@JohnnyMind Agreed. It's kinda sad that it's left down to the community to preserve de-listed games. Licensing should be for life, not time restricted in video games.
Maybe they will patch it before it goes offline? But yeah, all modes are locked now except online, until the servers go.
@ThePizzaCheese It being a subscription makes it easier for Nintendo to control if they did release them on PC. Sometimes I wonder if Ninty just hate money?
@ThePizzaCheese "You can also transfer them from Wii, Wii U and 3DS. Or you can even copy your physical games yourself."
Yeah, I mentioned the classics as they are the most recent system unless you have a OG Switch. Though I don't believe you can extract ROMs from the NSO wrapper.
I dumped all my physical discs to ISO/CHD years ago and put them in storage.
I would gladly pay for a SNES/NES collection of ROMs similar to the Genesis Classics on Steam, but I can't see Nintendo ever doing that sadly

"...It'll still be playable, just not online..."
Only if you bought it, which is no longer possible now.
Re: New Nintendo Joystick Patent Could Spell The End For Future Drift Issues
Hall Effects, Nintendo are trying to patent a slight variation on Hall Effects joysticks.
This patent is actually from 2020, but was just approved in the US patent office.
I recently acquired a NYXI Wizard, those have hall effect sticks, they are pretty schmick!

@dimi But they did? It's linked in the 2nd paragraph...
Re: Capcom's 40th Anniversary Site Is An Incredible Digital Museum With Playable Retro Games
@Pigeon They did a few years ago on Steam for their 60th. In fact the profile wallpaper that was given looks very similar to this one.
They also gave away a bunch of unreleased prototype games such as the cancelled Golden Axe prototype.

Re: Atlus Remembers N64 Classic Snowboard Kids On Its 25th Anniversary
Why not release the games on the N64 app as well? That would be a much better way to celebrate.

Re: You Can Now Play NES Games On The Analogue Pocket
@Hck Fun Fact: You can install a custom kernel to the NES & SNES classics and transfer the ROMs to PC.
Probably the closest we will get to "legal" Nintendo ROMs sadly.
