Personally I do not really get your stance or that of Bristow 

I got what I wanted out of it. I won. 

1.) The why is probably because they stack up after time. I can remember that about half of my Wii U storage became savegames late into it's life. Some games have savefiles of over 100MB per save. Saving them forever costs Nintendo lots of storage space, which is also the reason why Sony deletes them after some time, too.

Microsoft has lots more of own storage space, so they're much less in need of storage space, hence why they don't delete savefiles.

2.) Yeah, should have come from the beginning for sure. Or at least last year September and considering the launch months as test period. Launching it now is really bad timing.

3.) Well I highly suggest now it's high time that you try out some of those games before selling your Switch. NES had some very great games - just be careful, games were a lot more difficult back then in general.

As for the Online Multiplayer: No, NES had no online functionality. And with what, Internet didn't even exist yet at the time and the Arpanet was more on business and Universities. However, they had loads of Multiplayer games, be it co-op or against each other, and up to 4 players at that. Also, many old magazines had highscore lists for the more popular games, sent in by their readers. That could now all be done online if no one is there at your place to play with you.

4.) Of course Nintendo could do a lot better. But don't expect them to back down on something their competitors had been running for a long while now without many complaints; in fact I remember how many were urging Nintendo to do something like this to improve their Online. That petition has virtually 0 chances of success.

I couldn't agree more, Nintendo makes great games but are greedy as can be, they take years to drop the price for there games even if they arent selling that great they still dont drop the price.

Thanks for finally putting some sense into this thread Quickrick. Much needed and much appreciated. 

Some argued in hindsight that Sony did it on purpose to get the necessary know-how for a console from Nintendo that way without risking having to commit the hardware for them

aside from that they are selling ports of old games at full price. i cant of even think of one company that does this

Wow Alchy XD

Never knew you could bait so many people. I mean, you even got QR lmao

Have fun with playing Smash Bros. on PS4 ^^

I don't know which one's more funny; the people taking the bait or the fact that Nintendo do in fact have a fairly long history of anti-consumer behaviors and policies for real.

Good job though, regardless.

Eh, they made a Zelda last year, so they were in the clear again for 5 years in my book. Still 4 to go!
