Pre-E3 event to take place on Nintendo’s booth, featuring Shigeru Miyamoto and Reggie Fils-Aime.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
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.
well thats something i suppose. Buisness wise it was a good choice but for consumers like me who are waiting for a reason to get the wii u who cant go to a hands on thing I am dissapointed.
The Event on Tuesday (when they normally have a Pres Conference)
They will allow Select Press Unfettered access to their games.
Too many times in the past I have seen E3 Hands -On or E3 Reporting Articles that begin with or contain the following phrases:
-"I did not have much time with the Game but it..."
-"The Line to the Nintendo Booth was long, so I..."
-"I had so many things I had to cover and the Nintendo Booth was packed so I.."
-"I did not get to play that game because the line was..."
-"At first the demos were longer but Nintendo decided to limit them to 10 minutes because of..."
NOW,
This way, people in the press will get more hands on time.
Tuesday is the Day before the E3 floor opens- the press won't have anything to do but play Nintendo games.
They should do these all over the place... Like they did with the wii. Nintendo needs to get people informed about the wii u... Almost every one I talk to about it... Doesn't even know of its exsitance
Well, that hopefully clenches it for everyone. Nintendo will in fact be at E3. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Hopefully for the Wii U's awareness and therefor success, these smaller scale presentations can still be impactful.
Hey guys and gals,
Pay attention NINTENDO IS RE-INVENTING E3. With such close hand on impressions editors will get a chance to play Nintendo's games w/o waiting on LONG lines and barely get a feel of anything. MATCHED with NINTENDO DIRECTS that will be everywhere like E3 videos are... ON THE WHATEVER WEB SITES and MAYBE get some DEMOS as well! This move is kinda GENUS.
To all you NAY sayers out there, when Sony and MS does the exact same thing next year PLEASE "act" like you don't like it...
