Nintendo has and will always be for gamers that are kids at heart. Every game is filled with bright colors, silly characters, and an easy to follow story line. Be it Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, or Super Smash Bros., you’re guaranteed to have fun and laugh while playing an all-around well-made and enjoyable game.
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.
They still deserve some criticism though. But I agree its pretty dumb to hate on the little system the way that some people do.
I used to bash the 3DS early in its life. Last November I bought myself a 2DS and I enjoy it a lot.
Do people really hate the WiiU? It seems to me that people are just indifferent
I like and own the system, though I've only played a handful of games on it so far. The gamepad has a potential that just simply isn't being utilized. It's being used as a gimmick rather a true piece of new technology. The fact that so many developers exist in this industry and that so few of them have the imagination to utilize the gamepad in extraordinary ways is a depressing situation to me. I'm not even in the industry, and I've thought of many ways to use the gamepad to ensure that the Wii U goes down in history as a technological accomplishment.
In the end, since the system does not have the innards to make some asshole's shirt look like a rain-soaked wet dream in a hardware-demanding thunderstorm, the Wii U will likely end up being a footnote in gaming history rather than the game-changer it should be.
But the system is still young, so I probably shouldn't be so negative. I have no regrets purchasing it thus far. Here's hoping that a couple of forward-thinking developers look at what the system and the gamepad combined are capable of and say, "What the hell, let's revolutionize gaming again. That hasn't been done in a while."
Despite my highly anti-WiiU comment history, I ended up getting a wii u for the family this christmas. XBox One was never in the running, and I really tried to want a PS4. Even though I had made the decision before I left my house, I stood in front of the PS4 games rack, trying to make myself choose PS4, but there just wasn't a single thing there that made me want one. The only game that could have turned the tide was LBP3 if it turned out to get good reviews, but alas, it didn't, and I couldn't find a single already released game I was excited about.
Wii U has the most high scoring titles on Metacritic, and on the rack I was excited to see Smash Bros, and Super Mario 3d World, and Mario Kart, and WindWaker HD. So despite still believing that the hardware itself is a bit of a ripoff pricewise (cost is too close to the far more powerful PS4), it was the only current gen console I felt like owning at the moment.
If at least a few of Uncharted, Silent Hill, Metal Gear, Final Fantasty 15, and Tomorrow Children end up being good, those are all games that might warm me up to getting a PS4, but in the meantime it feels like there's literally nothing worth playing on PS4, aside from stuff to keep you busy if you already bought one.
So yeah, I really hope Nintendo makes some more respectable or less expensive hardware next go around (it seems like all the developers and players are already bored of the ipad controller, even though it's still driving up the price), but in the meantime, I trust Nintendo will continue to pump out classics this entire gen. Also, counter-intuitively, some of the best looking games are on Wii U. It's true Wii U can't handle the same games as the other consoles, and more detailed games like Bayonetta and Xenoblade X show the consoles limits and compromises, but cartoony games like Mario Kart and Captain Toad look damn beautiful.
If the Wii U was as powerful as PS4 and Xbox One, had third party support and titles that made third party titles stand out on the system then things would be very different.
