Otosan: Nintendo 3DS Edition isn't essentially an amazing game or, at first glance, a genius purpose, but it does reflect how we view video games as consumers.
Video Games are, and maybe will always be, a disposable product for the corporations that produce them. The time we spend at what we buy only really matters for companies to receive the money and make statistics, and the end of the digital stores of the last console generations shows how much they really don't care about those products.
The point is: if we consumers continue to find this somehow correct to the point of defending companies and accusing those who try to escape the shackles of the bizarre concept of "intellectual property," video game media will increasingly be buried once and for all.
Of course, Super Mario's and The Legend of Zelda's will definitely be released and re-released, but games like Otosan? They will be buried and erased from our history.
