thoughts on the new Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack pricing, pretty sure everyone here agrees with us 

Nintendo: Hey, don't pirate our games!

Their Users: Oh, are you finally gonna release your back-catalog on Virtual Console?

N: Better! We're gonna drip-feed N64 and Genesis ROMs for the foreseeable future!

U: ...Genesis isn't even a Nintendo system. And what about GameCube games?

N: What about GameCube games?

U: ...

N: Interested? It's only $30 extra/year!

U: That's $50/year for a single person! Do we at least get built-in voice chat and improved server infrastructure?

N: Why would you want that?

U: Pirates every game Nintendo owns the rights to out of spite

@The1AndMany also worth noting that everything up to wii is very easy to emulate even on a not-that-great computer (except metroid prime 2, unless they fixed that), and consoles up to n64 and handhelds up to DS are easy to emulate on a crap computer

Well that partially explains it. Have you seen the specs for the switch? 4GB RAM is simply not enough in 2021.

@The1AndMany i'd say it's plenty if you don't have to run a whole multitasking OS

@The1AndMany the switch can run gamecube games fine, the port of mario sunshine is just an emulator

But yeah, that basically means Nintendo has no excuse.
