SPP2 and Demon's Crest are nice surprises. It's pretty lacking overall though.

It's not. You download the app and can play the games any time, but you need an online subscription to run the app and to do multiplayer online. Nothing is streamed.

>>5862715
It might take a little work to adapt each game to the app's functions and to online multiplayer, which didn't exist for the original games.

Imagine selling an $80 gimped Nvidia Shield for $200 then having the balls to charge for an online service to play games with other people.
I can't reqally blame them though, the PS4 and Xbone are just extremely gimped desktop PCs with shitty online shit.
Modern gaming is so shit now. It's finally come full circle. A business born from casinos and gambling finally returning to addictive/predatory practices, selling polished turds as something other than turds, just like every gambling establishment on earth.
Jews and Yakuza are having a field day.

Of course, s3elling shit like Back to the Future or Ghostbusters for $40+(1980s money) is just as predatory. Remember when Nintendo Power didn't directly tell you those games were trashy shit cash-ins? Imagine going to buy a McLaren and finding out the body is made of steel instead of carbon fiber.

I'm paying less than that because I bought a year subscription for $20 at the start, then Amazon Prime gave me another year for free, then I got another year for $10 when I bought SMM2. So far I've paid $30 for 3 years of service, or about 83 cents per month. Not a bad deal in my book.

Really? I find the interface to be fine, and the limitations on savestates and such actually make me more likely to actually play through an entire game legitimately. On a PC emulator I'm tempted to savescum or just mill around from game to game and never really finish anything. On something like, say, the SNES Classic, where I have to stand up and press a button to change games or savestate I'm just more likely to not do it and I end up enjoying the games a lot more. I feel similarly about the Switch Online emulation, where those little limitations add up to me investing myself into the play experience that much more and it makes the experience more enjoyable overall. Sometimes limiting options is actually helpful for finicky, choice-paralysis-prone human brains.

I find the interface to select and arrange games great. What I'm talking about is the god-awful border and legend that is impossible to disable, the inability to change your controls. Why this thing has less options than the NES classic is beyond me. I get that it's a "bonus" for the online subscription, but it's not an excuse for it to suck.

And that's not to mention the controls; Unless you have a miracle wired switch controller that no one has with a good dpad, any action games feels like shit.

Even your argument about choice paralysis doesn't make any sense since they make it extremely easy to switch from one game to another. Also savescumming just ruins the fun of any game, and I don't know what to tell you if that alone isn't a good reason enough to stop yourself from doing it.

I feel like it would be so much better if Nintendo added rom hacks or new games with more features, something to entice all gamers.
I mean like a bunch of players on Super Mario Kart, I've seen like a hundred players on that with emulation! maybe include a bunch of newer characters in retro form, the new olympic games is going to include a retro mode, that's cool!
What about a third quest for Zelda 1 and a second quest for Zelda 3? a new Metroid with the same spritework as Super Metroid? These roms, playable online is cool and all, but it's just cool and doesn't have a wow factor.
Opinions like >>5864815 make sense when you consider the whole of gaming in the present. The online doesn't have what the competitors have, and everything on PC is so much better. Maybe I'm just never going to be drawn back into console gaming is all there is to it.

They aren't terrible, but they aren't perfect either. Ogre Battle was the only one I played, and they change the attack "Jihad" to something stupid, and its been so long I forget what it was. Pic related. However, I can't care less as I have a N64 and every game I want, including Ogre Battle.
