Nintendo going old school again.

 

[n64coder]

I went to look for Napster because of this thread. It seems that it's actually Rhapsody. I guess Nintendo thought that Napster had better brand recognition than Rhapsody?

 

[Sojiro]

Money good!
Napster bad!

The biggest news about this, is the fact Napster is still around. Not a name I have heard for a damn long time.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Year of dreams continues.

Oh God... Lol I remember trying to explain to my cousins that these aren't music files, but of course they download em anyways.

 

[Strangelove77]

Goddamn was the Internet terrible in the mid-90s.

 

[Hermii]

Nintendo really is all about that nostalgia.

Had to read the threat title a couple of times before it sank in.

 

[Strangelove77]

Nintendo updated their homepage for this news.

That's one of the worst things I've ever seen, and I've seen some shit.

 

[Chinbo37]

I think I read about this on my friend's Xanga.

[Acquiescence]

Well if you think about it, it's a pretty fitting combination.

 

[qualitydisc]

Seriously who at Nintendo thought this was going to sound like an impressive press release?

 

[pswii60]

Got confused for a minute there. I was sure they had been bought by and then merged into Rhapsody. Had to go and double check as well. Rhapsody still uses the name Napster and it's logo for things. It's a brand that people remember. The whole service is similar to Spotify if I recall as well.

Napster might be the brand they still use in Europe vs Rhapsody in the US. Napster.com just forwards to Rhapsody.com here. The logo is still at the bottom of the pages but that's it.

For those interested in checking it out.

F that. OG Napster was amazing.

 

[nelo_inc]

I only use Youtube & Crunchyroll on Wii U,32 Gb is nothing!

I might try this,but i'm not expecting much out of it!

 

[Teletraan1]

Probably blocked by Metallica from coming to NA.

 

[deleted]

Napster isn't that bad a choice if you want to use Spotify, but can't get Spotify.

Was at a party recently that streamed via Napster.

The question is - how is this implemented? Can it stream in the background while playing games?

 

[Captain Smoker]

Napster is still a thing?

It got a relaunch.

It's the same as Spotify currently. Or Apple Music / Deezer, etc.

Probably not the largest service, cooporates with Sony Music, Universal and Warner Music.

 

[DR2K]

Thankfully the HDD size is more than adequate to handle those mp3s

Questioned this above but I think this might confirm it. Thanks for the link. Naspter as a brand is still used in Europe. In the US or just North America at large it isn't but instead it's called Rhapsody. That's why this might appear strange to people.

 

[Son Of D]

I honestly thought that it was just some indie game called Napster.

 

[Slayven]

Well if you think about it, it's a pretty fitting combination.

Dead platform for a dead platform?

Next an app that allows you to take screenshots and share them via Angelfire

I can speak as European and for the 99% of the Europeans, this is still strange.
