Re: Nintendo Switch Online Game Vouchers Might Be Returning To North America

@Shadowkiller97 because the ability to download will also eventually disappear. This was on top of Sony cutting access to the PS3 and Vita PS Stores as well. The Wii eshop help page explicitly says that downloading owned content is not guaranteed in the future (https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27560/~/wii-shop-channel-discontinuation)

Physical games can be stored and saved, or even repaired. Digital games have no consumer protection. Corporations can steal them back at any time for any reason. And if Sony and Nintendo won't honor past purchases, I have no faith in the digital ecosystem.

Re: Video: One Month In, What Are Your Predictions For The Switch's 2023?

After Fire Emblem, Advance Wars is the only 1st party game I am excited for. I hope it actually releases.

I'm not a big Zelda fan. I'll play the new one; BOTW was fun if a bit uninspired. Maybe this time the open world will be more compelling.

Here's hoping for Pokemon DLC, either for Arceus or S/V

Otherwise, some Metroid would be great. GBA games on NSO? I can dream of Golden Sun, right?

Not sure what else Nintendo has that I would be excited for. But its certainly not the 25th Kirby game released in 3 years, and Mario platformers don't do much for me.

Re: Talking Point: Does Nintendo's Next Console Have To Be 'Another' Switch?

The only reason I play most games on Switch, even when they run worse, is because it is portable. If Nintendo does not make another portable, then why would I ever choose to play non-1st party games on the platform? It would go back to a Wii U situation, where I'd always play all 3rd party releases on PS/Xbox and only turn on the Nintendo console 2 or 3 times a year for 1st party releases.

I cannot imagine Nintendo would be that short sighted. I can't be the only one like that
