this is happening and there's nothing anyone can do about it. about 10 years ago (maybe more) a colleague said to me that the future is subscription based. "no one will own anything digitally any more", he said, "everyone will pay a monthly fee for access to vast libraries of content.". i pretty much laughed in his face. not only was that a massive change in the way society works, but would require a technical infrastructure i could not perceive back that. then the cloud computing boom happened. now look - who buys music any more? who buys books? these people are few and far between. games are the next medium to follow in this trend. games are a more complex media due to having to them being interactive and bigger file sizes etc, but trust me; this is happening. 10 years from now, every game will be available via subscription services, and we will look back at owning games as something so alien, much like we look at owning music today.

@Kimyonaakuma true, but i'd love to hang my ancient spear on the wall

someone has too much time on their hands ...

the only update i want it the ability to play against my friends online. don't care about anything else

They need to bring back miiverse and merge it with the store. Build a community of discussion around games. Make it searchable, categorisable, with ratings and opinions. Drive engagement via miiverse with direct links to games where you can buy them there and then. This will vastly improve the experience imho

Great game, but no way it's a 9. Finished it on 3DS. No plans to revisit.
