Adam writes, "It’s truly amazing what Nintendo has just pulled off. In 35 minutes, they have finally convinced the world that they have a game plan for Wii U and announced eight new games as well as gave updates on previously announced titles."
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
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.
Good.
I am very interested in a bunch of the games on this list
Smash Bros
New Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
JRPG by Monolith Soft
Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem
3D Mario
just for starters
mmm , Finaly convinced the world ? I will just say who ever was doubting Wiiu was Stupid and haven't learnt their lesson by now. Not to mention the wiiu is on 3M and they expect to sell 5M by the end of march, fail ? no lol.
I kept using the Lackluster 3DS launch as an example and where it is now. Same thing will happen to wiiu but with better games.
Nintendo DOES NOT need to sell 100M consoles to be successfull. They could sell 50M and be very happy as long as the installed base buys a lot of software and they are making a decent amount of money of Consoles sold and software sold.
With wiiu Nintendo Looks like it's gone back to its roots a bit more. Almost like the Wii was an experiment ( a fantastic one) and Now with Wiiu they aim to try and bring back the core gamer.
Wii stands for a group of gamers , U stands for you the core gamer.
I think we all knew that when Nintendo would be ready to talk about their own stuff they wouldn't hold back.
Nintendo is gonna hit E3 hard. Sony and Microsoft better show off their consoles and what they can do. So far tho at least Nintendos E3 looks like it could be their best in YEARS.
