The Nintendo Museum opened up yesterday, and tickets are randomly picked lottery style. I honestly can't tell if they did this out of greed or they knew that this place would be extremely crowded as there are no plans for one outside of Japan.
Honestly, other than being in a former Nintendo factory, this place doesn't seem special at all. It's no different to a Video Game Museum in Texas that I've been to. In fact, I think they copied the whole "play retro games with giant controllers" from the giant Pong console in that museum.

@xianc78 "hey guys, check out all the games that you can't legally purchase from us anymore!"
@beardalaxy I don't think companies should be obligated to re-release everything. Sure, it would be nice if they did, especially if the consoles or physical media they are on are rapidly dying or were on some obscure service like the Satellaview, but those are cases were most people agree that piracy is morally acceptable for those cases.
Even Nintendo doesn't seem to go after people who redistribute Satellaview ROMs. They probably realize that it is extremely unlikely that those games will ever be officially rereleased, so they turn a blind eye to them.
@xianc78 oh yeah i don't think companies should be obligated to rerelease everything either. i just think that if a certain amount of time has gone by without the company selling them, it shouldn't be illegal for them to be distributed freely. wishful thinking.
