Nintendo finally spills all the beans, and here's what we have to say about it...
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.
Looks like Nintendo will be dominating the gaming news and world for the rest of the year. Even people that I know don't like video games are talking Wii U right now.
Its going to be HUGE! Might have to pre-order a second console to see if I can get a huge payday off of Ebay like I did with the original Wii.
The game line-up, as a whole is among the best we've ever seen for a launch console.
I'm not crazy about all of them, but I can't deny a lot of them look fun.
Give it 1-2 years and the graphics on these games will noticeably improve.
It takes time to learn how to properly use the hardware effectively EX: Halo 4 > Reach > Halo 3 in terms of graphics on the xbox 360.
^ There is a noticable difference if you compared screen shots back to back.
This is a good start for Nintendo. Wii U shop 10% discount for the $350 black bundle with nintendo land included.
People are going to hate just to hate, but there going to stop hating in late 2013 once they comprehend just what this system can do.
I can't wait for the SNES style JRPG revival that is almost perfect fit for the Wii U.
i'm excited for this console, but not before 1 or 2 years when the online will be fully operational and some Nintendo exclusives have been released and of course the price has to go down a bit as well.
Meh
Day one
