Pure Sophistry: Last to the block in terms of major hardware and software developers and publishers is Nintendo, the dark horse of the seventh generation with its amazing performance with the Nintendo Wii. More recently, this horse has stumbled at the first hurdle within the eight generation, and the other horses haven’t even started the race yet. The Nintendo Direct show at E3, in place of the normal press conference format, is Nintendo’s chance to show that even at high odds, the Wii U (a horse I’m already backing) is worth a flutter. So, are we looking at the eight generations Derby winner? Or will the Wii U be turned to Wii Glue? Read on for my hastily scribbled notes which I dropped behind my desk and tried to interpret for the common tongue below to find out!
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.

At least try to be reasonable. How can any Wii U fan be excited about the Nintendo Direct? Literally every game they announced or gave information on are games you know, without any doubt, Nintendo would be making and likely soon except Retro making a Donkey Kong game instead of Metroid or something new.. What's worse, just about all of the big games are coming NEXT YEAR. Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 8, X (Looks sweeeet), next year.
Meanwhile Sony was incredibly impressive. And while they didn't show a bunch of new exclusives, and subsequently didn't have the amazing showing they could have, their game lineup still looks very compelling and most of their big studios have yet to announce their current projects.
EDIT: And at the moment, the PS4 is only $50 more. Wrap your head around that...
Looking at the title alone , wow seriously ?
I'm looking forward to X , MK8 , smash and Bayonetta 2 ...
However if you werent a mario fan , all you had left was indeed X and Bayo2 .
Zelda fans had a (lackluster imo) Link to the past sequel ...
Retro studios fans had Donkey kong over Metroid or even a new ip .
I went in only expected sequels to stuff i might like , and there were even less of those than expected . it was ok but hardly that interesting with everything good coming at a later date .
Forget the gibberish about delivering pure gameplay content to the main media outlet , the internet , over "dusty e3 conferences" ... they know what they had , or mostly didnt have , and ran away to not get ridiculed
There was nothing that made me want to get a Wii U, and it was incredibly safe.
It was an okay conference, very short, very predictable
Dominated? So having a flop of a system so far and having a truck load of same ole same ole IP's then to top it all off they don't have a press conference and this is considered dominating? Wow is all I have to say. wake me up when the wii u actually has 3rd party interest.
