How much money do Romulation save you?

Obiously people wouldn't have saved money, beacause they ACUALLY BOUGHT THE GAME after they TRIED it out.

 

Arent Wii Ware is for Wii only? so what the point having a DS demo there?

you obviously didnt get what the hell we awere talking about the whole time.

 

Actually, i wouldn't buy any games for ds if i didn't get to test it. (Except for LoZH)
COZ I'M POOR. ;D

 

yep...

i had to convince my dad (policeman) to let me commit piracy, because i wanted games and he wouldn't spend so much money on games...

guess what??...

he's more into piracy now than i do...

 

the police don't care and only enforce laws on piracy when they're told to buy a bigger fish

 

>_> Aside from the fact that I only just barely understood what you're trying to say...

Go Google "Everybody's Nintendo Channel" or something like that...you'll get what I'm saying.

 

The main point was to have DS demos on a wii channel which you can download from your wii via your DS, similar to the download and play that they have at games shops. Ever heard of wireless....? lol

 

sorry to break the news to you... DS owner =/= Wii owner = not all DS owner have Wii and not Wii owner have DS.

even Wii have wifi that can connect with DS, but I fail to see the point for Wii to have DS demo, unless Nintendo want to use it as some kind of lame marketing strategies.

 

I have a DS(and the no$gba, he he). But back to the topic, let's see, i have/had well over 200 roms so i saved more than, if I switched to GEICO, and it's so easy, a caveman can do it ;D. Meaning I can't add it up pretty much.

 

I never said they did. However, there are indeed quite a few out there who have both (like myself), so your point is......well, I'm not exactly sure that is a point, as I'm still having a little trouble understanding you...

...Aside from how having DS demos on the console was promised/mentioned early on in its lifespan, it would be for the exact purpose that Seph has been specifying the website is for: trying out games without having to buy them or going to a store and download from a Download Station's limited assortment. We've already got a website to see videos from VC games before buying them, so it only makes sense that DS games would be the next step. I fail to see how you can fail to see the point.

 

It hasn't saved me THAT much. Maybe $70? I've downloaded tons of ROMs, but most of the ones I have downloaded I would have NEVER bought anyway. =P

 

o.k, let me explain...

1. The real purpose for DS demo is for DS user to try the game before buying them, so since DS owner =/= Wii owner and vice versa, DS owner arent getting anything from it if they implement them in Wii, unless they are Wii user as well.

2. So there is no reason for nintendo to include DS demo in Wii unless they want to use Wii as a marketing tools, which totally kill the purpose of having DS demo in the 1st place. (see 1)

 

I've downloaded a lot of games, and the 15 I thought were going to be good, 10 sucked. At 30 U.S.D. per game I saved myself 300$. THen I went to buy the remaining five in order to support the people who make the games.

 

To be honest, I only use Romulation for games that aren't widely available or aren't available to me at all.......or the odd new game I really want and can't afford....otherwise I go out and buy my games...I feel you can't beat the feeling of a new game in its shiny packaging...

So Romulation has actually saved me very little money.....but it's not about money is it ??

 

Thats the way it is with me, you and a handful of others
But realistically, most of Romulations users probably wouldn't buy games even if they had the money....as it is cheaper and faster to just download them from sites like this.

Idealistically, Romulation and similar sites are helping the game development industry by helping people choose which games they feel are good enough to go out and spend money....and therefore ensuring that only good games are bought and companys cant churn the same crap out under a diff. title, making the industry more competetive...

But the fact is that the world is full of people interested in their own pockets at the present moment...they're only interested in getting as much as they can for nothing and don't spare a thought for the wider picture..

I go on rants sometimes....so please excuse me if I'm talking utter crap
