I think I’ll enjoyrevisiting NES gameslikeDonkey Kong,Tetris, andSuper Mario Bros. 3for a week or two at which point my subscription will simply devolve into online multiplayer support and cloud saves.
The price is cheap enough that I’ll pay it and not grumble, but I do hope Nintendo finds other ways to make Nintendo Switch Online more enticing over the coming months and years. It’s clear that back-catalog games won’t appear on Switch under a Wii- or Wii U-style Virtual Console release schedule. I’ve accepted that. I just hope Nintendo doesn’t take much longer to expand its scope beyond NES.
