The VideoGameWriters: "With two of the biggest reasons for the Wii’s success now on the side of the enemy, how can the less powerful and less hardcore system remain relevant? Below, I’ve outlined five strategies that Nintendo could use to remain successful in the industry they helped cultivate. The real question is: will they wise up and use them before it’s too late?
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.
IMO, Nintendo is getting ready to fold their hand and start saving up for the next one. Their line up on the Wii in 2011 is lackluster at best --they're hedging their bets on the N3DS (and for good reason) to carry them into 2012. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to be the first one to pull the trigger on the next generation of consoles. With the advent of the Kinect and PlayStation Move, Nintendo is realizing that they're in danger of being outclasses at their own game.
It's time for them to evolve and they know it.
Kinect and move are add ons at best and wont continue to sell at big numbers fact end of the software is lackluster end of and if u think nintendo havnt got lots to announce about there wii line up at GDC in feb 2011 u are a fool to think we only know of Zelda ss,DQ10,Last story,Kirbys epic yarn ect i dont think so expect Luigis mansion 2/eternal darkness 2/mario galaxy 3 ect announced soon my guess
No need for Wii HD.. everything else are OK
Nintendo with 3rd party devs will announce something good on a wii this year, I don't care a lot about competing, it never was a factor for me.. it's good that wii can deliver to us something different than Micro or Sony.. PS3 and Xbox360 can compete to each other and I'll stand aside ant laugh :) (two are competing, third wins :)))
Wii has at least 15 games + that ive seen running in 720p that looked on par with high end 360 except 1 game looked in a class of its own Mario Galaxy 2 ruuning in 720p simply looked like something from Wii2 or PS4 its silky smooth frame rate and camera on top of the 60fps Graphics its simply in a higher class than any other game,I think Nintendo's new strategy with 3DS and 3rd partys will also be adopted on Wii and at GDC in feb Iwata will announce an amazing wii lineup as Reggie said more wii games in 2011 u have to see to believe points to GDC and Iwatas speach already confirmed Nintendo no all the wii needs now is AAA software.
