It's because they keep making the same games over and over again.

Mario Kart 9 probably won't be out until 2023(mind u 8 came out in 2014:francis:) , what would a Switch owner want with Mario Kart 7?

U can also easily emulate the classics up to the GameCube.

Nintendo is basically niche at this point

I feel we getting a new Mario Katy by next year at the latest. There were rumors that Nintendo wanted to make it last year’s big holiday game before COVID.

There was a big outrage at the idea that only 1000 ps4 games would be backwards compatible on the ps5 or if there was even any backwards compatibility at all. Many were ready to riot as microsoft had games all the way back to the xbox. It’s obvious this was an important piece of the puzzle, and now not only do we have BC but people are actually complaining when games aren’t being upgraded to support the new consoles features (better framerates, DS, resolution, etc) which is essentially what a remaster is.

‘So why is it that nintendo can get away with not only nixing the idea of backwards compatibility but reselling the same games from last gen at full price with no discernible upgrades? Not only that but they completely killed the virtual console (games people already paid for) and are now reselling those same games on the eshop. They are charging full price for 3d all stars and taking it down DIGITALLY in march.

It’s like they do the most anti-consumerish shyt that microsoft and sony could never in a million years get away with and people dont even care. It’s like they treat Nintendo as the handicapped little brother, when in reality he’s running laps around his two big bro’s lol and the parents still coddle him

Low key they are the worst customer friendly out of the big 3 but they don’t have to change shyt because there’s millions of stans that drown out the people with legit gripes :francis:

Nintendo historically has been a company that never really practiced backwards compatibility on their major consoles. They did it on the Wii-U and that's about it I believe. Think they've just conditioned folks to accept it and keep it moving

The thing with nintendo though is they’ll have a super successful console and follow it up with a terrible one. While the switch and the WII are monsters, the GameCube and wii-u were disasters. The N64 was also pretty lousy sales wise.

They are like the Eminem of gaming, they have devoted fan base of people but despite selling a lot of albums every other album is a flop.
The gamecube was my favorite Nintendo console.

Starfox Adventures:wow:
Metroid Prime:blessed:
FZero GX:ohlawd:
Eternal Darkness:mjcry:

Just off Melee, Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Path of Radience :wow:

the GameCube’s library gets underrated. It isn’t as good as SNES or even the Switch. But it is much better then the Wii or Wii U.
