A First Look At E3 2006

GameDaily has a look at what we can expect from the big names at E3 this year. From the article: "It's do or die time for Nintendo as far as the company's future consoles are concerned. The Revolution will be a key portion of Nintendo's pre-E3 press event. We expect to see at least three titles up and running on the show floor, as well as a handful of titles in video form from Nintendo and a few third party developers. Nintendo will also be hyping up its retro downloads service for the Revolution, and will likely have several classics playable using the Revolution controller."

I already own Super Mario 3. Twice (the original cart and the game boy advance version). Therefore, I should be provided with free upgrades for life. If Nintendo feels different -- well, that's what the internets are for.

Okay, I know this probably a troll post, but I can't help but bite.

What you own is the physical medium the game came on, and whatever warranty that comes with them. If the cart stopped working yesterday, do you expect Nintendo to just give you a new one free of charge? It's the same way with ANY physical product. True, some products have a lifetime warranty, but last I checked, video games don't have that.

And Nintendo certainly didn't sell you the right to play SMB 3 till the end of time, no matter what platform it is on. In many cases, the re-releases of the game come with additional features, so you ARE getting more than just the original game. (Things like leaderboards, multiplayer functionality, hidden levels, etc.) Typically the re-releases are cheaper than standard titles, which most folks think is fair enough. But it's certainly not free.

If you still think Nintendo is screwing you over and thus will pirate every copy of every Nintendo game you've ever owned, then so be it. Just don't complain if they go out of business a few years later, due to low sales.
