"Nintendo has always been about fun and I strongly believe that once they get these major titles out they’ll reestablish themselves as the top dog in the gaming 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.
"This shows that Nintendo knows that it’s in trouble and that they need to start thinking outside of their usual formulas to keep their consumers happy and interested"
I am sorry but what? This isn't thinking outside of their usual formula. I would go as far to say this is the same Nintendo formula we have seen for some time.
When have they made a zelda game like this? Unless I missed something it's pretty far from standard Nintendo fare
I was really surprised there were so many new game announcements. I was only expecting news on previously announced games.
Wow, Nintendo allows a third party to do something truly different with the tried-and-true formula of one of their first-party franchises, and suddenly a bunch of people who were previously bitching about Nintendo never allowing for much change in their first party franchises are swarming articles relating to this to bitch about the change, just because it's similar to Dynasty Warrior's.
What the fuck do you people WANT out of these series?
A damned Hyrule version of BASEBALL or some sort of Mario X Mass Effect mash-up!?XD
Give the damned game a chance before you write it off for being like Dynasty Warrior's.
If nothing else, it's showing that Nintendo is at least WILLING to collaborate with third parties to introduce core-gameplay-shaking changes to games related to their core franchises...
Man people are on here tripping. For one this is not by the same team working on the main game. What Nintendo did in the direct is show the versatility of their spring line up. We got Golf which is worth the price of admission. Got a cart game coming out that lets be honest looks beautiful. Now we have a new type of zelda game that is early but I bet when their done will look great. Smash brothers with a new character reveal. Now were on here bitching. If anyone has forgotten Nintendo said the new Zelda will not be shown until E3.
