"Nintendo made downloading retro games a treat with their Virtual Console and now, Switch Online is here with a wide selection of titles in its subscription service. The question is: were retro gamers better off in the Wii era? Let's find out!" - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
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.
Nexon has released its financial statement for 2024's first quarter, and it looks like FPS The Finals isn't proving the hit the studio was hoping for.
The market for games like this is too over saturated to make a dent in other established games' player counts. Trying to start all over with a whole new multiplayer meta and grinding to get better is not feasible when there's already a ton of similar games that have come out before it.
Vote for either Virtual Console or Switch Online at the bottom of the article! 🎮😄
I still prefer Virtual Console just because of the large amount of retro consoles featured on the service. Plus titles were added more frequently.
I bought a used Wii U last year for cheap and was pleasantly surprised to find a large number of Virtual Console games available for me to download just because of the weird way Nintendo handled DRM with Wii.
Plus I’d rather just buy whatever game I want and have access to it indefinitely. Even though $20 a year is cheap, I don’t see myself getting the service just to play these games
Virtual Console all the way, and it's pathetic that it still hasn't been rolled out on the Switch! We had access to way more games from way more systems and they were downloaded for indefinite access.
You can pretty much play every zelda game ever made on the wii u, with the exception being the links awakening remake. The wiiu virtual console was great. Love my wii u, was completly under rated.
