CraveOnline: "Reviews for Super Smash Bros. on 3DS aren’t scheduled to break until Thursday, and you can bet I’ve spent every waking hour since I received my copy duking it out with Nintendo’s all-stars, pushing the plastic input mechanisms of my Flame Red 3DS to their absolute limits. It’s not the fact that the more-plasticky-than-I-realized 3DS groans under the pressure of my movements that makes me want to upgrade, though. That I can live with. Instead, it’s the brilliant accuracy with which the Super Smash Bros. experience has been reproduced that compels me to take the plunge. Contrary to what I expected, the entire Smash experience is here, which makes the absence of a C-stick and dual triggers painfully and flagrantly apparent."
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 already own a 3DS.... and I'm going to be replacing it with the new model!
It's new! Sometimes, that's all some people need to hear. My original 3DS XL is still doing really well.
There's two big reasons why I'll be getting the New3DS:
#1 I'm an early adopter of the original 3DS.
I've had it for a while now.
I'm ready for an upgrade.
#2 XENOBLADE ON THE GO!
WITH IMPROVEMENTS TO THE QUEST SYSTEM!
Finally, no more blindly wandering around the maps trying to find the target people amongst many similar-looking NPC's; they're adding in quest markers on the maps themselves!
There's going to be other stuff, too, but that's a pretty big deal for me.
I'm also hoping that this upgrade will be the perfect platform to launch a Remastered version of Majora's Mask!
I'm married and don't have a great job. I can't afford to make multiple purchases of basicly the same machine in any one generation.
So, the only thing that would make me buy this one is if nintendo told us it would be their go to handheld system for the next 4 years. I could get one then. But not when the possibility of a real successor sits heavy on the horizon of the next 2 years.
I'll buy it depending on how many games they make exclusive for it. Otherwise probably won't get it since I got my XL only 1 year ago.
