I think it is, but that's fair enough mostly.

But where I do think it's egregious is that I don't think they're paying enough attention to NSO overall,
which Switch 1 owners are still paying for.

@Uncle_Franklin NSO should have at least one game per system a month at this point. I'd even say do a new game weekly, especially since there are still some significant gaps on Game Boy and Game Boy Advance alone. And that's not even including the handful of heavy hitters that are missing on N64 and Virtual Boy and the massive Gamecube library that they've barely even scratched the surface on.

@Uncle_Franklin @ElRoberico Yeah last year after Switch 2 launched almost all of the focus switched to GCN on NSO for Switch 2, but because of the small team that handles NSO and the sheer size of GCN games compared to the other emulated games/consoles on the service they are only able to pump a single GCN game out per update and that has pretty much slowed every other supported library's updates down to a barebones trickle.

Hopefully Nintendo has allocated more resources to NSO so we can get more updates for other consoles and maybe 2-3 GCN games per update when that is the library they're updating instead of just one game lol. 🤷

@TensuraFan7 I don't even mind one game if they're regularly updating games. I thought we would have gotten Mario Sunshine by now with the release of the movie. Or a Star Fox game so people had something to check out with the new one. And it's fine they haven't. It's just not like the best case scenario.

At this point that would look like this: Nintendo picks a day of the week, let's say Thursdays. On the first Thursday of the month, they add some sort of NES/SNES support that they don't have already. Next week is at least 1 N46 game. Third week is a Game Boy game and a GBA game. Fourth week is GameCube. And if you have a fifth, or even just quarterly, they add something to Sega Genesis or Virtual Boy.
