Nintendo has faced difficulties in the recent years with slumping sales and falling third party support. Is there a way for them to turn it around? Nintendo already has plans in the works. But if they do two more simple things, they would have a much better chance at succeeding
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.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "The Nintendo Partner Spotlight sale event has discounted a number of worthy titles on the Switch. Here are 6 of them you should check out."
Nintendo doesn't need saving.
Nintendo does not need saving. This guys "articles" if you even want to call them that, are terrible. Devoid of fact, reason, and worse of all substance.
Just terribly written. Sensationalized headline.
I will give one example why this article is beyond hope
"I felt they abandoned their core gamer market with the Nintendo Wii"
So is that why the Wii saw
Fire Emblem
Sin and punishment 2
Punch out
Metroid
Zelda
Mario
Kirby
Dk
Because they abandoned the core?
FYI, Nintendo put more core titles on Wii than any console they had previously supported. THAT is fact.
I also love it how this stupid article compares Nintendo to other companies not nearly in the same position as them to try and rationalize his ridiculous arguement.
Another dumb piece with wrong information.
Do some research before you make dumb claims.
Why are articles like this still being approved?
This is the same stupid made up information that has been in the other 100 articles that say "do this to save Nintendo"
Nintendo is not in trouble. It is better financially than either of the other two
Well written and much more objective than the blindly obedient Nintendo fans that won t acknowledge the obvious - even hen Nintendo itself does
One thing I don t understand is if a person cares for a console and/ or games company, then why support thier bad decisions and/ or errant direction?
