We're five months into the Nintendo Wii U launch, but success is nowhere to be found. Why is that? Pixel Enemy's Williams Pelegrin attempts to figure out where the system's success has gone.
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.
i want to print this article out just to wipe my ass with it.
This guy missed the worst thing about Nintendo.
Nintendo is going out and kidnapping Families off the street and Forcing them to play WiiU! :O
/Sarcasm
I guess their is a valid point to be made with most of the things written. The advertisement is close to what WiiU always needed (except I think they should focus on the features too).
As far as the games go-
E3 should reveal
ALL or NOTHING...
Kind of Joking with all or nothing.
IMO Zelda, and SMT X Fire Emblem, RETRO, and Monolith Soft is a plenty of "ALL".
But I am sure others want more.

I could imagine Reggie behind the scenes, fully dressed in a Tingle Suit, threatening them to "Say something nice, or I'll kick your ass"...
I love my wiiu. Just can't wait for the new smash bros., 3d Mario, Mario party u, Mario kart, and hopefully new wave race, pilot wings and donkey kong installments soon too. My ps4 will take care of my 3rd party needs, but my wiiu can only give me Nintendo games.
