Should Nintendo Give Mario A Rest? CouchJockey D Gives his thoughts on should Nintendo Give Mario a Rest?
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.
Mario is the Core of nintendo, Heck the core of all gaming, so it can't take a rest
honestly the REAL mario games are few and far between, cannot wait for Super Mario 3D world, not that NSMB series is bad, they're great but i don't consider them REAL MARIO GAMES
Mario games usually sell like hotcakes and score high by major critics. They also rake in loads of profit to Nintendo. Unless Mario Kart 8 and other major Mario releases undersell Nintendo's expectations, Nintendo shouldn't "give it a rest."
I think people who write stories like this should give the game a rest. You are tired of it. While millions upon millions of others are not. It's hard to rest the most successful Icon in video gaming history.
Mario has a lot of mini-series. The Party, Tennis, Golf, Olympic Games, mainly. That's what makes it seem like there are an over saturation.
But to be honest, Nintendo is doing the same thing Ubi does with Assassin's Creed and that Activision does with CoD - keep the games rolling because they make money.
They're a game company. What do you expect them to do? If they didn't make money and get good ratings from all the different Mario-somethings - do you think they'd bother doing it?
Either way; the real, mainstream Mario titles come once every now-&-then. Put it this way; there have been only 5 3D Marios in the last 10 years and 6 in all. Mario Kart, which is arguably the next mainstream category of the Mario franchise, comes once a system. The "New Super Mario Bros." series; there has only been 4 entries across 4 platforms. The "Paper Mario" series, has only had 4 entries across 4 systems as well.
Not so much main-Marios, are there?
I think the gaming "media" should give Nintendo a rest.
