I assume the suggestion isn't that Nintendo should give the games away. Just that if you buy a game on the Switch you shouldn't have to buy it again when you upgrade to their next console.
- huffmsa 6y agoCorrect. I won't buy virtual console stuff because it won't carry over. I'd happily buy their whole catalog if I knew it was mine forever.
- SifJar 6y agoYeah, I got that, my point is more that it takes away a potential recurring revenue stream for the sake of maybe a slight boost in software sales right now (I doubt there are a massive number of people who would suddenly purchase a whole bunch of virtual console games right now if it was announced they'd transfer over to all future Nintendo consoles)
- huffmsa 6y agoIsn't that exactly the point of Steam though? Single, highly transferable library. I certainly know that I'd be loading up if they made everything available in perpetuity. And thinking of how many people want to get get into a series but simply can't because there's no real way for them to. Nintendo isn't really even doing VC this generation. So they're turning to emulation, if they're technical enough.
