To be fair to Nintendo, they're probably not scraping the bottom of the barrel for games they can license intentionally, it's just that most third party devs that think they can make money off of their back catalog aren't going to just hand that over to Nintendo nowadays, now that the wave of retro nostalgia is hitting they want to do their own rereleases or remasters and make the money themselves.

If there's any Gen X Japanese developer you love that probably got started on video games playing xevious. Xevious along with Tower of Druags was one of THE killer apps that made Famicom a hit.

Great idea, I’m going to start doing this. FoW maps with limited forces suck!! Related, what does casual difficulty actually do?

There's enough stone cold classics on the NES they could be pumping out a Xevious-caliber release every week if they cared to. Meanwhile, when they realise it's been four months since the last update, they put out black box Pinball.

They’re in a weird spot with their Nintendo Switch Online classic game consoles. Nintendo have put out pretty much all their well known first party classics across all the systems and have even gone the extra mile to get the N64 Rare titles up. Meanwhile, the best of the best third party retro games are mostly already available to purchase in various collections on the Switch and other consoles/PC. Which explains the drip feed of weirdo games popping up on NSO. I really don’t see a solution that makes everyone happy. Frankly, I’d rather Nintendo let you outright purchase the games like on ye olde Virtual Console rather than another loving subscription service.

The solution is more wonderful Game Boy games which they released last month in that same dump with Xevious and Side Pocket. I thank Nintendo for these games and their continuing commitment to excellence.

My sister and I having been playing Side Pocket online on weekends for over a month now. It's a great way to chill out while we chat about family and whatnot on discord. We don't keep score.

I can think of two notable exceptions to the above that I have been dying for them to put on the NSO: Banjo Tooie and mother loving Diddy Kong Racing! Give them both to me! There are probably others. Jet Force Gemini? Oh and it's not Rare but how about Mischief Makers?

I wish NSO had achievements. I’m not into the whole dick-measuring thing about who has the most points, I just enjoy having these little side accomplishments I can complete and have on my profile. It’d be awesome if those were added to old NES games and poo poo.

They could also have an easy slam dunk if they somehow put Gen 1 and Gen 2 Pokemon games on NSO, preferably with Pokemon Home support. They're not above using Lua hackery to fix certain games (hell, that time-limited Famicom Fire Emblem rerelease they did translated the entire game on the fly) so it's something they absolutely could do but won't, because what's the point, right

The point is that why add them for free to a subscription premise when they can make you buy them again separately? And if not going for that, it's also a good card to keep for when subs start to run out again, like adding GB and GBA

Like... come on? Playing Stadium with only rentals is the polar opposite of a good time! It's especially infuriating because they did put the Gameboy Pokemon games as a download... on the 3DS, but with no way for those games to interact with Stadium. Now we have Stadium but no GBA games to connect it to and I hate it!

That being said, I wish they'd say "yo gently caress the remake, we're putting the original Dragon Quest game on NSO" because holy poo poo, those remakes are eye-wateringly bad.

One of my first gaming memories was renting Burger Time in the 80's when I was probably about five. I couldn't understand why the pepper only temporarily knocks out baddies and I was so mad. Well, see you later.

yeah i should clarify what i mean is they're definitely going to release RBY for hype later, idk if they'd put in Home support. clearly "reading save data from a GBA ROM" is not an unsurmountable task but given that they release actual pokemon games without Home support at launch I don't think that's what they're waiting on

For whatever reason, Nintendo seems very reluctant to touch their old titles like this (remakes like Link's Awakening non-withstanding) and their ethos seems to be, if it was good enough in 1991, it's good enough today. Was disappointed they didn't do anything interesting with the SM64 anniversary release for example.

AlphaDream went bankrupt so unfortunately not likely and Nintendo's insistence on keeping everything related to the Mario IP strictly controlled would probably just make them not have the charm they used to The ones people liked are the first three
