- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 พ.ค. 2024
- In the more recent Nintendo Direct, Nintendo expanded the Nintendo Switch Online service with Gameboy & Gameboy Advance games! We can now all play Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga on our switches. NSO has changed so much since its original introduction back in 2018. From only starting with NES games. We now have NES, SNES, N64, Gameboy and even Mega Drive games!
So what is next for Nintendo Switch Online? There is still a lot of games and console gaps for Nintendo's history such as Gamecube and the DS. Where are the Pokémon games?

I would love for them to increase their catalogue for gb and gba games. There are so many good franchises that are must plays, like Pokémon, Metroid, etc.
Metroid Fusion is already confirmed so that's great! Hopefully Zero Mission comes too
I'm looking forward to legend of zelda oracle of seasons and ages for gbc and hopefully fingers crossed we will get the pokemon ones and maybe even that gamecube
Maybe Mario land 1, it’s strangely missing
Yeah, the main thing from the gb and gba were the pokémon games. So it's sorta weird they weren't added to begin with.
Melee???
The biggest thing for GameCube games on switch are the 4 Mario Parties, Double Dash, and other popular games that haven’t been ported to the switch
And smash bros. melee.
And Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door!
F-ZERO GX!!! 😄
Windwaker and twilight princess
@@aurawarrior1367 biggest
The DS idea would be nice. We probably aren’t getting a new Rythm Heaven any time soon, so this might be a good way to revisit that gem of a rhythm game
They could also add Rhythm Tengoku to the GBA games, which I am really hoping for.
@@DBStudios2819the Switch has a touch screen lol
DS games on Wii U worked because the console had two screens and you where forced to always use the game pad, so you always had a touch screen, something you don't have while playing docked on switch. It isn't something impossible to get around. Using the right stick like a stylus and holding zl to click could work but it won't be as good as it was on Wii U
Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection took that same exact approach where it used the right analog stick to control the touch screen side, with the right trigger or the right thumb stick click for the touch screen press
Links awakening is the other game available on NSO and also had its own remake, and it wasn't a simple update like Mario 64 just upscaled textures it was a full ground up remake and sold for 60$ so a remake/remaster clearly isn't a rule to exclude something right away.
DS games would be very tricky to port on the switch. With the Wii U it worked because you can have 2 screens being the TV and the game pad and the game pad was a touch screen. On switch you take to dock out and it’s no longer on the tv. You would be limited and for a lot of the games you wouldn’t be able to just play on the TV. I can’t really see a way that they can make that work and not make it seem awkward.
it will be awkward but possible, cfw has done ds emulation for a while so im sure if nintendo wanted DS (wont happen tho) they would split the screen
@@mobious01it's nintendo. They don't care if it's awkward as long as it makes them money.
If Gameboy (and gba) ever gets Nso controllers like nes, snes, n64, and genesis did with working screens, then I would imagine a DS controller being an easy sell for a more accurate experience. If not, maybe some sort of strange download play stuff could be done with 3DS systems without using the eshop. Or maybe nothing at all will end up happening.
@@Gold_Yoshi I doubt GB(a) would ever get their own controllers since they're handhelds with a screen built alongside the controls. There's no way Nintendo would make controllers for consoles with a screen on them, especially for DS since it would be difficult to get a peripheral with a screen to work with the switch plus it'd be too expensive just to play Ds games on the switch. There's alot of games that use the touch screen too so there's no way to make DS work on the switch
@@diego_brando_4352 gba joycons
I still think that Gamecube games and Wii games should be added to NSO, because 3D-Allstars can't be bought anymore. Sure it might be a huge middle finger to people who actually bought the collection to add the games to the online service, but people who couldn't buy the collection could still have the chance to play those games without committing piracy or having to spend more than they should on consoles that aren't being made anymore. Nintendo could also just not include the games that got remasters in the online service
Yeah and not only that they have a higher chance to get ported than the 3ds
Unless Nintendo stops caring about the right-out-of-the box accessibility, there will never ever be any GameCube NSO because of one issue :
GC games are designed around its controller. But the GC controller have features that can't be reproduced by any Switch controller, mainly the analog triggers, and would force customers to pay for extra accessories in order play these games properly. And I don't think Nintendo wants that, on the top of the an already expensive NSO+Expension Pack
@@Adrienmon then just create a new playstyle like they did with sunshine, also this is Nintendo, they would have literally anything that could work for this
@@markharbath31X9 This creation of new playstyle is possible, but going over evey and each game to evaluate how to do it is a heavy task, that won't be solved on most of the games. It was possible to make a room for adaptation on Sunshine for 3D All Stars for both states of the R triggers, but not so many games could be that luky.
