Super R-Type is great.

EDIT: Also, adding a random Japan only game that the rest of the world never got to play, like Amazing Hebereke, is pretty cool. Yes, it's not exactly what people want, but it shows that they're legit trying to make it a decent service.

They don't even bother translating the Japanese ROMs on the NES/SNES NSO apps so there are instances of games that are completely unplayable unless you know Japanese

Which games are these? From my recollection, the games they add tend to be pretty self-explanatory and you don't really need to know Japanese, since... Otherwise, they just don't add them, normally.

To be fair, the SNES one is much better, and it's rather easy to navigate, even not knowing Japanese. Which was mainly my point. For the most part, the Japan only games they've added are things like puzzle games where it's easy to navigate, so you don't really need to actually know Japanese.

Because they have to license most games, which takes time, and they don't know how long that may take, so if they just released literally every game they could immediately, it'd be an unknown amount of time before they could release other games, and people would complain about that, too.

It's kinda a lose-lose situation.

For the first-party stuff, sure, absolutely. For third party titles though, there's almost certainly licensing hoops to jump through if the owner of the IP even is up for putting their game on a subscription-based platform to begin with.

Like 95% of their own IPs are available. They spaced them out so that they could guarantee to support the service with releases, instead of front-loading it and hoping for the best.

This. They drip-feed them every now and then to encourage people who would subscribe to NSO primarily/exclusively to play the Virtual Console offerings to keep their subscription going or to start it up again after unsubbing, rather than throw everything out at once so people can binge-play and then unsub for the rest of the console's lifespan.

Didn't they have to jump through hoops to even re-release Tecmo Bowl, such as removing the references to real teams and players? I doubt they'll do that again.

Maybe.

OH NO wont someone please think of the poor billion dollar company and protect them from a consumer who thinks they have notoriously reported on anti-consumer practices?

god damn you guys are simps. They could license whatever the fuck they wanted at anytime.

It's also possible that Nintendo simply offers those companies jack shit. Who knows.

Nintendo clearly does the bare minimum with this service.

The reason would be if Nintendo pays them enough to make it worth their while.

Apparently they did that with Sega. Sonic 2 is available in like four different forms on Switch.

Regardless that's just for third party games. They still drip feed their own games and platforms at an absolutely glacial pace as well.

It's to string you along to keep a sub. Here's 3 games, sub next month get 3 more. It's why I don't bother.

It's business, on all sides.

Nintendo doesn't want to pay too much because, ultimately, the legit impact those games would make probably has been estimated and calculated vs. the cost they're willing to pay.

Likewise, Square, Capcom, etc., have calculated the cost of what it'd be worth it to them to potentially cut into their eShop/collection sales by having the games on the subscription service.

It isn't just as simple as "Nintendo could just pay enough," because if Square/Capcom/etc. want more than it'd be worth to Nintendo, why would they pay it? Likewise, Square/Capcom won't accept less than they think would offset the cost of potential lost sales. It's easy to say "Nintendo isn't offering enough," but if what the other companies want is more than it'd actually be worth to Nintendo... Why would they? All of them are looking for profits, above all else.

EDIT: And yes, you could say "Nintendo could eat the loss for the consumers," but so could Square/Capcom/etc. It's not a one way street.

I don't know about that. Square Enix essentially pulled support for Virtual Console by the end.
Wii U got Ogre Battle 64 and Super Mario RPG. In most countries (outside Japan) the 3DS pitifully had nothing.

I still have my Wii U, so the only games I'd be interested in if they were to be added to NSO are ones that were never on the VC. Ones that I've actually heard of beforehand like Diddy Kong Racing.

Pretty much. My friend has a NSO family plan he shared with me so we could play Monster Hunter Ride, but Ive only turned my a switch on to dump games so I can emulate them at 2x resolution and frame rate ever since we stopped playing that.
