TQ author writes: During a recent E3 Nintendo meeting/interview, Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America mentioned that he isn’t worried about the PS4 or Xbox One, he has seen this same situation in the past with the Wii Vs. the Xbox 360 and PS3, and ultimately Nintendo came out on top. Reggie believes that 3 titles will put the Wii U in a great spot this holiday season.
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.
Super Mario 3D looks cool, DK Country maybe a rental, Zelda HD remake looks nice, but Gamecube, bra.
Mario dk Zelda same old for 25 years sweet when was nintendos last blockbuster IP ? two decades ago.....
Im looking forward to all 3 of those games. I think those 3 will surely be able to shift consoles. Nintendo just needs to be more on the ball with their marketing. Maybe have a longer partnership with gamestop and other alike retailers in other countries to get the games in the hands of the consumers. Im supporting Nintendo by getting a Wii U.
I'm now looking forward to Dk, still on debating Mario 3d....
Zelda LOOKS awesome and its a must buy because I never bought wind waker... But what about Pikmin 3 and W101 Those ARE MUST OWN TITLES in my book!
i think i give up on Nintendo. their first HD console, and one of their main titles is a 2d sidescroller smh.
