I know right
- Don't get me wrong, this is one helluva lineup of games that deserves all the criticism it's getting on this thread, but this Spider_Man lad: I'm beginning to think Shigeru Miyamoto broke into his house on Christmas morning when he was a kid and pissed all over his presents...
you should know by now with nintendo it's you get what we give you and like it. not what you want!
I take it you're Gen Z?... Those games you're referencing that are a part of NSO were originally created at a time when there was true ingenuity and experimentation in the gaming industry. I would consider it to be the golden age of gaming (which molded my childhood; oh, what a time it was to be alive). Nowadays, a lot of games are clones of one another which doesn't impress me as much.As a new subscriber of the service, I gotta admit that I'm very happy with it since I got all those games all at once. Plus, I've never owned an NS4, Genesis or any of the gameboys so there're a lot of reasons for someone like me to get excited about
But yeah, I understand how it looks for returning subscribers - the new add-ons are subpar to say the least. If they want to make amends, they should give us Gamecube games too (another console I've never owned...)
Nah, I'm quite the 90s kid just, just always were a PS fan. And thanks for pointing out that typo!
Well, I've actually been big on emulation for quite some time which is how I play most of my older titles w/o the need for original hardware. I was introduced to it in Jr High School around '98 when a classmate was playing SNES on a DOS computer and I went all in [on emulation] when I started college in '04 and never looked back, and still going strong to this day. However, Nintendo never really gave a d@mn a/b their legacy catalog of historic/past titles until the 'retro craze' started to take effect back in 2016. I do understand that Nintendo did offer the "Virtual Console" but its implementation seemed more like an afterthought compared to how NSO is fully fleshed out now. I consider it an overreach for them to even charge a monthly subscription to play those older titles [that are tied to their servers] when there's plenty of other alternative options to play those same games so I don't really see there being much value in what NSO has to offer in my opinion. I would be in agreeance had Nintendo allowed users to pay for the older titles 'à la carte' style, but I understand capitalism and that they're in business to make money.Nah, I'm quite the 90s kid just, just always were a PS fan.

I agree that those titles stem from the golden era of gaming, though I think that the original Deus Ex, Planescape: Torment, Symphony of the Night and Metal Gear Solid are even better examples of it than anything Nintendo-made. The fixation on making the games accessible to all ages works against Nintendo in that regard.
Still, I thoroughly enjoyed A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time (have yet to try Majora's Mask) and Super Metroid. So, got my money's worth so far
