Meanwhile, I'm just over here, playing my hacked Switch that can play NES, SNES, N64, all of the different Game Boy games, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Sega 32X, Game Gear, Master System (I have no idea why I would ever want to play the last two unless I wanted to play the OG Phantasy Star, but, the option is there), Turbografx, MSX, Arcade games, and, hopefully one day, and even more so soon, practical DC emulation on the Switch.

not all of use wish to live forever offline on our switches thank you.
Your loss on not getting another Switch to take the ban. Or do you expect the Internet to always be reliable, let alone services that could close down at any time with little regard to your backlog of games you'd like to play?
The only benefit this might have is if Nintendo uses some wizardry to get GC emulation on the Switch and we can inject images into it like with the 3DS. But I sincerely doubt that will happen!

WHERE'S EARTHBOUND YOU HAD ONE JOB!!!
In your roms folder for RetroArch.
First off, Nintendo Switch Online should be FREE! Paying to play online is crap; it was always free before! This is Kimishima's fault. While the pricing is relatively cheap, it still shouldn't exist. I propose that Online Play be made free, while the extra perks (Cloud Storage, playing Virtual Console titles, etc.) you have to pay for per month/year. It would be better than the way it is now.
Secondly, it's about dang time they added Super NES to the line-up. They should have had it already, as well as N64, Wii, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and maybe finally some GameCube titles. I'd also like to see if sometime after they officially cut services for the Wii U and 3DS if games for those platforms will also appear on the Switch.
If they ever implement these changes, I would be more likely to get a Switch. If they implement a way to support older hardware like Wii Remotes, I'd be even more likely to get one.
Like I told a certain other individual on this forum, you're expecting a company to provide you a service for which they only make more money to support said service through subscriptions. What happens once the Switch 1 becomes irrelevant? You can't trust any company to provide the same service on one system as they did on the other.
If you want all of this stuff, I recommend jumping over to PC gaming. Otherwise, console gaming online services are the same as they have been ever since the Xbox 360!
