Blast Magazine: Can the Wii U still stand strong amid announcements of Microsoft's Smart Glass and Sony's Cross-Controller?
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.
Given neither Sony nor MS had homerun pressers...Nintendo can certainly still shine.
Microsoft's was pretty boring, Sony's was solid but nothing amazing. They didn't steal any thunder.
I feel it is Nintendo's show to lose. They are the ones with new hardware. They are the ones that need to catch up with the other two in terms of tech.
The only concern i have is that during the pre-E3 event they held they showed a lot of the Wii-U's functions. If they do that exact same thing again & not focus on the games i will be disappointed.
The ball is in Nintendo's court, so hopefully they do not turn it over.
No. They both fell flat on their faces. Neither one announced a new console. It is passed time for the next gen to come out and they both failed. Nintendo has already won this E3 IMO. Nintendo has been terrible as of late and the Wii U will likely suck but at least they realize that it is time for new hardware.
They were nothing but a couple passing clouds, Nintendo's the one that's gonna bring the storm!
