In 1985, the NES was released. It had cartriges. Despite the fact that cartriges hold data, this could happen. If you lose the cartriges, your data is gone. That means if you lose a game cartridge of Pokemon Ruby for the GBA, all your pokemon are gone.
Later in 2001, Nintendo invented the Game Cube, which used Mini Discs. This brought an end to cartriges, even though the Game Boy Advance and the NintendoDS still use them. Discs do have a problem. They could easily get scratched, forgotton, and lost. Fortunately, the data is saved to the memory card, so your game data is safe.
When the Wii was released in 2006, it came with the Wii Shop channel, enabling gamers to purchase games without any manual delivering. First, the users have to purchase Wii Points from a store, then enter the code. First, it only allowed gamers to only download nostalgic titles from the 80s and 90s, like Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, and Super Mario 64.
In 2008, the App Store was released for the iPod Touch and the iPhone. Also in this year, WiiWare was introduced to the Wii. Both featured games you can download for some money. They are usually not that big. The WiiWare games are usually smaller and less interactive than the regular Wii games that required the disc.
With the fact and success of Wii Ware and the App Store, this idea may be applying to the next generation video game consoles and make discs and cartriges nostalgic. Introducing... Downloadable Games!!
In the future, all games will be available to download. The prices of the games range from $0.99, up to approximately $100. Some games and widgets are also available to download for free, just like the app store from Apple!
With this idea, what will happen to all the game stores like GameStop? Easy! Most of the stuff they will stock are cards! Just like Wii points, they all have a special code you have to enter They can range from $5 to approximately up to $250 in retail stores, and in rare cases, such as a contest, up to $5,000!
To avoid foreign price confusion, they use points. Each United States penny is worth 1 point. Which means the $5,000 card would be worth 500,000 points. This is similar to the Wii Points system.
But what about games that needs accessories like Guitar Hero? This is how it goes. First, the game is not available at the online store; you have to buy it at GameStop or some similar store. Second, when you buy the game with the accessories included, it comes with a card with a special code, just like the cards you use to get points. Enter the special code, and the game is downloaded. That way, you can enjoy Guitar Hero in the next generation.
But the question is: Can you enjoy your video games from the past? Sure. If you have a next gen Nintendo Console, you can buy an optional data transfer device. It transfers your data from any past generation console or handheld console to the next generation. With that idea, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo might have the ability to play any game from many old consoles.
Now, with that said, you can get any nostalgic game for a reasonable price. But if you already have that game (For Example: You already have some data of Mario Kart: Double Dash in your Game Cube Memory card), you get that game for free with no charge! This is also convinent, because if you already lost a copy of a game (For Example: You already lost a copy of Super Monkey Ball 2), and still have the data for that game, you still get the game with no charge. Even games that aren't widely known and have bad reviews (For Example: Shrek Swamp Kart Rally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svK8Zqrjghg) can still be played on that console.
The next-gen Nintendo gaming console would play games designed for it, the Nintendo Wii, NintendoDS, Nintendo3DS (Possibly), Game Cube, XBox, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance and any other past consoles, including Arcade. Just like the Wii, the NGNGC(Next-gen Nintendo Gaming Console) has not only the default controller, it also has a universal controller, which makes all games from previous generations playable. Not only that, you can customize what each button does.
Maybe the NGNGC might use the Nintendo3DS as a controller.
Whew! That's a lot! I'll be talking about more later. If you got any questions, please ask me and I'll be glad to answer for you.
