Paul loves Nintendo. Some of their games are listed in Pauls all time top ten. Paul has owned every system (not counting the Virtual Boy), and still has them all. Apart from one.
The Wii journey started from day one. The original announcement, the name confirmation, the launch games, everything had Paul interested and he was sold on the idea. Paul put my pre-order in, and managed to get my console on day one with a copy of Twilight Princess. Paul loved it, and although Paul didn't realise at the time the significance of it, so did my wife.
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 think that had I kept my Wii, I would still be waiting for a new game that would make it worth blowing the dust from it."
Have you not heard of a couple of games called Xenoblade Chronicles or The Last Story?
I liked the "Wash Me" photo in the article, ha.
I love my Wii. It has some of the best games i played this gen. IGN released the top 25 Wii games they have played. People should really take a look at that list because it has some of the finest games released in recent years. I have a PS3 and XBOX 360(Halo and Forza) for the fact that one console is not enough, you will always be missing out if you stick to one console.
I kept my Wii for as long as I did specifically for the Mario's, metroid and skyward sword. The Mario's kept the dream alive for me but Metroid and even Zelda let me down and this is coming from someone who grew up with those series since the originals hit the NES and loved them. I sold the Wii before even finishing Zelda.
I'm now a former longtime Nintendo fan simply because of the Wii. I really think it's rooted in my hate for the wiimote n nunchuks if that helps anyone understand.
I'd love to see Nintendo make a comeback for hardcore gamers but after seeing what we have seen with the WiiU I can't help but doubt it.
But yes ZombiiU looks fun.
Loved NES, Super NES, N64, and Gamecube.
