    I know a ton of people who would buy a switch just for a collection of N64 games built in. I mean look at the Super Nintendo adapter they sold a couple years back.

    And here they are insisting on a shitty subscription service. Capitalism is always efficient.

      They could sell a Micro SD card with an emulator and a bunch of ROMs and people would go nuts for it. When it comes to their back catalogue, Nintendo has consistently made terrible choices.

      Literally me. I own an N64 and a collection of games and an adapter that makes it all look not terrible on HDTV. I don't like going this route and if I could access the N64 library for a reasonable price I'd probably buy a Switch. But it's a very limited library and it seems like it has plenty of issues. And of course it's the (expensive) monthly subscription thing anyway.

      N64 is notoriously difficult to emulate. Something like what Analogue does for SNES would be perfect but they said it's too hard.

      Btw good carts of popular N64 games can sell for well over $50-$60. Not even as collectors items, there's just that many people who want to play them.

        Just get an everdrive (essentially an SD card in a cartridge shell).
