Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What if Nintendo does the same thing with Used games?

I've never bought a used game before. I am too worried they are damaged.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

 I think more money going back to the devs is a great move. I just wish it was more than the purposed 45%. MS will also, as I think you already know, get 45% while the retailer, for arguments sake, GameStop only get 10%? That I do not like. MS should be getting the %10 for being the "middle man" in this. A small slice to pay for the service even? That seems fair, or fairer then the current deal.

Have you tried Steam? It's actually pretty good. I say that as someone who rarely uses it because of hardware issues.

I agree with that,but still why would i have to go to gamestop (not to mention i live in south america but that's another story, so lets say any store for that matter) to sell a game? why can't i sell it to my friend? or my cousin who lives in another state? the deal here wouldn't have to be if it's convenient or not but why couldn't i? i paid for it! - Now what i see in this ''money going back to them'' is danger, even more money with no effort, like i said i doubt this would be used for our benefit is more likely going to their bank since these guys (in general) are always looking to make more and more money with less... and less and less some take it to the extreme and like i've been saying lately, sometimes seems more important to have a 400% profit than to deliver a good product, this money hunger could actually do us more bad than good. But who knows what the future will be like, time will tell.

Oh and yeah i've tried steam, it's cool i just can't get used to digital yet, i don't hate it that much ^^ just prefer not to use it.

no way, Iwata is not an asshole.
I bet EA realized they could not make Nintendo do that, not the ORIGIN theory!


No Iwata may not be, but all companies answer to Investors, yes? Nintendo is a giant publisher/developer, how much money could they make off Mario taking a bite out of the pie everytime it is resold? If every 3rd party sees things the same way, can they truly not do it?

very little considering people buy nintendo games to keep them.



xbox one, I think, will be one massive flop because of that and always online "feature" that comes attached with it if such things happen.


it is suicidal.

Exactly as I said. A majority of Nintendo gamers have more "old school" sensabilities, and actually value building up game collections, not merely beating something and then trading it in, IE what I call the "Gamestop Generation", which in my opion is really sad. People should value the games they buy, not just basically overpaying to rent them and then move along.

This whole conversation is moot. Nintendo has already come out and said they will not block used games.... direct quote, ""We haven't incorporated any features that will discourage used game sales at this point. We're not trying to circumvent that."

Instead for their first party titles at least, they are shipping less retail units and pushing digital. For their biggest games, Mario, Mario Kart etc, they will definitely ship plenty of units but still try and make the download version as appealing as possible.

If third parties were to completely bail (instead of just implementing their usual online pass things), Nintendo will just have to do what they have almost always done.....carry the system by themselves. If people simply don't buy the PS4 or the Xbone and flock to the Wii U instead (purely hypothetical situation), third parties will rethink their strategy. Few have completely burned Nintendo.....even EA went back on their word a bit.

They won't be blocking used games.....probably because they are paying close attention to the backlash the Xbone is getting. I don't think it's mere coincidence that they announced the time of their E3 Direct when they did....

Actually, that statement really says they haven't done it at this point, not that they never would, in any case, no discussion worth having is moot.



This would be great for me, because now I can finally break my habit of letting people borrow all my good games.

Not to mention that their are some people who actually replay old games (yes, on their old systems as well), 'cause they're so good. I'm one of them. ;)

How would they? it's not something they could just implement but i really hope this is just a phase like online passes. This second hand punishment put on us is only shooting themselves in the foot.

But to the answer the question, i wouldn't buy any new systems or games. I would finish with the 7th gen and that would be it. Buying the games on PC would still be agreeing to their traitorous assault on their loyal customers as second hand is almost non-existent on PC anyway
