Call of Duty: Ghosts, Battlefield 4 and the latest Madden all have two things in common. The first being that they will all be in millions of homes by the end of the year, each comfortably shifting enough copies to make the grinning money men of both Activision and EA tilt back in their chair, smoke a cigar and have a small toast to congratulate a fantastic marketing campaign.
The second is that none of them are coming to Wii U.
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.
Yeah if they wan't to get their casuals back (due to the high amount of consoles it sold Nintendo with their first Wii), they need to offer more of the kinds of games that drew casuals in in the first place. But they also have to keep in mind the core too, since the casual market is kind of finicky and unreliable at times (they come and go at a whim, and casuals are not known for showing loyalty like core gamer's do).
Ours just gathers dust. Aside from Mario, nothing has really been that interesting and even Mario got old fast.
Call of Duty: Ghosts is almost certainly coming to Wii U.
Activision never said Call of Duty Ghosts wasn't coming to Wii U.
ditching E3 wasn't a good move in order to find a place in peoples livingrooms with new more powerful consoles coming.
