    Didn’t read the article, did Nintendo pay to develop this to be able to preserve the games history and release them for free so they can get some new fans for these retro games and IPs to maybe encourage them to buy some newer released games in the same series?

        Maybe it was written that way to make you read faster as you get toward the end to convey a sense of facetiousness because I didn’t need to read the article to know none of that’s true, who knows. I’m probably just spending too much time online lately.

      Exactly, with Nintendo’s existing IP and old gamers dying, they need a way to get younger generation exposed to what kids in the 80s and 90s grew up with and make sure that it’s plastered on all the streaming websites to get maximum exposure.
