Re: Nintendo's Profit During The Switch Generation Is Absolutely Wild

WheresWaveRace

There is another factor here that makes these numbers even more astounding and that is that console and game prices haven’t followed inflation. Ie a switch today costs approximately the same as N64 (launch priced £250) back in the day. Same with the games. Turok launched at £70 IIRC. So the fact that the profits - even after adjusting for inflation - are so much higher when the tech in real terms is much cheaper blows my mind. Strong work Ninty!

The original 30 day time limit was genius! Such pressure. This was Miyamoto’s original vision and for me it’s the best because of it.

Re: Creators Of New Switch Emulator 'Suyu' Hope To Avoid Nintendo's Wrath

So please explain why would I as a legal owner of a game and legal owner of a console to play said game want to emulate it on PC? So I can mod it? Improve it? But then I’m not playing the original game and the creators’ original vision. I’ve got the console. This I don’t understand. And expecting to be able to play a game on every Nintendo device ever because I once bought the licence is unbelievable. You bought the game. Keep the game. Look after your console and game, and guess what you can play said game. Congratulations. Why won’t my VHS collection play on every AV device ever? Why won’t I always get everything ever and more? Why do business look after their IP? Why do businesses need to make money and not give me stuff for free for ever and ever.
