Because we actually want to own the stuff we purchase and not be restricted to being trapped online.
They can get all the deals they want but if they don't have the development talent it's pointless.
Thats what Im saying. I saw the game at E3 and could see that it was the same as the other Spiderman games just prettier and polished. It's not a bad game but its not a game changer. Mentioning that only steps on the shoes of a bunch of fanboys with sensitive feet. A games weaknesses can be mentioned without intentions of running the game into ground people.
Yet, it's still selling. Why??!!!
"WiiUPro", couldn't have said it better myself!
Its software lineup was cut short. The Switch acquired whatever had been developed prior for the WiiU and WiiU owners got 1 last game, Breath of the Wild.
@pleasuretokill
My sentiments exactly.
That'll work.
"Im still trying to figure out why Assassins Creed fans want an Assassins Creed game".
There, it's fixed.
What you're saying certainly applies to me. I've funded them since I was a kid. They're a petty greedy corporation and I've been officially turned off since the dumping of the WiiU only to release the same damn system in a new format and re-release ports of the WiiU's games.
Yes, Nintendo has every right to protect their IP's, in the same breath they are some greedy SOB's.
On a legal scale what you're saying is solid, but looking at this topic from the perspective of an older gamer who has been there since the beginning of Nintendo when they were just a 3rd party developer I feel differently. My feelings do not fall in line with your base argument of legalities so there is no need to even argue about that. Im a first hand witness to the fact that games go away never to return and the primary thing that has kept them alive is the emulation scene. The emulati...
Seriously!! And they've been doing it time and time and time again, generation after generation. They primarily appeal to a new generation of youth not burned out on Mario, Mario Kart, Zelda, and Smash. Then they rely on the nostalgia of older players to back up the new generation. Then throw in revamped under powered (day one profit) hardware, mixed with the only thing that holds it all together, solid 1st party IPs. Outside of that Nintendo has a business model that's designed to ke...
Because the general public knows nothing about emulating. Which is the main reason roms and sites like Emuparadise cost Nintendo nothing.
Yes, we understand that they own them, but they are assholes. Games dating back to the 80's that have been distributed on consoles and handhelds that have come out over the last 30+ years. Copyrights need to permanently expire after 30 years, that's what I say.
If obtaining the games were as easy as you make it seem then these sites wouldn't even exist.
You can buy some but not all, and certainly not most. That's why rom sites exist. This is an argument that has gone on for ages. Claims of piracy destroying a "billion" dollar industry.
Everything you're saying is true, but still the fact that Nintendo specifically seeks to stop places like Emuparadise in and of itself is concerning. Gaming as a hobby is loved and adored in such a manner that its community treats games as timeless works of art. Nintendo's actions practically comes off as a mass book burning that seems to steer the industry in a direction that will cause these timeless treasures to all but disappear.
Which has been the same pattern for Nintendos last 2 consoles. First party hits (although they're really familiar) and third party ports.
I've said this for a while now, AC is the most cookie cutter video game series ever created. Wash, rinse, repeat. Ubisoft creates a new engine and then changes the visual aesthetics every year throughout an entire console generation, Voila! New AC around Christmas with bugs from AC1, Yaaayyy!! Crap franchise.
