gamer Thoughts has a few thoughts, yeah really, about it.
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.
Well, it'd be nice to see some epic Zelda DLC, but why charge money for a few more hours of a game you already paid for? Though, I have to say, Brotherhood of Steel is one of my fav, all time experiences. I just dont think it was quite worth 80 dollars. Damn you Bethesda!! Why do I love your games!?!
Not a bad idea from Nintendo, I am all for this if done right
Mario Kart 7 Dlc please!!
There was nothing in this article that points out how nintend did it better.. My best/favorite dlc experience was with warhawk on the ps3. I can't remember how much they were but with the price you would usually get a massive level, vehicle(s), weapon(s), and sometimes game modes. I sunk 700+ hours into that game and i've never had so much use out of a dlc pack.. Everything this writer mentioned was all present in my experience with the warhawk dlc and this was 3 or 4 years ago.
"When it comes to DLC on a Nintendo console/handheld, Nintendo has set a good example". Too be honest everyone has to set a good example. There have been a few examples when DLC (in my eyes) has been worth it. DLC can be great if done right and for an acceptable price.
I think the title is wrong as it implies Nintendo do it right all ready which is confusing because the article suggests ways to do it properly
