Nintendo plans on selling the same games AGAIN

@Maciejasjmj It would be the first violent nintendo game, where you get to enslave the women of your enemies as you play Joshua.
-
So, on top of the Classic Controller and the Classic Controller Pro, there will be the new NES Classic Controller.

No, the New NES Classic Controller.

@error They all have the same word in the title, therefore they are the same game. QED.
And all fish taste the same because they all swim in the water.

@FrostCat That's next year's model.

...there's also the Wii U Pro Controller, which is the only one of the four already mentioned that is truly wireless on its own.
Edit: It looks almost identical to the Classic Controller Pro, but its only connector is USB for charging. May not work with the new NES if it only has the Wii controller connector things, though.

And now they're leading an AR revolution of sorts:
No they aren't. They just crammed their cartoon characters in someone else's game engine.
This strikes me as similar to bitching about Vikings discovering the New World and not Columbus. When Columbus discovered it, it stayed discovered.

But with the "new" NES you'd effectively be buying it twice
Though likely it was your parents or something who bought it the first time.

I already have one of these, except better.
It's called a NES.
You know how many of the original NES games it will play? 100% of them. Always and forever.
You know how many of the NES games it won't play due to license restrictions, or because the game server is down, or because a company decided to delete my copy? 0%.
And if you don't have a NES, an emulator + every single game in existence will fit on a CD. Not a DVD. A CD.

@Lorne-Kates Only if you have shitty low res scans of the manuals.
YOU GOTTA HAVE THE MANUALS.

Many will play none, because 30 year old tech that wasn't that reliable at the time has a good chance of dying

And those can't be repaired ?

Right up until that stupid hinge thing breaks.

Nobody said that this thing is cloud-enabled.

So slap another spring on it. You're allowed to open it. It isn't against any laws. (I can't say the same for new tech)

It's either cloud-enabled (and thus will be fucked), or there's no network connectivity and you'll never get more than those 30 games (which is fucked).

@Lorne-Kates We're talking about Nintendo. It probably has a cartridge slot.

Predicting another entry in this thread next month.

@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
