Nintendo has largely avoided discussing the subject of online when it comes to Wii U; we're still in the dark on details regarding the presence of friend codes and other things that have hampered the online experience for owners of Nintendo's previous consoles. The one exception to this has been Miiverse, which has the potential to connect Wii U owners with each other in a new, interesting way. There is, however, at least one issue that stands in the way of it being a major success (aside from Wii U itself selling well), and that is Nintendo's desire to provide a safe environment for younger gamers.
TNS: Based on its most recent ESG data, Nintendo boasts a remarkably low staff turnover rate of just 1.9%, with virtually no reported layoffs.
Well it doesn’t surprise me. As much money as they make and how they value their employees. It’s a great company in that regard.
Well, when your games remain full price many years after release.
And you make profit off of outdated hardware.
I would be shocked if they couldn't afford to retain their staff.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has set a new record by selling over 3 million units within 24 hours, tripling the PlayStation 4’s previous launch day sales.
Its crazy that it's both the highest selling console on day 1 and people can walk into a store and buy it with no pre order
Unlike the Switch 2 , the Playstation 4 was not sold on the same day in most regions.
Company skipped last year's event.
Not surprising at all.
I mean, they´ll be releasing a new console in a few weeks.
I've seen a lot of people disappointed by this, and I agree to a certain extent. How can the exciting notion of this constant flow of information and communication within a console-wide system really work if it's being moderated?
But the more I think of it, the more I know that there's no other way of doing it. As soon as I saw that people could draw pictures of anything they want to post, I decided that it would be about three seconds until somebody uploaded their first pair of boobs.
It's a great system, but there's no other way that I can think of that Nintendo can protect the gaming experiences of both children and adults looking to de-stress without moderation. If you think hearing "faggot" every couple of seconds is bad in Call of Duty, imagine seeing it every time you boot up your console as well...
Honestly while i agree that there should be show censoring let the parental control decide if that's the case.
Like two adults want to say swears the should be able to say them but for kids they won't see it unless the parents think they can handle it.
I don't think it will be so strict, but people deserve not to be offended by racists or profanity online.
The biggest problem is what if they start censoring things that don't need censored
"Hey guys i played this game and i didn't like it" maybe the person has a good reason to say that.
I could easily see this kinda censorship happen because let's face it sometimes all you have to do to offend someone is have a different opinion then them and that's not the kinda censorship anyone wants.
As long as Nintendo doesn't monitor what I say to people on my "friends list" then I don't mind.
