iption

it was 20 dollars to purchase on wii, but now i'd only have it rented for a year. maybe if there were enough games on their service, i'd consider staying subbed to it, but the selection is rather completely shitty atm, and i highly, highly doubt we'll ever see them add any third party titles like chameleon twist or bomberman hero or anything. virtual console was an amazing thing, and nintendo really had to find a way to nintendo all over it.

that's not a solution, it's more problems, especially considering modern TVs. nintendo needs to stop being shitty and miserly with their old games and throwing a fit when people find other ways to play them

Huh? You can still hook up an N64 to modern TVs. Unless theyve done away with composite hookups in the last three years since I got my OLED.

they largely have, but it doesn't matter, because posts like these are missing the forest for the trees. my simple point is that i shouldn't have to buy decades-old hardware or subscribe to their terrible service just because they decided to destroy the one good idea they had. obviously it'd be great if i still had all my old consoles and games, but that's not always how life works, and nintendo's been consistently shitting on fans when it comes to game availability/preservation, which is funny, considering how much of their brand is associated with nostalgia and legacy

no but you look like you want to play a retro game that is the PS2-era or earlier

Buy a Retro Pi for like $50 including case and controllers and figure it out. Then you can play more than Paper Mario.
