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

KungKras on 26 May 2013

Then I'd stop buying Nintendo. Simple as that.

There are better things to do than playing video games anyways.



I LOVE ICELAND!

We all know that Nintendo is years behind when it comes to screwing their fanbase. They only just warm up to DLC.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Let's say Hypotehtically Nintendo goes the same route as MS, and lets say Sony is as well (No confirmation yet), lets say they are the last to do it, because the others have done it.


The day they do that is the day I'll stop buying games from them and get rid of the console.

My love for Nintendo goes only that far. This would definitely be crossing the line.

I get what you mean with DLC, but has Nintendo done that to anyone yet? I mean with their DLC I have not seen it to be so cheap (perhaps nsmb2's dlc is?

 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.

I have a feeling that MS will incorporate a system where you could deactivate it using your console, then verify it using another. It may take 6 months or so to roll out but I can easily see MS doing it. You put the disc in your Xone, deactivate it, they'll give you a verification code of some sort in return, give to friend/family member etc, they put it in their One and input the code they gave you and done.

If me, a random dude on the net can think of this surely MS have.

It wouldn't effect me too much, since I usually get new games, anyway. I would be more picky with what games I get, though.
On a large scale, I would be very concerned about Nintendo's future, however.

After seeing the lash at Microsoft's Xbox One announcement, I doubt Nintendo would be dumb enough to go that route.



WHO IS JESUS REALLY?

TripleMMM on 27 May 2013

I'm just going to copy/paste what I said on another thread that fits in here as well:

When people said that Nintendo products were kiddy, I had no problem with that. A console to me (any gaming console from any company in the gaming industry) is a toy, a very expensive electronic toy, but a toy non the less.

Ever since Microsoft came in the gaming industry with the online subscription, I was very wary about where they were going with this, it was becoming more than just an expensive electronic toy.
Granted, Sony started with this trend with playing soundtrack CD's, but it didn't affect the industry much...

Now I see Microsoft is making console much more than just a toy that is affecting the gaming industry very negatively. I can't play with my toys freely anymore. When did it ever become that I need to pay for a subscription to give me permission to play with my toy that I already bought...

Think about it:
Make a profit to make games
Make games to make a profit
At some point, these same words flipped and it's doing more bad than good...

Depends on what you consider "cheap" DLC - typically $2.50 for a small level pack. However, there's no denying that SpotPass content, which comes at no additional cost, is awesome. Especially in the case of Fire Emblem.
