    I remember back in early 00’s, when game magazines with full games on disks were common, someone from Nintendo - I believe Miyamoto himself - said that stifles innovation.

    Nintendo only wants you to sell you new games at full prices, period. You’re not supposed to think of anything else, except for exceptions when they also want to milk your nostalgia.

        They aren’t super keen on selling old games however. On previous consoles the drip-feeding of virtual console releases was infamous, and on Switch you only have the subscription option.

        But yea if they do re-release an old game, they definitely want all the money… Looking at you, Link’s awakening

            That too. I don’t buy nintendo games anymore, because tbh their aggressiveness against piracy and simultaneously very expensive games leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

        Nintendo only wants to offer you old games as a service. You will own nothing and you will like it.

        But this doesn’t even track – if I buy a physics SNES game, Nintendo doesn’t make any money off that!
