Could the Wii U actually beat the PS4 and Xbox 720? We here at GammaSquad think it could...
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.
this is sad for Nintendo
The only reason might be because it is the first next gen out the gate. Xbox was out first and it is the said to be the console to have of this current generation. I know I'm going to get some troll accusations on that statement, because this is mainly a PlayStation site most of the time. Sup haters.
well the Wii won last generation so i imagine they will win again now that they are releasing 1 year ahead of the comp
If winning is selling the most consoles but yet get the biggest pile of shovelware again like the Wii got, then maybe WiiUpgrade will.
I don't play console sales though, but good games. And those are on the PS3 and 360. Outside the known stuff like Mario and Zelda etc ofcourse.
Oh and WiiUpgrade is just upgrading to current gen, its not next gen. Next gen starts in 2013/2014 with Xbox 8 and PSOrbis
EDIT
@ Pills below
Thats what I said, Mario, Zelda are great and all but thats about it. And, its decades old titles, not much new refreshing IP's. It becomes a bit boring....
Here we go again, history repeating itself. Nintendo comes out with something genuine and innovative and everybody dismisses it and claims its nintendos death. See a pattern here? Nintendo does its own thing, dare I say it it may even be in its own league. Kids and families will always flock to Nintendo and so will those that grew up with them and know the high quality of game they bring. People talk about how everyone holds onto nintendos past and this is a new market, Nintendo rrealizes that. It will always keep pumping out quality 1st party games that you cannot get anywhere else. Long live play.
