Nintendo has explained why it decided not to include online multiplayer in Wii U launch title Nintendo Land.
Developers wanted to encourage players to interact in the real world, with the virtual theme park's attractions specifically designed for players sitting next to each other.
Nintendo will be shutting down the eShop for the 3DS and Wii U completely in 2023. Makes sure to check out these games before they do.
If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.
Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.
This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!
Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.
Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?
There has been.
A lot of it.
Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.
Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.
I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?
N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.
Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.
If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.
It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.
You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.
This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Xbox Snap, Game Boy Micro… we miss them all.
The Wii U had a bunch of great games that a lot of people didn't get a chance to play, so here are the Wii U ports gamers would like to see come to Switch.
I just replayed Super Mario 3D world and loved every minute of it. I really like how it looks and it is great fun to play, it surely has to be a strong candidate for a Switch remaster although, personally, I would love a Galaxy 1&2 remaster more than anything else
Still think it would've been sweet to have online multiplayer with this game and nsmbu
Bad decision in my opinion. This isn't the 90's any more. I want to play online and now that i'm older me and my friends can't get together to play much like we could when we were kids.
Very missed opportunity for me and my friends to play Mario online without 4 of us having to leave our homes and drive over to our friends so we can all play together.
They could have made an awesome 4 player arena shooter with the Metroid game alone. Let's hope this doesn't become a fad. Smash Bros and a new Mario Party better have multiplayer online.
no excuses
I think it would of been nice to have the option to play online, even though I fully intend on playing Nintendo land with the misses and the family, but when they don't want to play it would of been nice to play online.
On the other hand a lot of the coop games need communication, and I can't see that happening with the lack of a headset included with the console.
Playing online is nothing like it used to be, especially on the 360. Nobody talks any more, it's very quiet online when you're playing with randoms, kind of sucks.
I couldn't imagine playing Nintendo Land with people that aren't in the same room. Some games are just better played with other people in person. Could you imagine playing Wii Sports bowling over the Internet?
Still, if people want the option to play online who is Nintendo to say they can't?
