MediaStinger: "Nintendo had a pre-taped broadcast right before E3 started to make sure that absolutely nothing could go wrong. And in a sign of true desperation, Nintendo will be only having a few third-party exclusives like Bayonetta 2 and is once again rehashing all of their most popular franchises to try to keep the dying console alive… for now."
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.
I think the Nintendo fans are pretty happy with what they showed, personally I was hoping for that big surprise title but that didn't happen. I really wish Nintendo would go grab a ton of Indies and also go find some Indie studios to work on existing Nintendo ips or even create a new ip.
i wanted to see metroid, butt what they showed i liked after watching a few trailers im excited now ,could of been better butt ill take what i can get : ) stuff looks good tho
They are trying to sell systems right now, DKR sold way more than Metroid, and Mario 3D land is what picked up the 3DS, so their lineup actually makes sense.
I didn't find them disappointing at all and if you go to nintendo fansites you'll see a lot of people didn't As well. Why should they waste all that money on a huge conference? They kept it focused on what the gamers wanted-games! And they made us, the fans, the focus and not the industry. I was bored watching e3 on spike and was looking forward to watching dodgeball. As for my wii u, I'm not disappointed at all. I have nsmbu, lego city undercover, mass effect 3, black ops2, trine:directors cut, nano assault neo, spider-man, need for speed most wanted, zombiu, and super metroid to tie me over till The wonderful 101, pikmin 3, rayman legends, splinter cell, cod ghost, mario world 3d and watchdog will tie me over till bayonetta 2, monolith soft's x, mario kart 8, donkey kong country and smash bros. And so on.
The wonderful 101, bayonetta 2 and x are mind blowing gorgeous.
I think the only people disappointed are the haters.
I am a diehard Nintendo fan and I was happy! Could it have been better? Of course. But Mario Kart 8 is the 8th Wonder for me. :)
