We could make a poll and seehahaha was just going to write how many of them are banned
Oh no. Think of all the NES games you are missing out on. Oh, wait...
In other news, there are 10 mio suckas in this world.
(Now the hard part is to find out how many of them play Fortnight.

I've only used my subscription for Splatoon and Tetris 99 actually Hoping to use it for Smash and Stardew Valley soon though! Hopefully with all these subscriptions, they consider adding more VC than just NES...

Online is pretty important to me although I don't use it often, but it's cheap enough that I don't mind paying. So yeah, I have a family plan that I'm sharing with some people.

Here it says 'Claiming the offer will give you 3 months of Nintendo Switch Online, but once 60 days have passed, and considering that you're still an active Amazon Prime member, you'll be able to claim the rest of the year-long subscription'. You will have to go back to redeem the rest after some time
I have a membership because it seems I like throwing away money.
I had one before on my Xbox One and I think I played online less than ten times on that year.
I think I have perhaps played one race on MK8DX since getting the membership back on day 1.
I guess I should get a PSN membership next, in order not to use it.
Meh... I am sure I played MK8 and SSB4 online more times back on the Wii U.
What a waste of money... but why?

Thanks for the info. Now I can actually try to calculate the value Nintendo is getting out of SMB (per the Commodore 64 port of SMB). At $20/user, that's $196 million. Presuming 95%* of the value of the service is not the free games, that means the value of all the games is $9.8 million. Since there's ~40 NES games currently and presuming the value of the games are equal*, that translates into a value of ~$245,000. Not bad, really.
* Numbers clearly made up on my end. Feel free to run your own scenarios to get some idea of how much Switch Online's SMB has contributed to Nintendo's bottom-line.

Getting banned for hacking your switch and getting so much more out of it; even NES Emulation .
But of course, if you like playing online then getting banned would be bad. Otherwise the pros of hacking, imo, outweigh the cons of being banned.

I know numbers are made up, but I would say the value they "would get from each NES game" is not at all divided in equal parts. I mean, from the 40 games sure SMB would "catch more attention" than the average and constitute more than 1/40 of the total value.

@AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.+2 -

Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other. -

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
