Re: Fitness Boxing 2 To Be Removed From The eShop This November

The same reason Guitar Hero and Rock Band died out. The music licenses were so expensive, that without the equipment they were loses.

When the licenses died, they had to make a new game and renegotiate those licenses.

There are games and movies that sit in limbo because of music licenses alone.

@cra1g0s let it sit in a drawer for too long and that battery goes. Capacitors die out. Look at the WiiU, people shelved them and found out 6 months later they just don't boot up anymore.

Storage will die without a doubt, and once the store is gone, you can't get anything back anymore. You didn't just lose your saves, you lost access to the games themselves.

@larryisaman this!
It does not NEED it. I honestly wouldn't expect them to worry about cartridge games. The digital, download, games though, NEED it. We already know one day the store will close. The storage system we will have will die. Those games we bought will just be gone.
Steam doesn't wipe our library just because we bought a better computer.

@Pillowpants @CharlieGirl do you remember the computer games at the time? Everyone was trying to go live action FMV games. A lot of them were really good. CDi tried to be the live action machine. End of the day, the games were too straightforward. Either you played the whole game in live action or you saw outcomes in love action.

Who wants to play a game that ends not because you died by going left in the hall, but because they didn't have FMV to get you out of that left turn?

@eleven I agree. There is no reason to go GBC with this and have the character sprites be only 2 colors. It's honestly a bit ridiculous.

And they are using Kickstarter money on top of that easy and safe design idea? Not going to bother with this one unless they have an updated styling option. If I wanted to play with 4 colors on the screen, I have plenty of old games I can already do that with.
