GG3 picks up the news of Nintendo's new handheld announcement with the latest 2DS model. While this is the 3DS that is already known, but without the 3D, there is more than is cut than meets the immediate eye. Nintendo has revealed the full specifications for the device and its comparison with the first 3DS and 3DS XL.
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.
I like this new 2DS. different design ( modern desing) and it's an alternative for those who don't want to pay the full price of a 3DS.
3DS was doing fine, it didn't need this. I honestly think this is just gonna cause more confusion to the general public now. Just as people were beginning to understand that the 3DS is a new handheld.
Wow, this thing looks like it was obviously designed for people with small children. Having two small kids myself, I've witnessed them wear out and break the hinge on 2 DS lites, and start to work on one of the 3DS XL (all of my wife's, also they are getting better at taking care of the 3DS now, no real wear other than getting it dirty). That and we never (more like rarely let them play with the 3D turned on). I can see getting this, just for the fact that my wife could reclaim her system, and the kids could have something that is better suited for them.
Something tells me quite a few people are getting fired...
No buy
