Wii U had plenty of factors working against it, but were all of them really Nintendo's fault?
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.
Nintendo went wrong with wii u just like wii and gamecube. NX will go down the same path because of history. Look at starfox for wii u which looks like a high res gamecube game. Nintendo will continue to do the same things theyve been doing because they think hardware power and cutting edge technology doesnt matter when they do
Need to be on the same level as xbox,PS4 as far as hardware.
There was nothing wrong with gamecube. With? It had nearly 2x the power of PS2. Great deal with Capcom for years. Fantastic Star Wars games. Rogue Squadron 2 and Luigies Mansion for Release titles.
FZero Smash bros, Eternal Darkness, oh man the Cube was awesome...
Still have a Wii for Cube games.
Third party ports and a lack of killer first party games are what halted Wii U's sales, alongside rotten advertisement on ALL sides.
No amount of power will sell the NX if third parties and Nintendo don't offer a starting lineup of games worth giving a damn about.
I'm already planning on getting Witcher 3 on PC, once mine is fixed.
An NX port of it, or any other recent third party game, won't be enough to move the NX.
Same goes for first party games: it'll take more than a late port of Star Fox Zero to move NX units no matter how much prettier it looks.
They need exclusives and new multiplats.
Not ports and remasters of stuff.
So the blame is a mix: Nintendo had a lot of fault, but they can't be held accountable for last gen ports from third parties, just as third parties can't be blamed for Nintendo not putting out enough quality first party software to cover their own butts.
yay More Wii U what went wrong, dead, doom, failure and etc. articles.
I expect more this months.
