Nintendo exists in a world of its own – a blissful, nostalgic world that gamers adore – so with its Wii U console in trouble, gamers would love a reason to buy one and will be eager to see what the Japanese giant has up its sleeve.
In part two of our E3 2014 preview we take you through what Nintendo has to offer, and what it may announce for Wii U and 3DS...
Part One here: http://n4g.com/news/1503629...
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.
Ah... I still think they should have a full on presentation... Especially since it looks like they will be showing off some 'hardcore' games. Plus, they are showing the Legend of Zelda. Weren't grown men crying when they announced twilight princess for the GameCube?
Mario Kart 8 will be a great start, especially being bundled with the system.
I hope Nintendo markets Bayonetta 2 well. With the right campaign, it could sell over 1 million copies, especially if Japan jumps on it. X (or whatever they'll end up calling it) has potential, as well.
Super Smash Bros. will be a system seller. So will the inevitable Super Mario game they're working on. (PLEASE be Super Mario Galaxy 3!)
I think E3's big Nintendo title will be Zelda though, like everyone else is assuming. Pretty excited to see that. If Metroid Prime makes an appearance, that would be great, too. I think I'd rather see Retro work on a new IP though. They're one of the best developers out there.
As much as I am excited for Nintendo's E3 (and the rest of E3), I almost feel like the gaming media is building it up too much. Of course Nintendo has a lot riding on this particular E3, but it feels like one of those cases where; "lets build it up, so we can tear it down later." Its happened a lot over the past couple of Nintendo Directs, mysterious hype, then the nit-picking afterwards. There aren't too many articles going around hyping the Playstation 4 or Xbox 1 E3 shows outside of a few games hopefully being shown. I just hope well all keep reasonable expectations this year.
