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.
Totally agree with this because a lot of moms have no idea what a Wii U is(changing the name too Nintendo U is perfect).
Really? Again an article like this one? Of course someone is going to tell me, how this article is different, than all the others, like on all the other articles^^ But at the end of the day, they are all the same, the opinion of a gamer, who probably doesnt even own a Wii U or ever really used it without prejudices.
I can only say this again, what Nintendo needs first, is good advertising and that all of these articles stop comming, because they are a instant turnoff for everyone, who might be interessted...
Yeah, I agree with article.
WiiU was a stupid name from Day 1.
Marketing has been terrible (in the UK)
The second screen just seems like Nintendo grasping at ideas in the hope they can disrupt the industry in the same way the Wiimote did
3rd Party Support has yet again been terrible, but what compounds it this time is that it has taken so long for Nintendo to get a really good 1st party library out there.
I'm sad to say that the 1st party titles are starting to feel tired. I was eager to see what they would do with Pikmin... But it disappointed. The new Mario games just feel a bit uninspired. The thing I always loved about Nintendo, is that it had different games. I didn't care for ports of Metal Gear or other mainstream stuff - I have Sony / MS for those games. Give me fun and innovation Nintendo!
a miracle
Give into EA. Problem solved.
