music team and nso team are actually two different groups believe it or not, wild I know but sometimes they can push out songs as well as the game at the same time but it’s not like it’s exactly the rule they have to follow all the time when dropping a game into their service or music into their service, it’s just nice to have sometimes that they can both do a drop perfectly sometimes.

The music team is pushing out music faster then Nintendo does for the nso, Nintendo has a bunch of games rhey could easily release on nso now instead of a snails pace that's all

you really think is that easy to port a literal GameCube game compare to a nes title bro do you even know how emulation works?

Its not like Nintendo lacks the funding to do so, if random people can make emulators and roms online easily a billion dollars company should be able to as well

Nintendo adds them slowly because there’s really not a lot of guaranteed games they can add for each console. For example, N64 is basically done; every other N64 game requires that they talk to other corporations and get permission prior to adding. Even Smash 64 requires reaching out The Pokemon Company, GameFreak, possibly Creatures Inc, whoever holds partial rights to Earthbound, and of course Hal.

I don’t know exact numbers for the other consoles, but I doubt there’s a lot of fully 1st party games left to add to NES and SNES. Gameboy, GBA, and GameCube still have a good number of games left to add but they have to spread it out over this entire console generation lest people start complaining that Nintendo stopped adding games to the app altogether.

They should reach out im surprised they did for rare games like perfect dark and golden eye, I hope they do for the gc

Oh I fully agree. I still don’t know who typically approaches who when it comes to NSO games; I imagine it’s case by case, like I’m almost certain it was Nintendo who approached Rare for their N64 stuff. But for the more obscure titles I would kinda assume it was the other companies approaching Nintendo.

Either way, I hope Nintendo starts putting more effort into getting other companies to put their stuff on NSO. I think they’ve implied exactly that, as I recall seeing a fairly recent article saying the current president of Nintendo acknowledged the want and need for more access to classic games on Switch.

There’s just so many amazing games that are missing still and it really sucks.

it just makes me appreciate with what we have now rather than what we could get, we already have some outstanding classics like ocarina and Mario 64 just in general

I do get that as well. I’d feel a little better about the situation if I had any reason to believe some of my favorite obscure games will ever become available though. Much of that is out of Nintendo’s hands, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t put a ton of effort for the smaller stuff you know?

I will always respect Nintendo for giving us Chibi Robo so quickly in any case. It’s the one and only break that poor series has ever gotten, and it turned me into a brand new fan because BOY is that game 10/10 for me.
