@Shade_Koopa What are you gonna do with 1000 games?

More uninspired garbage. Why did the Switch become the place to dump so much shovelware?

What a great thing to see, first thing in the morning.

@link422007 ok

@link422007 I don’t know why you feel the need to do their PR work.

@Snow-Dust I personally boycotted EA, Ubisoft, and Capcom for over a decade due to their shady business practices. I totally understand where you are coming from. Though, I broke for the Mega Man Legacy collections.

@Equinox No.

@littlebigmario Tinfoil hat incoming......

@purpleibby I don’t know why you keep jumping down this one guys throat for personally boycotting Nintendo. It’s one guy. If he doesn’t buy their games, Nintendo won’t notice. I highly doubt that enough people will band together to boycott Nintendo products in such a way that a multimillion dollar company will have to start firing employees. I think it’s a great idea to boycott if a company doesn’t support your values. It’s the reason I haven’t bought an EA, Ubisoft, or Capcom game in over a decade. Those companies are doing just fine financially, but I’m happy in knowing I didn’t contribute to it.

@Heavyarms55 Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with the "handshake" feature. I just plug mine into the TV and it works. Real basic. What's it supposed to do?

I don't ever plan on using a subscription service to play things on my Switch that I already own on other consoles. I'm still rooting for an N64 mini. Hopefully with a much better controller!

@Heavyarms55 What issues are you having with HDMI splitters? I got some $6 thing from eBay and it's been working solid for almost 3 years.

WOW. Looks amazing!

@BionicDodo Got it! That makes more sense. Thanks!

@InklingLegend You’re good man! Waiting might serve you better, because they are planning a second generation release of the Switch. Who knows? Maybe it will have improved features or hardware?

@Cosats I disagree. Generally speaking, the eShop is currently swamped to heck with shovelware titles. It’s a shame they didn’t at least curate their influx of games a little. Quality over quantity, my man!

@Cobalt Came here to say the same thing! Wee, 1,000 games...I own 9 right now lmao!! Hopefully the overall quality improves. There sure are a LOT of shovelware titles on the eshop right now.

@Reverandjames In what way?

@BionicDodo Ok. What was your point?

@NintendoFan4Lyf Oh nice! Didn’t know that. Thanks for the heads up.

@NintendoFan4Lyf I’m pretty sure there isn’t any difference in that title.

@BionicDodo I want to play NES games in 2018. I don’t allow the current time period to determine what games I play.

Eh, I kinda lost interest in them after Transformers: Devastation.

@Kalmaro Spirit of the law doesn't matter? You need to read up on some court documents, read some history books, get educated on the matter before entering discussion. Legislature, juries, judges, attorneys, etc, are constantly weighing the letter of the law vs. the spirit of the law. It's kind of a basic, at this point. You sound like the kind of guy that doesn't even want to entertain the spirit of the law in any way shape or form. It's a good reason you're stuck commenting on a website instead of enacting actual law. Here's to hoping it stays that way!

@Anti-Matter Most people use the fact that we are going to decompose as an excuse to do nothing. I am not one of those people, but thanks for offering your expert advice.

No physical, no buy. It is a cool idea to blend side-scrolling, platforming-exploration with turn based battles and monster collection. Looks interesting, so here's to hoping they do a physical release.

@Giygas_95 Probably will have to wait for Cyber Monday, or whichever day that lands on.

Not gonna lie, I hate black Friday and wish it was pushed back a little. It really detracts from the whole, "spend a day being thankful for what you have" and then, "just go out and buy a bunch of garbage."

@Mrtoad Ness is a pretty cool guy, and Earthbound is a pretty cool game.

