Just waiting for the dragon quest monsters games tbh

 

Square is a great example, they have realised that they can sell cheaply made, semi-bad DQ ports at a premium forever

 

This is why I pirate

 

Not going to lie, this is probably mostly why I'm so chill about all of this. I've been playing emulators for years and while it would be nice to play these games on the Switch, I'm not that torn up about it. If Nintendo doesn't want to make money off me, that's their choice.

This is the argument I most agree with, and I'm not really sure why Nintendo doesn't either start another emulator service or just sell the games outright if they're not going to do the former. Hell, I would gladly pay money to play some GBA games on my Switch, even despite the fact that I emulate.

The thing that drives me up the wall here is the lack of transparency on Nintendo's part. We can blue sky all kinds of reasons why they're not doing anything and they could easily all be true, but Nintendo confirming the issues would go a long way to healing relations. At least people would know where to direct their vitriol instead of screaming into the wind.

 

Counter point: Nintendo really shouldn't be expected to communicate about every essentially unimportant fringe concern a fraction of their customers might have. That's no shot. I'm also an old game head.

 

Most people would. They'd make tons of money. That's why this situation is so damn stupid.

 

No, you're right. Certainly they shouldn't be expected to divulge everything, and chances are this isn't even an issue that blips on their radar.

I guess I just have fond memories of Working Designs from back in the day and how the company president Victor Ireland would post frequently on the company's message boards and be totally open about any difficulties they faced, for better or worse.

I wish more companies could be like that.

 

I just play the older games on the consoles I've kept over the years. Still have my gamecube, N64 and Wii.

 

I think if you want to play an old game and it isn't available for purchase, there's nothing wrong with using an emulator.

 

You should read the Iwata book.

 

Until Nintendo gets their act together, Wii U remains an essential system to own.

 

"Essential"

 

Has the deepest back catalog of any Nintendo system up to this point. Considering how anti-rom you are one would think you’d agree.

 

I'm pretty sure the Wii had a lot more VC games, but then again that store is down and the WiiU also is a Wii.

 

Eventually, probably within the next year or two, the Wii U eShop will close meaning you can no longer purchase any more Virtual Console games. It's also an older console so it doesn't play any of the current gen games. And I would suggest the original Wii since it allows you to play GameCube games, but that eShop is already dead so that doesn't work either. Unfortunately there's no good solution right now except for Nintendo relaunching the Virtual Console which they will never do because they're idiots.

 

I have the Wii U to specifically be a Zelda machine.

 

Yuppp

 

I just want Minish Cap and Twilight on Switch and I'll be good.

 

Playing through Wind Waker now for the first time since I was probably 15. I totally forgot they took so much of Ocarina and Majora’s mechanics.

 

Minish Cap needs the Link's Awakening treatment. It's the best 2D Zelda other than LttP.

 

Oracle of Seasons and Ages though

 

TRUE
although, personally, i really really like the look and artstyle of the game and wouldn't want them to update it. keep the pixel graphics and i'm good

 

Every time I start playing a Zelda game (Skyward Sword currently) I end up thinking about which Zelda game I need to play next. I'm really having a yearning for Twilight Princess after this.

 

Minish Cap still looks great, it would be a shame to drop the pixel art

 

when are they restocking the snes mini so people can play earthbound

Jk they won’t do that
