@PIMPNITEYT @NintendoAmerica You would think they would be easily able to just add Home to the 3ds and keep the service running after the online services go down

I think Nintendo sees digital as something fleeting and perishable. But by taking down their services for purchasing games, they've created a service problem. What's that old Gabe Newell quote? Piracy is an issue of service.

@Disentegration0 @DrewSav i thought the issue was the 3ds/wii u shop is the cheapest way to get older system games that aren't on the nintendo online system. finding gameboy games would be almost impossible (or expensive). the wii u and 3ds games can still be found used and the pop ones were ported.

@SB2749 Personally I don’t see the problem I think it’s nice of Nintendo to finally give everyone a reason to use emulators if they haven’t already

@Fawfulthgreat64 @NintendoAmerica I don’t get how that would be possible but I do have to assume that was the issue. I had two different 3DS but I played plenty of games before switching 3DSes.

@muttvore Nintendo: > Actively makes it harder to purchase legacy titles. > Shoves them in a ****** online service where you cannot keep them. > Gets surprised when people pirate their older titles.

This is, of course, an issue Nintendo's struggle with for years. They fail to understand that artificial scarcity causes a service problem. They fail to understand that having an inconsistent library of classic games across causes service problems.

@OliverJia1014 @WumpaGem Piracy is a service problem. If Nintendo wants to stop pirates, taking them down won't work. They need to simply offer a better service then what the pirates are offering.

@Its7aco @NintendoAmerica problem is it literally doesn’t matter cause no matter how anti-consumer they are people refuse to vote with their wallets and they’re one of the richest companies on earth so they have free reignt to do whatever bullshit they want with basically zero consequence.

@KeebyAstrokat Archivists shouldn't be threatened by legal action just for doing the safekeeping work Nintendo is supposed to handle themselves but don't. There lies the problem

Fans: We want you to put your old games on Switch Nintendo: here’s a real **** sub service with a trash lineup Fans: no, we want virtual console and maybe some DS/3DS titles. Nintendo: we’re charging you $50 a year Fans: we’ll just emulate.. Nintendo: WE’LL SEE YOU IN COURT

@drachenfels666 @TheeAleexJ @NintendoAmerica no the alternative is piracy. Nintendo clearly, CLEARLY has show they do not give a **** about legacy content unless it's part of their overpriced subscription service, and even then they **** it up royally.