Let's take another example, like F-Zero GX. It uses the triggers at their full capacity with real progression for drifting. It would be a nightmare if it's just dispatched on 2 buttons per trigger, like FLUDD is in Sunshine.
But if you do, it also means that you'll have to put the attack initialy on the Z botton somewhere else. L-stick button is available, but would be a nightmare to use because you'll have to turn it while pressing it. R-stick clic is also available, but is even worse because accessible only if you move your right thumb from ABXY buttons, so it's impossible considering you have to constanly have your thumb pressing A.
But even if also you somehow manage to do it, you'll still have to find a new room to make for the boost on the Y button. Because on GC, Y button is right on the top the A button. On a Switch controller, Y is on the opposite left of the A button.
And in the end, if you managed to do something that surprisingly works, first I would owe you an apology, but now many things would not match on what's written on the screen due to all for these button modifications. They took this time for Sunshine, but I doubt they would take that time for NSO releases, and correcting every and each language textbox to edit the buttons displayed on screen.
Now I let you imagine the nightmare it would be if they had to try to think about it for every and each game they want to be on the NSO. So if someday there is a GC NSO, it will maybe be on a future system, but definitly not on this current system with this kind of default controllers.
@@Adrienmon just have L swap the triggers to half pressure (so for example in melee, ZL would full shield but L + ZL would light shield)
My prediction is Nintendo is going to continue with hybrid consoles and their next gen system will bring back duel screens. So gb/gba will be the last systems on switch but ds and GameCube will be featured on their next system and will have no problem running them with increased power and no screen compromises.
I think they will also add SEGA Saturn games to switch.
Yeah a big handheld system with dual screens would be awesome.
@@yknow8008 probably not going happen. Thier whould run fine did do it because saturn emulator on switch run sega rally really well. So do it hope that emulator so most of games can come over. And maybe finally get Vitra fighter 1 and 2 sega rally on switch. And hopefully if do add mega man 8 because saturn ver only boss frought with
cutman and woodman
I agree, I think it will have a slide rail to attach a second screen which can also be separated. However, I see them releasing that separately also a camera accessories with AR games
Rather than a second screen, you could have it be more of a WiiU kind of deal. Keep the tablet form factor and have the dock act as a link to cast the second screen to the tv. Though I don't see a DS/3DS emulator being enough of a killer app to carry a whole console feature by itself.
While it’s cool that we’re getting more consoles and games, it still feels like NSO should’ve had all of this out the gate
I bought Mario 3D All Stars nearly three years ago! If next summer they add some Gamecube games to NSO I will not be annoyed that I got to play Mario Sunshine for four years and now my friends can play it too. I would be excited!
Well thing is for the 3D All Stars you own the copy forever with the emulation they can pull the plug at any time
About the remasters, Nintendo is notoriously weird about things. They had Mario 64 for ages on 3D All Stars with no other option, however it was on release for N64 Online. Link's Awakening DX is on GB Online when they've got their own remake too.
If anything M64 being on it and 3D all stars being a "limited" release would make sense since according to Nintendo they're not available anymore. I could see Sunshine either sold on its own or in a new emulator. Could possible be for the next Nintendo console though.
Oh yes GameCube games on switch
Yes yes please Gamecube games on switch I miss those games
@@christiancayard5310 of course my favorite game on GameCube wind waker on Wii u
My first GameCube game was Mario Kart Double Dash. If you are reading this comment Nintendo, please make a GameCube Nintendo Switch Online.
YEEEE
Super Mario Sunshine Luigis Mansion and all the Mario Party 4 through 7 please Nintendo bring back those awesome games on gamecube to the switch online
GameCube and DS would be good, but for now, no need.
We need games coming faster, there are still many NES and SNES games missing.
this is something i would really want to have without needing homebrew on the switch
You should still homebrew it anyway cause of all the things you can do with a modded switch like emulation, game mods, custom themes, and being able to use android and linux
ur lucky enough to do that. As for me, im less likely to do that because i have a V2 which is unpatched
For me, the Game Boy line has been considered the epitome of lightweight emulation. GameCube could go next (even though that system can only be emulated on modern machines).
I think the next viable option is Turbo, the Wii and Wii U both had Turbo VC so we know there is a standing relationship with Konami. Nintendo knows they can polish up Wii and GameCube games and sell them for near full retail, so I don't think they will be giving that to us on the service.
