This thread is about people asking for remasters/remakes, so obviously, people who have played the original.
People should either :
- keep their old hardware (it is much simpler than people want us to believe. I still have a CRT and my MegaDrive, it does not take much space at all)
- ask for proper backward compatibility features
In both cases, it would cost them 0$
It is particularly sad when we come from the Wii U, which was a great console, centered around the player, and offering a great services/features as well as great BC. Everything was scrapped with the Switch. Players lost so much in the transition.
- ask for proper backward compatibility features
There it is exactly.
I'm getting a lot of
"NIntendo release the games again because people want to play them again or neveer played them before"
posts which is obvious.
It's how Nintendo are handling that side of things that bothers me and alot of other people in this thread.
The Switch is a new console and logically cannot play physical games from previous consoles, I get that. It's a handheld and a handhelds cannot play discs I get that.
But why shut down the entire WiiWare/ Virtual console service?
I was naive and thought Nintendo would put a better system in place eventually with the Switch.
Either eventually put a gamepass style service or have a more upgraded modern version of WiiWare/VC.
This is something NIntendo fans have asked for, I'm not saying they haven't... but it's not enough. Nintendo basically got away with blocking your previous purchases into a new generation.. Inexcuasable.
I know Sony did this with the PS4 as well in regards to PS3 games as well so I'm not excusing this either. But the PS4 was released a long time before the Switch, lessons should have been learnt here. I understand if the Switch cannot playWiiU games out the gate but the NES /SNES/N64 games people bought before etc?
Those purchases should have been brought over.
They got away with a lot here.
I'm happy a lot of people are happy with their Switch and I am too happy with my purchase overall.
You need to ask these questions though.
I mean how can you purchase a game on their digital store and have any peace of mind that you'll be able to play it on NIntendo's next system?
