What do we think of the Nintendo Switch Online Membership?
Wii U had to wait three years. 3DS had to wait five.So earlier this month, I realized that Nintendo hasn't revealed their NES games for the month, even though it's been almost a week. So I thought “Wait, are they actually planning something big for online!? ARE WE GETTING SOMETHING OTHER THAN NES!?”
Nope. Just 2 NES games (TWO, by the way, TWO a month.) and a feature that literally only matters if you are actually wanting to play the games.
Why are people still defending this garbage?

Still, we shouldn't beg for more NES games. We might give Nintendo the wrong idea.

Apparently a lot of people have been experiencing lag on SMM2's online. As expected.
I haven't been experiencing much lag, but it's not fair to those who do.
And despite this, there are still some sheep that defend this service.

The general consensus is that 99% of NES games aren't worth playing or even buying.
Also, SEGA is much better at preserving their games and sell them for dirt cheap on Steam because they know that these games are old and had their time in the sun. $5 for NES games is ridiculous. Have I played NES Pinball or the countless sports games for NES? No, but why would I? If I wanted a sports game, one on the NES wouldn't even be my last choice. Give us games we want to play, gosh darn it.

I can't believe you need Switch Online to share levels in Mario Maker 2.
I was really excited for this game. I didn't pick up the first one and the new content in the sequel looked like a ton of fun, but most of the game is locked behind this stupid membership.
I've heard other people say this about Splatoon 2 with the focus on online matches. At least Smash and Mariokart can be played locally on one system and have lots of offline content. As far as I can tell, most of Splatoon 2 is online only.

I know I’m going to sound like a grandpa who says he misses the good ol’ days, but—
Why are people complaining about there only being NES games? Can you AT LEAST appreciate what it has to offer? I don’t care if the game is old or not, I just want fun. That’s the reason we even bother playing video games, we just want fun.
I’m sure people are gonna argue with me until the heat death of the universe happens.

I don't think the problem isn't that we only have NES games, it's the weird choices, lack of third-party titles, and slow drip-feeding of games that are upsetting people. Heck, I think people would tolerate the inclusions of sports games (I can't imagine playing virtual golf, wrestling, or volleyball on an NES.) if they gave us more games per month or released two or three NES games multiple times per month instead of just once. Some of the most popular NES games were made by third-party developers like Capcom, Namco, and Konami, but their games aren't on the service. That's probably because they made compilations of and re-released said beloved titles, but I digress.

I'd actually perfer not having any old games over the NES games because at least with the lack of any retro titles it's just a one and done disappointment. With the NES games, it keeps kicking me in the face that we don't get anything else until they say so. I know I’m going to sound like a grandpa who says he misses the good ol’ days, but—

SNES/N64 should've been on here on day ONE of the service.
I'd like to keep the NES games at the moment though so it can bridge our way to the other consoles.
