CCC Says: "Nintendo has lost its mind. The company has just gone crazy. There is no other explanation for their horrible marketing decisions as of late. First, it flubbed the Wii U and turned it into the red-headed, fish-head eating stepchild of the console family, and now it's dead set on releasing a new version of the 3DS, only four years into the handheld's life cycle, called the New 3DS."
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.
So this is essentially a backwards compatible successor to the 3DS? I'm a huge Nintendo fan but I think this is going to cause a lot of consumer confusion. At first even I thought it was just another model.
I also don't get why they feel the need to do this so suddenly?
All they really need to do is change the name to Super 3DS or 3DSi or 3DS+ for consumer confusion. The DSi didn't cause death and destruction to the DS, so why should this one be different? The Dsi could play games the regular DS could not.
Here we go... knew this wasn't going to take long. Nintendo sucks yeah yeah yeah. Nintendo can't doing anything right yeah yeah yeah... Same old S*** just another day.
I for one am excited for the new 3DS. Opens up a bunch of new possibilities for Nintendo. For instance Xenoblade Chronicles. A game like that would not be able to fit on a small little cartridge unless Nintendo could upgrade the hardware. Also this version of the 3DS is adding in NFC for popular games like Skylanders,Disney Infinity, and soon to be Nintendo's own Amiibo figures.
How come Sony can release a new model of the Vita with them changing the screen and other things about the handheld but as soon as Nintendo comes out with a new and improved 3DS its considered blasphemy. This industry walks a very crooked line of double standards.
Most people were crying as to why Nintendo didn't add a second slidepad to the 3ds and now that they are doing that you people are still mad at them for doing so. Make up your mind already, looks like its true it doesn't matter what Nintendo do people are still going to hate on them.
The same happened with the DSi and it having its on store. Don't think its is mistake for Nintendo.
