Forbes - While having a somewhat decent launch initially, sales of the Wii U have been slowing for a few months now with no must-have games on the horizon. Slowing by a worrying amount, actually.
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.
Yeah, its been pretty bleak, especially since rayman legends got pushed back... nothing much to look forward to on my wii u, imho... for a while, at least..
The thing is, is that I really want something to play on my wii u... new super mario u is getting old, and having a 360 and ps3, ive already played everything else the system has to offer, really...
We really need a metroid, zelda or even a new mario kart, but we all know those are a ways off.... its a shame.. really.
Sparse is a better word, I think. It reminds me of the GCN days when content was far and few inbetween, but at least there was usually something to look forward to.
Nintendo needs to get the digital content into gear, I think. If you can't get your own physical content out and if the third party stuff is not coming anytime soon, then bust out the VC and eShop games more quickly. Give current owners something to work with, maybe a digital promotion of some sort. And a way to play 3DS games on a Wii U would be nice too.
In the mean time, there's always what they plan on announcing at E3 as well as Pikmin 3's release this summer (if I'm not mistaken). Well, okay, there's possibly the Wii U version of Aliens, but that's a long shot in and of itself.
Yep I make these comments back in November and I get called a troll when in actuality all i wanted was them to be ready with some games for core gamers.
But now the shit hits the fan and suddenly it's cool to write these articles when there's absolutely nothing that Nintendo can do until the next batch of games are released.
Bunch of nonsense. I really hope they pull their heads out of their butts and start kicking it into high gear with some classic 2d metroid action, star fox, donkey kong country, platformers that aren't styled for 10 year olds. etc just make some games for "everyone". they dont have to have blood and gore or any of that but for the love of god enough with the yarn.
im really near the end of my limits here. they might have made the first system i played on but i'll be damned if im going to play games like princess sparkle pony and mario #45874849534. how hard do you have to try to give a company your money. jesus.
I feel bad for them.. Theyre getting hammered left n right on a daily basis.. It seems that their philosophies of what a video game console should be needs some serious changes.. Good thing they always have their exclusives that fans loyally buy to keep them afloat cuz theyd be dead w/o them..
Wasn't this "exact" article posted not to long ago? I certainly remember the that title with "Winter" in it.
