GenGAME writes: "Lately, there’s been talk that Nintendo is the new Sega. People have been saying that the Wii U isn’t a next-gen console. All over the internet, these claims have been spread. Sure, the Wii U may be struggling at the moment, but to jump the gun and say Nintendo is the new Sega is just ridiculous."
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.
The internet doom and gloom ( main here in N4G) don't control Nintendo's future. Nintendo controls Nintendo's future, so they should start by announcing huge games at E3 if Nintendo want to turn this Wii U situation around.
Don't forget to vote on this site. "Excellent" and "Yes" in my opinion.
Great Job by DANIEL BILLS.
I honestly could not tell you the exact details of the carnage in the 2nd Great Console Rivalry- it's good to see what is true and what has been exaggerated by modern journalist.
Yep, Nintendo, Software Only? - No time soon.
Can we just leave the Dreamcast out of this? How about that?
Great read. Too bad no one will actually read this, nor consider the facts as to why Sega went software only and Nintendo won't. At least not for the foreseeable future.
I agree with the author, Nintendo should have enough money in the bank to start a new console even if the Wii U continues to sell below expectations.
