GameDynamo - "By now, the entire media is buzzing about Electronic Arts and their statement saying that they don't have any games planned for the Wii U. Suddenly, everyone is trying to speculate what this means for Nintendo, how the struggling console plans to make up for this loss of support, and what plans are set for the future. My question is: Who the hell cares?"
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.
wow finally an article that speaks sense.
Easy the WiiU is a joke, EA isnt the only one that feels this way.
N64 - Cartridge, stupid move, many didnt support them.
GameCube - better but lacked hardcore games (RE make one of the few and Eternal Darkness)
Wii - FAD but neat
WiiU - a joke
So really only the GameCube was a real contender to have some new games attempted.
End of story.
EA are still butt hurt and think that stopping support will damage Nintendo. LOL are they in for a shocker or what.
Start with Nintendo hold 3rd parties by the balls in the 90's to EA monetary problem to begging Nintendo to use Origin instead of their own eShop.
As far as I am concerned Nintendo Sega,Capcom, Ubisoft,Indie Developers, will create some great games for they system. It kind of sucks that EA dumped Nintendo, but no blood loss. You know what though? I am really getting sick and tired of Nintendo hater trolls going to Wii U articles, and that includes good, positive ones too. Spewing hate and saying the most ignorant things. I do not at all care for Microsoft,but I have only made one comment that was negative(it was not even that bad) and had my freaking head ripped off.
