Reuben Levine writes, "The next generation of gaming is almost upon us, and for Nintendo that means the release of the Wii U. Much like last generation, the Big N is set to be the first out of the gate with a new console, as neither Microsoft nor Sony have made any real announcements yet. As gaming conventions and events came and went, Nintendo remained tight-lipped on the pricing of its new console. But finally, after much anticipation, Nintendo has let the cat out of the bag, confirming crucial details on all things Wii U, such as the all-important price tag. Currently, two price points were announced: $300 for a regular white console and $350 its deluxe black counterpart. And now that we know how much the thing costs, only one question remains: does the price seem fair for a next-generation console?"
It should come as no surprise that Nintendo is pretty protective regarding its IP. Going after emulators, ROM hacks, and reproductions is one thing, but it looks like the firm is starting to aim its sights on something rather surprising: sheet music.
this reminds me of that nintendo facebook social media question where they asked people what their favourite nintendo song was and people posted yt links. EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS TAKEN DOWN
You want to kill a party fast just invite Nintendo. But we are talking about a company who took down pictures of a strategy guide that has never appeared in the west. You don't see Square taking down music or sheet music to Aerith's theme, Tifa's theme, June Mermaid. Memorable tunes stick with fans to great games. Nintendo games have fans that have been routed since the NES. People have Youtube vids showing how to play Zelda's lullaby on piano, violin or my favorite the harp. Nintendo taking down sheet music or those curious about a Japanese strategy guide makes Nintendo look like an asshole to those fans.
Out of spite those people should now out put all that music in a torrent upload and share it (I will seed for them🤣) Then email Nintendo the link to it lol. Good luck taking down a torrent. Torrents and Usenet is the only way to get around anything Nintendo tries to take down because they can't. This is the way to preserve games and game music, without anyone telling you otherwise.
The latest Switch firmware update kills off support for the Elon Musk-owned social media company.
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal
I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.
Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."
You can't make this crap up lol
Enough with the lame article titles already.
Wii U Not COZ is sold out
But both of them have buyers remorse written all over them, there are no games. The only reason to buy either one of them is maybe if you don't have an 360, or PS3. Vita has a bunch of PSN and Japanese games, and WiiU has a bunch of Kiddy and Remakes.
I hope third parties flock.
I hate to say it, but the wii U name is starting to grow on me.
