"Monthly game" Nintendo tries to make it sound like they're competing against Sony and Microsoft. :rofl2: Giving rental games for a month is a joke.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Three more games have been added to the Nintendo Switch’s day-one launch lineup.

Feel the same way as the chick on the left.

OTOH we don't know price or other incentives. If it's $2-3 a month, who cares really, would be as good as/better than MS and Sony as long as it had lobbies and voice chat. If it's $5/month, I'd expect at least Steam-level discounts on games occasionally in addition to the monthly "rental." Otherwise those NES/SNES games better be $5 or less to buy for subscribers. At $10/month or more I probably wouldn't play online and neither would anyone else.

It's like to come back to N64 era! but in 2017... NOT SO COOL!

Also, thread edited.

But without the 64 MB limitation XD The medium itself isn't an issue now, as they can hold what, close to 20 GB or something?

N64 used carts, the only major issue was the limited space, 64 MB tops. Now, using carts nowadays isn't an issue as they hold several GB in size, there's nothing wrong with using them now.
But for something is Expansion pak, ins'--- wait, that only increases RAM :/
Im very impressed how cartridges evolved! i still remember when Gameboy Cartridges limit was MB, not GB!!

The Expansion Pack only increased the RAM to 8 MB, carts had a capacity of 512 megabits (64 MB), gone are the limited capacity of cartridges. The carts were the downfall of the N64, but the 3DS, DS, etc used them and are both very successful.

Meh, some games didn't changed anything with Expansion Pak, like Pokémon Stadium, nothing!
SNES Super FX chip was too op on my era.

Oh, yay.

Pay $59.99 and then pay another $3-5 here and there.

More games at launch is good news, still only old games from Wii etc.
