| oniyide said: im sorry, but why the hell did you DL SO many games, knowing that you couldnt transfer them later?? Makes no sense to me |
Because I assumed at the time that Nintendo would later provide a method for transferring the games to new hardware. Lack of such a method at the 3DS launch, plus my own frustrations trying to migrate save games to a new Wii (drives me bonkers how hard Nintendo makes this. For some savegames, it's blocked altogether) have since reduced my faith that Nintendo will take care of its customers.
When I heard Nintendo was pushing download codes as an alternative to retail discs, I was initially enthusiastic, until I realized that disc-based Wii games are the ones which are guaranteed to work on a new Wii U, while digital games are still up in the air.
Glad to hear about the DSi to 3DS tool, though. Clumsy, but acceptable. Nintendo probably will release a similar tool for Wiis in the months after the Wii U launch.
