"Nintendo’s latest console isn’t too far around the corner. Next month, in fact, is when Nintendo fans will be able to link one up to their televisions. Not that you’ll need to use a television for some of the games, mind; the console’s GamePad comes with a built-in 6.2 inch touchscreen, which can be used to play some of the games without needing your TV in the equation at all."
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.
I'm going to buy one just for Monster Hunter. Plus, the wife and I can do some casual gaming on the couch. I'm going to wait until the spring, though.
Cant wait...Zombie U is going to be interesting to try.
i bought a 3ds on launch and wow did i get screwed over....over priced,a new xl model out already and no games worth buying except zelda. I will wait until all the nintendo games are out to buy a wiiu. Tired of getting screwed by nintendo. In like a year they will have a new wiiu model out with a more better controller (like wii motion plus) or something better than the overpriced launch model. or it will drop drastically in price. Just something to make launch buyers feel like they are getting ripped off. Love how pikmin2 isn't a launch title like stated either. And how they said the wiiu zelda game will take the skyward sword art style instead of the "HD" zelda video they showed. Not that skyward sword looked bad but they shouldn't show something that there not going to release
