Yeah I opened and closed the nes and snes apps several times when I was connected and it never checked (no way to force it to check either). I thought since that was the case since the 30 days would be up in the middle of the week I’d be set till the next check on Saturday and enjoy them until then……nope it knew when the sub was up and cut me off.

@Yoshif3
Not when you can’t reliably connect it’s not. Believe it or not internet doesn’t exist everywhere. Even if it was I wouldn’t be using the online service outside of the classic games and that is an ongoing yearly fee compared to buying games I’d play indefinitely.

@KoopaTheGamer
Like that meme why not both. I certainly don’t play online which kinda defeats the point of an “online play” subscription. They’d make money either way.

@KoopaTheGamer
Just having the internet connected to the switch once a week isn’t enough. The switch has to want to check in. Every time I’ve subscribed a month or so I’ve always only had access two weeks out of the four I’d paid for. It always wants to check in around 10 pm when I’m at home with no connection on a Saturday and I don’t feel the special need to make a special trip to town burning expensive gas just to connect to the internet! It would be better to just buy them individually and play them indefinitely with no restrictions. Especially since to get these I’d have to pay $50 a year for something I’ll only be able to play for about half of that time on a service on which most of its features I’ll never use!

I’d rather purchase them and play them anytime I choose than have to rely on an internet connection at the dangdest times to check in.

Konami is not a small Indy developer. Why are they using Limited Run? The TMNT collection got an non LRG physical run and sold well. These would sell just as well in the same space. I hate relying on LRG. They are far to slow.

I’d like to see Valkyria Chronicles 3 and a new shining force.

@nukatha
I picked up the Jedi Knight games and racer/commando double packs at Walmart for $20 a piece. If it was a complete collection I’d resell those just so I could have a full collection.

The physical is cheaper than the digital? Wow! If it didn’t require a download and was complete on one cart (or maybe had 2 carts in the box since there is so much unused space inside) I’d buy this.

@SwitchForce
Thing is they severely underestimated demand. They did this before with physical copies of FF pixel remasters. High demand but very few produced, the standard edition sold out in no time at all! Let’s not forget the whole kingdom hearts debacle being cloud only either. That’s even less switch owners being able to actually play or buy their products.

Solution? Make more physical copies soon. It’s that simple. Consumers want it physically.

@Ded_Nexus
Physical lasts much longer and is a godsend for consumers like myself who live in rural areas that don’t have decent access to internet. I can just go to the store and buy it pop it in and begin playing. The only way I’d ever consider going full digital is if abd only if they guarantee all the games I purchased on switch will just transfer over to the next console over and over throughout all upcoming gens.

Acknowledging fans demand and passion for an IP is one thing. Actually doing something meaningful to said fans is another.

Would be preferable if Nintendo did a similar service and allowed you to purchase individual games.

@TheExile285
Best they can do on that front is Justice League Task Force and Superman 64 on NSO.

@Kekshook
You realize it only has Asylum on the cart right?

@Dm9982
Thing is it’s hard to justify buying an online subscription when you never play online or make use of what’s on offer on the differing tiers. The only thing I myself want is access to “select”games I want. I had that with VC but not with NSO. Heck even now buying third party collections they get games on the service while the collections don’t like the recent adding of Castlevania Legends.

@Don
Preaching to the choir I see…………..good luck. Apparently people don’t want to own anything anymore.

Picking up Star Ocean. Then I’ll continue playing my physical Operation Wolf Returns, Coffee Talk Duology and Crymachina.

I’d rather purchase Legends and play indefinitely. Let me know when they decide to offer more options than subscribing to an online service.

@SilentHunter382
Would’ve been better had the multiplayer been free dlc instead of a forced update. In fact Konami could’ve put the games on a mid size cart had they put all the heavy memory videos and bonus pizazz behind free dlc on the eshop.

@Chaotic_Neutral
Maybe because they worry about the longevity of the product? Or like me do not have internet at all times.

