John Artest: "Nintendo doesn’t care about WiiWare, or Virtual Console, for that matter. This was painfully obvious a few months ago, as the publisher continued to allow developers to release horrible games with little fanfare or advertising, but after this morning’s update, I’m done. No offense to Incredible Technologies and Sudden Games. I’m sure both developers worked hard on Target Toss Pro: Lawn Darts and Astro Bugz Revenge, respectively, but how am I supposed to get excited about two games I have never heard of, especially when both titles cost 700 Wii Points apiece?"

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.
Yeah it really does lack compared to XBLA and PSN.
Man, where are the good Virtual Console games? Ugh.
really?
I love the service. Love it a lot more than XBLA and PSN. Although love some of the PS1 selections on PSN. Still, I have all of the Resident Evil games ever released on Gamecube, so I can even use my Wii for that. The rerelease of Perfect Dark on XBLA was great too, though.
Anyway, Megaman 9/10, Final Fantasy: My Life as a Dark Lord, Final Fantasy IV: After Years, Monkey Island, World of Goo, Lost Winds 1/2, Castlevania Adventure:Rebirth, to name a few. Not to mention the awesomeness of what's available in the virtual console library. Still, Nintendo has been severely lacking on that front as of late. Can't be helped though. There's so much red tape with 3rd party titles. Makes releasing titles stateside even more of a pain in the a$$.
there are a lot of great games on wiiware
