"The promise of third-party support is one that will bring many back to Nintendo’s fold. While the company has always shown a knack for creating innovative IPs, the support has been lacking for Nintendo since the middle years of the Gamecube cycle. Looking ahead, the Wii U could be the console that Nintendo always meant to create to compete with more mainstream gaming alternatives Microsoft and Sony."
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 just have one thing to say! All of these articles are coming forth from Iwata now, I wish he would take this time to get me more excited about the WiiU then talk about PS4 & 720. Those systems are vaporware as of right now and don't physically exist
E3 was your chance to bring back the core audience. You blew it. No excuses.
I'm certainly not getting a Wii U at launch.
He has gumption, you wont here the other 2 saying how bad there conferences were, they will just ignore it
But I think alot of people are missing the bigger picture....
The conference was bad, but all the playtestings and things of that nature were great.
So really isnt that whats most important? A conference will be forgotten, trying the system and understand it for yourself wont be.
People are like MOAR POWER MOAR POWER
but whats the cost of that?
Do we really want to buy a 400+ dollar system, that costs so much to dev for, it might destroy the system?
I am not sure.....
I mean how much better can realism get? Id prefer more artistic directions, which dont require the power to supply a small city
my 2 cents
