Thanks to some terrific new games and a fresh lease of life, Nintendo’s Wii U has gone from zero to hero in recent months. In fact, it’s currently the most desirable next gen console money can buy.
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.
"Is it the most powerful piece of hardware going? No. Will it still be the pick of the bunch come the end of 2015? Possibly not.
But for now, Nintendo’s resurgent console is quite possibly the must-have platform for the holiday season."
This, and anyone who disagrees is simply not being honest.
It always has been.
I love the ps4 and xbone but for different reasons.
There's no denying that Wii U is for the "Hardcore" Gamers this gen I'm glad it's not like the Wii and focuses less on the casuals.
Ps4 for the casuals and kids who are interested more about sales/spec than actual games, I will never understand that logic, those fanboys give Sony a bad name. That being said I have no doubt Ps4 will start to catch up with some good quality games in the future and I can't wait. My little daughter loves it tho.
Xbone is somewhere inbetween, it's kind of hit and miss, you either love it or hate it. Im growing to it slowly.
So whether you have a Wii U and ps4 or Wii U and xbone, you have the best of both worlds.
Best secondary console to buy!!! PS4+WiiU for me!
For this generation maybe.
Buying one for Smash bros this Friday, PS4 n' Wii U combo for Christmas.
