dailymail.co.uk: Nintendo has finally caught up with the rest of the world: the Wii U offers HD graphics, and games look similar to PS3 games, just in time for Sony to ditch that and bring out a new console next year.
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.
About as accurate as every other Daily Fail article... As shallow as a puddle and oblivious to the fact that the Wii U has an Internet browser: "The 6.2in screen isn’t as HD as top-end tablets, but you can watch Lovefilm and Netflix on it – although Nintendo’s ‘child-safe’ approach means there’s no ‘proper’ internet"
*facepalm*
DS proved me, that two screens are better than one already :)
It's all about taking a consumer's focus from other products. People usually use tablets or smart phones while watching TV or Playing games. So this double screen is mean't to fill that need for a tablet so your more focus in you gaming experience. In the end they want you to buy less of anyone else's products and just buy more of theirs.
Not really...is it taking away anything from games on the PS3/360....not really, it's just another way to play but the problem is people are making it out to be the next best thing when it's not.
I'd take better graphics, better A.I, better frame rate, better perfromance over something like two screens at the end of the day because in the long term thats what I'm going to benefit from as a gamer.
For casual and quirky nintendo games, the second screen can and does in several ways add to the gaming experience.
For the latest FPS game, I see it having little or no relevance. You can change it up and use the xbox-like controllers in that instance.
