Re: Nintendo Responds To Wii And DSi Shop Channel Outages

That’s good to know, but I guess that’s only good while we still are able to redownload our purchases. I really hope Nintendo will add a purchase option for retro games on their Switch Online subscription with the option to download our purchased games on older console for free like what Sony just announced. But given it’s Nintendo I have little expectation that they would do or even consider this.

Compared to Microsoft and Sony, it’s terrible how Nintendo handles purchased games carried to the next system. Basically if my Wii U dies everything not only from the Wii U but the Wii die with it. Nintendo’s competitors allow users to redownload purchased games on the next generation console without forcing the content on the previous console to be deleted. It’s unfortunate our purchases from the Wii U cannot be carried over to the Switch, basically typing all paid downloads to the fate of the console they were purchased on.

I do miss the earlier decades where games don’t just have unique regional artwork but manuals and maps (And guide books sold separately) as well. The only major great thing about modern game releases is the simultaneous launch for most major titles. I remember having to wait months for Paper Mario, Pokémon Gold and Silver and Zelda Majora’s Mask to come out after the original Japanese release.