Also another reason why gamecube wouldn't work is because 1: each game is around 1 gb so the file size for it would be huge and 2: it would take a lot more work for gamecube games cause they would have to optimize the emulator for every game instead of just dragging and dropping a rom and calling it a day. If you look at gamecube emulation on a modded switch, the most fps you can get is like 25 and that's overclocked, if the cpu is stock it's only like 10 fps
Exactly. If they wanna add GameCube they would have to limit it to people with sd cards, and they'd probably also put it in an extra expansion pack.
And also controller problems. Like the ABXY button pattern is diffrent and allow diffrent combos on a GC controller (A+Y) that can't be reproduced without a cranky remapping. But the biggest issue would be L and R analog triggers on the GC, that have no equivalent that could be emulated on Switch controllers. Sometimes some tweaks thru remapping can be done, but it's very far to be that easy for every and each game.
Even if it could technically be solved by saling NSO exclusive GC controller or producing once again GC controller adapters, we have to remind that the purpose of NSO is to be playable by any Switch right out of the box without any extra accessory. And having to pay extra bucks to properly play these games if you don't already have GC controller + an adapter on the top of the already exepensive NSO+Expension Pack, it would be a real pain in the ass.
Even if GameCube emulation is possible, I could see Nintendo taking a different approach and instead reprogramming the games to utilize the Nintendo Switch hardware as opposed to the emulation route. Anything is possible.
@NewGabeOrder yup that’s what they’re already doing. We’ve seen it with Metroid prime and pikmin shadow drops. They’ll probably be even more in the September direct
I'm gonna be so damn happy if they successfully make the gamecube category! Its something ive wanted since launch!!!
I think we will get GameCube to NSO switch online expansion pack next summer or early 2025
However GameCube online would be so cool and fans are hoping for Zelda wind waker and twilight princess to come over to switch online soon as possible
I think we need to wait until 2025 for GameCube to arrive to switch online NSO is best for now
What I'd be thrilled to have Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy on the switch online plus expansion pack service I'm happy I own em as well.
Technically we do have Mario Sunshine and Mario Galaxy on the Switch but that was part of Super Mario 3D All Stars and that game is no longer obtainable unless you already got the game before it got removed. Plus, those don't have save states or rewind features like the NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBC, GBA and the Sega Genesis games do so the Wii and GameCube getting added to NSO would be nice. I do wish that they would make a peripheral that makes all previous games from previous systems playable but I do understand why they isn't and won't be that coming anytime soon since NSO basically already does that. Plus, it might be USB which is going to be fine for some Switch consoles but not for others *cough cough* Switch Lite *cough cough*
Since the Pokémon company is it’s own thing. You forget to mention that they could always announce gen 1-3 coming to switch switch online through a Pokémon presents.
Oh my God that's it Ds that was a coming soon
You make a very valid point about GameCube and remastered titles. I've always thought that the Nintendo DS library would be next. It seems like a good choice.
5:25 Are you really going to ignora that Link's Awakening both the original and the remake are on switch? I mean... Is nothing they haven't done before
Tbh the internet would blow up if GameCube games were finally accessible in a legal way outside of remasters
I hope most of Nintendos past games are available on switch soon. I wanna play so many of the great games that were on the old systems all in one place.
If they do gamecube games i hope they give the games widescreen
I could see them adding GameCube and Wii games that aren’t getting remastered since not all GameCube and Wii games will
I also don’t know how it could run Wii games since most of it is just motion controls
@@benjizucker6091 The Joycons support motion control.
@@radio_marco I still don’t think that it’ll work
@@benjizucker6091 You forget about Skyward Sword HD?
@@user-be3qc7re9o no I didn’t but I do remember the joycon drift
If we do get Gamecube, hope we get Pokemon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness.
DS would be impossible to port over and the wii would be acward with its motion controls
True. But some people do like the Wii and motion controls.
I mean they brought DS games to the Wii U which also seemed impossible. DS games could easily come to Switch too.
@@maxpowers6738 I just noticed that my wiiu has a second screen on ot and my switch doesn't have one
They should add Virtual Boy and just drop the entire library, all 22 games. Certainly players will find something they like in there.
Bro Nathaniel bandy’s parody is slowly becoming a reality
wii games, BRING BACK SPEED RACER!!!
Yes, I hope the next Nintendo direct should announce Nintendo GameCube Online and NDS Online!
And also Nintendo Wii, 3DS Wii-U Online.
I think it would be cool if Nintendo added games for the Sega Master System, Sega Game gear, Sega 32x, Sega CD, Sega Dreamcast and TurboGrafx16 to the Nintendo Switch Online service. And I guess the Sega Saturn, too.
