I find it weird how the Wii u had more retro games in it's catolog than the switch, despite the switch being one of Nintendo's best selling console.

I know you had to buy those games, but still. More games were available on that console.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

I mean, I don’t pay NSO for this. But still.

Atta boy, tremendous control playing in cool when Nintendo has the gall to announce that fucking shit.

[Umbasaborne]

I’m really…disappointed…irritated…not surprised. Nintendo has an amazing back catalog and this is what they give their fans…

Nintendo is a fucking joke. Ive never seen a more tone deaf corporation in my entire life. Seriously, they rarely update this service, and when they do, its not with games like chrono trigger, earthbound, or super mario rpg, its with shit like spanky’s and joe & mac. They have to be aware of the dissapointment right? They were on the right track with the dkc trilogy, id foolishly hoped that quality would continue.

 

[fart town usa]

Spanky’s Quest?! Legit megaton. I’m so hyped. First thing I’ve played in a while. Pure sleeper.

My buddy and I rented that as kids and really enjoyed it. Played it years later through emulation and did not see the appeal. Totally up for trying it again though. Don't remember much other than you play as a monkey and there's a witch involved.

This is why PlayStation is still my preferred platform.
Sony certainly aren't infallible and have aptly demonstrated this many times.
But at least they appear to occasionally listen to the consumers wants and needs, whereas Nintendo are seemingly content to continue making these ludicrous decisions at odds with fans expectations.
At least in my personal experiences.

 

[Sp3eD]

Pretty terrible update, but I remember seeing a list a few months ago and as far as Nintendo goes, what exactly do they have left to release? Earthbound is the SNES notable miss, but I can’t really think of others that Nintendo can bring that they own.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Sometimes I swear that Nintendo is just trolling its fan base with the old games collection updates.

I think you're giving them too much credit by even thinking that. They just dont give a shit.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

I'm probably gonna get wrecked for saying this, but:

Joe and Mac ain't that bad. It's a pretty fun and charming -- if flawed in places -- action platformer. I own the SNES cart and play it from time to time, and always enjoy it.

This link has a good list with reasons why a lot more games aren’t able to be put on NSO.

Lots of bullshit excuses there since a lot of those were released on the Virtual Console.

The main appeal is the mash-up of platformer + Arkanoid. The core mechanics involve bouncing a ball on your head that progressively gets bigger (and more damaging to enemies), which is your only attack, while simultaneously platforming through levels. It's a great combo as the difficult ramps up.

Here’s the thing publishers are putting out classic games on their own on the Switch. You kind of wonder if Nintendo can’t get them to agree to join the service. I’ve bought a ton of arcade archives, SEGA Ages, Capcom, Konami, SNK, and shmup games on Switch either through individual eshop titles or collections.

Perhaps but license renewal isn't a sure thing. Even Nintendo's closest allies like HAL or Intelligent Systems are legally distinct and separate companies.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Thank god for upscalers. This shit is a joke.
I like how they announce it weeks out like people are anticipating this selection or something.

 

[theclaw135]

Heck this is an IMPROVEMENT.
The final year winding down 3DS VC was three versions of the same basic game: Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. That's it.
