In an age where online gaming and photo-realistic graphics rule, sometimes it's easy for the classics to be looked over. Most of the legendary series from gaming's past still live on yet tend to play second fiddle to newer titles such as Call of Duty or Bioshock, but is it time Mario and Link hang up their dungarees and tunics or do we still need them to fight the forces of evil on Nintendo systems far into the future?
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.
I like variety. That's the main reason I own multiple systems. One just isn't enough for me. Now if you like to stick to one system because it suits your needs as a gamer that's more than fine. But don't be quick to attack others just because they like a system that you don't or aren't very fond of the system that you own. Play what you love and be good to others. We're all gamers here, so why can't we be friends.

innovation, great list of exclusives, they are the taste of gaming, games like, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, GTA, MGS, uncharted, gears, halo, Resi(sadly mediocre now) are the soul of gaming, without them the gaming landscape seem lifeless
I give them innovation, they challenge themselves of creating or (reinventing) new ways to play. the wii remote was great for some games such as (metroid prime, no more heroes, skyward sword etc...) the gamepad has potential but i guess we just have to wait and see, they like to innovate and take risks so only time will tell if they went the right way.
There is only one reason, Nintendo Exclusives.
Currently enjoying Lugi's Mansion Dark Moon and looking forward to Donkey Kong and the new Zelda A Link to the past 2.
And I'm not a kid! Lol
Yawn.
