The New Super Mario Bros. series, despite whatever you may say about creativity, sells well. So well, in fact, that Nintendo may resort to releasing two in the span of one year. Scores for the New Super Mario Bros. series, however, tend to be a little bit more average than the games’ huge numbers might lead on. Sure, the games are fun and traditional, but in the wake of expansive and clever games like Super Mario Galaxy, they’re not particularly impressive.
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 enjoy both 2d as well as the 3d mario games. i grew up on 2d platformers and shmups and side scrolling action adventure as well as rpg.
Most younger gamers (1995 to current) dont know much about the fun of the golden age of gaming. they know only of the PS1 and up which was more about shifting from 2d side scrollers to more isometric and 3d styles.
i dont have any problem with either but those who only know the current stuff love to talk trash about what we old timers considered fun with games like the original SMB or sonic or even going back further with games like combat or pitfall on the 2600.
i would gladly appreciate a mario galaxy 3 if nintendo was to release one just as much as a mario bro-u 2. both styles have their own way to provide fun for the player.
mario u director prefers 2d games not cause they sell better, which they probably dont, but because their lazy to make 3d games, nintendo in general has been super lazy, i haven't heard of any decent games lined up or anything, ! embarassing really.
I love 2D Mario of course but I would love a successor to Mario 64. Another Mario game in that type of world would be amazing. I know Galaxy has some worlds that can relate to that game but I am talking about a hole new Mario game that is just like Mario 64. I really hope with the launch of the Wii U we can see something like what we saw with Mario 64 I think that could use the tablet in amazing ways.
SHort answer...people are IDIOTS
maybe because their not a choir.
