I will say that those limitations are why Smash Remix is my favorite mod for any Smash game. It's a lot easier for the mod to be pick up and play compared to later mods where people spend half the match trying to figure out wtf their character can actually do.
I figured when they called it “Expansion Pack” it was because they were going to focus on first party dlc expansions. Since launch we got the Animal Crossing DLC, Splatoon 2 DLC and Mario Kart DLC. Now Mario Kart’s DLC has been going for like 2 years but that’s over so I assume they’re going to start finding other DLC packs to throw in as value adds.
It's madness to me that Spaltoon 3 and Big Block DLC didn't come to it ASAP. They positioned it as including, well, expansion packs, and then didn't provide any after the first few months. Absolutely ridiculous. It's like the product designers for Expansion Pack and whatever bean counter decides how things are made available have been in deadlock for years, unwilling to communicate with each other.
They probably only want to comp DLC for games with multiplayer components. Which is why the Animal Crossing and Splatoon 2 DLCs are included even though those expansions are single-player focused.
I guess it has something to do with the fact they are only available through Nintendo official store (and you need to have NSO subscription) thus they're much more limited in numbers compared to the Joy-Con. And also more complicated to put them together.
I think they were probably more focused on having their multiplayer dlc in the Expansion service as to retain more active users.
I'd honestly believe that, like everyone else, Nintendo straight-up forgot Luigi's Mansion 3 even had multiplayer DLC
GBA Mario Tennis/Golf are also missing so they might be released together.
How do you mean they are missing??
You expect Nintendo to make a working Saturn emulator after how much they struggled with N64?
N64 wasn’t their emulation A-team. Was also bogged down by a pretty old base
If anything, I assume that'd be outsourced to someone, like how M2 did the Mega Drive/Genesis emulator
I dunno if it's a hot take or anything, but I would much rather have an overhaul to the N64 emulation than another system. It got botched so hard and I just can't bring myself to play it even though there's games I love on there. My point was more so the N64 and Saturn have a stigma of being hard to emulate even though one is solved now (N64) and Saturn is still getting there (but much better than it was).
Honestly, same.
Come on now. They’re not going to restart it lol
Well at least we know they have those Mega Man games ready any time they want since that leaked NES NSO build lol
I think they won't do like that this time, however I could see Switch 2 builds of the NSO apps being done later, maybe, relying on the BC for a bit of time as I just kinda think even on Switch 2 launch, just like Switch 1, not everything will be ready in time
Legally I don't think they could ever do this. They would be messing with a product by a 3rd party company by extracting things from it to use in their app. They would have to enter into agreements with a number of publisher for all these titles and then test the games within the emulator to ensure it works without issue. Can't see this ever being worth it.
If you don't have it I recommend Demon's Tilt. It definitely scratches the Devil Crush itch and it's on Switch and I think Steam too.
While I agree with this, I would point out the main driver of NSO subs is online play. Even if they did reset the classic games library again, 90% of people will still subscribe to whatever the basic tier is so they can play Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Smash online. This will be especially true if/when Switch 2 starts to get some of the bigger 3rd party titles that missed Switch 1 like Call of Duty and Madden.
I am desperately holding off buying a second (and third and fourth) in the vain hopes that we might finally get the funtastic colours

Like c'mon, I just want the arctic blue again. Hell, I just wish some custom controller modder would make translucent resin shells like they did for Joy-Cons and GC controllers
I imagine if they did a reset like that they would lose a not insignificant amount of their subscription base. Sure it’s for online play primarily but the retro collection is one of the better deals in gaming right now (assuming you haven’t played them before aren’t a jerk about retro).
