Nintendo Is Stupid For Ignoring Virtual Console on Switch

[Darashiva]

Honestly, right now Nintendo could and should set up its own online retro marketplace with literally hundreds of games across several different consoles and they wouldn't even have to get any third parties involved yet. Just putting Nintendo's own NES, SNES and N64 games alone would constitute a massive number of excellent games to choose from, and if they'd add Gamecube and Wii games in there as well it would be one of the best online marketplaces on consoles just based on the strength of Nintendo's own titles.

I doubt third parties would mind putting a lot of their older titles on the markeplace either, which would make it even better as a result. I've never understood Nintendo's weird policy of slowly drip feeding titles to their online marketplaces, and then with each new console they start the process all over again. Switch should already have every single Nintendo game available that they've previously released on the Wii, 3DS and Wii U Virtual Consoles. Or if not instantly, then at least they should be releasing those titles on the system all the time, several titles every single week. That might actually make the Nintendo Switch Online service somewhat interesting.
