@jsty3105 at first I was kind of sad but the honest truth is we're building something that's an art form at the end of the day and it's meant to be experienced, and just because somebody can't afford it I don't think that should necessarily stop them from experiencing it. Everybody has their own unique life and priorities and what have you so I can imagine somebodies situation where they wouldn't be able to afford it but still want to play it and I can't impose DRM in my game because at the end of the day when it comes to preservation it just doesn't sit right with me.

I'll just stick to emulation like any sane person would do who's not brainwashed by corporations. It's super sad to see how many people are just completely okay with being bent over by corporations.

@ShadLink I didn't say anything about it being right, you just can't hold digital content to the same standards as physical objects. They should never be compared because it's impossible to compare them equally. When it comes to games that keep getting re-releases that's a whole other can of worms, I think digital games should come with universal game keys so within a certain period of time if a game is re-released you just get it because you paid for the previous versions. At the very least if that became mandatory you would see a lot less releases and some actual innovation.

@ShadLink you're picking very specific outliers to prove what exactly? I'm also developing a game and I had to accept that a percentage of people will steal my game. It's something you absolutely have to accept as a game developer/designer. We don't consider that lost sales because those people were very likely never going to buy the game in the first place.

@jsty3105 GOG is such a tiny percentage of the total games in existence. My wife and I also support GOG we have a bunch of stuff from there.

@ShadLink anything over 15 years old is fair game, that's plenty of time for developers and publishers to make money.

Switch 2 Lite can help combat price increases. My guess is that they're going to announce it soon.

Gen 1 has seen enough love over the years. Gen 2 needs a full 3D reimagining.

@Jumwa Nintendo's only advantage is their game quality is generally higher than other companies for the most part.

@Jumwa no that's not true, just generation ago they had no problem doing that and also keeping all the people they have. That's a bs excuse and you know it. If they really cared about gamers they would be helping us instead of telling us price increases are coming.

@Jumwa The thing is though they're not wrong, Nintendo could afford to lose a bit on each console to make it more affordable. They've only stopped doing this in recent years. If they want people to invest in the hardware they need to be willing to sacrifice a little bit. Without us the gamers they would literally be nothing.

I only want it if it has cross play.

@StewdaMegaManNerd it's the principal, just because it's something small doesn't mean it's right

I'm just going to put this out there, most cell phones can emulate nfc. Regardless of the content that's locked behind amiibo it's not ethical for Nintendo to lock content like this.

Awesome game, such a hidden gem. I got lucky and won a copy during the summer.

@Lizuka honestly if they were smart they would take the first three Metroid games and remake them all in a collection using the engine for Dread. Though I would suggest that they use Zero Mission as the Metroid 1 game since the original Metroid 1 has aged very terribly and is not fun compared to every other game in the series.

@Morsel I don't know if I've ever considered a Metroid game hard, though Prime 4 does have an easy mode.

Most of us posting here will either be replaced by AI or be displaced by it. No one truly realizes what's coming.

@nukatha That is pretty sweet.

Hopefully the Metroid curse doesn't hit again.

I think the big issue with Wilds is that it lost the heart of what made the game Monster Hunter. It's not a bad game it's just not as good as Rise or previous ones, it feels like it was too ambitious. Also I feel like the areas are way too big for what they are.

They may have the switch 2 Firmware source code, and if happened then that's it. They'll be able to comb through it and find all the security holes and then custom firmware is on its way.

In Canada the system is still ridiculously expensive so probably not until there's a lite system.

Saga hurt themselves by making it so expensive imo.

All the DLC for this game should have been free imo.

This is nostalgia at its best lol.

@Jujuman every game is inspired by previous games, it is wholly impossible to have a fully unique game without using some of what's been done in the past.

My best friend is making a video game and one of his mechanics is summoning an enemy to fight for you shortly. He's doesn't give a ***** and I don't think anybody else should and just make your goddamn games the way you want to. Not to mention being Canadian makes it way harder to act on that anyway.

Nope, still have the ROMS on my hacked Wii U.

@StewdaMegaManNerd there's a YouTuber who's remaking Mega Man legends in unity, it's quite impressive.

More lame nostalgia grabs.

This is the first Nintendo generation I said no to. Far too expensive of a system.

System is still too expensive, thankfully the sales have slowed. Maybe all of these price hikes will backfire on all these companies doing this bs.

They're nerfing the world just like every other company.

Regardless of what he says games are indeed art, every aspect of a game is art.

@KritterXD true, I guess even my hard drives with full game libraries will die eventually too. I'll just have to find something with more longevity to store it all on.

@Polley001 Not the point, they will go down some day and when they do it will all be more grabage to polute our planet with.

They also sell a dockless system in Japan and it is way cheaper.

@Ulysses Ya, I haven't worked in over a year because of my disabilities, we just have 1 income and it sucks.

Damn some of you must have loads of spare cash lol.

Just take the summer off and relax, that is why there is employment insurance.

Just remember you're going to own nothing and you're going to like it.

@MrDocena Not true, the ability to redownload them is going away too at some point for all your listed platfroms.

https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3764/~/how-to-redownload-wii-shop-channel-content-on-wii

If you read all of it you will see I am right.

@MrDocena if they turn the servers off that you're downloading your game from you can no longer access it with the game-key card. It becomes a piece of e-waste.

@MrDocena They come out looking like the good guy even though they created the situation with the way it is now and then releasing their full games on there. I'm imagining in two to three years we'll see only key card games. Doug Bowser even said they plan on doing physical in the immediate future which is very specific wording. A lot of these other Publishers don't want you to own your games so having a lifespan on them is what they want and that's how the key cards are going to really work. If that publisher decides they don't want people to have access to that game 10 years from now they can do that just fine and there's nothing you can do.

There's a recompilation of this being worked on, it's going to be awesome to see a native PC port.

I mean their plan is quite obvious, Nintendo hasn't been shy or queit about hating the second hand market and how they don't get any revenue from it. It's pretty obvious from an intelligent person's standpoint that this is them muddying the waters and making it harder for secondhand sellers.

@Razzy I most definitely did read it and that's just a scare tactic since they don't have a legal leg to stand on to destroy hardware that YOU own.

Not having online functionality is disabling the Nintendo switch in their own wording.

But Wart only exists in dreams.
