We already knew that E3 2015’s Nintendo Digital Event would share news about “games and experiences” across Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.
But now Nintendo of America’s Bill Trinen has shed a little more light, in sharing that it will detail games “that will be launching in 2015 and early 2016.”
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 is the way it should be, why show games you know are years away from release? oh i know why, because if they didn't they would have troubles filling up that 90-120 minute time slot.
I'm more curious about their long-term gaming endeavors. This pretty much cements we'll hear zero news on old niche Nintendo IP.
I wish they would just talk to about the Nintendo NX. I want to know what that will be and when it releases. I planned on buying a Wii U but the NX is what's keeping me from buying one, I don't want to buy a Wii U and the NX release next year

Some other guesses:

- EAD Tokyo new title, possibly for new 3DS for holiday 2015
- No Retro Studios game announcement
- No Wii U price cut (at least not at E3 but maybe by Sept)
- No main Pokemon game coming out this year
- Rhythm Heaven 3DS coming fall 2015 for the West
- Next Level announces new project, but possibly for 2016
- Camelot Software might announce new title, but it would be for 2016 given its track record
- No E3 coverage for Zelda Wii U except a brief statement on its development status
Gamers weren't going to be fooled again? Speak for yourself. I always view Nintendo home consoles as complementary systems. Majority of the people buy Nintendo consoles for their 1st party games. So Nintendo releases a high spec system ala GameCube era and then what's the excuse if 3rd party studios still don't jump ship? Sounds like you don't really own a Wii U but who knows. Of course you may make the claim that you own one but most "gamers" who actually do own the system are satisfied of what it has to offer.
