With Sony’s big E3 press conference finally dated, and the Xbox 720 set to be announced soon, the Daily Reaction crew of Seb and Dan take a look at the odd man out, Nintendo. Why isn’t PlayStation’s oldest enemy planning to have a big E3 event? Is there something wrong with the Wii U? Is all lost? Find out all this, and more, in today’s riveting DR. - PSLS
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.
Presentation is nin tenths of the law
I would love for Ninty to just be a dev, and make games for PlayStation and Xbox. That could end up pretty sweet.
Nintendo is #1 every week in sales. They sure fell from grace....not!
lol @ the title tho. First of all they aren't skipping E3..and neither have they fallen from their grace...The Wii U is just having a rough start just like the 3DS did and is now completly owning the hardware sales...especially handheld.....Reading the article and some comments is just comical and sad at the same time tbh
Imagine if the Wii U becomes sucessful...How many of these people will look so stupid...Just like with the 3DS And PS3. and articles like this would become a reference for comedy to show how things have changed.
