The Wii U is a unique experience that the gaming industry has been calling out for, according to Nintendo of America's Scott Moffitt.
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.
ummm sorry thats the other way around. You Need Us, we made you.
Gamers need miyamoto.
NEWEGG IS NOW SELLING THE WII U SYSTEM
I was 7 years old when the first NES was released with the Robot and Gyromite. From there I owned the SNES and the N64, but Nintendo could not meet the adult demands that Sony provided. After christmas of 1998, I have not played a Nintendo product. I welcome Nintendo to the HD generation of consoles, and like mentioned above, grandma, grandpa, the little kiddies, and the casual nostalgic gamer need Nintendo too. Will Nintendo sell some consoles? Sure. Will they get my dollars? No.
The major concern that I have from Nintendo is if they cared so much about the hardcore gamer why are they still using an antiquated online service? Why not include a bluray player? Lastly, why not include a regular laptop SATA Hard drive that is easily upgradeable?
Personally, I stopped caring about Nintendo when they stopped caring about me, the gamer. For example, with the N64, they kept with the cartridges to control piracy, but they limited themselves with the on board memory restrictions that it posed. Square Enix, a long time Nintendo supporter jumped to Sony and never looked back. What does that say? Same thing with Capcom. The resident Evil series were re-releases on the Gamecube for all but one game, Resident Evil Zero. Even though the Resident Evil Series left Sony during the PS2 era, Sony got a new IP in Devil may cry.
Lets hope that most of the games on the WiiU are not shovel ware like the last generation Wii. Most importantly, wow the gamers with something incredible instead of a gimmick. Thanks, in advance.
