In the midst of the recently announced Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Smart When Shouting examines the major faults most of Nintendo's modern video game remakes have.
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.
They should add online for co-op play. Maybe this port is just a means to help fund the Retro Studios Wii U title(s).
I disagree, The Windwaker was never in widescreen and has a unique art style. That should be remade for Wii U. It looks awesome.
DKC Returns was an amazing game hampered by some waggle controls. I beat the game on Wii but I look forward to downloading this on my 3DS for the better control options.
I was very excited for DKCR on the Wii since DKC is my favorite platformer series on the SNES but was very disappointed instead. It might have been a good game for those who play through it all but it did not have the DKC charm from back in the day.
I had the original version on Wii, but I gave it to a GameStop-like store for a reason I don't know (this game was awesome). I was planning on buying a new copy, but then this was announced Do we know for sure that this 3DS version is just like the original? I already know about the downscaled graphics and the different contorls, but are there any other differences. Is the game shorter? Did they get rid of Cranky's shop or anything like that?
I'm looking forward to it, its a great game and it translates perfectly into 3d
