Porblem I have with digital on nintendo stuff is they are linked to a console and not the user account. I have a shitload of digital games from when they had the "buy MK8 and choose one of these for free" deal at MK8 launch and I had a good thing going but now if the Wii-U dies it's a hassle to transfer them to a new console
First time I've done any console gaming in roughly 6 years and I forgot how expensive buying games can be. So used to getting stuff for dirt cheap on Steam. I think I typically pay full price for a title once or twice a year. Do people still rent quite a bit or just buy everything? And other than MK8 and SSB, are there any other games that are a must buy over rent?
Games are linked to the your NNID, but as of now your NNID is linked to your console. They are slowly moving to have the account be independent of the console but not there yet.

I buy physical copies, mostly used. I like to trade them in once I have my fill, of course some I will keep forever like mk8.
I see zero value in a new copy when a used one functions in the exact same capacity. I have never had an issue with a pre played disk. I have an eb games card (Canada's gamestop) so I get 10% off used games and 10% more trade in credit and try to couple the with quarterly buy 2 get one free deals. i end up with a huge backlog of games that average out to $10-15 bucks each. The rare time I want a brand new game they often give An extra 30% trade in value on preorders, if I can wait a week you can often get a week old trade ins for $5 bucks off + 10% off.
I am super jealous of the best buy USA game club, we have nothing like that at Canadian best buy.

I think he was replying to this:
Technically it's PS/Xbox control layouts that are backwards since Nintendo invented the D-pad and 4 button control scheme

Yep. Most of the time I cannot get used to the controls. They really need to work on that shit.
There are a couple mini-games in Nintendoland that use it. Not sure what else yet.
He's complaining about buttons being reversed - but Nintendo invented the original placement and Sony/ms are the ones who inverted the standard. I get that if you are used to ps/Xbox layout then going to Nintendo takes getting used to but doesn't mean their layout is wrong. Change the button mapping yourself, most games have it.
