SuperPhillip Central writes, "It's no secret that the general belief regarding Nintendo home consoles is that you only buy them for Nintendo games, and third party titles are generally ignored. That's the price you pay when you're Nintendo, one of the best game publishers in industry history. However, not all of the Nintendo fan base ignores third party games, and for those that do, I surmise that there is a believable reason as to why they do. Note that I don't necessarily agree or disagree with the rationale some fans use towards their animosity towards third parties. I'm simply trying to get a better understanding of their mindset and explain that."
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
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.
I have to agree with the guy in some ways.
In any other industry,
if you consistently bought a product that disappointed- Kitchen Aids, Car Parts, Insurance, Audio Systems, Fast Food, Medical Supplies... Why would you try their other products?
-Especially at full price?
(Dead Space on rails is just like Dead Space right?)
Another truth or side-effect caused by the trends laid-out in this article,
Is that people may avoid buying a game/a developer on a Nintendo System because of these practices-
-Some owed a Wii and a PS360 combo.
They used the Wii for Nintendo 1st Party titles and played the AAA title on PS360.
I keep saying Nintendo needs a competent 1st Party game in every genre that can compete in Fun and Art, if not Graphics, with everything in its class from the other systems.
This way they will grow the market for these games and it will help sustain them in the game droughts.
Third party developers ignore Nintendo consoles /thread.
for me it's because third parties don't have much variety namco makes tales and tekken barring games cannot stand(ridge racer and pacman) i have no reason to buy anything from namco besides those two series and in case you noticed tales and tekken aren't exactly being given 2 or 3 games per system on nintendo systems.
it's the same with other third parties they make 1 or two series i actually give a damn about and they refuse to put more then one game in those series on a nintendo system.
the recent one exception was sega last gen they gave us three sonic games,nights 2,and mad world. but that doesn't make for:there were no numbered ff on wii and the spinoffs wii got were subpar,xenoblade was the only wii game by xseed,atlus didn't s*** for wii,natsume put a bunch of third tier harvest moons and rune factories(read:i like those serieses but the wii installment were utter trash),and other injustices like no rockstar games on any nintendo system besides ds and gba...
For me its because I have other consoles which I would rather play 3rd party games on, for whatever reason, be it superior online or so I dont have to deal with whatever ideas they thought would be good to control with.
I own a few 3rd party exclusive on the wii/wiiu games but 0 multiplatform games on it.
Years of broken promises be it the loss of exclusives or games being canceled. Gimped versions of certain multiplatform games on Nintendo consoles don't help matters either. If you have more than one console the average gamer is going to get the better version over the gutted version any day.
