Though many franchises such as Call of Duty and Assassins' Creed release annually, Nintendo is against releasing their existing franchises annually. For example Fils-Aime says Mario Kart gets one iteration for each Nintendo console.
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.
Good. Who's even asking?
They release Mario almost every year.
I find that Nintendo games hold their value over time. I guess this is due to the fact that we don't see yearly updates of any of their franchises. This is a good thing really...
Lol....yeah not like Nintendo hasn't been releasing Mario, Zelda and Pokemon games sometimes multiple times a year for a while now....
Nintendo doesn't think of franchises like other people do. Mario Party is different than Mario Kart which is different than Mario Golf which is different than Mario platformer which is different than Mario Olympics. As long as the gameplay or concept is different from another game it's a different or new IP to them.
Sure they rely on Mario a ton, no disputing that. But they rarely produce the same series twice in a row. Theirbiggest stagnation is the 2D Mario series (I'm not a fan of the NEW series), but their other series get at least one or two new additions that adds an X factor. They still mix things up time to time and Mario is a proven seller, he's a stamp of approval.
