DLC is an area that Nintendo have no experience of, and it's one that they're going to have to learn quickly as the announcement of Nintendo Network also confirmed the ability to enable DLC in games. So what can Nintendo offer on the downloadable content market? From a company that demands perfection at launch, DLC will only come in the form of optional content, and there are a variety of exciting options available to Nintendo for their big three franchises.
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 have a feeling that DLC strait from Nintendo for in house games will be epic. I am sure they will add large upgrades and extensions to single player games. DLC from most other devs will likely be more of the same we have seen for the last 5 years.
It will look like free DLC :)
Nintendo did some DLC before, for Professor Layton and Picross 3D has downloadible puzzles
I see them doing it either really good or really bad. Like a new temple in LoZ for $5 or a Top Secret Area (infinite powerup room)in Mario for $5.
Long as its not price like and or look like Activision and Crapcom DLC, I don't care.
I would only care rof mariokart DLC classic and new tracks. and zelda expansion packs
