Most people wouldn't mind it, if ninty still sold the games so that you can actually get them.
Yea, if they sold these things, or had download for everything people would buy them. I'm not gonna use an emulater on a New 2ds when I can get old pokemon in the eshop for a good fair price. I think 5 maybe 10 depending. I'll pay 5 for any Pokemon related game. However they don't sell all games or even close, or offer them free or 50 cents. IDK why they don't take part of that 12 million, and use it to make every game possible downloadable for free, cheap as hell, and fair for the big titles. If someone has bought a GBA game in 3ds should be avaible on their wii, Wii U ect. Maybe not the Wii it;s little old. Seriously only times I ever played a Rom was when I couldn't get it anywhere else. Like Shantae before the eshop (the first one that was impossible to find in the first place and if was released at a better time would have been a much larger success).
Edit-I know licensing issues is a huge problem with many games being re-released, however it wont take much to get into contact with asid company have two lawyers go over and create a contract saying it can be in the shop and they can make X amount off of every download. Or the game can be free but you Studio or developers will have their brand advertised largley when booting the free game, even ninendo could offer them 1 payment, of not much money at all. The games arn't doing anything, nothing to loose, just hand the rights over to Nintendo for 10 Grand shit (mostly washed old companies who need it). Nintendo could offer help and resourses for developing a game they maybe working on. Offer free marketng to a current franchise if they can have them in the eshop, say free themes with a game they are making, and they can have the NOT the right to the game, but ab agreement for it to be in the eshop for free or for whatever price is fair and decided, then Nintendo needs money for hosting that game on their servers ect, it will cost them money to offer them to us, thats when you charge a small fee for game make some 50 cents fuck. It'll add up, in some cases developers should love have even a small portion of the money made, and they still own the game ad can do anything they want, it;s just in the eshop. Maybe they could all sell a modified ROM (lol) to nintendo of the game to post, and they can make it however they want, make it full of ads somehow for new games go ahead, people will just not want to play it who are not hard core fans, but they could be altered in a waqy that makes the version not even close to as valuable to consumers as original, have to a creative way, but this would be a way for developers to get past current contracts with other compasies like Microsoft and Sony or partner type companies, also nintendo would have some alterned not exact original, ig they wanted to do that, incase they planned a relaunch soon of the original on some other platform or new game including t or a redesign/graphics.
