"Recent days haven’t been so bright for Nintendo. While low Wii U sales are by no means a doomsday for the company, there’s enough going against Nintendo right now that it may be time for some constructive criticism.
We have some pretty big Nintendo fans here at Pixelitis and we’d really like to see the company return to its former glory days.
Between making new games or changing business practices (and perhaps another Year of Luigi) here are some ideas on our wishlist for Nintendo. Feel free to leave your own ideas in the comments section below." - Pixelitis Staff
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.
DO:
Improve advertisement globally
Start packing pro controllers alongside game pads in every Wii U bundle, because it 1: enables multiplayer right out of the box, 2: gives people who whine about the game pad a secondary option, and 3: Adds value to the current bundles so that they don't have to adjust the prices up or down.
Stop hiding so many projects. We want to hear more news about known projects and heretofore unknown details on new projects. Give us announcements to excite us!
Expand your current teams and hire new ones so that you can get more game projects going at once.
Pay more attention to indies and smaller third party devs.
Pay more attention to seldom-used franchises under your wing[a Wii U sequel to Kid Icarus Uprising would be a great idea] and look into reviving formerly-dead franchises from third parties that are struggling to get support for them, like you did with Bayonetta 2. [more specifically, I hear that Metal Arms: Glitch in the System was originally supposed to be a Trilogy...hint hint, Nintendo. Hint. Hint.]
DO NOT:
Listen to anyone telling you to go mobile, go third party, slash the price tag to match the original Wii, get rid of the game pad, get rid of the Wii U entirely for the sake of a new system[SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE, LEARN FROM WHAT HAPPENED TO SEGA, ALREADY!] or money-hat AAA third party devs when most of them have proven they can't do anything but ports of old games for the Wii U, or don't want to try doing any sort of game at all.[with obvious exceptions to those who have proven themselves adept, such as Ubisoft]
