SuperPhillip Central writes, "I don't know about you, but I have grown tired of hearing and reading about everything that is wrong with the Wii U or how the console needs "saving" after only being out for two months. Perhaps I have more than half a brain, and that is why I find such statements as silly (read: stupid) and obnoxious. It's the start of a new console, and if you have any kind of long term memory, then you know that problems usually occur. It's the chance you take being a buyer of a new console at launch.
Rather than go on about what still needs tinkering with when it concerns Nintendo's new, young console (seriously, you've probably read enough negativity in this industry to last you until next generation), I would like to talk about the stuff that makes me satisfied with the Big N's direction with the Wii U."
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.
Cool!
Wait, am I dreaming again?
I hope so I miss the Army of Kiera Knightley. :(
To troll the Wii u, but up to now there is nothing making me want to go out and buy one.
let's see how many people who don't own or want wii uwill cry about it on this positive story that has nothing to do with any other game system or company.
let the trolling begin.
Dont you love how mad fan-boys and girls TRY to attack Nintendos recent Direct conference like the announcements made were supposed to be E3 status ? . . . hee heee
Just thinking of what Nintendo said they would expose at this years 2013 E3, makes me feel freaking SPECIAL!
this time around, this years E3 will be one of the most significant E3 shows in the history of man kind . .. < ... . . . fact
Good read. I am really enjoying my Wiiu at the moment and its keeping me off my 360 and ps3 at the moment and I got forza horizon, halo 4, fifa 13 Ps allstars just before Christmas but I can't stop picking up the Wiiu controller. I have Mario U, sonic all stars, zombie U, cod bo2, Tekken and Nintendo land for the console and I'm enjoying them all.
I could not get into the Wii or even the ds but with the Wiiu and 3ds it seems like Nintendo is back to its snes and n64 days where it has the right mix of games that I want for the console.
