Nintendo has just released its latest piece of console magic with the Wii U. While it’s been popular enough to have trouble staying on store shelves, there is a vitriolic group of gamers who only wants to see the Wii U burn forever in console hell. So why are these people so full of hatred? Could it perhaps be due to the fact that they don’t really understand the technology?
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.
But there is no stand out title that is forcing me to take out my wallet. Hopefully that will announce something soon.
It's not WiiU haters that should be educated. More and more webzines and so called journalists have been through years building their articles on console war, on doom articles and click oriented reviews. This has generated all those cycles where everyone copy each other, there are no more opinions, there are good or bad opinions, and that's a problem.
Gamers are just following the trend initiated by some stupid people. The result you can see it everyday in those headlines that have more impact than the content of an article.
It's time for the industry to be smart, produce more interesting articles and review, maybe it will make things go a little better for readers.
Hey, Here are links for Nintendo haters from DEVELOPERS talking about the Wii U, EDUCATE yourselves.

The list of good things about the Wii U go on and on..
My Question is if you are a "Gamer" why would you not want to have Wii U. The Graphics are not crap, and the list of exclusives is growing. The new Zelda is going to be "the biggest most detailed world" Nintendo has ever created. I can only imagine what Nintendo will do with it. Other great exclusives, ZOMBIU, People either love it or hate it. I like survival horror and I LOVE IT. Coming up also Bayonetta 2, Fatal Frame, Mario 3D platformer, Smash Bros, Sin and Punishment, Rumor Eternal Darkness2 (if you have not played Eternal Darkness its AMAZING), Metroid, Nintendo added 50 plus IPs in the last 12 years. You can not get em anywhere else. Nintendo offers more Exclusive content than Sony and Microsoft combined. I love my PS3, and my computer, But I love Nintendo too.
Writing articles on the idiocy of idiots is about as valuable as feeding trolls.
The reason people hate any console is because they're ignorant, simple minded, or just want attention. It doesn't matter if the Wii U was just as powerful as a modern-day gaming PC rig, there would still be idiots who would say "Why get that now when I can get better than a gaming PC with PS4/Xbox 720?" Seriously, people will find stupid stuff to say and argue over.
