Nintendo does a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong. Unlike many companies, when they do things right, they do them not only effectively but uniquely. But when they do something wrong, things go horribly wrong.
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.
I don't see why the D-pad wasn't placed on the top and the analog on the bottom and they didn't include a second analog on the right side. I wouldn't mind a little extra bulk if it meant I could control my games better. Also, why aren't the Home, Start, and Select buttons raised?
Another issue I have is that the bottom screen runs at a lower resolution than the top.
The Circle Pad is one ugly looking peripheral. Heck, it looks like a tumor that needs to be surgically removed from the 3DS.
I don't think it looks bad, although I don't have a DS either. And the DPad was placed on bottom maybe because you'd use it less and the top would be more comfortable for more games. Yeah it screws you for games that only use the dpad, but it can't be 100% perfect.
The 3DS looks fine but with that fugly piece of shit circle pad accessory probably designed by Crapcom, it would be an eyesore.
It is pretty bad...
Why can't most people admit it though, people quickly jump in to defend Nintendo with out thinking about Nintendos poor decision. When Sony/Microsoft does something wrong were quick to comment at what they've done but Nintendo get's a free pass. No company is perfect but we should be able to say when they've done wrong.
The point is that circle pad should of been on from the start, if Nintendo wern't so bothered about a gimmick to sell their handheld they could of focused on the design and what people have been asking for....you know the whole "We want a second analouge stick on our PSP", Nintendo could of jumped in on the chance but didn't
