Exactly what Nintendo was hoping for. I can’t blame the developers, though. But this sucks.

Old ass game systems where it’s practically impossible or expensive to get the physical games anymore, let alone the console, with some titles locked to those systems, never to be enjoyed again except through emulation.

Yep. If anyone is using emulators, I would suggest keeping a copy just in case this spills over to all emulators.

And if you do manage to acquire a physical copy Nintendo isn't go to see any of the money you spent on it anyway
