While I agree, I'm also left wondering why people don't just keep their old systems and games.

Because Nintendo can be morons sometimes.

Even if they did, they eventually stop working.

Because they can just remaster them and sell them for full price.

See Mario Allstars

They seemingly don't like money. Even if it was just collections of games like Mario is Dead for full price, they could be putting them out at least semi-frequently, but there must be some higher up who hates it for some stupid reason. The fact that they abandoned virtual console for the online service's thirty games shows something is fundamentally wrong with their thought process.

I think N64 and GC games will appear on Switch once the new one comes out.

It amazes me how successful Nintendo can be despite how lazy they are.

They won't

The current Switch is absolutely capable of running those games

Of course it can. Mario Allstars proved that.

Nintendo has this moronic ideology that games made in the past should be kept in the past as memories only.

Though when they do decide to do re-releases is because they're hurting for money or someone managed to twist their arm to do it.

First of all, Nintendo has NEVER been hurting for money.

And the ideology thing......

If they did, I bet you they will charge full $60 price for them.

This, a lot of my old systems stop working all together. Plus having systems takes up space in my house. It's shit like this that promotes more people pirating and using emulations to play old games.

also, storage space.

seeing as consoles are (allegedly xd)all about "convenience" there's pretty much nothing more convenient than having all your games contained within a single device.

I haven't owned a nintendo system since the n64, and I would buy a switch if it had all those old games on it.

Im not saying it wouldnt be convenient. But it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out how closets work, or to YouTube directions/eBay parts or go to the used game store when a console needs fixing.

You shouldn't need to do any of that to play a game published by Nintendo.

Because they're the most popular video game publisher of all time? Because they themselves have shown the ability to emulate their games rather easily?

Imagine having to maintain a VHS to watch The Godfather. This shit is unique to video games.
