If you watched Nintendo Direct last week you'll know that there are plenty of great Wii U games to come in 2013 but the company has told fans to expect many of their favourite titles in this calendar year and beyond.
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.
It's Funny watching all the PS and XB fanboys stating the 720 and ps4 are going to magically fly off the shelves and destroy the Wiiu.
It seems most people are predicting this. I however think the Wiiu is gunna gain a lot of momentum and become unstoppable.
Round about the time Mario Kart , SMash bros launch.
And the price drops.
At this point the PS3 and 360 will be at the end of their life, and the 720 and ps4 will have just launched with Either a really high price and impressive specs , or a modrate price and Meh specs.
Both ways the Wiiu is well positioned. Do I expect it to sell 100M like the Wii ? no , but it's possible. I expect it instead of burning out quick like the wii did , to gain momentum year on year.
I'm putting my money on Wiiu to sell the most in Gen 8.
I do not plan on buying a 720, Microsoft has few first party titles that make it a MUST have. Halo, Gears of War,Forza Motor Sport may be great games, but Compared to Sony and Nintendo I don't see how Microsoft is going make it next gen. By the time 720 comes out Wii U is going to have several MUST HAVE titles, and Many more on the way. Also Sony will be beefing up its PS4 big guns. I think Nintendo is in a good place right now. I hope there are a couple more remakes. Eternal Darkness has always been a favorite of mine and I would like to see it with and HD remake, and some gameplay improvements.
Nintendo look like having a great couple of years. Plenty of games coming.
I love you Nintendo! Games for gamers!
