Why it is way to early to claim doom for the Wii U
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 will be fine. At E3 they will showcase the new Mario, the new Retro game, possibly a glimpse at the next Zelda, most certainly a look at Wind Waker HD, Super Smash Brothers, and who knows what other surprises they will have up their sleeves.
Nintendo has always been about 1st party software, as most 3rd party developers jumped ship from the Wii and the system was carried almost Nintendo exclusively.
The Wii U doesn't have the same broad appeal and instant pickup and play mentality that the Wii had, but it's a different concept and a different way to play the games. Personally I think the possibilities go so far as to different game mechanics that can be incorporated into the way we play our games.
All this doom and gloom is stemming from the fact that the software has dried up after the launch, but if you think it will be any different for the PS4 you're crazy. Companies always try to scramble to get their software ready for the launch, which means that the next 6 months usually look pretty barren until the next wave of software comes. With Next Gen games costing significantly more money and development times possibly increasing, the same sitution or worse could happen with the PS4.
Anyways, if you enjoy the Wii U, then keep playing it. If it's not for your, then ignore it.
Nintendo plays by their own rules, and they've been around the block more times than Microsoft or Sony combined. Nintendo has been making video game consoles for 30 years (this year). Believe me, there will be a Wii U successor. It just may come a little earlier than expected.
I am not worried at all. Just excited, and anticipating the fun games that are on the way.
That is a great read. Gamers play games not there consuls. Myself i love uncharted and i enjoy halo, metroid and yea i'm looking forward to an HD metroid and xenoblade. I play what interest me, i don't owe sony, ms or nintendo anything.
