Nintendo only wants to sell you old games still at full price.
Fixed it for you
They aren't super keen on selling old games however. On previous consoles the drip-feeding of virtual console releases was infamous, and on Switch you only have the subscription option.
But yea if they do re-release an old game, they definitely want all the money... Looking at you, Link's awakening
I was more on the "no discount even after 5 years that a game is out"
That too. I don't buy nintendo games anymore, because tbh their aggressiveness against piracy and simultaneously very expensive games leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Oh yes definitely. When I got a 3DS, that was quite a shock.
Nintendo only wants to offer you old games as a service. You will own nothing and you will like it.
But this doesn't even track -- if I buy a physics SNES game, Nintendo doesn't make any money off that!
