Iwata speaks candidly about Nintendo's failure to meet its initial Wii U sales target.
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.
Finally Nintendo admits they didn't do any marketing at all.
Stop apologizing and start making games.
Or step down from your position and let someone new try. The problem is that Iwata is far too soft on the developers. He lets them make whatever they want and take as long as they want.
I wouldn't class everyone at Nintendo as a whole Iwata...it's YOUR fault, your in bloody charge. People just follow what you say.
Typical boss of a massive company when it's done something wrong....blame the entire company instead of the person running it, themselfs.
I hope they start making games look less cartoony and more like the E3 2011 Zelda tech demo. The Wii U has a lot more power than the Wii had so how about making some games that show us what the hardware is capable of
Ah so it is their fault. This is contrary to the belief of many fans of Nintendo.
Now since they admitted that they are the culprits of Wii Us poor performance in the market now they can start to turn it around by bringing must have games to the system and more 3rd party support would be great as well.
