Retailers are slashing Wii U prices left and right, showing a pessimistic outlook about the console's future.
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.
Because it's not selling well thats why. I expect this to force Nintendo to ultimately drop the price of the Wii U, which is not necessarily a bad thing. ;)
Because is NOT selling?? Seriously what kind of question is this? And the worst thing is that it got approved. Even my lil bro could answer this.
Its not leaving shelfs so its getting its price slashed, the end.
I hope the Wii U does well once the next generation of consoles are released.
Here's hoping the Wii u gets more quality exclusives than the Wii did.
EVerybody now"OH MY GOD WII U SUCKS..WHAT AN AWFUL IDEA....NINTENDO SHOULD DIE"
Everybody this year after E3 when Smash Bros U, Mario 3D U, Mario Kart U and Zelda U are announced: " OH MY GOD I KNEW NINTENDO COULD PULL IT AROUND...WHAT AN EPIC SYSTEM..I NEVER DOUBTED THEM..I'MMA BUY 8 WII U's AND POKEMON RUMBLE RIGHT NOW!!"
Seriously you don't think Nintendo knows what they have had to do for a while now??? So Wii U falters a little bit and everyone pounces to bite the jugular for a console that's been out for 4 months. It has crap now. That's why it isn't selling. People also aren't TGAT impressed with 2-D side scrollers like Yoshi Yarn(btw the STUPIDEST waste for a Yoshi game..I'm sorry) and HD remakes like WInd Waker. ALso add in 3rd party support hasn't been the greatest with ZOmbi U gaining moderately weak scores and Rayman Legends becoming multiplatform and delayed into Fall. Lego City did alright but let's be honest how many people are going to buy a brand new console for it.
Pikmin 3 looks legit but again that won't save the system like the Mario/Smash/Zelda trifecta of games will. And you all know they're gonna sell a crapload regardless of what you say now. I don't have a Wii U but I'm so sick of the hate it's getting so soon into it's release
