Nintendo has released a new video for Nintendo Network and it's something that they should do more often since we don't have a lot of information on the network.
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.
It's going o be hard to hold off on WiiU. But I must... That orange, man!
Love the reference at the end to Iwata and his bananas.
It sad they're just now releasing this. Also they did not mention any plans about expanding this to the 3ds. Is that idea still even alive. I just don't get it. Sony is adding new features to the vita as you saw with the 2.00 update like wirelessly transfer files between the vita and pc, email app, psplus and more. Meanwhile 3ds is just the same. No achievement system and no word of Nintendo id appearing on that system. I'm just so annoyed that people will rather support this instead of supporting a company that actually deserves it. I just don't get it.
Some pretty sweet stuff. I can't wait to get one!
This video was great and it's good to see that the folks at Nintendo has a sense of humor. The more I see of the WiiU, the more I like the features. If Nintendo can just secure third party games than the WiiU will be incredibly successful. I won't be buying a WiiU at launch, but I will pick up a WiiU very soon.
