@anonymous234 said in Nintendo plans on selling the same games AGAIN:
@LB_ Selling old games is a very good thing. Hell, now that digital purchases exist I'd say that there's no reason to ever stop selling a game. We've gotten too used to the absurd idea that software has to be on sale for a few years and then disappear forever. Remakes are great too (if there's a demand, why wouldn't you adapt things to newer hardware?).
What's not great is: 1. Having to buy a particular machine to run a particular game, and 2. Having to pay for the same game more than once. We need to switch to a model where once you buy a game, it's associated to your account and you own it forever and can play it on any device (within technical limitations). When Nintendo figures that out, then I'll start paying for my games.
(hell, they don't even sell the same games for the 3DS and WiiU virtual consoles, even though they all run on the same emulators).
some Xbox 360 games would be associated with my account if I had bought an Xbox one after it broke. too little, but at least they moved in the right direction
