@KuruzuIshikawa Microsoft already has worked with Nintendo for Banjo and Steve so it's definitely possible. I just don't think Nintendo cares about Halo. Crash probably won't get in due to how notoriously difficult Activision is to work with.

@Solestro The legit problem is that they actually never pirate the Brawl discs, no piracy is involved at all with Project+ Added, also applies to Melee, they don't produce Brawl discs anymore Nintendo's really just a *****

@OnTheDownLoTho If we did get GBA though you know damn well nintendo would put something like shrek 2 on the service in America then put Mother 3 on the service in Japan

@AndyLunique I don't play a lot of long, multiplayer, or service games, so it's almost certainly Nintendo.

@BRAIX3N The problem here isn’t the lack of availability, it’s that Nintendo is being ******* ridiculous by shutting down tourneys that people worked so hard to set up

@Garcian_Smith i totally would understand if the pandemic ****** up whatever rollout plans they had for online. On the other hand online probably brings in so much revenue Nintendo probably believe they don't need to do much with the service. I can believe either

Hard to get excited for Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles on Nintendo Switch Online thanks to Nintendo's awful handling of it. Long overdue. I'll be more thrilled when there is an actual legit effort of getting their entire back catalog on the service but I don't expect it.

@osifracrat @stopskeletons Why would Square put them on Nintendo subscription service rather than release them standalone, or as part of a collection, on eShop? (See: Secret of Mana and SaGa Collection)

@smashbrolink @Broken_Myke @NintendoUK Evolution in reality take thousands of years. And being picky doesn't actually benefit them in anyways because they can spread so easily and so rapidly. Power in numbers is what made them so dangerous in the first place. They can have both no problem

@HughKC2 @docsquiddy my tinfoil hat take on all this is they recognized the demand for a Virtual Console service that’s platform independent, but someone was concerned that people would stop spending money once they have their favorite games, hence the subscription model and Nintendo Online rebrand

nintendo switch online is so bizarre to me because like its not really that good of a service with what you get but its only 20 bucks annually so like you might as well if you want something from it

I'm not saying getting the service up and running is an easy task, but Nintendo have been pretty bad at communicating what the future holds for these apps, and the drip feed releases of fairly mediocre games recently certainly hasn't helped.

@scully1888 My ROMs folder on my laptop is a better retro service than Nintendo Online. And I’m pretty sure it has more active users, too.

@AndreSegers I guess it is unprecedented that Nintendo do something with this service that actually pleases a majority of their fans.

(@LionelleChunk) reported
People have been asking for Nintendo to just let us buy the games from the virtual console for switch but let’s be real here I don’t want to pay for these games again if I already purchased them like three times. I’m okay with a service that has AOT of games for one price.

Imagine being Nintendo and not putting a majority of your old games on your online service, but having the audacity to shut down rom sites who are providing the only way to access those games

@AndreSegers The only way I can imagine they adding GBA games "soon" would be with a reformulation of the service (maybe separating it from the 'Online' itself and charging different prices). I agree that Nintendo probably would prefer to spread the release, as they did with NES and SNES
