Pre-E3 event to take place on Nintendo’s booth, featuring Shigeru Miyamoto and Reggie Fils-Aime.
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.
well thats something i suppose. Buisness wise it was a good choice but for consumers like me who are waiting for a reason to get the wii u who cant go to a hands on thing I am dissapointed.
The Event on Tuesday (when they normally have a Pres Conference)
They will allow Select Press Unfettered access to their games.
Too many times in the past I have seen E3 Hands -On or E3 Reporting Articles that begin with or contain the following phrases:
-"I did not have much time with the Game but it..."
-"The Line to the Nintendo Booth was long, so I..."
-"I had so many things I had to cover and the Nintendo Booth was packed so I.."
-"I did not get to play that game because the line was..."
-"At first the demos were longer but Nintendo decided to limit them to 10 minutes because of..."
NOW,
This way, people in the press will get more hands on time.
Tuesday is the Day before the E3 floor opens- the press won't have anything to do but play Nintendo games.
They should do these all over the place... Like they did with the wii. Nintendo needs to get people informed about the wii u... Almost every one I talk to about it... Doesn't even know of its exsitance
Well, that hopefully clenches it for everyone. Nintendo will in fact be at E3. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Hopefully for the Wii U's awareness and therefor success, these smaller scale presentations can still be impactful.
Hey guys and gals,
Pay attention NINTENDO IS RE-INVENTING E3. With such close hand on impressions editors will get a chance to play Nintendo's games w/o waiting on LONG lines and barely get a feel of anything. MATCHED with NINTENDO DIRECTS that will be everywhere like E3 videos are... ON THE WHATEVER WEB SITES and MAYBE get some DEMOS as well! This move is kinda GENUS.
To all you NAY sayers out there, when Sony and MS does the exact same thing next year PLEASE "act" like you don't like it...
