Gengame: "We may not know much about Wii U’s online capabilities, but thanks to an HTML5 benchmark test performed on the Wii U’s brand-spanking-new web browser, we’ve got at least one piece of reassurance under our belts: as far as handling the dominant coding language of the Internet, Wii U is actually better than any game console ever released – and even better than Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 10."
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.
IDK, IE10 is now just as good as Chrome or Firefox.
And being the best at HTML5 means crap since most websites still hasn't been upgraded to it, websites are still using Flash and the Wii U doesn't supports it! So you would not be able to see most videos on the internet. (and no porn on the Wii U either unless you can find a porn site in HTML5)
It's close to IE10 but it does not beat it. Think IE is 230 on the chart and Wii U browser is like 223. very very close but then again IE supports more than just HTML5
But not better than Android browsers, that's for sure.
not bad for a console browser though. I mean we are comparing the browser capabilities to a desktop computer which is dedicated for things like surfing the net.
I wonder how mobile devices compare to the Wii U's broswer. Do the mobile versions of apple and android devices use the full featured Safari and Chrome? Or are they simplified down for the phones?
Steam's big picture mode has the best tv browser period.
