They didn’t remove peoples games from their memory cards, lol, who are these people who own games but didn’t download them for like 5 years and then one day are upset they can’t play the game that they bought and never downloaded!!! It’s an army entirely of straw men!!!

“Here’s $60” “Here is your game.” “Ok here is the game back” “Ok here is $20” “May I please have a new game for $60?” “Sure!” Sustainable! That’s great value! You’d be crazy not to lose money on every purchase you make! You’re just leaving money on the table!!! (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Your digital games will not be taken away from you. There will, at some point, come a time when you are no longer able to redownload them from the company's servers. But that's not really very different from physical games - by the time the digital storefronts are shut down they will have long since stopped printing new physical copies of the game, so you need to keep your copy intact either way.

Ah, the "physical vs digital" stage of the cycle of the Switch Thread. Where we all engage in the practice of telling one another that the other party is full of dumb stupid doo-doo heads because they bought the right game the wrong way.

I wish I never got rid of my old consoles and games. Lost. Forever. Buying physical rules and I'll just store things up for later if I want to bust em out again. gently caress digital for the most part.

personally i believe you should pirate all video games whenever possible so the only purpose purchasing a video game has is sentimental value, in which case a physical copy is worth much more than a digital one.

Since digital purchases are so awesome, let's all go play Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Oh you can't because you're not on Team Physical or Team Piracy. Like a fool. A clown. A bozo clowndick with a honky horn where his peepee should be. You disgust me and your games library will not survive the winter. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

i usually get stuff that seems like something i'd really like physically or otherwise stuff that seems like it'd be harder to get physically later because of resellers, aka "weeb rear end poo poo", which is why i have a copy of Soul Nomad and the World Eaters in the mail today

Where we all engage in the practice of telling one another that the other party is full of dumb stupid doo-doo heads because they bought the right game the wrong way. Honestly people that think one way is inherently better than another are the only dummies here, both have benefits and downsides. I had GBA games that were rendered unplayable because of failing batteries causing saves to never work, for example. Buying digitally doesn't contribute as much to the production of plastic and non-decomposables. It also means being beholden to storsge devices or whims of digital storefronts. Buying physically means having a copy that you can use later. Buying physically also means potentially losing or breaking the thing - my copy of FF Theatrythm 2 flew out of my DS when it fell out of my pocket while running for the bus and there went my saves and my money - went on sale digitally later though!

Hello goons I have just enterred the Nintendo Switch ecosystem and I love it! I've been playing a large amount of Kirby on Switch (i know, i know...) but I was wondering if any other of the classic Nintendo franchises have transitioned over well? Particularly that yarn Yoshi game and any game that has Samus in it

I started playing through metroid dread and one thing specifically is really bugging me (I'm a little over 2 hours in): the way they'll plop rubble, debris, a weird plant, etc, in random hallways to actively prevent you from going back and exploring when you get a new item. I understand wanting to guide the player, and wanting the player to not waste hours backtracking before they should; but they went a little too far with it in this one imho
