I'd give it a 10/10. I never cared for the relationship stuff and just like to play the battles.

Much happier without the time consuming relationships.

As a kid, I'd always sell the old generation to fund the new one. My NES and SNES collections sold at family garage sales (before eBay) for a few hundred dollars each, but there was nothing rare. I started saving my collections after that and had a decent N64 and Gamecube collection that would follow me around as I moved.

However, about 7 years ago, I became sort of a minimalist, looked at these collections and realized I wasn't playing or enjoying them, they were just there. I decided to clear them out, got a good amount selling each one individually as they were well taken care of. I hope that most went into hands of people that would play and enjoy them, rather than sit in a box. I sold off all my collections, not just games, and I don't have any regrets. I don't need the physical game to reminisce about playing it as a kid, plus most of the games I enjoyed became playable on the newer generations anyway. I'm am much happier not having so much stuff

I saw myself buying games and not playing them a couple of generations ago (Wii days). I came to the realization that Nintendo games were more enjoyable for me so I went from having all the consoles to only Nintendo. I do miss a couple of franchises, but my backlog is much more manageable and I now try not to own more than a couple unfinished games at once.

I was happy when the switch was announced as I could focus on only one console for my home and portable gaming.

I probably would of replaced my old 3DS XL with this New 3DS if I could of got one on Black Friday last year. But since they sold out fast in the US, I just stuck with my old 3DS XL instead of hunting for one.

Awesome, 1 of the 2 games I didn't play on the Wii U before I sold it. Very happy to be getting a physical version.

Now hoping for Bayonetta news.

Only port I'd buy again is Bayonetta as it is the only game of interest that I did not play, despite owning it.

No Fire Emblem...

Wow, I grew up with the NES and didn't know this. Whenever I got game over I would rushed through the warps to get back to where I was.

@unrandomsam Used games have always been around. It does affect the sales of games, but if Nintendo ditched phyical media, the retailers could retaliate by refusing to carry Nintendo products.

I think Nintendo would lose a lot of customers (not to mention upsetting retailers) if they removed physical media. I doubt it is going away anytime soon and I am happy for that. I don't have the same feeling of ownership when I buy digital.

@Action51 I used the Wii U transfer tool and I applaud Nintendo for including it. We just have no idea what will happen on the next console in 5 years. We can only hope that our digital games won't be locked to our old console.

I see monetary value in my games so I buy only physical when possible. Look at all older games on eBay fetching big money, you can't sell a digital copy without the console. Plus I am worried Nintendo may not let downloaded games transfer to the next generation like what MS and Sony did this generation.

This was a nice surprise, but I would of preferred more than 16 courses..
