    I have the Nintendo Online expansion pass and quite enjoy it. I am annoyed, however, that one day the service will disappear and I won’t be able to play these games conveniently on the Switch. I will then revert back to my GBA SP and maybe get a Steam Deck for emulation. Selling these games physically on compilation carts would be amazing but will never happen.

      The only thing that makes me wonder if thats how it will go down is if they do what is happening with Pokémon Bank. Once the 3DS servers go down, Pokémon Bank is free for everyone and will always work so it makes me wonder if Nintendo will follow suit. Thats the only thing that makes me somewhat hopeful for future. Hopefully they do it because a lot of people would LOVE that.

You have a lot more control over the cart with lighter characters and it makes it a much more enjoyable game. I love playing it on the analogue pocket.

      A subscription model might be a good fit if you consider that if Nintendo makes a new console, they'll probably start things over again. At that point, if you want to own the game it's just better to either get the original hardware, or just emulate it. Otherwise you end up in the same situation as a long of long time Nintendo fans are now: "Guess I'll buy Super Mario for the 10th time now"

I get wanting to get more money, but if they cared a bit more about online services, they could have totally just come out with an official emulator for the switch, charged for it (given the amount of money that people spend on re buying those old games, they could have easily charged $60), and allowed people to re-download the games that they had bought in previous devices.

Sure, it sucks that you bought the games on 3DS and Wii-U and can't use those on Switch - but we'll have the digitally bought Switch games on the next console, and it'll continue the Online Subscription as well as the Expansion pack, to which subscribing makes sense if you're into Nintendo's games, anyway.

      @RickMidds Pƙed rokem

      First of all, you have to remember that this is one of the first console shooter games and when they ported it to Switch they kept it as original as possible or people would have bashed it all over the internet. It has auto aim, so just point yourself in the direction of an enemy and pull the trigger and they go down. Now if you try to aim down sight it’s not very steady. Movement is forward, backwards, left and right because all you had was a D-pad and one thumb stick for movement back then.
      You can reconfigure the buttons to a more modern set up. Just look on CZcams. There are plenty of videos on how to do it. You can even save the new button configuration and name it something like 007. When you want your controller back to a normal configuration when you turn on the Switch it will ask you if you want to reset the buttons back to normal or keep the current modified configuration. When you want to play 007 just go back to the controller settings and click on your saved custom settings.
      I was hoping when they first said it was coming to the Switch that it would have a second more modern version of the game but that didn’t happen. Who know maybe in the future they will.

    The "smaller screen" effect is for handheld mode. I have an OLED model and compared the sizes of my Gameboy Color screen and the size of the screen from the Switch Gameboy resize effect and they're not quite the same. I'm sure if I was running it on my original Switch it'd match up to scale properly or at least more similar in size.

    The screen size thing is more for handheld mode, it makes the screen size of the Game Boy and Advance games about the size of their original console screens.

    I agree with some of your points, some of the nitpicks don't. I've been playing gba on original hardware mixing it with some emulations for hard to find titles, and having the og resolution makes a lot of sense. Specially when comparing with og hardware. But it was a great move from Nintendo! Love your videos man. Keep it up

    Tbh, I don't think having Switch Online have those games is a bad idea(though GBA is not worth the $50 tier, I'm sorry). The approach of just having a singular emulator app is also a good way to save space. The problem is that Switch Online more or less holds these games hostage. If they let you play certain retro games for free if you buy Switch Online, AND let you purchase them separately from the eShop, it'd actually be worth it, I think. Cause like you said, Switch Online is a good place to try out games, I just view it as a bad way of preserving games.
    I want to pay Nintendo money for Metroid Fusion and stuff. I don't want to pay Nintendo money for the online play that I'll rarely ever use, and get permission to basically rent Metroid Fusion for a year.
