"The trio discusses all the benefits of the 3DS, such as its software library, but also suggests improvements to the 3DS’ online infrastructure and Virtual Console, which could help the handheld improve its standing" -- Nintendo Enthusiast.
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.
That title belongs the DS. Best Hand-Held Console.
I think by default it isn't as good as the DS simply because the key distinguishing feature became, for a lot of people and games, a negative element - so much so that they developed the 2DS. Sure, it has some great games which is what's important; I just don't see how it could beat the DS (which still has a better game library).
I'm torn between the SNES and DS. Because one is a home console and the other a handheld, I'll just call it a tie.
To me, 3DS cant be beat. Its the perfect gaming machine. And when I get nostalgic, I plunk in my Supercard and play all my DS, Snes, Ninty, Genesis, and GBA games. I cant believe all the time I would have wasted actually paying attention rather than playing my 3DS.
Depends...for my not really since i only want Fire emblem, SMT IV, and the soon to be released Bravery Default. But for others sure.
