The next generation of consoles is right around the corner and Technical World has compiled a guide with everything you need to know about Nintendo's offering, the Wii U. The successor to 2006's Wii, Nintendo is attempting to blur the lines between hardcore and casual gaming with their innovative new controllers.
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.
Everything except the technical specifications...which means...almost nothing...
I want to know if I can plug a mem stick (or even have a media server) and watch videos off of it. Come on Nintendo you want this to be the multimedia system?
Everything you need to know except actual specs :P Its OK we will all know in less than a month.
why do we need to know what the cpu/gpu do?? is the question you need to know from Nintendo is "will the wii u be able to support games and provide full content that matches MS and sony consoles and also future consoles! like the wii U some were annoyed that games were similar price but offered standard def graphics and limited ram so the machine could not render certain in game options or run at a specific frame rate without freezing as too much was going on at one time. The answer from what i have seen is YES so far and provides us with 720p and 1080p at 60fps!
The best TV's only offer 1080p so the WiiU is more then capable! and if new TV picture enhancements come out that are better then 1080p ask yourself the question! how much will these TV's cost, remember how much HD tv's were when they first came out? and if sony and MS support this how much will their consoles cost! then go back and ask is the Wii U worth the money being asked for it taking in mind it offers better HD resolution and a multitude of ways to play it, i.e xbox and sony with the pro controller, motion controles with the wii mote and nun chuck or the new tablet! seems pretty good to me.
