Streaming gives games a ton of clout, this is very backwards for Nintendo.

Erik73572432d ago (Edited 2432d ago )

The reason behind this decision is being controlling over the IP and how it's used.

Nintendo IP's are very critical and much more important to selling a Nintendo console than playstation exclusives are for selling a playstation console. They are very valuable and very important asset for Nintendo because they rely off their exclusives the most.

2pacalypsenow2432d ago (Edited 2432d ago )

So somehow you turned something negative Nintendo is doing into a positive and the same time criticize PlayStation.

Wow just wow, i'm impressed.

Lon3wolf2432d ago

@2pac

I took it as a compliment "Nintendo needs the exclusives more than Sony" to sell their consoles.

Erik73572432d ago (Edited 2432d ago )

I mean its not really saying they are doing a good thing i'm just telling you they are very sensitive to how their IP's are used and this is why they act the way they do.

YEAH! Nintendo needs to protect their games from free advertising!!!1!111!!11!!!11

Nintendo has created a cult. And Erik is at the helm. Member #1. I'm astonished at how Nintendo fans can spin any negativity into postiveness.

But someone could be streaming mario and say a bad word! Yeah, who needs free advertisement? Nintendo could stand to grow up maybe a little but they're stuck in neverland.

FloydianAndroid2432d ago

This is Nintendo being Nintendo. They don't realize how much it helps the brand to provide let's plays and reviews. They continue to be the most out of touch company ever. Their games are amazing, but how they market their brand is so underwhelming. They could care less what their fans want.

kneon2432d ago

I don't get it. It's as if they have no interest in expanding their fan base.

Nintendo hates free advertising

DreadGara2432d ago

Sounds like they are jealous of of every penny people are getting from YouTube so they decided to Youtubedont.

Vits2431d ago

Well, they already take 30% to 40% of the revenue from all youtube channels affiliated with their program. And if your channel or video is not affiliated with it, but it is about one of their games you can not monetize it at all.

SegaGamer2432d ago

How can they be so out of touch ? Maybe it's time they got somebody else in to make these decision's because this is just stupid. They obviously don't realise that streaming games can help sell a game.

PapaBop2432d ago

Two steps forward, one step back.

Nodoze2432d ago

One step forward, 10 steps back.

Black0ut2432d ago

@Papa

But that would mean they'd still be going forward...

This policy is some legit backwards trash. Pick your game up, Nintendo.

BlaqMagiq12431d ago

This isn't even one step forward.

XDefiant dev promises fix to frustrating hit reg issues, though players remain skeptical

Mark Rubin, XDefiant’s executive producer, responded to an X/Twitter post that fixes to hit reg “are something [they] are working on.” Unfortunately, it’s unclear when it will arrive, as neither Rubin nor the development team have yet to provide an actual time frame.

Ha man what is this the 8th time they are working on this issue?

SO the game is using division one maps/assets with some divison 2 thrown in with that we can say they never really made the maps so what have they been doing for there 6 to perhaps 8 years of dev time? must be alot of hookers/blow/parties.

It's astounding how much money they blow and this is the results. Gaming development is out of control.

just_looken2d ago

Right even when ubisoft cancelled division heartland as a beta player that game was a far better state then they push with this trash of a game that is still in a beta state after 3 years of delay's.

we are so starved of any decent fps/3rd person shooters out there it seems we will take anything even though some ps2 fps games were more fun then this game in my old opinion.

FPS_D3TH2d ago

Skeptical because it was an issue with ALL the betas and still hasn’t been fixed

just_looken2d ago

Its like they are using division one servers but they caught fire then were put together with barry/carols help from the janitors wing or some shit. Three years they still can not make it so the gun goes boom the guy gets hit then damage is applied.
