"Subscribers will get to download and play a Nintendo Entertainment System™ (NES) or Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ (Super NES) game (with newly-added online play) for free for a month."

You only get the games for a month even if you subscribe for a year?? These guys have some balls

Erik73573088d ago (Edited 3088d ago )

Would be nice to see gamecube and wii games thrown in there

gamer78043087d ago

Doesn't matter its only for a month. It's not a free game. It's a free month trial then u can buy, it's a money making scheme in disguise.

maybelovehate3087d ago (Edited 3087d ago )

Sadly their loyal servants will still lineup. Although that base of irrational gamers is dwindling, we will see if it has legs.

Edit: For the record I was one of those loyal servants, but I woke up after the Wii.

Agreed. Incredible how these Nintendo fans are lapping up all these terrible practices.

stuna13087d ago

No, what's incredible is how many were expecting a system on par with the current generation of consoles. Many were vocal in their speculations from power, specs, games and, price.

Everything that was speculated on has turned out to be the exact opposite just like when the WII U was announced. Even going as far as pre-orders running out! The constant back and forth about being anti-Nintendo when nothing could be further from the truth, just common sense when looking at Nintendo's past track record the last few generations.

The real kick in the balls is how the once very vocal are now trying to justify Nintendo's actions as well as their own, when the whole time they nitpicked the other consoles and their fanbases for the same practices.

Talk about being hypocritical! SMH

0Day3087d ago

Too bad Nintendo's online games and network to date have been total shit. It's really going to have to have a huge overhaul and game base to justify a paywall. Or netplay on retro console games.... that would be interesting.

Well it's not really free is it ? If you don't pay for the subscription then you don't get the game.

I would much rather be able to play online without a subscription than get a free NES or SNES game every month.

krontaar3087d ago

depending on the price this could be a huge joke

Derceto3087d ago

Nintendo. Heads. Firmly. In. Own. A**es.

Double_O_Revan3087d ago

Been saying the exact same thing for a good while now.

Dark SNES Games Not Made For Kids

As consoles go, the SNES has quite the family friendly image. But, just like a Pizza Hut when you look at its hygiene rating or taste its pizza or breathe inside a restaurant, it’s not always good for everyone.

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Lightning7722h ago

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.

That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

Ouch for everyone except Nintendo

Neonridr1d 6h ago

Nintendo - 152,790 units
PlayStation - 6,034 units
Microsoft - 191 units

Nintendo selling 25x as many units as the next closest competitor.

“ Nintendo Switch 2 still dominating in Japan”

Such a strange headline. I mean it’s a brand new console released on June 5th. It would be weird if it wasn’t still dominating in sales.

repsahj20h ago

It would be even stranger if the headline was that the Switch 2 wasn't selling. XD

raWfodog2h ago

Yeah, that’s basically what I’m saying but obviously others don’t agree.

wesnytsfs1d 2h ago

I figure its dominating everywhere. I stopped with consoles this gen sticking with PC and the switch will get 99% of the games this way.

repsahj20h ago

Going strong sales! The Switch 2 was launched here in Southeast Asia on June 26. I was among those who pre-ordered. I got my unit the same day with Cyberpunk 2077, and there was a long line of people getting their pre-orders, not as long as the line when a NBA 2K series launched, but it was different because it will be released on all platforms.

I want to see how well the June and July world wide sales.
