Nintendo was the first of the big three to unveil a new console, and gamers have been waiting for months to catch any glimpse of the Wii U. After a year of waiting Nintendo has finally debuted the Wii U to the world.
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.
Trolling??? Their is nothing trolling about that comment....That comment makes a boat load of sense to me. If I am picking up a WiiU which is suppose to be Nintendo's NEXT gen console then their Mario game should look like it. You cannot say with a straight face that that Mario was next gen....That video they showed us was a 2d Mario with pretty colors...Clearly not a next GEN title...I believe you might have been to quick to pull the trolling trigger.
Hey Sony`s 2006 E3 Conference
Im real happy for you an ima let you finish
but Nintendo's 2012 E3 conference was the worst conference of ALL time! Of all time!
Yet when Wii-U moves millions of units and shows to be a crucial player once again what will people say. Do you not learn about Nintendo lol.
Sony 2006
Nintendo 2008
Microsoft 2010
Now those are some fails.
Look at the Wii, it was a gimmick form the start. Under powered and lacked games and yet it sold millions. Nintendo won't change there ways because the sheep lap it up, waiting for the next generic instalment of mario and zelda. I will stick with the PS3 and 360 thanks
