| Marth said: You have to wait for the Nintendo Retro Postal service to go live in April 2020. There you can order all your favorite games from Nintendos long history for only $29.99* After 2-4 weeks of delivery time you will get your order that contains a code to download the game on your Nintendo Switch. After first activation you can play the game for up to 10h of playtime or 2 weeks of real time. So you will never get bored with old games and can try out the whole libary. The game will even uninstall by itself. *Only one active purchase per Nintendo Account allowed. |
This is very forward thinking of Nintendo, by keeping rentals to one game at a time, they won't have to spend so much on restocking the eShop and it'll force gamers to try out new titles they might not have even heard of. If all 15 copies of Super Mario 64 are on rental right now, no problem, put your name down and now you have priority when a game comes back into stock. In the meantime you can rent Tonic Trouble and if Mario 64 is available before your rental period is over you can cancel the remaining time on your current rental and add those hours/days onto your new game, up to an additional 2 hours playtime or 5 days of rental time.
Sony and Microsoft will be struggling to restock their digital Halo and Uncharted games to keep up with demand as users abuse the ability to download multiple titles at once, while the less popular titles remain completely untouched. Nintendo, on the other hand, will be making smart use of its full library and teaching its customers the value of patience and opening their minds to new experiences.
