It’s unfortunate, I really hope Nintendo will change its mind on their retro games distribution. At least give Switch owners the option to buy the games offered on the NSO subscription and be able to carry them over to their next console without an upgrade fee. At this point, I would be happy if they add GBA and Gamecube to Expansion Pak subscription.

Nintendo president Furukawa said he grew up playing the Famicom, I interpreted as a hint he would be very open to give fans access to Nintendo’s library of retro games. Instead we get slow drip of Expansion Pak subscription that gives one N64 game a month that we also got on the virtual console.

Re: Poll: Do You Actually Want Switch Ports Wind Waker And Twilight Princess?

Can we please get an official announcement first before hyping us for something that might not be announced? It’s bad enough there were multiple articles about Goldeneye’s announcement being imminent, we all know what happened then. It’s fine to release a poll on this but please wait for an official announcement first.

If they do I would buy every release under it. I would love a Luigi’s Mansion, Pokémon Colosseum and Paper Mario Thousand Year Door on Switch. But the NES Classic line on GBA was a half effort that left out many classics such as Super Mario Bros. 3 and Kirby’s Adventure. The Gamecube classics line was attempted on the Wii under the motion control series but there were not many titles released for it. I hope you are right but I have doubts we will actually get it.

That’s good to know, but I guess that’s only good while we still are able to redownload our purchases. I really hope Nintendo will add a purchase option for retro games on their Switch Online subscription with the option to download our purchased games on older console for free like what Sony just announced. But given it’s Nintendo I have little expectation that they would do or even consider this.

Compared to Microsoft and Sony, it’s terrible how Nintendo handles purchased games carried to the next system. Basically if my Wii U dies everything not only from the Wii U but the Wii die with it. Nintendo’s competitors allow users to redownload purchased games on the next generation console without forcing the content on the previous console to be deleted. It’s unfortunate our purchases from the Wii U cannot be carried over to the Switch, basically typing all paid downloads to the fate of the console they were purchased on.
