The Wii U is having a really rough time. Is it time for Nintendo to switch to just making software and bow out of the console war they aren't really a part of anyway? Den of Geek's Daniel Hill discusses.
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.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "The Nintendo Partner Spotlight sale event has discounted a number of worthy titles on the Switch. Here are 6 of them you should check out."
... and it would start with the Mario-theme song....
... then after some amazing Mario Footage, someone would walk on stage and say: Next-gen Nintendo games, coming exclusively to PS4!
It would be game, set and match for Nintendo and Sony, and game over for Microsoft. Like, COMPLETELY.
It won't happen ofcourse, unless Nintendo is in worse shape than we think, but it COULD be a very nice partnership for everyone involved.
Considering the past between Sony and Nintendo, it will never happen.
nah.
If i buy Need for Speed on the wiiU and i am able to with just one game disc, play multi-player, one person on the t.v. and another on the wiiU gamePad, with just one game disk, without the cumbersome spLit-screen, then nintendo, if you can read me, keep making them consoLes!
Same question, same answer; no. No real reason for it. Nintendo profits off of consoles, even when they don't sell record numbers.
With how much the 3DS is selling right now
AND with how much the Wii sold last Gen...
Isn't it too early for all this?
(And to be honest the WiiU is ahead of where PS3 was at launch same time- But now PS3 is doing fine).
