GamesBeat writes that Nintendo's Miyamoto and Iwata took the time to defend the company's E3 Digital Event and show floor presence, but the publisher also had a bit of criticism for Sony and Microsoft for showing off so many far-off games in video form only.
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.
Still Damage controlling I see. Just shut up!
Sony and MS had a better show than you, Nintendo. even if you had playable demos of games no one asked or no one wanted, Horizon Zero Dawn look more promising than some game with the Metroid name on it and the graphically-outdated-with-gimm icki-controls Star Fox. The only thing that may come close is Xenoblade, which is a game I'm anticipating. Everything else was crap.
And here's the thing. Both showed more promising titles for their console than Nintendo did for Wii U. Nintendo isn't really the one that should be talking about promises when they showed so little about Wii U and are starting to focus on NX, which is still years away
Eh..its time that these two oldtimers slowly dissapear from the Nintendo headquaters and make place for people that are more in touch with the time and also their possible audience.
These guys are at the point of doing more harm than good. No more pay cuts, just resign and make room for a new generation.
Teasing new games that are set out to come out this generation, on this gen of systems is a good thing IMO. Big AAA titles need longer times to produce Hype/Preorders.
Teasing your NeXt console in the middle of your current gen console...is a terrible idea.
Why couldn't they just show Zelda for one second! One Second! It is almost a sure thing for this next Zelda to repeat what Twilight Princess did. It will be on the Wiiu and will be a launch title for the NX.
"WE know everyone is eagerly anticipating the Next Zelda, and we appreciate your patience. Here is a quick video to show our progress on one of the most Iconic video game characters Ever! Thank You and Enjoy!"
Roll 5 second video of Link doing a spin move.
Nintendo's 2015 E3 is instantly more digestible, and they avoid all these apologies.
How hard was that?!
I hope the NX blows me away...wont hold my breath.
