It has almost been a year since Nintendo released Wii U, the company’s eight-generation gaming console. Nintendo entered into next-gen gaming with Wii U before any other manufacturer. But the question is, will Wii U be able to keep up with its rivals i.e. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in next-gen race or will it again face tons of various adversities and problems such as lack of game titles, poor graphics, less number of targeted audience, low sales, less developers attention and etc.
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.
To be honest, i saw this coming before it was released. It was unnecessary, many people were still playing and loving the wii. Many others didn't even know it was a separate console, they thought it was a touch screen add on for the wii. And releasing a console that is barely as powerful as current gen in the wake of next gen was an extremely stupid thing to do in my opinion.
If Nitendo do the same thing next gen in terms of making a weak system, then it could be there last home console (unless the Wii U seals that fate).
Yeah, let's talk about Wii U not growing as expected when Wii U sales have been on a pretty big rise with the release of just one remaster. In fact, let's not point out any of the potential problems the competition might face.
Totally not a one-sided article.
I may be wrong....but the one thing that struck me as a major problem.
was the NAME of the console.
The Wii U
It sounds like a add on for the Wii....not a whole new system. Nintendo for the most part has always named each system something different...gamecube, wii, nintendo 64 etc
To me they wanted to have that Wii name in it. But I bet you ask the average non gamer (the people who purchased the Wii) they probably would say they thought it was a add-on and not a new system.
They should have gave it a whole new name. At least then it would have its own identity.
Wii u is starting to pick up sales by next years holidays they will be at least 10 to 15 million wii u's out there..with the help of kart , smash, bayo 2 etc and another price drop by next dec and they will be ok ...nintendos problem is the price us big n fans know the value of the console but most don't and see it as a wii add on etc but once they hit that 200$ with a game price they will really start selling just watch
