Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa recently talked about how Nintendo views preserving its history and connecting players with classic games through Nintendo Switch Online. With the Nintendo Museum now giving fans a physical way to experience Nintendo’s past, and Switch Online continuing to expand with NES, Super NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, and now GameCube games on Switch 2, Nintendo seems focused on subscriptions as the main path forward for its classic library. Furukawa also said Nintendo wants to keep exploring a “variety of possibilities” when it comes to giving players access to games from the past. Tonight we’re talking about what that actually means, whether Switch Online is enough, why fans still miss Virtual Console, and what Nintendo needs to do next to make its classic game strategy feel complete.

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has apologized for the Switch 2 price increase, while also saying the new pricing does not fully cover all cost increases. At the same time, Nintendo says it is preparing a “robust software lineup” to strengthen the value of the system. With Splatoon Raiders, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Star Fox, and rumors of a Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, the Switch 2 lineup is starting to take shape. The real question is whether Nintendo has enough coming to keep momentum strong after the price increase.   Discord: http://n64josh.com/discord Twitch: https://twitch.com/n64josh Tiktok: https://tiktok.com/n64josh Twitter: https://twitter.com/n64josh Instagram: https://instagram.com/n64josh Facebook: https://facebook.com/n64josh Website https://n64josh.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
