The Eccentric Gamer Writes: "Nintendo has been known to take shots at the competition, but this time they might have looked more delusional than normal, or are they?
In a holiday shopping PR stunt, Nintendo has claimed that the 3DS and WII U has 11 more quality games than the PS4 and Xbox One combined."
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 think the new pokemon games really boosted them again
Lol @ Nintendo and the Mario Trollface pick! Well played!
Unfortunately the public doesn't feel the same way based on how they have recieved them.
It's pretty clear they like the PS4 and it's games since it sells more hardware and software than Xbox One and Wii U combined worldwide.
Well no offence but despite the disappointments we've had over the year if we judge the first year of the Wii U and the first year of the PS4/Xbox One I feel like the PS4/Xbox One had a better year then the Wii U. The Wii U only really got into swing when Mario Kart came out in *my* opinion
I used to love Nintendo , when I was younger , and Mario will always be a classic , but ....
Get real.
