Yeah this and Nintendo's online service is dogshit terrible compared to PSN and Xbox Live. The fact that you have to use a phone to chat lmao. It's only saving grace is how cheap it is. If it was a 60 bucks I'd just resign myself to never playing a Nintendo game online again and trade in any online focused games I have.

I still think they should have kept it free. Paying for PSN Xbox gold sucks but Nintendo hasn't earned it at all.

It might be dogshit but it's 20% the price or whatever. If it was the same price as Live I'd understand the rage. Also cloud saves should be free but they're not on Live either (Steam 4 life)

Xbox Live cloud saves are free unless there was a very recent change, I don't know about PSN.

Do not buy a death road to Canada. It's out and i bought it, and not only does the icon not have the name, but it's unplayable in handheld. The game, including the menus, is a slide show. It's pretty crazy it's launching like this when they delayed it. Hopefully there's a patch when the eShop updates.

Edit: apparently it's a known bug and restarting your switch will fix it.

I agree. Though online leader-boards for Dr. Mario and Donkey Kong is pretty cool. Not that I'm good at either of those games.

Newest Famitsu issue reveals Koei Tecmo is developing Warriors Orochi 4 for the PS4 and Switch and scheduled to release in Japan this year and sometime later in the west. The newest installment will feature 170 different playable characters, which sounds tad excessive. No idea if they're continuing with their open world endeavors or learned their lesson to not even bother.

There are currently no plans to bring classic games together under the Virtual Console banner as has been done on other Nintendo systems,” a Nintendo spokesperson told Kotaku in an e-mail late last night.

Soooooo a subscription to an ever expanding library of classic Nintendo games? I could get behind that.

That they mention classic collections in there specifically makes me feel a lot of publishers would rather release their own collections than put stuff under the VC banner.

Does this also include the Wii games that they also brought to Wii U? Are those considered VC? I really want games like Xenoblade 1, Pandora's Tower, and Zangeki no Reginleiv on the eShop!

Those aren't happening without being remastered Ports. The WiiU only got them because it has the guts of a Wii as a co-processor.

From the sounds of things, Nintendo might be following suit in all these SNK, Sega, etc Classic Collections.

I think the only nes game I played/enjoyed was River City Ransom so not really interested. It's cheap though just not much multi stuff on switch I'm playing anyway.

There's a couple snes games I'd be interested in, gamecub emulation would be my poo poo but I suspect any of that stuff will be high priced remasters instead of VC

Technically those Wii downloads were categorized as 'wii downloads on Wii u' and not Wii virtual console, because all vc games came with save states and rebindable buttons as a result of being emulated.

I'm curious how much work it will take to replace wiimote and wiimotion plus functionality with joycons. How hard or easy that is to program for each individual Wii game will likely be a big factor in the number of ports we get.

Can't wait for the Nintendo Classics selection to top out at 30 NES games and become completely forgotten by Nintendo in favor of the SNES Classic 2 and selling Quest 64 in the eShop for $25.

The only benefit to killing zombies is having less zombies trying to eat your face. They don't give experience or drop loot or whatever.

What Nintendo should just do is a series of [Console] Classics, with a set of preloaded games and an internal wifi card. That way they can connect to their own eShop to get more games, and that will fix having to remaster games for every new console's eShop service once and for all.

So they're not bringing back the brand, Virtual Console, but they're going to still be releasing old games.

Hopefully they will add some new systems soon.

It's also not hard to guess the games that'd be on it, given what got released on the WiiU eShop.
