GP writer Dominic Dimanche discusses Nintendo's different approach to announcing their newest game's at E3 2013 and whether it worked or not.
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'm a huge Nintendo fanboy but since the dawn of the next gen era I have to admit recurrent disappointment.
I still don't know what Nintendo was trying to prove by not having a presentation but whatever it was it didn't work. Nintendo better have one next year ;)
They announced Smash.
Wii U will be selling like crazy in 2014. This is the game that many people including myself have been waiting for. Now we just need a price cut to about $250-$300 to seal the deal. That way the gap between the price of Wii U and PS4 is quite large and will be the go to budget system.
I like Super Mario 3D World everything else was ok. I think Nintendo has become way to predictable.
Just to give out a little taste of how Nintendo is looking, here's what we know. Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Rayman: Legends and Wach Dogs (Ubisoft) are coming before the year end. Dues Ex: HRDC (Square Enix) is coming. Did Nintendo really need more then to show off its 1st games? I personally think that's amazing. Nintendo showed 1st party games Super Mario 3D World and Donkey Kong: TF (Nintendo). Throw in Zelda: WW HD remake (Nintendo) and there's your Christmas holiday season. For Nintendo it's Game Over, what?
