@Rayquaza2510 How does this surprise anyone in time where the majority rather have a subscription model and prefer online media vs physical media. This is no new issue.
Physical is the way, if you want keep playing your games the next 20 years!
@thinkhector that’s one way to see it but don’t forget digital content can also be modified with a DRM or who know with the future of NFT and blockchain this can easily adopted.
Physical media is far superior when it comes to preservation. ☺️
@thinkhector Not sure how that will become a issue when you download something vs having it stored on the cloud. Besides DLC is one thing and the Game itself is another. The Game is still playable. Fact is digital content is not for ever vs Analog ala books, film one even vinyl. Cartridges where good solution back in the day as long the consoles or cartridges itself don’t degrade.
@MortalKombat2007 Yeah I already have Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time. Unfortunate it is still wrapped up and unopened. Backlog is a b3-y8tch. 30FPS game don’t bother me with my trained veteran gaming eyes.
@Nintendo4Sonic why is this a joke? I recall mentioning that this merge could mean shutdown for many section and IPs? Don’t forget they want to cater in the direction of NFT, Cloud Gaming, digital media and services. You know, more control of your wallet. 😂
@Specter_of-the_OLED As soon Disney Marvel give them a go I can see this coming sooner then we expect. You have to Love license politics… wait until cloud gaming comes. 🙈
I think we need to be realistic here. I bet Nintendo has asked around for games to put on their service. With the experience with the Virtual Console, they probably have decided to sale the games themselves for much higher price. If look, all the gems are available for sale for the Switch. As long as people are willing to pay for them, why would they give Nintendo the licenses?

Re: PSA: You Might Not Need To Unbox The New Smash Bros. amiibo To Use It
Cool idea except that you still have the ugly packaging as a cage.
It’s like having a laptop and keeping the original protection sheet on the screen. 🤷♂️
Re: Fans Have Created Their Own Metroid 64, And It Looks Incredible
I guess this proof that it’s a good thing that Nintendo didn’t develop a N64 version of Metroid. 😂
