See heres my biggest problem as a potential nintendo collector if they did take that approach with these games with there artificial scarcity they make with cartridges is the fact they killed there market for games with day one patches unless they address this 3ds and wii u should be enough that all forms of nintendo fans can agree from a collectors standpoint to a gamer standpoint they fail on all fronts so who is nintendo marketed too apple fans who might actually buy all those games each console generation and lose it the next is that what nintendo is trying to sell us a scarcity game maker i wont support that

The people out there that are using Iwata's death as a weapon against Nintendo in a disgusting and disturbing way that disturbed a bunch of innocent people online. Using both Iwata's death and Reggie isn't going to make a difference. Nintendo had issues of their own back then when both of them were still around. Also the whole using Iwata's death situation needs to stop.

[@Link21Majora]

It's certainly impressive how Nintendo always angers its fans, but manages to get the fans to still buy their products and services.

[@a.liguria2698]

It's because, at least in their case, most times it's actually more a matter of people being complainers that are never satifsfied, rather than the company doing something genuinely shady and bad... The day in which Nintendo will fall into releasing broken games, that may or may not get patched later on, and an ocean of pre order dlc stuff, and microtransations everywhere, will be the day where even Nintendo's golden image compared to many others will crumble.

[@darkthorn45]

well its not like a petition nor poll of seriously changing the management of nintendo will change them and its not like nintendo will sell their game rights to other companies when fans shout out in media that just cause they like their games doesn't mean we like them...so i guess those games will stay with nintendo till foreseeable future.

Blame scalpers more than Nintendo, then. Even Sony and Microsoft are victims of scalpers when the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S came out, preventing people from getting them. Concerning Nintendo's use of special editions, you do know they stated making them in short prints already before they even come out. That's why they're called ''Special Editions'' and not ''Deluxe Editions'' or ''Collector's Editions''.

[@TurkeyFaceX]

You missed arguably the worst thing Nintendo has done in recent years. The lack of legacy content and ways to enjoy it on their latest platform. Removing the Virtual Console was unbelievable, it was far superior to the laughable Online Service they have today. We already went through the drip feed, and we had to go through it all over again. Additionally Virtual Console would have been perfect with the Switch's handheld side, why have the device check online if you can play a game on a freaking handheld, where on Virtual Console you buy it and you can just play it! Then there's the lack of past platforms playable on the Switch. Why can't I play Gamecube or Wii games? Where are all the handheld games? Why won't Nintendo let us play their classic games on current hardware? It makes no sense and preserving their rich history should be something they value as the fans certainly do and its easy money for Nintendo. This isn't rocket science, yet despite all the fans begging to bring this to their modern hardware they would rather you be content with the crappy services they do provide and forget their great history... for some reason.

Ultimate could have used less Fire Emblem characters. I don't know anything about F.E or know anything about the characters (I probably don't have a right to complain) but the spots that were available could have been saved for other characters. Waluigi is one of them. I know Ed Boon said he would have liked to have Raiden or Liu Kang added to the roster if they asked him, but because of censorship, they passed that up.

[@TheSuperSmashBros01]

I love Nintendo as much as the next gamer but I completely agree with this list. What make work for them from a business perspective doesn’t mean the fans will be onboard. And I don’t get the point of delisting Super Mario 3D All Stars after it’s been out for a few weeks. Especially since it’s really barebones, cost sixty bucks at its release, and doesn’t offer new content aside from soundtracks. And the fact that they do everything in their power to destroy tournaments for competitive Smash and put out copyright strikes for music or showing gameplay of their games and without putting those games’ soundtracks on any music platform is really pushing it. Come on Nintendo stop these kind of practices! It just angers your fans more than making them happy.

[@whiteangelskys]

It was so many years that Nintendo released a good Metroid game after Super Metroid. But the fans wanted a good 2-D Metroid game.Years ago I read in to EGM magazine Nintendo said: We promise to release a 2-D Metroid game if you shut up reminding us about it. I think that was so rude to say to your customers.And ever since then, I never bought another Nintendo console.

I don’t know if it’s Nintendo fans specifically or fandom in general, but it seems like fans feel entitled to get exactly what they want and are critical when they don’t get it. Wind Waker is the perfect example. If fans got exactly what they had wanted we probably would have received a good Zelda entry, but would have missed out on a masterpiece. Getting exactly what you want hampers innovation and leads to repetitive IPs like CoD or Madden.

You know what's funny? Is that people been babbling about game preservation and that they started resorting to piracy because Nintendo wouldn't do anything with their huge back catalogue but then you start noticing a bit of double standards because when Nintendo digs deep into their back catalogue and digs up lesser known titles, people will bitch and moan about it and say they'll start using emulators because Nintendo doesn't give them what they want. Turns out game preservation is only valid for the big titles everybody wants to play... So, let me tell you, game preservation is just as important for big games like Mario and Metroid as it is for shitty titles like Dr. jakyll and Mr. Hyde. Show me your ROM folders and tell me what games other than A Link To the Past and and Super Metroid are in it. If Nintendo didn't push tor these smaller titles some people would never touch them even through piracy
