Gary Swaby at Thekoalition.com writes: If you listened to our latest episode of The Co-op then you'll know Edward V and I were pretty opinionated when discussing Nintendo and the Wii U. I personally fell that while the Wii U is a great piece of hardware, it was a mistake for Nintendo to release it so late into the generation.
There are many who don't agree with this, and one of those people is our very own Jakejames Lugo. Jakejames recently purchased his own Wii U and has been enjoying the console ever since. He also has a long term understanding of Nintendo and their products.
We decided that there is no better way to settle this disagreement than by taking part in our very own debate show Versus. Let us know who you feel raised the better points on this podcast and then be sure to share your very own point of view.
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.
That Jakejames guy is a firecracker! Dayum.
You can't perfect what has already been perfected.
I gotta say its a bit of both.
1) Its misunderstood for sure given many still are unclear if its an add-on to the Wii. Their marketing and support of the WiiU has been horrible. A total 180 from the Wii days.
2) Also a mistake in my eyes in that given the timing of their launch they should have thought things through a bit. Given the WiiU more beef under the hood, a different name as well. And finally just released it spring 2013. They would still have beaten MS and Sony to the punch and with beefier internals it could be set for next gen.
As is, its a poorly supported/marketed device that will be last gen officially come this holiday.
I just think It's too early to judge the Wii U yet
