The fan emulation scene has not only lead to countless innovations over the years, it's directly benefited Nintendo.

    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.
