Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has talked a little about the handy Nintendo Classics range which is readily available for anyone subscribed to the Nintendo Switch Online service. He firmly believes that the classic games from the past provide gamers with a “sense of nostalgia” while allowing them to become familiar with games which Nintendo has produced in the past. Furukawa said that they will be continuing the service and exploring various “possibilities” with regards to other formats such as Nintendo DS and Wii etc.
“We believe that being able to play these games provides a sense of nostalgia for consumers who played them in the past, while also giving new consumers an opportunity to become familiar with Nintendo’s game series and characters. Taking technical challenges and other factors into account, we would like to continue exploring a variety of possibilities going forward.”
It would be cool if we got satellaview and 64DD games, maybe even pokemon mini games.
NSO would be perfect for bringing back the satellaview games
The service is kind of a slog. It feels like we won’t have a lot of games before we even get the other consoles. On the positive side, I’m glad they’re considering DS and Wii, although I’m curious on how they’re going to approach DS since the stylus was the main tool for that system.
The service feels like your going down into memory lane and maybe they might do something by adding the 3DS selection one day after they add the DS and Wii.
This has hands down been the single greatest retro catalog they’ve ever done. When it started out as just NES, then SNES like 2 years later it was rough. But it’s found its footing and with Gamecune and GBA being added + the ability to play other region titles with a single subscription (free JP games lol) I think it has surpassed VC’s offerings on Wii/3DS/Wii U. The only thing that sorta has over it is Nintendo DS with how the Wii U hardware worked. Maybe some day we’ll see DS and maybe even 3DS (way further ahead, however)
I think Nintendo Wii will either come at Switch 3’s launch or towards the end of Switch 2’s time on the market
If they ever add the option to individually purchase games outside of the subscription to own, this will be the undisputed #1 of any service and the best act of preservation in the modern era by any of the big console manufacturers. Also they gotta start a regular schedule for these game releases lol
This might sound cheesy but the game and watch series of games that started it all before the NES and famicom, I like to see besides the old school light gun games from the NES
If its games to be brought back I say go back to were it first started with the game and watch games they should bring back besides the NES light gun games
I always play Ninja Gaiden.❤️
Explore a more regular release schedule
Let us purchase individual games again. Wii was still your best service. Next to Wii U
Cool story Nintendo then how about LETTING US PURCHASES THOSE GAMES
Well Nintendo’s happy screwing over gamers by milking them.. that’s why they won’t let you purchase them.
They could literally sell carts with like a collection of 10-20 games or more per cart for cheap but they’re not gonna do that when they can get you to pay a monthly/yearly fee to rent them.
Nintendo is like Apple.. people buy no matter what lol
