I know you probably *didn’t* like this because I was mean to Nintendo, but I complain because I care.A Wii Homebrew Project to play GC Games on Wii and vWii on Wii U Features: I feel like Sega gets this right now….and Nintendoesn’t. That’s what makes it easy to be a fan, and helps keep these fun entertainment products… fun! I want to actually be able to buy the products I want without jumping through a million hoops. I want to feel like I’m getting a good deal. I know that’s probably a sound business strategy, and I know that corporations don’t often have people’s best interests at heart…but it’s rarely so transparent. This is nothing new in the gaming/tech industries. Nintendo is making products that feel designed to pull more money out of their most ardent customers. And they pushed back their online service to early next year. And rather than focusing entirely on increasing production…they’re devoting resources to tiny SNES’s and the New 2DS XL. The Switch launched feature-incomplete, but people are still so excited about it that Nintendo can’t keep up with the demand. The NES Classic was one of their fastest selling products ever…so they killed it. And it’s bothering me more than it would have a decade ago. But I feel like they’ve gone down a weird anti-consumer experimental rabbit hole. And you don’t lose any money for giving their games a shot, nor do you have to pay exorbitant eBay prices or stand in line at a Target at 3AM. They’re putting new stuff out at a regular clip, and it’s all the same price of free.Īnd sure, they have some performance issues to sort out…but they’re fully committed to doing so. Sega isn’t limiting the release schedule. Sega isn’t doing limited hardware runs that are nigh-impossible to find. Sega isn’t requiring people to buy plastic boxes they don’t already own.

The best way to beat free emulators is to give out your games for free, and monetize them sensibly. His passion clearly shows.īut even with the hiccups, this is still such a better way to treat consumers than what Nintendo is doing. This wonderfully hilarious and testy Eurogamer interview came out this morning, and I appreciate that the Sega guy actually went through the whole thing. I’m that horrible guy who can say “well I haven’t had any issues on my device.” It seems like they developed it for the fastest devices first, and they’re going to work on optimizations now across lesser-powered phones. I like that Sega is calling it a soft launch. I know that the launch hasn’t been smooth on every mobile device. And it came in a tiny NES with tiny short cords for the controllers. And although it sounds like Nintendo is thinking of trying a cool new low-cost subscription method for users to access old games, we won’t know how good it is until its launch sometime next year. When the Switch “launched” earlier this year, it didn’t even have a Virtual Console. Also, only the New 3DS is powerful enough to run the available Super NES games.Īnd let’s not even talk about the abandoned “3DS Ambassador” GBA titles.

The 3DS brought portable systems into the lineup, which was awesome…but the release schedule slowed to a trickle. The emulation got better…but you had to re-buy/”upgrade” your game library, or play them through the built-in Wii emulator. The Wii U retained the concept…but with a vastly reduced library of games. None of the follow-up iterations of the Virtual Console were as good as the first one. They added simple display options and easy save states. They did the work to go out and secure the licenses to several old systems, including non-Nintendo systems, and the emulation work was exemplary. I loved the way Nintendo handled this on the original Wii, with the Virtual Console. The only way to beat free is to make legal ownership easy and valuable to the user. So companies have to get clever, and ofter real additional value to the consumer. Sure, you could dump your own system and cartridges…but free classic games that’ll run on almost any device are just a click away. The challenge is that most of these older games are available through shady and sometimes illegal means, often for free, thanks to the world of emulators and rom dumps. It happens all the time, and has for years. Re-releasing emulated classic games is nothing new in the industry. It’s launching in September for 80 dollars and comes with 20 games…one of which is the previously unreleased Star Fox 2. The online video game community freakin g exploded this morning with the announcement of the SNES Classic Edition, ending months of rumors and speculation.
