Gioteck discuss what Nintendo need to do to up their game and become successful again.
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.
"become successful again"?!
Uh...aren't they successful now?
People are always in a hurry to write off a company the second they hit a bump in the road.
Foolish mortals.
"They have had to announce a loss for the first time and continually revise down both hardware and software sales."
only the first time? wave the white flag. smh I have a question, if company A sells a product to every human being in the world and then the quarter after their sales fall to 0 that means what? they have 8 billion of their products out on the market what more can they do sell the same thing twice?
on topic...
sony is selling assets, releasing a non profitable system again and all that jazz. they are up to their neck in debt, rating dropped to junk status.
meanwhile Nintendo sells 3 million units in under 50 days... and the 3DS is killing it and no heavy hitting games have released yet for the wiiu.
yea I dont know which one looks like doom. yea its nintendo man they are doomed and they have to fix it now.
smh please, Retro studios is about to take names. E3 will talk for nintendo.
I agree with all of these reasons except one. While it would be amazing if Nintendo lowered the price of the Wii U i for one don't think it would be a good idea since they are already losing money on each console sold. But Nintendo need to advertise heavily and get more 1st party games out. The latter of which will probably not happen til e3.
I just bought one yesterday and I like it. A break away from the traditional gaming onmy ps3 and xbox . Hell, I did what I thought my vita was gonna let me do when I got it, I played real black ops 2 upstairs in my bed on the wii u gamepad!
It's a fun machine. I think the advertising and marketing will come when they release some new games. Why market it when the available games are low? It would be a waste.
