Before the E3 show floor opens, Reggie Fils-Aime and Shigeru Miyamoto will host a presentation to the media prior to E3.
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.
Did you read this article?
True or False? Nintendo will be at E3.
True or False? Nintendo said, "The reason we aren't doing an E3 Presentation is because we have given-up all hope of making money in consoles. We just look at Sony and Microsoft and think, 'All these long 25 Years of making games and consoles we have had no clue on what we were doing.' We are afraid."
True or False? Reggie Fils-Aime was quoted as saying, " I use to struggle with the existence of a god- that is until I saw the specs of the PS4 and I realized that the supernatural was real- that God is real and His home is a PS4!"
Anyway- It all sounds like it could work. True or False? Only time will tell...
This is exciting roll on E3!
Smart decision by Nintendo. Some people were confused and thought that Nintendo dropped out of E3 entirely. Others knew that Nintendo would still be there, but in a smaller way. But this announcement gives light to the fact that they are still gonna be there in a relatively profound way. I've burned this company (mainly Iwata) in the past, but I'm holding my tongue because everyone knows E3 has been a real game-changer when it's come to console wars. 2013 is Nintendo's big chance to show some teeth, because MS and Sony are not siting idly by.
I hope they stream it or something lol. I want everyone to at least witness the big surprises at the same time, it's like the super bowl.
Blow me away Nintendo Blow me away :)
