Steve Conger writes, "If it isn’t blatantly obvious already, Nintendo seems to be prepared to hit the ground running with the “core” gaming audience when it’s new piece of kit lands later this Fall. It’s no secret that the Wii, for all intents and purposes, was a glorified gimmick for all but those who took the time to see through that facade. So, with the Wii U carrying on the moniker(and perhaps stigma, for that matter) of the previous generation, how does the big “N” go about drawing gaming enthusiasts back into the fold? Software. EXCLUSIVE software."
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.
From the cosmos to crash-landing back on good old planet Earth, come read through the best sci-fi-nastically games on the PS3
Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.
Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.
Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.
Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything
It seems that Platinum Games has made many a AAA exclusive offering within the Nintendo umbrella of console gaming. With the likes of Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101 and previous exclusive offerings on the Nintendo Wii entertainment system. It would not surprise me one bit if Nintendo was already in negotiations of some kind with Platinum Games.
It has gone on record that someone within Platinum Games (dont remember name) has already shown interest to work with Nintendo in developing the next iteration of the Starfox franchise. First they make multiple exclusive offerings for the Nintendo fanbase, now they show interest in Nintendo 1st party exclusive offerings. It is looking very much some type of collaboration could come to reality in the near future.
After the much anticipated release of Nintendo Wii U entertainment system AAA exclusive Bayonetta 2. I hope that Nintendo shines its innovative light toward the under appreciated Vanquish IP as well. Vanquish 2 co developed with Nintendo would be a very tasty treat.
Nintendo has been showing great interest in satisfying the hardcore gamer next generation just as much as the casual supporters. A merge with AAA software giant Platinum Games could be an Ace in the hole as far as winning business strategy is concerned. And would provide an earth shattering MEGATON announcement at one of the many gaming conferences throughout the year. I am going to keep my lucky Super Mario hat around in hopes that a deal like this is etched into stone.
Rated E For Everyone
it's possible.
Ah sooky sooky now..lol.
If haters outrage just for one game, imagine what they will do if Nintendo buys platinum games.
Haters will outrage IN CAPITAL LETTERS.
its only a matter of time, with how the supported the wii and now with this first party treatment Nintendo is giving to them. seems like they respect each other.
