Re: Kirby's Adventure And Super Mario Bros. 2 Join The Switch Online NES Library This Month

@fortius54 actually, the schedule for NESflix fits perfectly if we think about it: licensing complications means the service will have roughly the same library the VC did i.e. ~ 100 NES / 150 Famicom games total. At this rate, it'll take about 2 years to complete this library and, considering a console shelf life of 5-7 years then, well, it fits. SNESflix should be also hold roughly the same library its VC predecessor had, ~ 50 games.

All (arguably) classics but a wasted opportunity to release Joy Mech Fight 'officially' outside Japan - you don't need to read anything to enjoy the game, the menus are easy to figure out.

This pace is still not enough considering the NES/Famicom library. Unless in the plan is do to deliver the same games on the VC - NES has only ~ 100 titles in NA, Famicom has ~150 in Japan (Wii U VC). So with the Switch having a planned 'life' circle of 6-7 years... (100 - 20)/(3 * 12) = 2.222 ~ 2 years and 4 months 'till we have the entire NES VC library on Switch Online.

I expect SNES Online to have 10 games @ start with 2 games added per month, the Wii U VC has only ~ 50 SNES games and ~ 100 Super Famicom games.

Re: Feature: The History Of The Civilization Series

I lost count on how many hours - days, months, even - I've "wasted" on Civ I and II. I don't use my computer to play games anymore so I'm so excited to play Civ VI on the NS...

...perhaps after I finish Ganon on BoTW, of course
