Taken completely out of context
So, yeah.

I guess I'll never play Super Mario RPG or Final Fantasy 6 on the Wii U Gamepad. They'll never get the Miiverse posts they deserve.

I guess we just wait for the next console and maybe they'll port the games you actually want in three years?

No

But something about this doesn't mesh right. Gamestop announced a fuckton of retro console services and trade-ins opening up next week, and gamestop has gotten exclusive re-printings of older games before. So for nintendo to piss out now makes me wonder if they're going to start selling older games through other channels and in physical form. Because the SNES and n64 hardware and software are highly in demand right now.

Either they do SNES on Disc Compilations more frequently for the Wii-U or they decide to manufacture their own SNES and n64 clone consoles with new carts of well known games(Nintendo still has the components). It was only in 2005 did they stop repairing the famicom systems because the parts were getting harder to find to the point where repair did not turn a profit. But they still have all the game boards and plastic cases on hand.

you can do the wii softmod to the Wii-U's wii mode. But The Wii-U itself is a nightmare to use as an emulator.

Something something something Nintendo joining with a mobile developer and giving them their old games to release on android and IOS operating systems because that's been deemed more profitable than having a console system that very few people use something something something

Look at the release schedule it's like a glacier. We'll know for sure in 2 years time when nothing new comes out.

My aunt at nintendo has confirmed for me they're reviving the third pillar and the next big announcement is a mobile device running a modified version of the android firmware with the ability to boot into GBA mode and play both downloaded VC roms and actual carts from the physical GBA slot on the back, will read GB/C games too unlike the DS.

I imagine Nintendo ports or emulates every game individually instead of creating an SDK or API which can handle them all together. Seems like they should've figured that out when they started doing remakes and ports, especially for Virtual Console.

i really would spend a crazy amount of money on old games if they were priced well and nintendo does not give 3 shits.

I would pay thousands of dollars over the rest of my life in monthly subscription fees for access to a library of old games if nintendo ever let me.
