Nintendo has made some big announcements during their Nintendo Direct broadcast, but Andrew Whipple III isn’t so convinced that the company is moving in the right direction.
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 like that this author cited both negatives and positives and actually took an objective look at the matter. I do think the cynicism was unnecessary considering that people told Nintendo to bring on some core experiences and they managed to announce six in a single Nintendo Direct conference. Hopefully E3 (as well as further conferences) will take this approach even further.
This year E3 gonna be very important for Nintendo especially when you got MS & Sony introducing they new Console, even though Nintendo got a lot of New exclusives coming out that still ain't enough for the Wii U to succeed they still need 3rd party games like GTA 5 and Tomb Raider.
i think its a waste of time if nintendo was trying to convince haters or non-gamers.....but nintendo direct did appeal to gamers.
Nothing against Nintendo but I really hate Reggie's face, like literally loath looking at it. Makes me cringe.
Those eyes just have no depth to me, snake eyes.
The only people who didn't like that Nintendo direct are people who didn't like Nintendo before it. You can't convince a biased person.
There is nothing you can do for them. They will push hatred forward no matter what.
Their opinions are irrelevant because they aren't open minded opinions. They want the worst to happen and will spin everything negatively. Taking what they say as a valid point achieves nothing except making their ill conceived points look valid. That just fuels more trolling.
Let them hate. I'll be enjoying my games and so will ever other "real" gamer.
