  My steam deck has better Gamecube support than the official Nintendo next gen console, let that sink in…

    Were you expecting to have every game available from day 1? I’m sure they could, but they are a business and they probably want to make money.

      excusing drip feeding because a multi-billion company need that sweet subscription money? For shame.

        I have no clue what happened in the world and what made people become this religious about corporations.

        Nothing excusable about it, you just shouldn’t be surprised that big greedy corp wants to maximise profits, and that an open system can run more games than a locked down console

    Yeah mine does too. That doesn’t mean we can’t be glad to see some actual official support on these games for the first time in 20 years. Emulation is great, but so are steps in the right direction.

      We’re just looking at it thusly: If a community can make ad hoc janky tools to emulate a console, why can’t the platform holder do it? The answer as usual is money. Nintendo could release a wealth of gamecube games with minimal effort, especially with their 1st party library that can eschew music licensing and so on. But no, 3 games, we don’t want the scrubs to play windwaker instead of purchasing the V3 of BoTW… So, pardon me if I don’t consider this something to be excited for when it ostensibly is being purposefully trickled down.

      If they would add an easy back compat on release to the full library of GC cames I’d buy the S2 day one. As is, I’ll keep emulating on the deck and sailing the high seas.

      I’m just glad we’re getting a new first party GameCube controller.

  3 games is not a little weak. Its a fucking joke, but it’s Nintendo.

    Well that’s pretty much how NSO started. It sucked at first with a tiny lineup of NES titles. Now there are tons of games and they’re still adding. I think it makes sense that they would hype up people with additional games added over time. I’m fine with that if I’m still paying $20/ year for NSO. I get enough value out of that as is, and more games at the same price is added value. But I absolutely agree that they should have started with more than 3 games.

    Admittedly though, when I first commented on this, I hadn’t seen the new prices on Switch 2 yet. Now, I’m just as pissed as anyone else. I won’t be buying the system at all unless they drop their prices. And if they don’t, then I guess I will just stick to playing elsewhere.
