Wii proved that graphical excellence is not essential. Randy Lamberson wonders whether Nintendo can pull off the trick again with the Wii U.
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.
Is it "gettin' kinda Hectic?"
first of all this guy is a clown..the wiiu is a very powerful system and the next generation of console powers will not be too much different so the wiiu is in the lead to stay and with third parties on board and innovation on hand....there is a possibility that the wiiu will be nintendo's most successful system ever...time will tell..but haters will hate along the way
Im starting to think that the Wii U might be Nintendo's last console and i'm ok with that, if they do end up going the software route only. I just don't think it's going to do anywhere as good as the Wii.
OK, let's take out the "I dont like the wii because is a gimmick and I'm a moustache macho and bla bla bla" from the equation. Even if the self-called "gaming journalism professionals" dont like the Wii, or Nintendo products, the truth is that Nintendo is a company, and a company is made to get money, not to make professionals happy. Same as Sony and Ms. even if you cant believe it. So, as a company, the "hated" wii sold, and still sells like hotcakes, same as the "doomed gimic" 3DS (and the XL version had a strong start), and the "hated" franchises from Nintendo still have high scores everytime they launch a new game. Wich is great for the Nintendo company.
So, maybe Nintendo did lost the touch. With you. But, luckily for Nintendo, you're not the only customer they have. Accept it.
