I am confused? The Switch has been around since 2017 and people are taking now, about purchasing games on the Wii U eShop?
If we had this effort during the Wii U timeframe, the console might had a longer lifespan.
But regarding to the closing of the eShop we are still able tonlosere the purchased games correct? Then I don’t understand where the issue is? Definitely beats a subscription plan! 😁
@BloodNinja if its free, why can”t I emulate the Gameboy games on my Nintendo consoles? Using a third party software that will require updates for new hardware in the future on a PC and downloading ROMs from a rouge site. Is in this case not the solution since this isn’t Consumer oriented. Besides lets also not forget the licensing issue here.
Here is a elementary example; a book or a negative film is perfect for preservation. No need for any updates, internet connection for hand shake verification or a running subscription. In other words as long it is digital and requires a internet connection to check the licenses or updates for future hardware. A monthly paid subscription. It can not be called preservation.
The hiring announcements only mean one thing. The company Retro Studio is still aktive. We should take that for granted.
For Spekulationen, this could mean they are working on multiple games, developing new tools on a new engine or Dev Kit, someone is being replaced or they have a deadline to meet and need man power. Only one knows…
@Ventilator ah okay not sure what you are referring to? Okay, yes Tencent the worlds largest video game vendor which was founded on the Cayman Islands. That says it all right? Nobody said not to worry about Tencent. But If there is someone worse, it does not make the bad, good. Yes Tencent ate no Gentleman you have to thank that to your Fortnite, Call of Duty, League of Legends and Co. players!
Microsoft is not doing anything different then Tencent. But hey maybe Amazon will buy EA, this might mix things up. LoL
@IronMan30 The article yes, but looking how miss information is being spread in the past years I am never sure if the comments are meant to be as a joke or does the user actually believe it. 😁
@Ventilator it has less to do with size but more exclusivity. Microsoft has been known with this strategy. Office, Internet Explorer, Intel, online services and so on. Fact is Microsoft is a monopoly that damaged consumers and competition. It’s all there just have to look.
As history does repeat itself in a form and another. I can see Microsoft stepping back from hardware and offer only a service with their game “software” IPs.
Never played this series, would love to! Just Have to figure out how I can play this “cloud based game” on my mobile console the Nintendo Switch on the road.
@Bret Yes! I really want to like the grip but it or I have some issues with it. I usually don’t do video but I am actually thinking about crating a short review video on the grip.
@SigmaNoire I don’t know, this article is more positive about NFT then the Truth. We have been looking into NFT over as year as in offering the Type of solution for out clients. As sustainable company we still think this is not a good solution for the consumer or environment.
In shot, you need more CO2 for NFT then Ording the poster from a online store that get delivered to your door. Also NFT has major benefit for the sales not the consumer.
There has been allot of noise about how video game companies not being pro-consumer. Well NFT is definitely has no benefit for the consumer.
@minecraftemery I can imagine the console has to be online to ramp up how much time it was played.
I bet allot of consoles that kids have are not connected to the net. Could be a reason or I am just wrong and people just buy Minecraft and don’t play it. 🤷♂️
@Rayquaza2510 Yeah true… still surprised how people purchase games.
But it would be cool if their was a dedicated App for game deals. I wonder if this would be Possible to create a App that would pull the information from the eShop.

Re: Nightdive Studios Wants To Remaster Titles Like Eternal Darkness, But Hasn't Had Any Luck With Nintendo
Let’s be honest, Eternal Darkness doesn’t need a remaster. If something then a remake.
Not sure if they can handle that.

Re: Konami Is Committed To NFTs In Order To Preserve Beloved Content As "Commemorative Art"
@BloodNinja emulating does not help preservation it helps the consumer to stay hooked paying a fee. Wait and see.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Mastery Of Physical Game Sales Hides Limited Digital Growth
What I don’t understand people cry for game preservation! But still suggest Digital Media over Physical.
Gamers want GoldenEye well it’s still playable on my N64 as it is meant to be.

So this is a fighting game, button smasher?
Re: PlayStation Boss Jim Ryan Says "More Acquisitions" Are Coming
Wow is this the middle finget from Sony to Microsoft and they guessed Microsoft future roadmap?
Man let’s just hope Nintendo picks up Capcom. Before a disaster happened to them.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Developer Retro Studios Is Seeking New Team Members
The hiring announcements only mean one thing.
The company Retro Studio is still aktive.
We should take that for granted.

Only one knows…
Re: Mortal Kombat's 2021 Movie Reboot Is Getting A Sequel
Considering the circumstances the movie wasn’t actually that bad. It actually matches the last game regarding the story quality.
As with any other entertainment form, you want better show it and support it.
Re: Microsoft Buys Activision Blizzard, Now Owns Call Of Duty And Crash Bandicoot
@Ventilator I thought we where talking games here?
Sony not reliable? Still more reliable then most of the TV manufacturers from the US! lol
I also had a buddy that complained about 3D not working but issues was more the user, since it worked fine for me.
Myself also not a big Sony fan but still they produce good quality and innovate with their products.

@Ventilator blame Sony for Microsoft decisions?
Sounds like a excuse but not a reason.

Re: Back Page: After Spending $70B On Activision Blizzard... What If Microsoft Buys Nintendo Next?
@IronMan30 he can, but it won't help since Bowser has no say so.

Re: The New ZenGrip Pro For Nintendo Switch OLED Might Be Worth A Look
@Bret Yes!
I really want to like the grip but it or I have some issues with it.
I usually don’t do video but I am actually thinking about crating a short review video on the grip.

Re: Accessory Maker Satisfye Has Released A New ZenGrip For Nintendo Switch OLED
I might consider this one since the recent Skull N Co NeoGrip was disappointing regarding its grip design and quality.

Re: Nintendo's eShop Experienced Outages Over Christmas (Again)
@SuperChris01 also not expert but I don’t think eshop runs on their net code network/software.
Re: Nintendo's eShop Experienced Outages Over Christmas (Again)
No issues here! The issue must be the bad Infrastructure. 😂
Re: Best Of 2021: Nintendo And The Industry Needs To Get Serious About Game Preservation
Please keep I mind the only way you keep game preservation is by physical media.
Yes Cloud based media I has nothing to do preservation. So supporting Gamepass for example is the wrong direction.

It’s also odd that Mario Kart isn’t on the list.
Is this information what is okayed with the two weeks?

Re: Metroid Dread Developer MercurySteam Announces Its Next Game, Codenamed "Project Iron"
@NWC again I like to know how Mercury Stream treated their employees (not workers) like trash.
Or are maybe mistaking Mercury Stream with Activision?
Re: Metroid Dread Developer MercurySteam Announces Its Next Game, Codenamed "Project Iron"
@NWC or fact you have bad taste.
You know it is okay have your own opinion, no need to proselytize it.
That’s the issue we have with everything today. “Looking at the states” 😬
Re: Nintendo Has Updated Its Switch Online App To Version 1.14.0, See What's Included
@Rayquaza2510
Yeah true… still surprised how people purchase games.
But it would be cool if their was a dedicated App for game deals. I wonder if this would be Possible to create a App that would pull the information from the eShop.
Re: Metroid Dread Developer MercurySteam Announces Its Next Game, Codenamed "Project Iron"
@NWC oh okay! I agree but a opinion doesn’t turn into a fact
I thought it was the misunderstanding in the public how people receive credit in the media world.
