Allisa James from DualShockers tells you why you shouldn't be so mad at Nintendo for their Cranky Kong announcement at the VGX this year.
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.
So everything else you can hate but Nintendo....it's fine
Sorry but no...the entire show was a joke and that reveal added to it, it was the most talked about because it was the most laughable especialy when we already knew about Cranky Kong.
They could of even talked more about an announced game like Mario Kart or Smash Bros and it would of been better then that
Its the fact that they build up the hype for what they were gonna show and turn out to be disappointing.
I'm upset because Nintendo screwed up an incredible opportunity to buy more Wii U owners.
nintendo's just been really out of touch with its users lately. From YouTube to gaming events, it's like they've acquired this old business mindset
DK would be the most popular thing to show in America, itls not like they would come out and make a huge announcement for something that isn't in their other market (Japan) as well. It was still a huge failure of a reveal though, even just a little Smas Bros. gameplay or ANY trailer for another game would have been nice. Cranky was already pretty much a guaranteed addition to DK so labeling anything as an 'announcement' is a pretty far leap.
We can all agree something else should have been shown, it's a shame they couldn't lend some much neede substance to the show.
