Nintendo Reminds Us That Yes, Switch Will Eventually Stop Getting NES Games

The monthly additions of NES games arriving on Switch have become routine at this point - indeed, three more are on the way in April right on schedule - and despite mixed feelings from the service's subscribers, that routine looks like it's here to stay for now.
All things - good or mediocre - must come to an end eventually, though, and new marketing materials for the online service have been spotted which include this very fact in the small print. Nintendo Switch Online is now launching in Hong Kong, and these flyers note that the NES software additions can't go on forever.

no, eventually you would think they would move on to SNES games, etc.

And this is why we'll never get a n64 mini classic

PlayStation users: we are so sick of only getting 2 ps4 games a month on plus.
Switch users: Please don't take away our free 30mb 30 yr old games? 😆

Old McGroin2632d ago

Are you serious? Every Switch owner I know and have seen online hate the slow drip feed of 30 year old NES games, nobody wants them. What planet are you on?

Planet Sarcasm my friend. 🙄

@ lazyboyblue

Ah, my apologies 🙈

It's all good. Unlike the Switch free games.

I'd like them to start putting more than 4 new things on the service every month. The whole "Special Edition" thing I thought was cool at first. A new twist on a classic game. But it doesn't amount to much more than using a Game Genie, and they take the spots of other potential games for the month. The trickle feed thing worked for the original Virtual Console, but now that this is a subscription service, I feel like they should start bringing out more games at a higher rate.

Hard to do when the games have online added to them when they did not in the past they have to check to make sure it works playing with a friend

MasterChief36242631d ago

I suggest drinking a little less of their Kool-Aid.

akaFullMetal2632d ago

Needs more than nes games and really for their service that is just the beginning. Needs party system and messaging at this point.

Well there is Tetris 99 and it's brilliant. It at least suggests that a wide variety of content is on its way to the service.

MasterChief36242631d ago

I've put 60 hours and won 24 times in Tetris 99, but even I'm a little confounded by how it is a sign of a wide variety of content coming to the service.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle51d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
