But on the other hand it is rather stupid that Nintendo's retro titles are exclusive to a subscription service with no way to purchase something permanently. So in that sense this is preferable.
There is segment of the Switch userbase that wants a Virtual Console store to buy the classic titles. An ideal situation would be to make all the games available in both. Sign up for Nintendo Online and you get free access to these games but if you want to buy any individual title you can.

General Gaming / Re: I for one welcome the glorious return of overconfident E3 2006 Sony.
« Last post by Luigi Dude on February 19, 2026, 05:04:03 PM »I guess Sony feels since Microsoft is a non-factor in hardware sales, they don't need to rely on exclusive titles to sell Playstation anymore. So any studio that isn't putting out massive hits is getting the axe since they're no longer considered necessary anymore.
Of course this is a rather short sighted strategy when PC gaming has been on the rise in recent years, especially with Sony themselves even porting many of their games to PC. I mean the PS5 has recently started to fall behind the PS4's sales at this point in its life, and with Xbox sales literally hitting Wii U levels, the data is pointing very heavily to Microsofts former audience jumping more to PC then to Playstation.
Plus even Nintendo has been gaining more major third party support where we're seeing more day one releases on Switch 2 along side the Playstation version. With the rumors of Sony trying to get a hybrid of their own, that's going to be a harder sell if the Switch 2 has many of the same third party titles combined with Nintendo's exclusives.

And game companies wonder why their audience is increasingly hostile or apathetic about the overpriced slop they put out now.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Will you be willing to buy Virtual Game Cards, or would go all digital instead?
« Last post by Mop it up on February 19, 2026, 01:32:47 PM »Since I have an Xbox, then I don't plan to buy third-party games on the Switch 2, which means I likely won't have to get any of those keycard dealies. The only way I would consider it is if there's somehow a third-party Switch exclusive that I really wanted.

« Last post by Mop it up on February 19, 2026, 01:22:14 PM »Oh yeah, I s'pose I forgot to post about the circumstances for how I scooped up a Switch 2 over the holidays. It was $50 off for Cyber Monday, and there was 10% off Target gift cards, and I had a cash back offer from my credit card. Now that's how to stack deals. So now I can be part of the club again!

Nintendo Gaming / Re: What will Nintendo release in 2026?
« Last post by Mop it up on February 19, 2026, 01:10:51 PM »Personally, I really liked the gameplay in Mario Tennies Aces, it was just a little lacking in modes and features. Fever appears to address that somewhat, although it looks like it has less online features than Aces does. In particular, you can't play 2-player doubles over matchmaking like you could in Aces, only in custom lobbies, which look pretty barren from what I saw. I may still pick up the game at some point in the future for a discount, but hopefully they have some updates planned for the game and will add 2-player doubles to matchmaking.
