No, it makes no sense for anyone involved.

Nintendo-these retro games will not add enough value to justify the cost of paying for their exclusivity, people who aren’t currently Switch owners/NSO subscribers aren’t going to become so just for these games.

3rd parties-the amount Nintendo pays them would not only have to match but greatly exceed the amount these companies currently make from having them on PC, PS, XB, iOS, Android & Nintendo.

Gamers-this is a very anti-consumer idea and making 3rd party titles that are 20-40 years old exclusive to a single platform and subscription service is just going to make less people have access to these classics.

Well anti-consumer is MS buying up half the industry, but here we are. This is the time for action and thinking ahead. Nintendo could become THE place for retro games. I think Capcom, Konami, Sega and SE would make more money with this than on all other systems combined. They would all help each other out. 

There are SO many games that are just not available on modern systems from these companies.

Sure it would suck for PS and XB owners, but they could still get the bigger games like Mega Man, Castlevania, Final Fantasy and Sonic, but Nintendo would get their entire backlog. I think it would be huge for all 5 of them.
