Metro: ''A reader complains of the agonies of being a Nintendo fan since the release of the Wii U, and worries about the future of Mario, Zelda, and Metroid.''
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.
Don't stop! Believin'!
No? Too soon?
"Nintendo rushed out the Wii U to beat Sony and Microsoft to market. But the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are bearing down on the Wii U, and Nintendo has to deal with the fact that their new console is a near flop."
Totally agree with this. Nintendo should've had some of it's big hitters closer to the Wii U's launch not a year plus later. They should've thought this through. ;)
I didn't even bother reading.
Why?
The media these days is already chock-full of people looking for any excuse under the sun to say Nintendo is dying.
The last thing I need to see is yet another "disillusioned" former fan say that he's tired of how Nintendo is doing things.
Heck, just look around the comment sections of N4G and you'll see a cornucopia of people who are basically parroting every hater phrase under the sun at Nintendo right now.
I'll just wait until it's into the middle of 2014.
If it hasn't made a come-back by the middle of next year, THEN, I'll worry.
But as it stands now?
It's only showing some of the same issues that the Wii initially struggled with, and that took off like a ROCKET not long after that first year of struggling.
being a Nintendo fan since the release of the Wii U, and worries about the future of Mario, Zelda, and Metroid.'
Ok then, bye.
I've only bought one wii u game thus far. Make the wii u RPG heaven and you'll get my money.
