Since the release of the Game Boy, Nintendo has ruled portable gaming. That era is over, says Masato Kato, the writer of FFVII, Xenogears and Chrono Trigger. But why?
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.
right...i may not agree with nintendos future outline but i've heard this before.Nintendo could sell ice to eskimos plus nintendo will do what nintendo has alwasy done offer zelda mario metroid f-zero and there other 200 ips that they know people will snach up at day one. I have a felling nintendo isn't going anywhere.
the ipad? you mean that $400 POS that apparently is great for gaming? has anyone played games on the thing yet?
I rather play on a SEGA Game Gear than that POS..
the iPad will not pose a threat to the DS in the long run. How much can really be achieved with no buttons? Sure mini games here and there will be neat on the iPad, but when will we see a full fledged title that is exclusive to the iPad? A game that will get as much buzz as a Mario or Zelda game? Never.
The iPad? That $600 piece of shit is just a oversized iPod touch, what? you mean to tell me for birthdays and christmas mothers are going to start getting thier 8 year olds iPads instead of a DS? You must be insane, 70 million Wiis sold and like 120 million DS sold, yea, nintendo is going anywhere son.
Oh, is it that time of the month for someone to say Nintendo is doomed again?
