Zak from Save/Continue says,
"The gaming congregation went into a veritable tizzy with Nintendo’s recent announcement of finally venturing into the world of mobile gaming. Some fans were completely in favor while others jeered and scowled, as I sat by not really caring either way. There are definite pros and cons to both sides, and I was content to sit and wait for more information. For the most part this is still true, but Nintendo need only give me one game to get me backing them on this venture 100%.
Pokémon Snap."
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 does seem like a no-brainer, but I dunno -- seems like Nintendo is intent on never reviving this game.
Since they already said they'd only be creating new games for mobile devices, there won't be a port of Pokemon Snap.
Seriously, they could just re-release any of their killer games and it would sell like hotcakes.
I'd re-buy the original pokemon games for my phone.
Anyone remember the Google Maps thing they did last year for April 1st? Where you find pokemon throughout the world on google maps. It was cool and fun.
But there was a trailer that went with it that was fake obviously for april fools day. But it showed you using your phone and camera to catch pokemon in an AR like Pokemon catching game. This is my greatest wish with the Nintendo Mobile deal.
Found the trailer link

Based on the freemium Pokemon game they released for 3DS, I'm not too hopeful about their mobile ambitions. :(
