No I am at work. I've spent a lot of time the last few days thinking about fire emblem though, and also about stories where the impulse for the protagonist to Do poo poo is their dad dying.

I'mma call my dad later and check in.

No idea. Just trying to make a point that NO console is a catch-all for good and fun games and to single Nintendo out is a bit disingenuous.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

Reminder not to buy an SD card until after you get the switch. All release games fit in the switch as it comes in the box, so just wait and see which cards work best with the Switch after release.

there's a reason they hold their value. I just spent 2 more dollars getting Zelda MM on my Wii U cause Idk what I did with my n64.

Even if you're not selling them, cartridges are rad as hell in 2017, since memory sizes don't really cause n64 problems anymore.

Do Nintendo games really hold value that much better than other titles on respective consoles? Or are there only certain titles that keep value?

Any game made and published by Nintendo or a second party holds its value insanely well

Yeah, it's because nintendo never really does sales or price drops so the secondhand market isn't forced to do the same. Also their quantities tend to be a bit more limited, and there's an untold number of copies of games that die at the hands of kids and disappear forever.

It also has the hilarious ripple effect of everyone on Craigslist thinking their copy of Bubba's Deep Shooter 2009 adds $50 to the value of the Wii they're trying to sell.

You're lucky if Gamestop will give you more than 55 cents for a good Xbox or PS exclusive from a decade ago. Meanwhile, Wii Sports, which probably has more physical copies out there than almost any other game on any system, is still worth $4.00.

I know its Gamestop and everything, but it at least gives you a comparative value of the market for each game.

You could probably do this more cheaply by buying a used WiiU and BotW for WiiU.

I am looking forward to getting the Switch (hopefully Nintendo-refurbished) after its first price cut. Splatoon 2 will probably be great by then.

I'm excited for Splatoon 2, but I do hope they keep things trickling in a little faster than last time. By the time the last 2 maps were unveiled, I was burnt out on it.

While that might be true, they would only be able to play on their own toilet. With the portable power of the switch, you can videogames on anybody's toilet!

You could also buy a dog that recently died instead of a living one. After all, its cheaper (no food, vet bills, etc.) and it still might be warm enough to pet and cuddle with for awhile.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I liked playing and learning the small amount of maps when Splatoon launched. And when they'd release a couple of stages and some new weapons, it renewed my interest in the game many more times than it would've if they'd dropped all the levels into the game on day one. The updates made the world feel really alive
