  There are other perks, but most of them feel like problems they’re creating and then selling you the solution to rather than genuine value.

  Ok. Let’s not misrepresent what i said.

  Firstly, you dont round up 4.17 to 5.

  Second. I said i am in the UK, so i dont bay any dollars a month.

  Third, I pay for 1 quarter of £5 a month, which is the monthly cost of a family account. Which i said i have. So it’s actually £1.25 ($1.64) a month.

  Forth, The games that come with the expansio are not 40 years old.the expansion gives you the n64, gameboy advance and genesis games, which are 28, 23 and 35 years old respectively.

  Fifth, as well that i get 48 mario kart maps, as well ss some other games. On top of the online play which you get in the standard pack, and some other bits.

  Sixth, i have played and completed mario 64 and bajo kazooie on the n64 emulator. I have introduced my son to mario kart 64 as well. I also am slowly working my way through jet force gemini. I have complete goldeneye played multiplayer with my brothers here and there and am working through perfect dark. On the GBA emulator i am playing golden sun. 10 hours is a severe underestimate for all that and more.

  Finally. If you are salty about BOTW, then thats your problem. But dont go around lying about what i said to make yourself feel better.

    Good lord, you’re actually gonna come down and try to defend your actions like some kind of corporate propagandist. Fucking sad really how you’ve got it all twisted. SOMEONE IS PAYING FOR THE SERVICE! I don’t care how many people are listed and aren’t using it, YOU’RE STILL PAYING FOR A YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION FOR A FUCKING ONLINE EMULATOR. Where the fuck was a lie made? Care to misrepresent some more shit?

    It’s 4.17 not 5? I should take that as my first clue you’re not serious. People round up to 5 for meals all the time, this is such a strange thing to start on.

    Nintendo confirms Switch Online retro game removal in US and Europe

    Responding to the news on X, former PlatinumGames co-founder and current Clovers Studio founder Hideki Kamiya – who regularly posts about his love of classic games – criticised the move, asking for the return of the Virtual Console service, which was available on Wii, Wii U and 3DS and allowed individual games to be bought.

    “Hey hey hey, I guess subscriptions are no good after all,” Kamiya wrote. “Seriously, bring back the Virtual Console… don’t be so mean.”

    It should also be noted that numerous retro games were delisted from Virtual Console over the years too, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Yoshi’s Cookie, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Aleste, SimCity, Street Fighter II, Final Fight 1-3, Super Turrican 2 and Super R-Type.

    for 1-6, you’re paying a rental subscription service to play an emulator… just type emulator into a search engine, go to one of the hundreds of sites. Hell, go to archive.org and get the official nintendo online emulator pack.

    Here’s your mariokart, here’s your banjo.

    Guess what?!?! I’m not gonna charge you a fucking penny and I’m not gonna log onto your device and remove your data!! You’re welcome!!

    (don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about BOTW for, it was an example that nintendo is making shittier products and can’t be relied upon anymore if their flagship game can’t even run properly on the console, keep making an ass of yourself though)

      4.17 is closer to 4 not 5. I dont care if you spend more on meals than you owe because you dont see that. I was only pointing out that you rounded up the cost to emphasise a point that is invalid because i am not even paying 4.17, let alone 5 a month. Ao yeah i am gonna defend myself when, like i saod, i am actually paying 1.25 (or 5 by your logic. Or would it be 0 because 1.25 rounds down to 1 in your world)

      The lie you made is the price i am paying, what you get for the monthly cost. Again, you dont round down online access, multiple game expansions and a list of old games to just some old emulators.

      You are purposfully ignoring features and increasing the price to make it seem like you are more rightm its dishonest and childish.

      I have used emulators since the no$cash game boy emulator. For the most part they are good. But they dont play all games perfectly. Like banjo is full of glitches and crashes when emulated. Same for mario 64. Same for goldeneye. So not only are you underselling the nintendo switch emulator, you are overselling emulators like dolphin etc.

      I appreciate the convenience of taking the emulated games away from the desktop due to the switches portability and if its costing me less than the proce of a cup of coffee per month then i would happily pay for the convenience. Its like netflix when iflt first came along. It beat piracy because it was cheap and convenient. Now that its so expensive the piracy starts again.

      Did you just link to an article to show that they are removing games which actually just shows they removed 1 game. Since they added the service in 2018.

      Seriously. I dont think nintendo are a good company, we all know how greedy they are and how aggressive they are with lawsuits etc. But you are purposfully exaggerating to drive home a point that just inst true.

      I mentioned BOTW because you did. I was responding to you.

      Wtf? Are youbfor real?

        Man you kinda just suck at this and have completely proven my point. You don’t round bills down… have you done a budget before like a big boy? I can’t even take you seriously when you dance around some numbers bullshit lol. You’re paying for a monthly service to play a free emulator, justify it all you want.

        I never replied to you, @samus12345@lemm.ee is who I replied too. You’ve decided to jump in and talk about BOTW lol

        I literally linked you the exact program for the nintendo switch emulator, which you’ve paid hundreds of dollars for the “portability” of taking an emulator off a desktop (congrats! I don’t think it’s ever been done before…oh wait). The glitch shit just is false dichotomy that you’re stretching for.

        Funny you mentioned Netflix but unironically used it as a positive example!!! Even though it’s enshittification and current state promotes piracy!!! hahaha and then just completely blow over the fact that yes…the first game was just removed a few days ago, and the version before literally lost a bunch of great games (do you really not get the message? You don’t own the game, they are not required to keep letting you play it)

        It’s obvious you’re a happy-mindless consumer, everything you’ve said points more negative light on exactly why I wouldn’t pay for the service. You don’t think Nintendo is a good company, you think they’re greedy and aggressive, yet you’re completely ok with doing business with them. I think it’s a shit company with a shit service and you’re getting ripped off in more ways than one (financially,morally,technologically,socially).

        If you’re actually serious about being a real consumer, put your money towards actual companies and developers you can feel good about. Here’s some examples listed, the best part is they’re not going to keep showing up every month to collect money from you! I guarantee you, you’re family would remember an awesome product from one of those companies 10x more than just playing a dumb ol’ switch like every pleb. Really just trying to give them the most basic corporate experience in life eh?
