@backup368 Yeh, I'm done with this conversation, you are definitely not even reading what I'm saying, or even trying to add to the convo. Yes of course we know they have until march to download but that's the problem. If someone is in the situation(which is very prevalent right now) in which they don't have the money for the game or console by march, then they lose their chance to buy the game simply because Nintendo thought to limit the sale of a digital game. March is in 6 months, maybe in your little bubble you have the money to splurge on anything you want, but right now there are a lot of people that don't have the money to be able to buy things that aren't necessities and they should not have to miss out on a game just because the company is too stupid to understand why a limited digital release is stupid. Especially for a game that you really can't get right now unless you either A. emulate or B. Buy an old console to play the games on, but even then why does someone have to go with a lower version of something just because a company shafted them. Makes no sense.

@backup368 nah not for the long term tho, espicially since you have to remember the switch is still in high demand and Nintendo can't keep stock with all the scalpers. And then the added bonus of people not having money with the pandemic and all. If they don't have a switch by the end of the buying period then they miss out. For people who have a switch right now and can buy right away it not a problem. But overall its just classic Nintendo anti-consumerism tactics. It's like Nintendo wants people to keep pirating a emulating there stuff lol. Even though they were the company who did the most work with taking the big rom sites down.

@backup368 okay nvm you are not seeing the point. Forget that they are even releasing a physical version because that's not the point. Limiting the time to buy a digital version of a game is just plain dumb. Especially if they don't like people to emulate their games. Limiting a physical release is fine companies do it all the time, but doing that to a digital release to a new console is just plain dumb.

@backup368 Um no, that makes no sense at all. As a company, Nintendo cares the most for there home IPs(Like all other gaming companies). Them selling these games on a newer console means more money for them. Especially since re-releases have been so popular. And yes if they wanted to do a half-ass statement to say that it is limited physically because it for a special anniversary event then fine, but limiting the time for digital makes absolutely no sense and can't be explained any other way then classic Nintendo stupidity.

Seriously who thought that this was even a good idea, you would think Nintendo would have learned their lesson with scalpers when it came to the switch. Also, there really is no good reason they could pull out there behind for why this had to be a limited release anyway.....
