It's something I've been hoping for a while now, and Nintendo have officially confirmed that Gamecube games are heading to NSO once the Switch launches.
Nintendo have announced that The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, F-Zero GX, and Soul Calibur II will be launching first with other games such
In my opinion, this is awesome. It's about damn time they added offical Gamecube support to their systems. 3 games at launch is a little weak, but if they support it like the rest of NSO, the library will probably be great within a year or so.
Nothing excusable about it, you just shouldn't be surprised that big greedy corp wants to maximise profits, and that an open system can run more games than a locked down console
Well that's pretty much how NSO started. It sucked at first with a tiny lineup of NES titles. Now there are tons of games and they're still adding. I think it makes sense that they would hype up people with additional games added over time. I'm fine with that if I'm still paying $20/ year for NSO. I get enough value out of that as is, and more games at the same price is added value. But I absolutely agree that they should have started with more than 3 games.
Admittedly though, when I first commented on this, I hadn't seen the new prices on Switch 2 yet. Now, I'm just as pissed as anyone else. I won't be buying the system at all unless they drop their prices. And if they don't, then I guess I will just stick to playing elsewhere.
