Up at Noon tackles talks with the developer behind the hottest indie around and asks what the hell Nintendo is thinking.
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.
Yeah yeah we get it the ds will outsell and has outsold the vita 162949:1 yes we get it. Move on.
title is written so terribly that i refuse to click the article. but i think the thumbnail just about covers it.
moving on now.
I actually just bought a Vita the day after the price drop. With the ps4 on-the-go nature of it; I think many more will too. Maybe not enough to beat the 3ds/2ds, but certainly enough to make them money.
3DS is targeted at different people which is like Nintendo kind of games and less complicated 3D games with more children like , but Vita was targeted to Console quality games on the go and has great features, specs and value than 3DS with PS+, Cross-buy/play and more to come along with PS4 in the long run since sony never gives up their devices. I love my vita more than consoles since the quality build into this is awesome. Looking forward to more games and remote play with PS4.
Also 3DS is cheaper than Vita, so its not fair to compare both handhelds with sales numbers. And games attach rate of PS vita is great if you consider the install base for most of the games released. If any one tries then they should consider tablets and smartphones as well since they are also doing more gaming now with indies and have 100+ million install based with growing numbers which 3DS can never achieve.
"2DS makes gaming community laugh"
Title fixed :P
