Making billions upon billions of dollars each year?.. damn I wish I was that out of touch...

That person was making money out of literal piracy, what did you expect Nintendo to do

Having said that I wish the Virtual Console came back.

thank you sir! :)

True. It is kind of nice to have uniform pricing (mostly) for Nintendo VC games.

Sony is more over the place, and with bigger price tiers.

However, the point I was trying to make was this.

What's a better value? N64 games for $10 on Wii U or PS2 titles like Persona 3 and Persona 4 for $10 on PS3? 

Would you rather pay $10 for most DS titles on Wii U, or $6 for most PS1 titles on PS3 or Vita?

I know there are some apples to oranges comparisons, but still.

I can understand Nintendo charging $5 for NES, $8 for SNES, and $10 for N64 games when the Wii launched in 2006. But it needed an overhaul in the 3DS and Wii U games. And they ever sell them to us again, they need to be a lot cheaper. NES games should be about $2 a piece.

They rotate the selection on Disney+ adding old movies on and taking others off.  It would be a better service if you had access to their entire library (baring new releases still in theaters) . 

Disney+ still has a long way to go in my opinion their streaming is sub-par.  Where I have zero issues with Netflix, Hulu+, Prime, Vudu ... they are so bad about the stream getting interrupted that on a couple occasions I got fed up and just went upstairs and grabbed the blu-ray so I could watch it without interruptions at 5 to 10 minute intervals. Kind of surprising out of a company with that much money and that already has a stake in a decent streaming service via a 60% share of Hulu. 

Bad take mate

Unfortunately Nintendo still has that 80s & 90s Disney mentality where they think keeping some of their most beloved classics locked in the "vault" save for a few limited time releases here and there like the NES / SNES Classic consoles for example is still the way to go.

With the ever increasing popularity of streaming services where people gladly pay a recurring monthly fee to access some of their favorite entertainment both past and present, you'd think Nintendo would be all over it and create something like a "Nin-flix" digital subscription service where you have exclusive access to a vast library of their classics spanning several console eras like the NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBA etc. I know there's obviously licensing issues with 3rd party IPs and several of those classics are only currently available in collection packs i.e Castlevania, Mega Man, Contra etc, but at least those 3rd parties are making their titles available through a wide variety of online services.

It's like Nintendo loves tormenting its own fanbase by holding back classic titles like Earthbound on their own online service while essentially forcing customers to pay for it if they want to enjoy features like online multiplayer. I'd rather pay $50 or $60 a year if I know I'm getting access a chunk of the classic 8-64 bit library rather than $20 for a sub-par online service.

Yeah. I wanted to play Earthbound but I don't have a New 3DS or Wii U and Nintendo refuses to put this game on Switch... So I end up downloading a ROM and playing on a emulator. Would love to play it legally but oh well. I think I may do the same thing with Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG too. Really wish I could at least buy these games on a modern Nintendo platform that I own but in the end I will play them, legally or not.

Shutting down a ROM site profiting with piracy is 100% okay too, just to be clear.

Nintendo, just like Sony and Microsoft are companies that only care about one thing, making money. Its as simple as that.

This time around, Nintendo can afford to not care much, because the switch is very successful, Microsoft on the other hand, needs stuff like gamepass and backwards compatibility to regain lost market share, Sony doesn't need to do anything really.

Everyone talks Nintendo, but you cant even play ps1 or ps2 or ps3 games on ps4 or ps5, streaming doesn't count due to poor performance and the need for a fast internet.

Even the xbox plays enhanced ps1 games.

BC was always a thing with Xbox, the handfull xbox games that you could buy digitally were available to play on your 360 with your account and the bc 360 program was in the works while the 360 was doing great.  The Wii was praised for its VC so critizising the Switch for not having it is fair. I really don't understand how people can call 'the ability to play games you bought before on your new console' a weakness. It should be mandatory by now.
