NIntendo is retiring the Virtual Console

Cavs need to step their rebounding game up if they want to win this.

>>378810597
So only Nes games.
And Nintendo first party Nes games at that.
Quite a weak selection.

>>378810597
No Metroid, Metroid II, Super, or Fusion? Just announce VC GBA to the New 3DS already.

Hey anon "Such as Super Mario Bros. 3, Balloon Fight, and Dr. Mario"
Not "Only Super Mario Bros. 3, Balloon Fight, and Dr. Mario"

Learn to read. There will be more than those three games. The real question is whether or not it is just NES games.

Why would someone pay for a digital version of a nes snes n64 game when you can download them and play them for free on any device in less than a minute?

>>378811604
The prior version of the site refer to the classic games as VC games. The VC name is being phased out. Wether we will still see single mu-wrapped games like we currently do, subscription only, or a hub to add individual titles remains to be seen.

how is he an idiot for admitting that most people don't want to fiddle around with emulators? They want to press 2 or 3 buttons and be playing.

I've been trying to set up Turtles in Time arcade netplay for my buddy and I for what feels like a year because he always gives up on the set up and wants to play HotS or Overwatch or Warhammer Vermintide with me instead. These people seriously don't know how easy it is but that doesn't make the rest of us who put up with console bullshit idiots.

It's truly amazing the bullshit people have let Nintendo get away with. People have been asking Nintendo for years to unify the VC service instead of being forced to repurchase across seperate devices, all the while saying they were working on when asked recently regarding the Switch, only to turn around and confirm they wont be doing it.

Anyone who is still a Nintendo fan - why, and how the hell do you justify it? Quit supporting this shit company.

>>378821152

I'd end up playing a lot more NES games that way. As long as the price is reasonable, sounds like a benefit for the consumer. If Nintendo is willing to do it, it sounds like a benefit for them too.

Bloodborne / Dark Souls 3 are better than any Monster Hunter and Breath of the Wild.
GTA5 is better than Breath of the Wild. GTA4 was better than Breath of the Wild.
Fucking Minecraft is better than Breath of the Wild.
Fucking Shovel Knights is better than dong.
Sm4sh is miserably, miserably unfun and the amount of online lag is fucking ludicrously insane.

GTA 5 is worse than 3, SA, VC, and arguably 4.
Minecraft is older than 5 years
Shovel Knight isn't 5 games but is a fantastic game

If I'm not allowed to employ Bayonetta (Published by Nintendo) or W101 (Published by Nintendo) or any game worse than it's predecessors (ALBW to ALttP) then neither are you. Try again, you'll see that you can't.

It's not worse than predecessors, it's worse by generations.

People mind have fond memories of GTA2 or GTA3 but neither are more fun than GTA4 or GTA5. If you want the predecessor argument, we look at immediate predecessors. GTA5 is better than 4 outside of a few background tech things.

ALBW being worse than ALTTP says more than you believe it does when ALTTP came out over twenty fucking years ago with the entire video game industry having evolved considerably since then.

I'm not discounting the games because the immediate predecessor was more interesting, I'm discounting the games because they're not better than very old games most people don't play anymore. You're trying to strawman me into redefining an argument with arbitrary rules when the only thing I said in my first post was essentially the value of the "fun" you get between Nintendo's games versus anyone else's games, because you were keen on pointing out that Nintendo had fun games when fun is not only a little subjective, but also entirely relative.

I might find Nintendo games fun if I never played games on an xbox or a playstation or a fuckin' computer - but because i'm not a nintendo drone and we're not posting on /n/ - Nintendo, I can reliably affirm that non-Nintendo games have been tremendously more interesting than Nintendo games not only in the past 5 years, but the past 10 or even 14 years coinciding with Yamauchi stepping down and Iwata stepping up.

I wont argue that Nintendo used to make fun games, but I'm willing to admit that it was only while Hiroshi Yamauchi was president of Nintendo which ended 15 years ago. Maybe you should admit it too, else Nintendo will keep on keeping on with their bullshit of milking nostalgia bux out of gullible retards based explicitly on reinvigorating childhood memories with legacy franchises from an era long past, all the while actually fucking them up.

Zelda went from being one of my favorite franchises to shit-tier over BOTW alone.

I don't understand how anyone could think this is a bad idea. The only thing that concerns me is that they haven't confirmed anything besides NES. This service is gonna hinge on having a robust library, it's gonna be really disappointing if they start out with only a few games and then do the drip-feed of 1-3 games a week they've been doing since the original Wii.

>>378825247
If you want to be really facetious, you can say Souls games are cheap imitations of Zelda games.

If you're going to be that facetious though, you then also have to admit that BotW is not a proper zelda game and is instead a cheap imitation of a Souls game that fails to be as interesting as a souls game which you're facetiously assuming failed to be as interesting as a zelda game.

You're right that we're not on /n/, but you are wrong that Nintendo games aren't fun if you've ever owned a non-nintendo console, pic related. When it's my games if their predecessors are bad the game doesn't count, but when it's your games you can have it however you want. Only thing ALttP has up on ALBW is difficulty and a non-retarded item system, other than that ALBW mops the floor with ALttP.

>I'm not discounting the games... but also entirely relative.
So you admit that your reply to my shortlist is nothing but subjective, relative bullshit and that you're backpedaling because you got caught with your pants down on your bullshit challenge about certain games not counting because they're "not Nintendo" and you can't do the same for any other developer.

You're a fucking idiot.

The item system was a huge fault of ALBW and reduced the amount of replayability tremendously, as well as ruining any real sense of progress through increasing difficulty - but the bigger problem was ALBW literally had fewer fucking items than ALTTP.

I beat ALBW near 100% with 18 hearts and all octopus upgrades in just 7 hours because of the way it was designed. Ironically, the amount of """freedom""" they added actually made it even more linear than not, given how much easier it is to get from point A to point B using item X or wall-melding when any item and wall melding are freely available to the player very early on - this same retarded philosophy being carried into BotW and exacerbated even further through a lack of items or abilities altogether on top of no dungeons.

ALBW is shit. It was so short and the graphical quality so bad for a 3DS game that I thought the Majora's Mask easter egg actually meant the entirety of the Majora's Mask game was secretly on the cart.

And the rest of your shitpost is defending being an arbitrary delusional cocksucker so whatever, have fun with that.

>>378826978
I think you're missing the point here. You asked me why I give Nintendo money, I said I like their games so I buy their consoles.

You asked me for games that are better than anything else from the last five years right? I gave you a list of games that are at the top of their genre from the last 5 years and of course any "best game" is going to be weighted with opinions. Now the games that I bought the Nintendo consoles for (Monster Hunter) that are developed by a different company don't count because they're not developed by Nintendo I guess. And you give me opinions about BotW and ALBW being worse than games from far in the past which I actually agree on for the most part, OoT and LttP are my favorite Zeldos, but there's a lot that these newer games do better than those old ones and bringing in 20 year old games to an argument over the last five years isn't exactly consistent.

You broke consistency so I did as well. Any five games that are better than any 5 from my shortlist but we have to lock this down because old games existing and games that aren't ""Nintendo"" games, even if published by them, just don't count. You made up arbitrary shit so I did too.
