Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime tells WSJ’s David Ho how Nintendo will compete with gaming on tablets, smartphones and tablets.
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.
From a Wii U owner, they are doing a fantastic job with the games. I love that Star Fox is in production along with many others coming. E3 will be exciting!!!
I don't know what they could do more than they are doing....other than drop the price when it's comfortable for them. The holidays should be big for Wii U sales in comparison to last year's Wii U sales because of Smash Bros.
The quality games keeps coming so it's just a matter of trying to tempt consumers with price and creative marketing.
A new IP once in a while could help amongst other things.
They need to invest in new studios for new IP ideas. 3rd party developers are/have turn their backs on Nintendo. Its time for the big N to expand their 1st and 2nd party developers.
I am going to be straight up here. I have no desire whatsoever to pick up a ps4 or xbox one controller right now. I am dead serious when I say there are no games that interest me at all on those platforms. The 3rd party imo has been low quality and lack luster, just look at unity, destiney, etc. Not saying they are bad, just filler and nothing more. Unlike those systems, when I play on my wii u I am actually satisfied with now and the future. I am not playing a boring shooter like everyone else, I am going to be playing splatoon. I wont be playing a racing sim like everyone else, I will be upside down underwater in Mario kart 8. I wont be playing a next gen GTA that was released last year. I will be playing a full open world rpg with the type of combat I can't get anywhere else. I dont have to worry about dlc with these games, I get free online with these games, I get my buck's worth. I know I am sounding like a fanboy, but the other systems just seem very lacking. It does not feel like, "This, is THE gaming experience."
i am getting one in february. my ps4 needs a buddy.
