OP, what's with liking DK64? That game was the biggest disappointment on the N64. I mean everyone is entitled to their opinion, but...the game was bad. All it took was that one game for Nintendo to abandon 3D DK games for the next 25 years and counting lol. More power to you if you somehow liked the game though haha, I'm sure it'll be added to Switch Online. Don't mind me though, I just always get surprised when I see people on this site say they actually liked that game, maybe it was more fun for little kids at the time?? The way kids who watched The Phantom Menace grow up loving Jar Jar Binks while everyone else hates him. That's probably the most disappointing game I can think of ever being released by Nintendo, relative to its pre-launch hype level. It was supposed to be the next Mario 64, using the expansion pak to push the limits of the system, and then it was just a dull piece of mediocrity with fancy graphics. Yes my DK64 hate is strong, but well deserved ;)

Anyways, looks like in time there will be lots of N64 and Genesis games on the system and people can eventually stop complaining that it isn't worth the price. Assuming GB and GBA games will get rolled into this subscription eventually (probably in a couple years at the end of Switch's life cycle though), at that point people will be saying how great a deal it is.
I do think Nintendo should have announced this new subscription tier but waited on launching it for a few months until they could fix all the bugs and maybe doubled the games at launch to make it much more clear that it is worth the 150% price increase over the basic subscription. It's one of those things that they underwhelmed at the start and botched the launch so it gets lots of hate but eventually this is going to be the coolest subscription service out there.

1) I loved DK64 as a kid. My friends and I had a blast playing multiplayer together, and I enjoyed the level designs, music, an verticality of progression as you gained abilities. I can still hear some of the songs in my head decades since I last played (not the intro silly song, the other ones in the game are far better than the rap lol).

2) Jar Jar Binks is, and always will be, one of the most amazing characters. Not because of who he seemingly is, but because of his true nature. He is the true Sith Lord, pulling the strings of Sidious.
