Lucas takes a look at the Zelda franchise and discusses what he think Nintendo should do to keep the franchise going for another 25 years.
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.
Nintendo needs to allow Retro (or somebody) to make a "New Legend of Zelda" in the same vein as NSMB on the DS/Wii/etc. Take the series back to its NES/SNES roots. Add multiplayer a la Four Swords. Shift the focus AWAY from fetch quests, NPCs, and the same old puzzles and focus on quick arcade-style combat and exploration like the old games had. See what happens. A revamp worked for 2d Mario. It worked for Donkey Kong and Metroid (both of which were done by Retro) until Metroid Other M totally killed Metroid's momentum.
I believe miyomoto already said a few weeks ago that retro is busy working on another game. I hope Nintendo has some really good surprises in store for us at E3. I would love a new wave race and pilotwings myself. And yes, I would want the new luigi's mansion on wiiU too cause I loved the first one on the gc.
Change the name to Legend of Link. Seriously why is Zelda's name in the title? Link does all the dangerous stuff.
Just give us a grown up Zelda for once. I loved twilight princess, They need to take Link into his 20's damnit.
Don't even mention Ocarina with Adult Link, that's a completely different thing. I was so bummed out by Skyward sword after coming off of Wind waker and link aging into Twilight princess.
well retro has hired a lead game programer from naughtydog to work on game engines for Wii u so expect something amazing from them but that said zelda should stay with EAD and let retro make a new ip for Wii u it needs a new franchise.
