If you mean not being as part of subscription, it wouldn’t be good in the long run to lose the save data when they end the service. If you mean the price is too high, $20 is not bad. I think one of the people who leaked this release to be on eshop said $30. Outside of not being on NSO or the price I have no idea what greed refers to. I’m not defending Nintendo and I agree they are greedy when it comes to a lot of things but this release I 100% support. It’s what fans have been asking for since NSO launched.

I think back then Microsoft and even Sony had the right and better approach to how the digital downloads are treated. For Xbox, games you downloaded are tied to your account and can be downloaded to a second system you own under the same account and they carried over to the next gen system. Sony had almost similar approach although the PS3 downloads didn’t carry over to PS4 but I think carried over to Vita.

The Wii U upgrade was very anti consumer because on top of paying the upgrade fee (Wii U owners who never bought the same game on the Wii paid the same price as the people who paid on the original Wii and didn’t have to pay anything additional), all the downloads had to be transferred over to the Wii U to not get charged again the full price. I can’t help but feel this was a deliberate tactic and Nintendo could have followed Microsoft and Sony’s approach but chose not to.

I think in this regard it’s better that we got the subscription model, imagine having to transfer everything to Switch, pay another upgrade fee then again to the Switch 2 if they retained the virtual console model.

After buying a physical copy of Maiden of Black Water and posted my comment here I just realized from reading online that the expensive physical copies are actually Asian imports and the West only received a digital release. The cover art is all in English and fooled me into thinking it was a US release. I’m glad the new remake is getting a physical release outside of Asia.
