Nobody likes a yes man, and lately it seems like some of Nintendo’s most hardcore fans are falling into that category. Nintendo, in my opinion has been making some pretty odd decisions. Not revolutionary (this is going to change the world decisions), but just plain odd. And, some of the hardcore fans continue to not only support these decisions, but see them as a positive.
Weak Third Party Support: “I don’t care, I only buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games, I don’t need anything else”..
Dev Support Understaffed: “Nintendo games need to take their time to make classics”…
Archaic Online, No Achievements (Trophy), Basic Features: “Achievements are for college fratboys…I like to play alone.”
Games Locked On Console:” It’s to protect their investment.”
No E3 Conference…!:” I like Nintendo Directs…who needs E3, I don’t want another Usher concert”…
Look I like Nintendo games, but the cheerleading has to stop. As a Nintendo consumer, its baffling at some of the decisions Nintendo has been making for the WiiU. Nintendo will not improve unless fans are serious about improvements.
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.
This article is very spot on and as mentioned in the last paragraph Nintendo fans need to be more vocal about the company's missteps.
Another thing that the article didn't touch upon is how Nintendo fans just can't accept any sort of criticism towards Nintendo, without being labeled a hater or a troll. ;) Just look at Shokio's newest video for proof.
"Nintendo will not improve unless fans are serious about them improving"
Nintendo gets exaggerated, sometimes completely unnecessary hate these days.
BUT, the times where there IS a serious problem, or Nintendo does something extremely stupid, coming from a Ninty fan, I have to agree to a certain extent that Nintendo fans (or should I say extremists) defend every single decision Nintendo makes, even if it's blatantly stupid. Like this E3 conference situation for instance. I must say it's rather annoying to see such sheeple.

The only thing hurting Nintendo was Nintendo. Its the fans that keep them running and will keep them going.
All Nintendo needs to do is keep releasing great titles after great titles and the new tech is flexible enough to accommodate the trends that are on the horizon while still staying true to the Nintendo way of doing things.
The reason achievements are pointless is because they don't do anything. Also, an achievement is wasted potential if you get it for something you're gonna do anyway. Just think about it, which would be better, getting one for beating the final boss, or for beating the final boss without taking damage?
Nintendo fans supporting Nintendo's bad decisions is such a big deal. If M-soft or Sony made these decisions, their fans would say the same things.
