"Nintendo's latest console may not be for everyone, but for a niche consumer -- myself -- it nails the gaming experience. Off-tv play, accessibility, and being kid-friendly are making the console a go-to choice for my gaming needs."

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 wouldn't quite call it the perfect system for me. The offerings of the rest are shallow in comparison.
Nintendo is doing a great job.
Look, in spite of it all, nobody wants Nintendo to fail...but you have to admit the management team for Wii U seem to have their collective heads stuck up their jacksies.

> You're in denial Sunshine, there's an app for that :/
You clearly don't like playing games then.
Perfect for you? then you play it... i´ve better consoles to play with
The Wiiu is a great console but it is just lacking the exclusive games and big named ones it need for propel to buy it.
For my Wiiu I have mariou, zombieu, Lego city, cod bo2, Tekken tag 2, Nintendo land and sonic all star racers 2. Now all of theses games are fun games to play depending on the mood im in but the 3rd party games I have are not games that would make gamers go out and buy a Wiiu because they can get it on a console they own so why would anyone go out and spend £300 to play the same game on there current console.
Once e3 is over and we see what Nintendo have to offer we will see what shape they are going into the latter half of the year in. If the announce Mario kart, super smash bros, fzero, Zelda or Metroid these type of games will start to move more consoles.
The ps4 and next Xbox will be in the same boat as the Wiiu when they come out if they only have 3 exclusives and then loads of games that are on there current consoles as well.