@Vivianeat
You get both the msx games (metal gear and metal gear 2) and the nes games (metal gear and snakes revenge).

@Serpenterror
Don’t forget Mickey Circus Caper, Duck Tales 2 GB, mickeys dangerous chase, Mickey mousecapades……

We need the Disney afternoon collection for switch. After all this time as well we need some new extras like maybe the Gameboy versions being added along with Bonkers.

@Dhuuth
I’m not buying it either if they are going to be cheap. Same with the Batman collection and metal gear as well. If they are going to be scummy I’ll not support them.

@5th313ment
They’ve made money hand over fist off these games several times over. They can spring for a larger size cart to put the complete game on.Especially charging the same price as it was on previous hardware. 26gb here and 15gb there on supposed physical releases add up and even with a TB memory card it eats it up fast. Physical forever!

So is it a complete physical?

Maybe they are going to change the physical to be on three carts in the box or have asylum and city on one while knight has a stand alone release.

No way to purchase it so I’ll pass.

@JohnnyMind
Even if reload does come to switch or it’s successor you’re still not getting the complete P3 story. I honestly don’t know what’s so hard about making a definitive version of the game with content from all three releases (Female main character, party control and The Answer).

I’ll be skipping this. No games included on the cart at all so I’ll not support this lazy attempt of a cash grab.

Nah not a game I can get behind but I’m happy for those that love it and animal crossing because I never will.

This seems all to similar to the drama earlier in the year with Wizards of the Coast and the open game license for D&D.

@mrMike
To be fair there’s only been what 3 FZero console games, 2 or 3 GBA games and one arcade game. Of the console games (snes, 64 and GameCube) the latter two didn’t sell as many consoles as the competitors either.

Anyway if they had looked online at any message boards concerning FZero they would’ve seen that GX would’ve been the more appropriate choice. It has something for everyone on switch from single player modes (especially story mode) to online play. I don’t see how a free game to subscribers tells them any viable information. They play the game because it was free and can only be played with said subscription.

@mrMike
Kinda hard to vote with your wallet when it’s a free download only available to subscribers. The only FZero I own is GP Legend and it’s a used copy. Now if they were to sell me the others I’d be more than happy to purchase them.

@abe_hikura
Nope not subscribing to play it. If they sold FZero on the snes classic game app I would buy it there and play it offline. That would be the better way to judge interest, if the game actually sells! All this tells Nintendo is that online subscribers like these 99 games that they have to perpetually pay a yearly fee for.

@Orpheus79V
I think GX would’ve been the better gauge of interest. Seriously do they never check fan forums or anything?!

@Orpheus79V
Well it’s a F zero game for sure just not what everyone was expecting so that would be the drawback of the wish.

@mrMike
Without the subscription it does nothing. It’s just a waste of space then.

@mrMike
It’s free yes but unplayable without the subscription. So ergo to play it’s a perpetual yearly fee. They could have it with a offline single or local multiplayer and it would be played by those without subs.

@mrMike
It’s not free. It costs you perpetually.

@judaspete
Not if you aren’t a subscriber it isn’t.

I’m excited for this. As soon as a physical is confirmed like G.I. Joe I’ll be there!

If this gets a physical with no download required I’ll buy it for sure. Otherwise I’ll pass like I have on all their collections and games so far. Seriously why are they so dang cheap?!

@sanderev
You can buy used physical copies after it’s delisted from digital storefronts.

@Vyacheslav333
Copyright law varies country to country. Take the new Evangelion set for example where even though they are covers of “Fly me to the Moon” it’s only available in the Japanese release while all others had to use a piano cover of Rei’s theme for the ending sequences.

@greengecko007
That’s unfortunate. In ygo, unless it’s changed in the last few months, you can use cards from any set as long as you adhere to the banned/limited lists and if a card has an errata the new ruling counts.

I used to collect the cards so is the game structured so you can use older cards? (Say from the first team rocket expansion from back in the day in a current tournament) YGO allows you to use cards from any era.

I need to hunt up my copy of Pokémon Pinball GBC.
