I know Switch 2 is gonna let you use the default Switch Online games. But do you think it will get new games not available on Switch 1. Like Gamecube or so on. I also wonder if the Switch Online games will stop being released on Switch 1 online.

There will be a huge crossgen period just because of the sheer amount of switches out there. FIFA 14 came out on ps2 weeks before the ps4 launch.

I think it's rather likely that GC emulation will come to the Switch Online service exclusively for Switch 2. There's been too many rumblings about it in the recent year.

 

[Dacvak]

You mean the NSO games? I imagine they won’t change much at all. I bet we’ll see GameCube and maybe even DS. The service will otherwise stay exactly the same: slow drip of games over time.

I dunno, the Gamecube starts getting into milked remaster territory. Everyone would jump sideways to buy a Wind Waker or Twilight Princess on the Switch for $60, no way Nintendo is going to just re-release those games on their NSO service, even the higher tier.

We've already had quite a few successful remasters from that era: Metroid Prime, Baten Kaitos, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Pikmin, Paper Mario...

Nothing will change.

That's why I don't think GameCube VC is happening. Nintendo's kept their release pipeline full with ports between new releases and while they've remade games older than the Cube, the difference in those instances is much greater than the potential differences of something like a Wind Waker port versus Wind Waker VC.

I think it will get gamecube, that will be the cutoff for classic games

I’m still waiting for Mario rpg snes though

no one knows. Nintendo might not even know yet.

They can still do that. Super Mario 3D All Stars didn't stop Nintendo from putting Super Mario 64 on NSO.

 

[Baemono]

I just hope the old Pokémon games will be on it at some point

 

[Chuck Berry]

I don't know, because it isn't out yet

They will probably attempt to raise its price. They may stop offering the cheaper version and make the expanded one the default. Or they may add more features/consoles to justify the price hike.

I just want to be able to play my games online without paying.
