Exactly. I could understand if it was a movie you really love...MAYBE, but I just think the UMD's are completely worthless. Why pay the same or more for a disc without special features and you can only watch on a tiny screen? What's the point?

Especially when running that disc will burn out the battery before the end of most all movies. It's pointless.

Now, if they were half the price of DVD's, seeing as they are half the quality and missing the extras, it would be a deal. But as it is, they are charging for the fact that it can go in your pocket. No way in hell, thank you, goodbye. UMD's are worthless.

Well. I cant speak for the next gen or anything like that, because i dont have the knowledge or the drive to care about them, but i will say that my nintendo system still works. while my PS1 is more or less a paper weight. My super nintendo is still played on atleast a weekly basis too.

and im not a brand loyalist. I like all the systems. but i will say that the nintendo people seem to actually put out a product that works. and stays working. just my 2 cents. Not trying to step on any toes.

Remember how in the early 2000's people thought Nintendo was doomed?

I like Nintendo and Mario and stuff but when it basically became the 'Mario' console above all else, I jumped ship.

I mean Nintendo made bank with Mario and Link, sure but it also built itself with the Castlevanias, Contras and so forth during the 8-bit era and Street Fighter played a big hand in the SNES beating the Genesis for a while. Seeing the Nintendo 64 abandon most if not all of those properties to just focus on Mario and Yoshi and what-have-you killed my buzz and made me go to the Playstation that would continue on with Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Darkstalkers, etc.

Same with Game Cube and the Wii, the Wii U and now the Switch. Most of the games I care about are PS4 exclusives or will come mega-late for the Switch. Every time someone talks about some cool game there's the one dude in the back saying 'what about the Switch?' I'm like 'what ABOUT the Switch? Sorry you didn't get a PS4?'

I'm not saying Nntendo will go away. It can obviously live off just Mario and Pokemon and what-have-you on their own. I just have no interest into buying another Nintendo console unless they bring in all the other series I care about too.

Nintendo has 15-20 different franchises on Switch (and consoles before it), it's far from just Mario/Pokemon.

Still, the majority is still Mario, Zelda, Pokemon and all the crossover games.

Well Nintendo has always missed the majority of big third party games each gen, its been like that since the N64 days so we're all used to it by now.

But in terms of just Nintendo games:

Mario has Odyssey, 3D All-stars, 3D World, Mario Kart 8, Paper Mario: Origami King, Luigi's Mansion 3, Yoshi's Crafted World, Mario Maker 2, New Super Mario U, and the various sports/party games.

Zelda has Breath of the Wild, Link's Awakening, Hyrule Warriors 1 and Age of Calamity, and more remasters and Breath of the Wild 2 on the way

Pokemon has Sword/Shield and Let's go Pikachu/Eevee

Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze is on Switch

Animal Crossing, Splatoon 2, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Xenoblade 2, Smash Bros, Pikmin 3, Kirby Star Allies, Bayonetta 1-2, etc.

Only Nintendo franchises not on Switch yet is Metroid but its coming, and besides the current dead franchises like Starfox, F-zero, Kid Icarus and Punchout until Nintendo decides to revive them again.
