slashgear.com: I have a Wii U. And although I find its motion implementation quite fun at times, and the addition of a second screen a good idea, I haven’t played it at all in the last couple of weeks.
I decided to conduct an informal poll with other people I know who also own a Wii U. I asked them if they’ve been playing with the console much since its launch. Nearly every person said that they played it somewhat heavily in the first week after launch, but little after that.
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.
Maybe?
Anyway, I used my Wii U daily because I mostly earn my living online, and the internet browser in amazing.
"I asked 3 people I know if they played the Wii U and they all said it was big doo-doo head garbage. Nintendo to go 3rd party! Wii U bomba!, etc...
This article is a joke. Agenda piece written by some fanboy.
I use my U daily..in fact I'm using it to post this comment, I was in the middle of AC3 and decided to check n4g and Facebook right quick-and then it's straight back to my game..
I'm sure the wii u is awesome I debated buying one a couple times. But I am surprised that there pretty easy to find at least where I live. Kind of a mellow launch.
I played mine for close to a month straight but haven't touched it much since. Outside of the initial launch games, it doesn't look like a lot of games will be coming out anytime soon. I mostly use mine for nf now and the web browser. Good but not worth the asking price. $199 would be more appropreit. I still love mine but with alot of big games coming out for ps3 and 360 but skipping the wiiU isn't very encouraging. Basically, if you want the best 3rd party games, go with playstation and or Xbox. Or if you don't care about 3rd party games and just want to play the best Nintendo games, go for it. But after owning it for the last month, I can't really recommend it at its current price. Lets see what next year brings at e3.
