"I'll be the first one to say that I love Nintendo's IPs. Mario, Bowser, Link, and all of the other great characters have brought me countless hours of fun over my gaming life. With that said though, something has felt off this generation of consoles and it has led me to sell both my Nintendo Wii U and 3DS. Let's jump and take a look as to why I came to that conclusion."
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.
Story quality: WTF
Like this website: NO!
Sorry, I have seen many articles get dropped rapidly quick for either called CLICKBAIT or TROLLING when it comes to PlayStation or Xbox. I don't see why this article is any different. N4G needs to treat its community fairly and not condone any articles that are out right bashing another's console of choice.
This would be no different if I went into an article and started saying how I chose Nintendo over Sony or Microsoft. I would get flagged for trolling and my comment would be removed.
Wow. The fan boys really come out in full force when Nintendo is criticized. The guy is simply saying he can't justify keeping his Wii U and 3DS around and wants to see them put into a home that will play them more than he does.
Jeez people. Take a step back a relax. It's his own opinion, not clickbait or trolling. Give it up.
Come on..Opinions should really not get censored, even if they are unpopular.
Your loss boss. I play my WiiU on a reg.
Right up there with PS4, its my Xbone that's collecting phat dust.
But that's just in my crib.
Cant speak for every one.
Nice opinion piece though.
Better him then me. Lol
