I remember borrowing a GBA with Golden Sun from a friend back in 2003 before going on a family trip. Don't remember much of the trip but I remember Golden Sun vividly.

These are some great jrpgs with fairly difficult puzzles.

Why can't I just... buy it? Sell them for like $10-20 each and I'd buy them.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why buy them digitally when you wouldn't even own them in the end anyway and would likely have to buy it again on the next generation?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So I can have a legal copy that I don't need to rent.

Ideally Nintendo would just embrace emulation and sell roms, instead of renting them through their service.

Buying digitally on Nintendo's store is essentially renting with extra steps anyway.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Not really. Their subscription service is renting because there's a clear end-point. Buying digitally has an unclear endpoint, so it's probably much longer.

Ideally these ports would be available in physical format as well, or as a DRM-free ROM. The former might happen, but the latter certainly won't.

I guess I'm going to get NSO.

[–] skybreaker@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Yeah, just get a rom on your phone and play it for free

[–] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You'll also need expansion pass. Quite a bit for renting. :/

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Dang. $20 for the standard and $50 with the expansion. That's quite a jump.

I just dropped PS Plus because of the price hike, so it's cheaper than that. Buy it's still quite a bit for a handful of games I would be renting. I was expecting it to be closer to $30-$35.

Reality hit bro, meanwhile I'm enjoying PSP gaming in my hacked Switch 😂

[–] ioslife@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago

I tried playing the first last year. Got 2 hours in and grew tired of it. The random encounters were too annoying.
