Re: Nintendo Announces 'Virtual Game Cards' For Switch, Unlocking Digital Lending

Overzeal

People are really underselling just how incredible this is.

1. More control over what should be considered ownership.

2. Only need one copy per single player game per household.

3. The 2 weeks thing is both for Nintendo to not lose out on duplicate sales completely but also because recents bad actors from stealing. Like imagine going to a gaming convention and the dev can now personally give you a two week trial of their game. They don’t need to worry about making a proper demo which would cost time and money and you can decide if you want to pay for it. A lot of shorter games can easily be beaten in this time frame as well.

As long as the 2 week loan doesn’t do something stupid and delete your save this is revolutionary and I fully expect MS and Sony to copy in some way.

I agree with most people that Nintendo will probably announce one more remaster for Switch 1 and that will be mostly it.

Honestly my guess is either Wind Waker or Oracle. Maybe if we get lucky something from Fire Emblem, I’d replay Awakening in HD for sure.

As for 3rd party, this feels like the last chance for XDive Offline, anything Mega Man will be greatly appreciated. Star Force collection isn’t likely but I’d buy that day one.

For my “out there” picks, Custom Robo port. Fossil Fighter Remake. PMD: Explorers of Sky remake. Bravely Default 3. A new RPG from the Omori devs. CoD: Black Ops 7. Pokemon Live/Pocket Console Edition. Final Fantasy 11 or 14. Fallout 1/2/NV. Kirby Super Star Ultra Deluxe
