Blog:Another Switch port that's a limited release... great.

I'm sure many of you have heard, but Nintendo announced that the first Fire Emblem game that came out on the Famicom in 1990 is finally getting localized for the West for the Nintendo Switch, but the catch to that is that this game, like Super Mario 3D All-Stars, is gonna be available for a limited time.

What is it with Nintendo and porting old games to the Switch and giving them limited releases? It can't be too expensive to just simply release them for all eternity like, y'know, every video game compilation ever, can it?

Hopefully at some point, the next few Switch ports of old games after this one flop so that Nintendo will have no choice but to stop giving games limited releases, just like how Capcom had been supporting the Switch up to now; for a while they'd been cheaping out on the console by putting one game on a cartridge and the other in a download code, but despite that, some of their Switch games like Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 and 2 were fairly successful, but their later Switch ports like Resident Evil Origins Collection tanked because of how bad their support was, leaving them no choice but to start releasing more new games on the Switch, like the recently announced Monster Hunter Rise.

If Nintendo keeps up their limited release practice, one of us might have to create a page about that in the future.
