EuroGamer: "Cut back to the bare bones - why only the most undiscerning of gamers should consider Nintendo's new hardware revision."
Nintendo has announced the SNES and Super Famicom games gracing the Nintendo Switch Online library this month, and there are some gems to enjoy.
Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
Following the Wii U and 3DS servers being taken offline, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Ghosts are officially dead.
Call of Duty players are jumping into Black Ops 2 for the final time before its Wii U servers go offline for good.
Worse console revision ever?
@Y_5150^ pretty much.
"Mini"?

It isn't that much smaller at all.
They removed core features and functionality. No internet connectivity whatsoever. No GameCube bc. No component cable connection or even 480p... What in the f**!?
It's literally just a disc drive.

But hey, it's cheap!
What an abomination. If any console manufacturer ever tried an easy "cash-in" it is Nintendo with this absolutely atrocious version of the Wii. I once considered getting a Wii for the fantastic first-party games, but now: NO CHANCE IN HELL.
The real dick move is blocking the use of the USB-to-Ethernet dongle, despite having a USB port.
Seriously Nintendo, how much money did you save by making the effort to REMOVE an OS feature that would cost nothing to leave in?
How about the potential extra revenue you could have made from the sales of USB dongles and WiiWare and VC software?
Just thinking about Nintendo's logic behind this is melting my brain.
What about the 5200?
