Does Nintendo owe Switch owners Virtual Console?

The Nintendo Switch has been out for nearly eight months and still lacks the Virtual Console offerings available on the Wii U, Wii, and 3D3.

Of course they do, especially after announcing that Wii's Virtual Console will come to an end in 2019

I don’t see the relevance, honestly. I mean, Nintendo should put up a Virtual Console for the Switch, but I don’t see how cancelling the Wii’s service has, or should have, anything to do with that.

It baffles me that there still isn't one. I mean, there's a DS Virtual Console for Wii U, but there still isn't one for Switch, which as the DS can be taken with you everywhere.

Unless they can sort out the crap VC implementation as it is and link the games to an account rather a device they can forget about it.

GameCube VC first. We've wanted GameCube VC since Wii U was announced.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing4d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster924d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg7d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing696d ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
