With the next generation Playstation and Xbox on the horizon. It seems as though Nintendo is just going to sit out on this next-gen battle. But is it really over when it comes to the Wii U being relevant this generation?
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.
Release more games that people want. Duh. Pikmin and Zelda Wind Waker HD spiked sales a little. The price cut also helped. Now combine all that with Smash Bros. or Mario Kart. If the Wii U isn't selling better by next year, then it'll probably be another Gamecube at the worst.
Games.
There's an idea, market The U to the very crowd who hates it(that'll work).. I'm sick of people wanting the big N to cater to the "core" crowd, let's stop the madness and make your main fan base(the core Nintendo fan) happy, with games like Mario 3d world looking more and more awesome I think they are headed in the right direction..
Ok, I watched the whole video and again, I am stunned by the fact, that people really are not able to see its use.
I understand, that you do not need it for every game, for many games, it is simply for off tv play, sure, but we just have to wait for games like X. X looks like an MMORPG and for such games, it is perfect. Every RPG game, which is actually more complex and has a lot of different Items, like Skyrim, Oblivion, Diablo, maybe a DOTA. For these games, the Gamepad just adds so much more and everyone denying that, just doesnt want to see it or simply hates Nintendo, because of this stupid console war taking sides letting their life be consumed, by which console you have and play, but not the playing counts, it counts, what you can speak on boards... Gamepad is way more not a gimmick, than lets say Kinect.
I propose Wii U Free Edition. There are a few games that interest me, but the console itself isn't worth such a price tag. That's what Ps4 is for.
