NX NEWS COMMENT: Nintendo may have gotten it spectacularly wrong with the Wii U, but one look at their recent decisions and you’ll see a company that’s once again on the up and up.
Sony has launched a BAFTA Game Awards 2024 section on the PlayStation Store that lists the different games nominated this year.
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.
The Epic Games Store has another freebie ready for your library and it is a free runner.
I would not say BOTW is stunning, it looks great, but common! Hopefully the NX version will look even better!
Anyway, this guy is over the top! I do not think Nintendo is really trying to compete with Sony/Microsoft, but rather establish their own markert, which with NX seems to be ease of taking it on the go rather than making it super powerful, which if it has more power than Wii U, it will be pretty cool for something portable, but I still wanted just a standard home console. Still can't wait and pre-order ASAP, whenever that will be!?!
I just can't see it happening to be honest. I don't think there is anything they could do that would make me pick their system ahead of an Xbox One or PS4 now, and i'm sure that this is the case with many Xbox and Playstation gamers. I have built a solid collection on my Xbox 360 / One and PS3 / PS4 now, i just can't see anything Nintendo could do that would make me give that all up now. The only thing i would buy the NX for is their exclusives, but i'm not even sure it would be worth it. I don't think i could justify buying it just for their exclusives, i wouldn't really game on it all that much. 2 consoles is enough for me.
It's not April Fool's yet.
It's a handheld.
Let's not be so quick to judge anything just yet. Nothing has even been revealed. Only talk, rumors and speculations. It could be cool or it could bomb. Nintendo has been known to pull out a few aces once and a while. It is hard to think of them surging ahead, but that's why they pay people the big bucks to think what gamers might want/like...
