Nintendo Switch Online 2021

I expect next to nothing but we'll see. The service has more or less been dropping in value lately for continual subscribers so you would hope that they would do something to address it. My unlikely dream is that if they add Gameboy games they also add some Virtual Boy with Labo VR support.
I do think they will add another console this year.
I wish they would add a matchmaking function to the online play for NES and SNES.

They've almost ran down all the "essential" SNES games at this point, and the NES library has been done for a while. I think it's mainly just Earthbound and Super Mario RPG at this point, besides third parties that'll never co-operate.
So I think another platform is likely this year and it'll probably be Game Boy. After the success of the Mario 3D Collection I can't see them essentially offering N64 games as freebies.
GameCube or later won't happen ever what with the file sizes ballooning by that point.

It's more likely that they take the NES and SNES apps down entirely than that they make the service not shit.
I would love for Game Boy to be added. My 3DS is the only way I can play a lot of those games now.
Super Mario RPG
No Nintendo 64 or GameCube
Expect that to be the killer apps for a switch pro if it comes out next year

Honestly, I just want two (edit: three) things:
- Game Boy/Color games with Super Game Boy enhancements added to all OG GB titles that didn't get them already
- Game Boy Advance games
- Better third-party gets (Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, LucasArts, Disney licensed games, etc.)
I don't expect N64 or GameCube games to ever be part of the subscription.
N64 games would either require rework so they function as well as Mario 64 does on 3D All-Stars, or wireless N64 controllers which seems like a "not gonna happen" situation.
GameCube games could just be emulated a la Sunshine on 3D All-Stars, but the big download sizes would mean they'd have to expose them differently as part of the subscription which I don't think is super likely.
The far more interesting prospect for me is whether they release new online games this year. Last year was I think just Animal Crossing, Clubhouse Games, and Mario 35? They need a new competitive online title for this year imo.

I think it would take N64 or Gamecube games to get me to resubscribe at this point.
I find it annoying that they added an Online button to the home page to bug me to re-up my subscription.

I expect very little at this point. I've given up after 2020 was so barren even for an off year for Nintendo.
It's sad. They took away VC so I thought cool, maybe NSO will be worth our while. And it's not a bad service, but the value isn't even remotely comparable to Xbox Live or PS+. It's crazy that those two services can give us relatively new games every month while Nintendo can't even give us a handful of 20 year old games every month.
If you remove our option to purchase them, then they should do a better job in making the games widely available. Four year into the Switch it isn't even half as good as the Wii U's VC a single year in.

How are you not gonna let me own advance wars 2 like 50 times Nintendo. somehow I've managed that with other Nintendo games despite my first home console from them being the Wii U.
genuinely surprised by how barren NSO seems - have had a switch for three years now and haven't even felt the urge to subscribe ever since it launched (especially now that rocket league is f2p). if we saw N64 and GBA games (or even gamecube) i'd probably be tempted, but I doubt we'll ever see that
Sorry but I disagree, also we already had the n64 library on wii.
I d rather have Mario land , oracle of season/ages for exemple
Is it possible to stack online memberships for a number of years, like you can for PSN and XBL? I currently have a family subscription which is running until July, I think.
It's the 25th anniversary of the Nintendo 64 this year, so I think we'll starting seeing those games added to the service.
They're going to add free N64 games after just releasing a big selling $60 game that includes Mario 64? I doubt that very much.
Please remove this post. I don't want Nintendo reading it and thinking that it's a good idea 😞
In fairness, 3D All-Stars absolutely would have been a really good way to subsidize making N64, GameCube, and Wii emulation that functions well on Switch. Nothing saying they have to use that model for other games that may or may not sell as well.
