Nintendo has never been big on perseverance, or back compat.

You either get it while it's available or you miss the boat.

And in their case I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.


People have had over a decade to get some of these games and now are upset because they can't buy them in a year ..:francis:


You already know Nintendo is gonna ration these games out with there online service slow and painfully.

If you want any of these games you've got about a year to own it.

So 20 year old games > bad

10 year old games > who cares

Not only does the PS5 not favor game preservation, but certain PS3 games are unable to get patches n

This is you, right?

what do handheld gaming PCs look like? steam deck. lyra. kishi makes your phone look like...what. gameboy is still being copied. gamepads. pokemon knock offs. gba, wii motes, controllers with sounds coming out of them, dynamic rumble, mascot platformers...

I’d say they look more like psp/vitas than Nintendos.

The vita died off long before the DS and its still more advanced than the switch

Scalpers are fukking up the game on God:francis:. It was all good a week ago where you can cop retro games and even consoles that are not considered retro at fair prices. Now you got to Aliexpress it because the games cost more than a PSP in 2005:hhh:
They stopped making the 3DS so it's either buy one used or pay insane prices. When that eShop goes all the games prices will likely go insane.

Either way prices are likely to explode soon. Because this has an end date for online the demand for all of it is going to go up.
