No joke this is 100% the case. When the DS first came out, all these loving stupid local news stations did reports on HOW CHILD PREDATORS ARE GOING TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR CHILDREN! TONIGHT AT 10. And you know what it was about? loving Pictochat that was built into the original DS.

poo poo like that is why they won't even allow you to use custom Miis in Smash online. Obviously it's not incapable of doing it. They just don't want news reports about Timmy playing Smash against Hitler.

The abysmal way they handle digital downloads is unrelated though.

I was you, then a local toy store went out of business and gave a big discount on a Barcode Battler. I got together what money I had and bought one. It continues to be what I remember as one of the stupidest decisions of my life.

i just watched a youtube review of barcode battler, and i have to say my illusions have been broken. i had envisioned something awesome like PokemonGO, except with barcodes. but the reality is much worse! my mother was right to refuse it to me

i am sorry for your childhood

You joke, but there's definitely some truth to the idea that Nintendo has failed to adapt to the growths and changes of the gaming scene. They still seem to think that games are the electronic toys of the early 90s

i was playing Fallout 2 and baldurs gate in the 90s. games haven't changed, nintendo just has their market niche

Then there's the benefit of piracy being ridiculously difficult (compared to iPhone, Android, and PC) on consoles. Excluding the Wii because that thing was hacked within like 2 years of release (the 3DS and WiiU took forever).

benefits of avoiding console piracy are offset by Nintendo consoles being so weak they are quickly emulated

lol nintendo doesnt release good games on virtual console

nintendo has been milking that heifer too long, the udder has dried up. its time to grind it up and get some hamburger. xbox and playstation both have online services for game, why not kick their rear end and do netflix for ROMs? none of this $5 for Castlevania 2 bullshit, just a monthly fee and i can play any and all NES/SNES/N64/Gameboy games i want on the Switch.

i might actually consider paying money for that

it's probably just me but one of the things I am most excited for re: The Nintendo Switch(tm) is that it will play virtual console games with online multiplayer. I will finally be able to prove I am Uniracers/Unirally champion :D

you can play emulators with online lobbies and multiplay on HappyChick emulator for android. most of the people to play against are from Hong Kong, and they mostly just play old arcade fighting games but you can play any ROM in theory. Happy Chick is a really great program, god bless the chinese:

Just buy a game from twenty years ago from the publisher and play it on an emulator with their logo in the corner. The money won't go to original developers anyway, but, uh, you'll ensure that, uh, more twenty year old games are available for legal purchase as emulators prepacked with a ROM. This is the only moral thing to do.
