Many media outlets are taking the revelations that Nintendo is building a “dedicated platform with a brand new concept” — code named ‘NX’ — is a sign the Wii U is being rushed to the discontinued bin in favour for a new console that will be speedily rushed to market."
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.
Another year and half to two years for the system than the NX will release.Taking in account the last comemts from Iwatta that the NX will start from 0 and that they will keep releasing both 3DS and Wii U games,in the context of the words he says during the interview i read at dtoid im frankly expecting that the NX its going to be primary a home console but with some kind of hardware to play games also on the move a hidrid system,also it most likely will not offer backwards compatible with the Wii U games like somepeople are expecting.
Their bodies aren't ready
Don't worry Nintendo the people are already ditching it out ;)
"Many media outlets are taking the revelations that Nintendo is building a “dedicated platform with a brand new concept”...is a sign the Wii U is being rushed to the discontinued bin"
And because their E3 was weak. And because Wii U sales are weak. And because Reggie called NX a home console.
Gee, where'd they get that idea?
Ditch it already!
