I prefer 'buying' as well, except they rarely carry over from system to system.  I already bought those games on the Wii U.  I'm getting tired of rebuying them.  

Can't say I ever understood why people care so much about saved data.  If I replay Ocarina I'm not loading final game, I will be creating a new file.  And there is no evidence that games from the current subscription won't carry over.  

These issues were actually completely fixed by the time F-Zero X was released back in March. All fog and artifact issues in games like Mario Kart 64 and especially Ocarina of Time being the biggest culprit. There was a bug with the Kirby 64 release, but was quickly fixed. I don't hear of any complaints honestly with the service. Maybe online play still being P2P and the fact these games are exclusively tied to a subscription service lol

Here's a breakdown of the service being fixed

Yeah I was about to say that Nintendo has FINALLY tied everything to Nintendo Accounts, so there is evidence that everything from our Switch will carry over. 

I agree 100%.  No doubt it will start carrying over now that Nintendo has a real account system.  

And it does what exactly?  You load your game and stare at the game file?  Unless a game has New Game+ I don't see the point in old save files.  But each too their own.

I'm hoping Nintendo has a full-blown ecosystem that will be portable across generations. I have a huge Switch library and would like to see continuity on Switch 2/Pro/Whatever.

The technical issues with the N64 NSO games have all been fixed a long time ago.
How many people are there who won't subscribe simply because they think that half the games are broken or riddled with bugs or something despite it mostly having been Ocarina of Time alone?

And, bear in mind Nintendo is my favorite developer, there is no excuse not to have an ecosystem.  When I got my ps5 I unplugged my external drive from my ps4...  plugged it into my ps5..  done.  

Far from the same games
