Things have finally become a bit more clear as to what Nintendo's upcoming software line-up will look like. Today the company has issued release date information on it's upcoming titles in the first quarter.
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.
The Wii U list is not accurate. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Feb21st.... http://n4g.com/news/1156688...
There are others too, but I don't feel like looking for the links.
I didn't post the entire list. At least half of it are titles most gamers don't care about. In the article it was never stated this was the entire list, just games worth mentioning. I do agree Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate was an omission. I've included it now. Thanks for the heads up.
I have sad news for Wii U owners regarding Aliens Colonials Marines. It is being ported by an outside source Demiurge Studios. Gearbox isn't even developing it so you can most likely say goodbye to all those visual improvements that Randy Pitchford was so excited to talk about. It will probably end up a sloppy port with a worse framerate and zero visual improvements, also I predict that it won't be out until late March at the earliest.
I'm not trolling I'm just trying to inform the N4G community and I sincerely hope that Demiurge Studios does a great job and it ends up being the best version, I just have my doubts.
too many 3DS games in march
I'm interested in a lot of games, but the Wii U list is not anything that will sell consoles imo. I'd love to be wrong, though.
I'm wanting:
Rayman Legends (the demo was awesome)
LEGO City Undercover
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Wii U version)
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates of Infinity
Castlevania: LoS - MoF
