Nintendo is slowly revealing more details about New Super Mario Bros. U, and there's good news and bad news from the latest released details on the official site.
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 thought it WAS going to be 1080p. That really sucks...
New enemies? Revolutionary...
The lack of native 1080p resolution for Nintendo Wii U entertainment system exclusive New Super Mario Bros U is unfortunate for those who care. But I personally feel that for a side scrolling title of this nature, a big deal does not need to be made over resolution. The Mario franchise has delivered top notch AAA quality gameplay experiences since the beginning of respectable gaming time. A few pixels and moderate resolution change will do nothing to hamper the success, quality or sales of this experience.
Hopefully with the spark of next generation, people learn to appreciate gaming for new experiences that it has to offer. Instead of focusing hard on minor graphical complaints that likely wont be note worthy in the first place. The type of crowd that purchases Mario titles could not care less for the difference between 720p or 1080p native or up scaled for the most part. Drop in multiplayer sounds wonderful though, something to enhance the experience.
When a title that requires a heavier push for graphics comes along, Nintendo will likely meet those demands with top quality support. A beefier titles like Zelda, or Metroid will likely push the platform further. New Super Mario Bros U will be a day one purchase for the future purchase of my very own Nintendo Wii U entertainment system.
Rated E For Everyone
I care if its 1080p, I think its stupid on Nintendo's part, but I will still play it. I don't know that I will buy it, but I will at least rent it. I have been seeing some really great things about this game just in the past 3 days that have made me more interested in it than I was before. I guess we will see in just a couple of weeks.
This game isnt graphically taxing on the system so i dont see why it couldnt be native 1080p but whatever.. I think Nintendo is still getting their feet wet with this HD revolution & their 2nd wave of titles will look awesome starting with smash bros.. That is whats going to push me to buy a wii u.. Unless Bayonetta 2 does it first..
