In my opinion, this is awesome. It's about damn time they added offical Gamecube support to their systems. 3 games at launch is a little weak, but if they support it like the rest of NSO, the library will probably be great within a year or so.

3 games is not a little weak. Its a fucking joke, but it's Nintendo.

Well that's pretty much how NSO started. It sucked at first with a tiny lineup of NES titles. Now there are tons of games and they're still adding. I think it makes sense that they would hype up people with additional games added over time. I'm fine with that if I'm still paying $20/ year for NSO. I get enough value out of that as is, and more games at the same price is added value. But I absolutely agree that they should have started with more than 3 games.

Admittedly though, when I first commented on this, I hadn't seen the new prices on Switch 2 yet. Now, I'm just as pissed as anyone else. I won't be buying the system at all unless they drop their prices. And if they don't, then I guess I will just stick to playing elsewhere.
