So?



Actually...the Head of Nintendo of Japan said this. Fis-Amee does NOT run Nintendo :)



...or an explanation of the planned strategy. As hinted at by, you know, the guy that *runs Nintendo*. We have so far seen this strategy in play: Standalones of ports with modern stuff added in. The only thing Nintendo has said about *their* offerings that is definitive is "we plan to Retro Game of The Month" with an option to buy. Since NOJ's head has stated "older games, modern features"...It is pretty much a given that this is what they want to do :)



There is a saying "Perception is Reality". Nintendo does not seem, this time around, to *want to be* th Good Ol' Games Platform. They seem to be aiming squarely at Good Ol' *Gameplay* with new IP.

My biggest issue I think with this whole notion, personally, is the entitlement - they are not going to let people "redownload" the New Old Stuff for free...people will piss and moan. There is also this sense of almost...entitlement around the whole thing. It is just weird. I played all of these things in the 80s, 90s, 00s when they first came out...then some again on "Virtual Console".

It was novel 10 years ago. :)

Pretty much none of this has anything to do with the subject at hand and doesn't affect Nintendo throwing up a few emulated ROMs on the eShop in the same vein that whoever was behind the NeoGeo ports did. We pretty much have VC right now, just no Nintendo VC.

Why would Nintendo scrap a system that prints money for little to no effort?

What is your source that Nintendo's president has no interest in VC?

They let people transfer their purchased VC to the Wii U for a very small price which while shitty, was still something they did. They could either do the same thing or pull a Playstation and do cross-buy.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
