Chrono Trigger is definitely too big to come to the service. Squeenix would at the very least prefer to sell it individually as a standalone port, if not remake/remaster it. Third party publishers, and even Nintendo, have realized that it's more profitable to remake/release certain older games and have you pay more for them individually instead of dumping them on a subscription service. Look at what SE did with the SaGa series:
And there's also the standalone releases of the Dragon Quest games on NES that are not on the NSO in any region. The things we're going to see coming to NSO are the games that publishers don't see an opportunity to port over as a remaster, remake or put in a compilation in the foreseeable future. |
Do you have any official statement of this, or are you just guessing based on the fact that no Square games have yet come out? If they see the value in getting Square games on their service, then they’ll get them. They got Square games on the classic mini after all, so it’s not out of the question at all that they’ll make future sales agreements with Nintendo.
Either way, for me to want to resubscribe, Nintendo is going to have to get some great premium games. Examples I can think of are Chrono Trigger, Terranigma, Skies of Arcadia, or Monolithsoft games and others on their service by the one year mark.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
