@link12684 I couldn’t care less about the way things are trending. We have no reason to believe Nintendo will go past the NES generation with this current service. They’ve literally only said NES so far and anything else is speculation. The service is pitiful as is. Will it grow? Sure. At the current rate it will have 50 NES games I don’t care about by this time next year. WOOOOHOOOOO /s
Virtually console I know has games that I want on it from the GBA era and onward. I’ve purchased them in the past and still play them on my Wii U from time to time. I don’t want or need to pay $10/month for access to this Netflix style thing as the service expands, as there is no way the pricing stays the same as they add more console generations. I’d pay more in a year on that than I do when I buy 15 games on virtual console that I actually like.
@link12684 People only want a Netflix style service as an alternative to having to buy the same games repeatedly. I think if Nintendo could tie purchases to your nintendo account so they followed you across console generations that would be the best possible scenario.
They need to bring back Virtual Console but tie it to your Nintendo account so they follow you across console generations. I hate the current iteration of the bonus games thru Nintendo Online. If I could pay less and ignore it, I would.
They would need to severely overhaul it, include consoles that don't already have classic editions out, and majorly bump up the number of games coming before I'd come around.
They really only needed to tweak the virtual console to make it perfect, and instead they gave us a pile of NES games with online features that, while neat, are probably utilized by less than 1% of subscribers. It's depressing.
