i think it might be cheaper to buy an OG NES and all 30 game cartridges than pay the obviously insane scalper prices that some ebay sellers think they're gonna get.

Nullsmack posted:So wait, the last Nintendo console I bought was a Wii and even then I never used the online store with it. If you buy virtual console games on there, they don't transfer to any newer generation consoles you might buy? Am I reading that right? WTF if so. You can access your Wii VC purchases though Wii Mode on the Wii U (provided you system transferred). And a lot of games got rereleased on the Wii U eShop and you can buy anything you owned on the Wii VC for the Wii U VC at a substantial discount. mutata posted:Virtual Console purchases have always been tied to the console, not any kind of personal account. There have been a few methods to transfer purchases from one 3ds to a new one, but never cross generational. Incorrect. Since the advent of the NNID, all purchases have been tied to that.

If you lose or break your system, your NNID (and all your games) can be remotely transferred to a replacement.

s.i.r.e. posted:If the game's were only tied to your NNID then you wouldn't need the license transfer, they're still tied to the console still. Your games are tied to the NNID; the NNID is tied to a console. If the games were only tied to the console, there would be no way to recover them if you broke your 3DS. But, thankfully, they're tied to your account, which can be relatively freely moved around.

Waltzing Along posted:The games are tied to the NNID to the console to the generation. Once you migrate stuff up from the Wii to the Wii U, it gets tied to your NNID. The NNID did not exist on the Wii, and as such there's no way to log in with it on the Wii.

The good news for Nintendo magazine aficionados is that a group of fans banded together and started the Nintendo Force Magazine. It started coming out a couple months after Nintendo Power shut down, and has continued bimonthly since then. https://www.patreon.com/NintendoForce The tiers say "per month", but the Patreon only bills in months that they actually release an issue, so it's a bimonthly charge.

katkillad2 posted:I'm always sad when I've finished my Gameinformer on the shitter. I am definitely a Nintendo fan, but I just can't imagine how they have enough material to work with to make a regularly released magazine. In-depth reviews and previews mostly; with a lengthy interview segment as well. Looking at my most recent issue: Pg 1-2 Cover and inner-cover blurb Pg 3 Table of contents Pg 4-7 reader-submitted letters, fanart, etc Pg 8-13 News; quick rundown of things like "Here's the N2DSXL, Funko Pop has classic gaming mini figs, Samus figma, Sonic 25th Anniversary statue, etc Pg 14-25 Coverage of downloadable titles, including news and speculation on the NES titles that'll be offered with the paid Switch online service. Pg 26 Comic Pg 27-34 Main feature; this issue's is about "The element of surprise", and is a look back on surprising E3 announcements and the like. Pg 35-53 Previews; Mario+Rabbids gets 3 pages, Mario Odyssey 2, most everything else is a one pager, or 2 small blurbs to a page. Pg 54-55 A brief discussion of spoilers, and how spoilers can affect gaming Pg 56 Comic Pg 57-60 Retro section; flashback to the surprise that was the rest of the game in DK94, a character profile on Rabbids, and a page about what Nintendo Power looked like 15 years ago this month Pg 61-63 Interview with Brent Black and Julian Spillane Pg 64 Comic Pg 65-77 Reviews of new releases Pg 78-81 Community section. This one has an Interview with Arlo, and a look into fan productions like the Mystery World Dizzy fan release. Pg 82 Next Issue Preview Pg 83-84 Inner back cover blurb and back cover

Drowning Rabbit posted:If it weren't for the Switch, I would be totally into getting some print Nintendo Force. I have no desire for a Switch though, so I feel like the vast majority of the coverage would be wasted on me. They're still covering a lot of 3DS stuff. And yeah, you can buy their back-catalog. Some of the oldest issues are PDF only at this point, but they've got the last year or two's work in physical still.

Out of curiosity, do we know for sure that the SNES Classic is going to have a USB plugin like the NES did? If they go with a proprietary power cord instead of USB, there goes easy hacking.

The US has pretty lovely consumer protection laws, and if I recall correctly, preorders fall in all sorts of legal grey area.
