I would actually like to finish super mario rpg. I got half way through it on the snes classic i borrowed from a buddy before he needed it back.
They didn't say less often, but that they'd no longer adhere to the monthly release schedule. Most people took that to mean less often, but some of us hoped against reason ;)
When they launched ? Monthly game. AFAIK. Ok this word scam was a bit strong. But if tomorrow Microsoft or sony drop free games it would be an uproar. Games must be ready. Nintendo just don't care. Not that I play them so much anyway. Just saying
Because when they launched the nes app it was only 2/3 games ? Same situation
I wish the DKC games would come to it, and Earthbound.
Lmao yeah I definitely came in here expecting news.
....They did the same thing with NES games. And then we got monthly updates afterwards.
i mean i totally miss the monthly releases--- would we have preferred they just continued with the 2/3 a month?
I kinda liked that people focused on the monthly releases myself, as it was more of an event---- however i hardly think that nintendo's scammed us
Poor wording. Still not fair from Nintendo. But kinda expected from them.
I'm also hoping for an update soon, however having the App I realized it was mainly not having SNES games which was annoying to me (nostalgia). Except from Super Mario World 1&2 I didn't spend much time in the App.
I think you're assuming a lot there with the way Nintendo loves to drip feed these old games.
I've been dying to play DKC2 again, especially since the SNES classic came out. I really hope it's a matter of when and not if...
i bet nintendo gave us a bunch of SNES games because they don't have any licenses sorted out yet for further games using this service
This is honestly all I'm waiting for is to replay dkc2. Please nintendo. Give it to me now!
It wouldn't surprise me if there are some weird rights issues holding up the DKCs and Mario RPG since those feel like the most obvious missing games that would be in a SNES collection that aren't (like Castlevania IV, Megaman X, Secret of Mana) in a compilation sold separately, and they were both done with companies now very external to Nintendo.
though it is kind of weird the nes game set doesnt have urban champion even now
have those konami collections sold well? i mean if they have, that probably causes rights holders to think twice about licensing their stuff for SNES online.
if a DKC collection came out, it'd probably sell like gangbusters
I think they have (no numbers to compare with), but they also have the advantage of releasing multiplatform, so they're not just selling to Switch owners. I got the castlevania collection on PC, actually.
I still stand by my statement I still think they should've offered an option to purchase the games as a seperate SKU, similar how they handled it for the Virtual Console branding. I do wonder if that maybe played in part of getting agreements for third party content, especially given how some are just selling them as collections... But that's just needless speculation on my part.
That aside, yeah, they seem to be keeping their word about infrequent updates going forward now.

Every time I see this thread bumped I get excited and check the SNES Controllers site to see if they've come back in stock. I check that thing once a day as it is, still can't believe I let myself miss that window.
I hate to be that guy, but MMX and MMX2 are almost guaranteed to never be on it because of the MMX Legacy Collection. Same goes for any of the original MM games and the NES on NSO. The rest seem possible though.
I think you'll see Mega Man on the online service eventually.
Mega Man Soccer...
I would spend SO MUCH time killing those mohter***** flies.
Out of that you'll probably get;
DKC
DKC2
DKC3
EarthBound
Mario RPG
BoFII
Nope, they said they were gonna wait longer now which will probably be for the best since the vast majority whined about the 2 per month previously.
Wish they would detail how they are gonna do releases for now on. Like any communication about it would be nice cause we just kinda left in the dark since they released it. It's strange that we haven't had anything for both October and this month, not even NES. Hopefully we find out what's going on soon
They better dump a bunch of games whenever they get around to actually updating the thing.
Inb4 they add 3 new games or less and then silence for another 4 months.

Next proper Direct will probably be in January, with a major Nintendo announcement or two during The Game Awards in December to hold us over for a bit. At least that's how things have panned out for the past couple years.
I imagine NES and SNES library updates will be relegated to "somewhere between 3 and 10 games added to each system whenever there's a Direct" for the foreseeable future.
I think there will be an update once all NSO subscribers roll credits on at least 50% of the currently available games.
This. When on earth are they gonna bring those damn things back?
The holidays would be a great time to drop some games. Sell some subscriptions.
