Nintendo Classic Consoles Are Replacing the Virtual Console - With massive restocks of the NES and SNES classic consoles, along with rumors of a GCN Classic and N64 Classic console, Nintendo has no need for a virtual console.
Ghosts of Tabor creators Combat Waffle Studios have collaborated with GLYTCH on a new "Skill Issue" flavour. Plus PICO is now supported.
The Nintendo 64 era was a fantastic time for platformer games, featuring timeless classics and obscure hidden gems.
Coming to Game Pass: Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Immortals of Aveum, Lords of the Fallen, and more!
Just recently finished playing Immortals of Aveum on PSplus extra, can definitely recommend it to those who like fps magic wielding type games, it's really good.
I own & played Immortals Of Aveum & Lords Of The Fallen already. The only game on that list I'm going to try is Hellblade 2.
Chants Of Sennaar is a favorite of mine, if you like to figure things out as you go, literally decipher what the hell is going on, play it it's amazing
Nintendo is making easy money off of these retro consoles. No way they stop now
There isn’t a need for Virtual Console. Not every console will be featured on these mini consoles.
VC will always be an appreciated feature
And while I understand where you're coming from, I think you're looking at it wrong.
I always thought the classic consoles were for fans/collectors or the, lack of a better term, nostalgic casual. You know, the ones who can't justify buying a $300-$400 console for a few games or simply don't care to play anymore, so $60 dollars is a fine investment for something they did like or know about.
Nintendo's online service - yes, the one everyone bashes before seeing it - is the Virtual Console replacement. It's the next logical step for it whether anyone believes it or not.
So let's sit back and relax and react when we know, for sure, what Nintendo is doing with their service, because until then it's all speculation and needless negativity for half of the story.
They're making a ton of money on those consoles, it sadly makes sense
