It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Nintendo's problem with older consoles. Anyone who's owned a Nintendo console with internet access knows that Nintendo has a bad habit of permanently disconnecting them after a set number of years. For games that rely heavily on internet access, that means they're pretty much unusable now. Along with this, despite willingly disabling the online features, Nintendo still advises against using unauthorized options to reconnect the platforms to the internet. This is solely so you'll have to buy new ones, because obviously that's how they make money. Although I like Nintendo games and consoles, this is a really awful thing to do to your consumers. Not everyone can afford to buy the new things, and they could still make money through previous consoles if they didn't get rid of that option. It would cost almost nothing to keep the online shops open, and they could still earn money from people who prefer the older consoles. But instead, they just shut them down entirely and just about lock the consoles and games. This is kind of silly anyways, considering it could still make them money; and it's a weird choice from a business standpoint when people are still using the older ones. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Hopefully this isn't a permanent thing and they'll eventually fix the older consoles, but I doubt it. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