@Kalmaro Makes you wonder how prohibition worked! All I'm saying, is that you are coming off as being very black and white, and even across history there have been areas of grey that get worked out as time goes by. You're coming across as "all piracy = bad, no matter what." I happen to think it's more circumstantial than the written law outlines. Remember that in law, there is always the question of "the letter of the law vs. the spirit of the law." Sure, the letter of the law makes sense when you look at games that are readily available in some physical or digital format. Take those games down. But, when you have a game that is completely out of print/production or lost due to lack of relevant hardware? It's literally harming no one, and starts to hinder the spirit of the law. Not to mention, people who own physical copies of the games they have ROM/ISO files of aren't breaking the law. It's just not a good way to look at life, so I don't live that way. I always question the letter vs. the spirit of a law. We all should be, instead of blindly following like sheep!

@Darknyht Right!

Finally! Next they need to add a strong refund policy, like other online retailers offer!

@Mrtoad Cool story bro.

@Syrek24 That’s a rather overly dramatic take on the situation. Maybe making assumptions about people you don’t know or have never met is the problem?

@Kalmaro That answers all my questions about your opinion of the matter.

@Kalmaro It was illegal. Was it also unethical? Law doesn’t always define ethics. Is downloading a game from 30 years ago unethical? Especially if the game isn’t offered on a current digital platform?

@bilboa That being said, cool rom is still going strong, as is rom hustler and a few others.

@Nemodius I actually didn’t know that! Thanks for the heads up. Good on them for preserving digital games. It’s always a shame when a game is lost due to obsolete hardware and such.

@Mrtoad What’s the difference if Nintendo doesn’t see the revenue? And yes, the guy on eBay can potentially turn physical game into “millions of copies,” because even today the hardware exists to make ROM dumps of physical carts. Mainly, I’m against piracy, but only if it causes harm, like in cases where a small indie studio loses money on a small release. Nintendo isn’t feeling a financial hit every time Super Mario World is downloaded.

@Darknyht Well, the sad truth about digital purchases is that they severely limit consumer rights. It’s the reason I haven’t bought a game on Steam in over a year. Granted, I did buy the relevant Wii U and 3DS titles for the VC, but I know if my console goes, my “digital licenses” also go. I agree with you, though. Nintendo should have some kind of buyback option....something to take the sting off knowing that once your console is gone, so are the games.

@Nemodius I mainly agree with your sentiment, but I have to say that it’s getting harder to find certain ROMs and ISOs. Luckily, I downloaded the NES, SNES, and GB full libraries from emu paradise years ago, but finding good PSX ISOs for certain games took some considerable digging.

I know Nintendo and the other big companies don’t like rom sites, but I’m thrilled that I have backups of all the physical games I own.

@Petriebird You just answered your own question. Digital = more money for Nintendo/no chance of resale/total control of their licenses. Physical = less money for Nintendo/they lose cash from people buying used games/people can rip carts/discs to make ROMs. Nintendo is a multimillion dollar corporation. Which path do you think they’ll take?

@sonicmeerkat I’ll only support VC if I can import what I already bought on my Wii U and 3DS.

@janpampoen I see what you are getting at and I agree with your overall sentiment, but the apartheid example is a bit extreme

@locky-mavo Are you totally out of your mind? Nintendo doesn’t want you owning games. They want you to own licenses. I’m sure they feel the gut punch every time Earthbound gets resold on eBay for over $200. All the big games companies want to eliminate physical games, for the purpose of getting rid of resale businesses, such as Gamestop. Next couple of generations are going to see physical games completely phase out. You can’t resell licenses, and that’s what they would prefer.

@Frenean The rest of his comment is very sound. While he may not be 100% accurate with his Sony comment, it really doesn’t detract from the overall statement.

@Dezzy Mario Sunshine is a poor example, because that thing costs only a few dollars. But Skies? Good Lordy, that’s an expensive game...Game Cube consoles are very cheap. Most bundles cost the same as a new game. Just saying, while I fully support emulation I also know that some original hardware is cheap. Now, the TG16? Holy moly, forget about it...

@Slim1999 I own a hard copy of every ROM I have ever downloaded. Trust me, I wish some of those games were cheap. Stop making bad assumptions about people you’ve never met.

Sorry Nintendo, but I hope you choke on your money.

This is great! I’ve been planning on getting an N64, but I hate the original controller due to the low quality stick it has. This looks great. Can’t wait to pick one up.
