Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Right to Take Its Time With 'Digitalization' in Gaming, But Should Revolutionise the eShop Now

With all due respect to solutions and opinions in regards to this matter, I think our notions of convenience are rather spoiled. I see the conveniences of unified accounts, unlocking the region locking, and all that stuff, but they're still conveniences that make spoiled-rotten consumers, making us an army of Farugas chanting "I want it now!" This especially annoys me with opinions toward the Virtual Console and pricing. Honestly, does anyone remember how much NES, SNES, GBA, etc. costed back in the day? The range of $4.99-$7.99 is, in my opinion, less than what they should be pricing for certain games. Maybe I sound like an old geezer, but all the talk about inferior tech, inconvenient digital-whatnots really bugs me because, even though I like HD, I have used non-HD TVs to play games for most of my life, and you know what differences I see in quality of games, movies, etc.? Close to none. Like I said, I don't mean to poke at these opinions and solutions, but the conveniences that are wanted are still spoiling conveniences, in my mind. We used to roll with the inconveniences of cartridges and cathode TVs, now we talk or whine about the minor inconveniences of a digital age.
