Miyamoto on Used Games: You should be able to play the games you own forever

''What's really important is viewing Nintendo almost like a toy company where we're making these things for people to play with," he said. "As a consumer you want to be able to keep those things for a long time and have those things from your youth that you can go back to and experience again.

"I really want to retain that product nature of the games that we create so that people can do that and have that experience. To me that's something that's very important about entertainment itself. So from the approach of continuing to create things that are entertaining for people, that's an important direction for me that I want to maintain.Miyamoto

Nintendo and Sony get it; Microsoft does not.

It's sad that even Nintendo has to tell Microsoft that blocking used games is stupid.

It's true but the hardware will melt before reaching anywhere close forever :P

:lol: XPwned. It's like Nintendo told Microsoft why Sony kicked them in the balls lmfao. 

To keep a game you first need to buy a game worth buying. Nintendo doesn't have that so his comment is worthless.silversix_

Its funny. Even with the current state of the WiiU, Nintendo is still *****ing on the One:lol:

How much farther can Microsoft sink before they start to try and swim away from their horrible policies.

Also, Miyamoto continues to be Miyamoto, which is awesome being awesome.

what does this have to do with used games? sounds more like it should be to do with always onlinequidy123

No one trades in Nintendo games anyway. They hold their value for what seems like ever.

 Perhaps in some way, someone will find the time and money to make a server and keep the Wii version up longer.

I mean Phantasy Star Online 2 for the Gamecube is still going.

Legit.

so how does that feel the godfather of mario shitting on you assholes saying used games=piracy?

This is why I love Miyamoto. He knows what he's talking about.

M$ has made it too easy for everybody else. Miyamoto is correct but he is only stating the obvious. It is sad that M$ screwed up so bad they made owning your games a system selling feature for people now. It lowers everybody's standards of how hard they have to try.
