The same will happen with games, it won’t just be one service that has everything.

The list was non-exhaustive, they’ve done a lot of wacky things over the years.  Need I mention using special floppy disks and card readers too?

Looks like middling crud that was hardly pushed or advertised put out by a no-name studio.

That makes no sense, both from a resource investment or a consumer perspective.  

Calm down, they just gave everyone F-Zero 99, and are about to drop Super Mario RPG remake. After making Earthbound available on NSO. They know the classic IP goldmine they are sitting on, and are shrewd to deploy it in-between bigger, bolder projects that carry more risk and expectations.

Go back to licking Spencer’s boots.

The only difference is that the games would be available on more platforms and on Game Pass, which would be good for customers.

Given that Nintendo has a pretty solid track record on backwards compatability...?

Nintendo prefers to not be first to the race, but rather the one to perfect whatever project it is they are working on

No, Wii-U died because it didn’t differentiate itself from the Wii.  A lot of people looked at and thought it was just a Wii with a tablet controller option.

When was the last time Disney used Mickey as anything more than a trademark?

Even if it was, I’m sure some of Nintendo’s former Yakuza customers would be willing to step in and make such an attempt more cost prohibitive.

Nah.

None of which impacts that an easy mode wouldn’t hurt. Some people want to enjoy the story or have accessibility limitations that the elitist ‘git gud’ mentality can’t account for.

Exactly my point.

It’s been said a million times - an easy mode wouldn’t hurt these games, and would likely make them a lot more fun, accessible and profitable.

What is Freedom of Speech but just another way to phrase Freedom of Expression - considering in other countries, that is the same term and has the same meaning and legal constraints.

I still want to see a mod that removes all pronouns and instead, enforces proper nouns instead.

Nevermind that the “freedom of expression” only applies to the government and their agents. There is literally nothing infringing your rights when a private entity looks at your prejudicial project, say “Nah, fam, we don’t agree” and refuses to continue providing grounds for it to spread. 

There is a potential way Microsoft could be charged - and already has agreed to be: “Microsoft agrees to cover all costs associated with marketing, and distributing the game while on Game Pass.”
