@Kokusho So the fact I can get physical games 40 to 70%+ cheaper than what it would cost me on the eshop, that is not a rational reason?
Or the fact I own 3 3DS XL's for me and my two kids, if I only bought digital I would have to pay full price for 3 copies of the same game. So that is not a rational reason either?
Sounds bad to me! I am not made of money, so digital purchases are out for me. I get 20% off buying new from Amazon, I can save up to 50% buying used from Amazon Warehouse.
I own three 3DS's for my self and my two kids, so this is another reason I don't buy digital because you can't share the games between the three of us.
Nintendo just doesn't get - I am a Nintendo Fanboy who has owned every system Nintendo has, but they are making it harder and harder for me to continue my love of Nintendo.
Also, with Microsoft I only need to buy one copy of a game for my two Xbox Ones and only one copy of a lot of games for my PS3, PS Vita, Vita TV and PSP.
But Nintendo I need buy 3 copies for my 3 3DS's and a forth if it is also available on the Wii U,
@IceClimbers My wallet would disagree with you. I have bought tons of games from Microsoft that were anywhere between 75% to 50% off. I have also bought many from Sony with the same discount percentages.
I can count on one hand how many I have bought from Nintendo. I buy almost all of my Nintendo games from Amazon Warehouse Deals. I can usually get games for 40 to 50% off. Nintendo just does not like my money like Microsoft and Sony does.
This will be the first Nintendo system I will not be buying at launch. I just don't trust Nintendo at the moment.
I bought a gaming PC and two Xbox Ones recently, so I am all good. I will wait a year or so before I decide on the NX, especially if it comes out this year.
The reason we have a Wii U, 3 3DS XL's, PS3, PS Vita, 2 Xbox Ones, a NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Cube, Sega Genesis, PS2, PS One, Sega CD, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, 3 Dsi XL's, PSP a couple of different Game Boys, and 3 gaming PC's is because of me and not my 13 and 11 year olds.
I have two PC sign ons, have it for PS3, Vita, Kindle Fire, Fire TV, Ipad, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Windows 10. Do I really need it for Wii U? If it had Gamepad inventory management I might of considered. $30 is a little steep, since it is so late to the party it should be no more than $14.99.
I am a Nintendo Fanboy, but if the NX releases in 2016 I will not be buying one.
On Black Friday I bought a 2nd Xbox One, so me and the kids don't have to play split screen mutliplayer. While the Wii U just sits there collecting dust.

Good Job Nintendo! I support you 100%, all Youtubers and Twitchers need to be gone.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Wants Us to Download More and Move On From Discs - Will It Work?
Hey Nintendo, I own 3 3ds xls. Will you allow me to buy one digital copy and play it on all three of my 3DS's?
If the answer is no, I will never go digital.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Wants Us to Download More and Move On From Discs - Will It Work?
@River3636 I can't disagree with you more.

Re: Poll: Are You Ready to Download More of Your Retail Games From the eShop?
@erv Buying physical cost me way less than buying digital. So I am confused by your statement.
I also have never been inconvenienced by owning physical copies of games. So once again I am confused.
Re: Pokkén Tournament Punishes Players Who Rage Quit
Awesome news! But I think the penalty should be worse.
Re: Feature: Breaking Down the My Nintendo Loyalty Economy
This sucks! I would much rather have Club Nintendo.
Nintendo is getting less and less of my time and money, and that pains me deeply.
I just want to play great Nintendo games. I dont use Miiverse, Twiiter, Facebook and will not be putting any Nintendo apps on my phone.
All that matters is the games, could care less about the rest.
Re: The My Nintendo Rewards 'Missions' Show What's Needed to Earn Freebies and Discounts
I don't use facebook or twitter or Miiverse. I only go to the Eshop if I need to do updates or I know I want to buy something.
95% of the time I only buy physical and I only use my Wii U and 3DS to actually play my games.
So for me, the new rewards system SUCKS! Rather have Club Nintendo Back!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th March (North America)
Pokken Tournament is on its way from Amazon with a 20% discount. I would of not bought it if it were not for the discount.
Re: Exclusive Content and Modes Outlined for Pokkén Tournament, No DLC Currently Planned
Can't wait, love Tekken and Pokemon, and just can't get into Smash Bros.
This is the fighting game I have been looking for.
Re: New North American Nintendo Selects Range Emerges in Retailer Listings
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is $15 and Mario Party: Island Tour is $10 on the Nintendo Store website.
Re: Here's How Much Of Your Wii U's Internal Memory Pokkén Tournament Will Gobble Up
Already have it pre ordered from Amazon, two of my all time favs Pokemon and Tekken.
I have really not been able to get into Smash Bros, have been waiting impatiently for this game since I first heard about it.
Re: Research Highlights That Older Gamers Drift Away From Competitive Gaming But Still Enjoy Strategy
I'm 45 and right now I am playing Forza 6, Forza Horizon 2, The Crew Wild Run, Diablo III, Yokai Watch and Final Fantasy Explorers.
I recently attempted to play Black Ops III, Star Wars Battlefront, Fallout 4, Just Cause 3 and GTA 5 - I just can't get in to them.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th February (North America)
Nope! What a sad sick joke.
Time to stop even paying attention.

Re: IHS Technology Adds to Speculation of an NX Portable Release in 2016
For the first time ever, I will be taking a wait and see approach with Nintendo.
I will not be buying any new system at launch, I think I will wait at least a year.
Still have tons of games to play on Wii U, 3DS, Xbox One and PC to keep me busy.
Re: Final Fantasy Explorers Producer Explains What Inspired its Design
The lack of 3D means nothing. Its a gimmick that has long passed.
I will purchasing this game.
Re: Resellers Rejoice, Hyrule Warriors Legends Is Getting A Save Data Reset Option
What about a home that has 3 people 1 adult and 2 kids who all play and have 3ds's. Why should we have to buy 3 copies of the same game?
All games should have 3 save slots and all be erasable.
Re: SEGA 3D Classics Collection is Heading to Retail in the Americas on 26th April

Re: Another 17 Games Get North American eShop Discounts in the Winter Warm-Up Sale
I just bought two copies of Freakyforms Deluxe: Your Creations, Alive! at Gamestop for $1.99 a piece.
Re: Another 17 Games Get North American eShop Discounts in the Winter Warm-Up Sale
If it wasn't so sad, it might actually be funny.
Nintendo takes a penny off the price and calls it a sale.
Re: Editorial: Nintendo and Virtual Reality Aren't a Good Fit in 2016

Re: GDC Survey Shows Declining Interest From Developers in Wii U and 3DS
I love my Wii U and 3DS and I have a lot of great games to play of them.
PS4 is a freaking JOKE! Still have my PS3 hooked up along with Vita TV. Still buying games for both.
I recently bought an Xbox One and LOVING IT. I hated the Xbox 360.
I have no desire for VR, the PS4 or the for that matter the NX at the moment.
I will wait at least a year before I buy into the NX.
Re: GDC Survey Shows Declining Interest From Developers in Wii U and 3DS
VR is the next 3D. It will never take off.

Microsoft and Steam have no problem taking my money.

Good thing Microsoft wants my money, because Nintendo sure the heck doesn't.
Hey, Nintendo look at Microsoft to figure out what a sale is.
Re: Nintendo of America Confirms Its Black Friday eShop Cyber Deals
3D Outrun looks about it.
I just traded my copy of Rune Factory 4 to Amazon for $23. Kids were not happy, maybe I might buy it again. But I doubt it.
I would love to have Sports Club!
