Sure, Nintendo aims its consoles at kids as well as dedicated gamers, so an emphasis on local play is to be expected. But with Nintendo Land, the flagship multiplayer title for Wii U, completely leaving out online play, Nintendo is sending a message that what they think is important in terms of online connectivity isn’t in touch with what gamers want.
Nintendo will be shutting down the eShop for the 3DS and Wii U completely in 2023. Makes sure to check out these games before they do.
If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.
Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.
This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!
Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.
Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?
There has been.
A lot of it.
Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.
Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.
I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?
N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.
Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.
If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.
It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.
You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.
This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Xbox Snap, Game Boy Micro… we miss them all.
The Wii U had a bunch of great games that a lot of people didn't get a chance to play, so here are the Wii U ports gamers would like to see come to Switch.
I just replayed Super Mario 3D world and loved every minute of it. I really like how it looks and it is great fun to play, it surely has to be a strong candidate for a Switch remaster although, personally, I would love a Galaxy 1&2 remaster more than anything else
While it's disappointing, we're talking about a bunch of tech demos. In all honesty, I'd rather they devote that sort of manpower toward online modes for games more deserving of it, like New Super Mario Bros. U or the later to come Smash Bros. title.
Personally, I think it's an insult to call the Nintendo Land attractions "tech demos." Heck, I think it's an insult to call them mini-games - just like it would have been an insult to call the arcade games ported to NES tech demos or mini-games.
i really dont think many games will use online just like the wii.. sure itl be there but i doubt u can talk in many of them if its even available.. This crap is exactly what i expected.. Tekken tags online isnt like the others, mario bros u isnt online, zombie u isnt online.. im cool on this anyway.. This is a compilation of tech demos for assymetric game & gamepad gimmicks w a $60 price tag.. get real, theres no excuse for something like this not to have it.. this game is a bunch of phone games crammed together in nintendo themes w new ways of playing em..get ur act together nintendo.. its 2012 already
Wait what? Not thapt I would have ever buy this game but no multiplayer? So those F-Zero and Metroid minigames don't have online? Weird
