Do you expect Sega Saturn games to come to NS Online are licenses the problem and self publishing?

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.

Of course I don't have an official statement, otherwise I'd provide it. But it's clear that I'm not "just guessing" either. It's not just Square either. What major Konami games have come out on NSO? You won't find a single Castlevania outside of Bloodlines from the upcoming Genesis expansion. Why? Because Konami would rather you buy the collections. Same thing with Capcom's Mega Man and Street Fighter 2. It threw us a bone with Ghost 'n Goblins even though GnG Resurrection is a thing, but I wouldn't call that a "major" IP.

To say that I'm just guessing is to say that someone is just guessing the sky is blue after taking a good, long look at it.

Listen, I appreciate your perspective, but I don’t find it persuasive. 

All you’ve argued is “They’re not there yet on this brand new service, and some other games by them are already out on the EShop.” Even if true, neither point is solid evidence that Square games can’t come out on the NSO service in the future. 

You didn’t respond to either counter-point I made:
1. if Nintendo works out a deal for the games, they will come.
2. They already worked out a deal with Square for games on the classic mini.

You just repeated your argument, added even flimsier and less relevant supporting examples in the form “here are some other companies that released games on the EShop.” And instead of accepting fault of having no statements from Square themselves, you just didn’t care instead adding: “it’s like guessing the sky is blue after looking at it,” a statement which holds precisely zero relevance to what we’re talking about, but says a lot about your conviction.

To point out why I don’t accept your evidence: Sega didn’t have Mega Drive games on the NSO prior to the announcement of NSO+. Sega also had many of those games on the EShop already. Yet, here they are on the NSO+ service!

The “sky is blue” and refusal to even acknowledge counter-points part of the argument only establishes that you’re dogmatic about your convictions, and have no interest in coming to a rational conclusion. I’ll also point out, that if I did look out the window for a long time, I wouldn’t say “I see a blue sky.” From my perspective, it’s been night for hours.
