    I remember borrowing a GBA with Golden Sun from a friend back in 2003 before going on a family trip. Don’t remember much of the trip but I remember Golden Sun vividly.

      Why buy them digitally when you wouldn’t even own them in the end anyway and would likely have to buy it again on the next generation?

        So I can have a legal copy that I don’t need to rent.

        Ideally Nintendo would just embrace emulation and sell roms, instead of renting them through their service.

          Buying digitally on Nintendo’s store is essentially renting with extra steps anyway.

            Not really. Their subscription service is renting because there’s a clear end-point. Buying digitally has an unclear endpoint, so it’s probably much longer.

            Ideally these ports would be available in physical format as well, or as a DRM-free ROM. The former might happen, but the latter certainly won’t.

        Dang. $20 for the standard and $50 with the expansion. That’s quite a jump.

        I just dropped PS Plus because of the price hike, so it’s cheaper than that. Buy it’s still quite a bit for a handful of games I would be renting. I was expecting it to be closer to $30-$35.

    I tried playing the first last year. Got 2 hours in and grew tired of it. The random encounters were too annoying.
