great starting lineup!

 

[SALMORE]

Finally ! Awesome Starting list

 

[16bitwarzvet]

Awesome!!! I have been waiting for this!!!

 

[jshackles]

Glad to see Breath of Fire there but the SNES had so many great RPGs it's a shame they couldn't add a few more to the starting lineup. Notably Mario RPG or any Final Fantasy games.

 

[socksfelloff]

Kudos to Nintendo for not gouging on the SNES controllers. I have 2 8bitdo snes controllers but if these have less input delay I may bite!

 

[mcjmetroid]

The only thing the lineup is kinda missing is a decent multiplayer game, like contra or whatever.

 

[Birdo]

Remember how awesome the Virtual Console was?.......

 

[jshackles]

Remember how awesome the Virtual Console was?.......

Remember how it kinda sucked though? It would have taken Nintendo about 2 years to release this many games on Virtual Console on the Wii / Wii U / 3DS.

And each individual game was $8. Now you get 20 games + (all the NES games) for $20 a year.

 

[EightBit Man]

Why not creating compilations, Nintendo, instead of having to rent these games?

 

[jts]

I need them controllers. Hope it doesn’t take long for them to be up for ordering, already a bit miffed that aren’t there for the launch of SNES games.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Do you have to be online to play these? Or can you play offline?

 

[Chittagong]

Fffuuuuuu

Friendship with wallet ended

Nintendo is my new best friend

 

[ULTROS!]

Double post

 

[Chittagong]

Guys we will be seeing Terranigma again

I just feel it

 

[ULTROS!]

I hope they add Secret of Evermore and Illusion of Gaia down the line.

Buying > Renting.

 

[checkcola]

There's some interesting NES games, but on the other hand, some are soooo dated, whereas, the SNES stuff holds up much better. I am excited.

 

[RPS37]

I’m so excited for this, because I was a genesis kid. We got a snes late in the cycle and only play like Mario rpg and super game boy, so I’ll be playing LTTP and SMW for the first time.

 

[Gavin Stevens]

On so one thing I don’t understand is that they pick the games so they can have some sort of online thing. But games like Metroid and Zelda... how’s that work then?

 

[Zog]

I hope they add Secret of Evermore and Illusion of Gaia down the line.

Ok, you don't have to tell us twice.

 

[jshackles]

Buying > Renting.

So you'd rather pay $160 for these 20 games than $20 a year?

I mean, I agree that the ability to buy them is better than renting them, I'm just saying the Virtual Console was super overpriced and also if you have an exploitable Switch you can play all these games already anyway (so it's not exactly about preservation).

 

[TheUsual]

Damn I want that SNES controller.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Mario rpg please

 

[TLZ]

Fiiiiiinallyyyyyyyyyyyy.

 

[Chittagong]

How can Nintendo‘s e-commerce team be so incompetent that once this controller is announced you can’t order it? They even have the price on their site, so literally no reason not to allow preorders

 

[Birdo]

So you'd rather pay $160 for these 20 games than $20 a year?

I'd never buy all those games.

There are about six or so that I like. So it wouldn't cost me much to purchase them.

 

[Spukc]

Fffuuuuuu

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

 

[Ulysses 31]

Mario rpg please

Something wrong with the Wii/WiiU VC version?

 

[NickFire]

WTF is with Nintendo and their fifty million controllers? By the end of this generation we're gonna have more switch controllers than games.

 

[Mozza]

Remember how awesome the Virtual Console was?.......

I remember people complaining on here about the prices, and the fact you had to pay another fee when you downloaded them again on the Wii U.

 

[Thabass]

Fffuuuuuu

I need it. Right. Fucking. Now.

 

[dolabla]

I gotta have that controller to use with my 8bitdo SNES receiver on my real SNES/Super NT.

 

[Mozza]

Even if you just bought a handful each of NES and SNES titles it would cost more than the $19.99 subscription.

 

[Mozza]

You never really owned those Virtual Console games though, Nintendo's account system has always been in the dark ages.

 

[Birdo]

Even if you just bought a handful each of NES and SNES titles it would cost more than the $19.99 subscription.

£19.99 for the entire gen.

To play them with subscription for five years: $99.99

Bargain

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Tired of paying for your games a million times over with Nintendo not letting you just buy it once to play on all your waahoo systems?
You own these games?
Use retrode to rip em legally
Mod your 3DS/Switch and play them all there!

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Nintendo Switch... one of the best consoles of Nintendo Definitely

.

 

[darkangel-212559]

MY BODY IS READY FOR ZELDA.

MY BODY IS EVEN MORE READY FOR STARFOX.

YES NEEDS CAPS HYPEEEEEEEE

 

[darkangel-212559]

Oh and Super Metroid ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[#Phonepunk#]

would RUUUULE if SNES drops at midnight? likely not tho.

i would guess around 2 EDT tomorrow, but keep in mind, that's a guess.

 

[GAMETA]

Some of the greatest games of all time right from the get go. Is this Christmas already?

 

[Ulysses 31]

I wonder if we'll get reports of a surge in Nintendo Online memberships in the coming weeks.

 

[Vawn]

I think Nintendo is just hoping to keep those whose 1-year membership is just getting ready to run out. The timing of this is not by accident.

 

[Spukc]

yeah they where smart about that cause i would never ever ever have resubbed if not for snes

 

[sol_bad]

Why are people praising this? Please don't praise this.
Nintendo had a great thing going with the Wii and Wii U where you could actually purchase the games to own.
Paying a monthly fee to access these games is not praise worthy. They are doing this just to add "value" to their service.
Gross.

that is about the only damn reason i would sub lol
why not support it?

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Now it's worth it.

 

[sol_bad]

To me, having to subscribe to a service to play a game is as bad as a streaming service. Once that service is gone, your games are gone.
Throughout the life span of the Switch you'll pay hundreds of dollars. Then when they shut the service down there go your games.

With Nintendo, their service is worse than Sony/Microsoft because their console started off with online play out of the bag with no fee, then charged for it later. And mother fuckers ate it up like a fat kid in a candy store.

You don't want them to add "value" to their service?

I prefer to judge things as they are and not how they should've been my fantasy world, it's a considerable improvement and so I'll reward them by lengthening my membership.
