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.
Since when does Nintendo need saving? I don't get this doom and gloom bs about Nintendo. I'm not their biggest fan but even I know their products as of late sell like crazy. Am I missing something here?
Whew! It's a good thing that didn't matter seeing as Nintendo doesn't need saving. Some people need to get a life. Why are all these "doom and gloom" articles about everything getting so much attention?
The Nintendo name is #1 in the world right now in the gaming industry. Nothing Nintendo as of today needs saving as they dominate the charts worldwide at a consistant rate. Nintendo has clearly innovated the gaming landscape and has changed the way we all play games today. They have also changed the way that rival competitors do business.
The Wii U will launch and become the next Nintendo machine to shape the industry. Through innovation, sales, and quality games that people expect when they purchase a Nintendo console. The Nintendo Wii U will also set trends that will soon be used by rival competitors and will once again push the industry forward.
The tablet controller may be a joke to some now. But the world will no longer think that joke is funny when rivals release or later make their very own tablet controller.
Nintendo will perform past expectations next gen just as they did this generation. People will soon see that just as the Wii Mote, the tablet controller is no gimic.
Rated E For Everyone
Pachter.......
THEY HAVE TIME MACHINES?
Didn't think so. STFU because you can't see into the damn future.
