Tech innovation gets people excited, but it’s the software that really sells Nintendo consoles, argues CVG's John Dean
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.
face it nintendo has ditched cutting edge tech a while back. I know from forums Nintendo fans are disappointed if this rumor is true but its a step up from wii and thats all Nintendo cares about. if you own a wii and a ps3 or 360 i could see them skipping the wii-u. The sad thing is wii-u will be in the same spot as the wii now and lose most 3rd party support. when next xbox and ps4 come using next gen engines(UE4) wii-u will be left in the dust again.
Neither do I. Don't give a s*it for visuals as long as they're pretty and contemporary... Only moronic fanboys get excited over minute details!
Hope we see a WOW or StarCraft II for the Wii U!
Nintendo have a well know rep to march to the beat of their own drum, and create an experience that they feel will be healthy for gaming. Nintendo games are made with innovation and worldclass game design first. Not to harness the epic power of some super graphics chip. With Nintendo in house exclusive games on each Nintendo console. You can easily see the vision of gameplay over graphics unfold right before your very eyes.
The Nintendo Wii U entertainment console will be no different. Superior graphics or not. The innovative industry leading tech will still break new ground and drive the industry forward. The Nintendo 3DS has proven it to be true and so will the Nintendo Wii U. Nintendo loyal fans that invest in Nintendo products will continue to be greatly rewarded with worldclass exclusive AAA content.
Ever since the beginning of console gaming, the Nintendo experience has always set the bar very high for competing games and consoles. There is a golden standard in place that is very hard to match. From 2D, to 3D, to 120 frames per second in 4D.. The Nintendo exclusive experience will remain legendary.
Rated E For Everyone
Well this all VERY Speculative especially considering that the only sources that are saying the Wii-U is underpowered are un-named and unconfirmed..Major developers have already gone on RECORD praising the power of the Wii-U..sounds like B.S. to me.
I care if it is more expensive than a PS3 or 360. If it isn't then i'll still pick one up.