I want wii games added so I can play one of my favourite games, Mario party 9
Right. I’d definitely pay for a colosseum remastered and xd remastered
GameCube and wii nso games are still possible because of link’s awakening showing up on the gameboy nso, so they could just not include recently remade games until later on
I still have a lot of my old games and systems. I have my ds and have some roms so I could play a ton of games but it would be nice to see what titles they will bring to the Switch.
It Makes a lot of sense seeing that no DS games have come over as a port on the switch.
If they do this The games I'm hoping for are: Mario Kart DS, Mario 64 DS, Phantom Hourglass, Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow, NSMB and Mario and Luigi, Bowser's Inside storey
I see more remasters for GameCube and Wii games, but on my I am extremely exited cause I know the DS is most likely next
I think they should remade the DS games or make a new Dual screen console in the future as the Switch might die soon.
Link's Awakening was actually one example where they did a remaster first, and then brought it to the online service after.
Some games wouldn’t make sense for a remaster. Games like Mario Kart Double Dash, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Mario Party 4-7 would just be competing with the newest entry. Those are what I would like to see on GCN Online.
Honestly even better. Melee is better than Ultimate and MKDD is on par with MK8D. Can’t say anything about Mario party since I’ve only played 2 and 3 on an actual N64 and MP1 on N64 Online
@@Simptendo I wouldn't say Melee is better than Ultimate.
@@user-be3qc7re9o BUT IT ISNT MELEE
@@Simptendo Can we not please?
@@user-be3qc7re9o I would
If they add DS and DSI games, I really want them to have Dark Void Zero because it’s my favorite DSI game
Easy explanation. Eshop is still open till the 27th of March and you can still buy Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Gold and Crustal on there for I think $9 a pop. I could be wrong but conversion rates.
The fact that Super Mario Land 1 Pokemon (Yellow, Blue, or Red) weren't added was like a stab in the back since I've never been able to play them on a lit screen and actually see what the hell I'm doing.
Consoles I would love to see next in the future:
- Turbografx-16/PC Engine
- Sega Master System
- Sega CD (as a part of the Sega Genesis line up)
- Sega Game Gear (although similar to the Master System, some games were made exclusive for Master System)
- Commodore 64 (Would love this, but I don't want another Wii VC situation where they were removed for unknown reasons)
- Gamecube
- DS
- Wii
- Sega Dreamcast
- Sega Saturn (Saturn is notoriously difficult to emulate but it would be nice)
Given Genesis on the list, how about non-Nintendo consoles? I could see Turbografx on the basic tier (after all, Wii and WiiU had their games) and Saturn or Dreamcast on the paid tier some day.
A number of DS games have weird features it might be hard to do. Quite a few use the microphone. What do you do about that?
You've also forgotten.. about the Sega Genesis. Wouldn't it also be a possibility for them to add.. say Dreamcast to the online service as well? It has games comparable to the N64 but not quite on the same level as GameCube with little overlap with remakes and remasters for them to worry about struggling with certain titles for sale cannibalism as previously mentioned
i want every console in NSO period it's kinda ridiculous that it hasn't happened yet. okay i'm fine with no Wii u or 3DS since those consoles have only barely been discontinued, but in that case, we're now only missing one handheld (DS) and two consoles (GameCube and Wii). just don't add the games they're porting/remastering. i'm not sure how they would handle DS games in docked mode-motion controls could work for some games but not all, especially if you need to press a button to simulate tapping the screen while at the same time trying to use that button in-game.
Dude... the WiiU had practically two screens which made it perfect to emulate DS games. The Switch doesn't have that and half the people play it in a way where they can't even access the switches touchscreen.
I don't see them put in the amount of work required to optimize DS games for the switch.
Both would be cool.
50$ for GameCube, Wii and DS would be incredible Wii Sports would work great with the Joy Cons. I am a teen born in the late 2000 and i would really like to play the old pokemon games
Don’t forget the elephant in the room - Mother 3. If that releases on NSO for GBA then it will be one of the most significant NSO releases besides Goldeneye.
The only way that I think it could do the DS is if it's handheld only and you have to turn the screen vertical and remove the joy cons and use them separately
I mean it would be cool seeing the DS being on the Nintendo Switch Online cause you got such good games on the DS like New Super Mario Bros, Super Mario 64 DS, Kirby's Mass Attack, Kirby's Squeak Squad, Mario Party DS, Mario Kart DS, and many other Nintendo DS games but it would be cool seeing some GameCube Games on the Nintendo Switch like Mario Party 4, 5, 6, and 7, Kirby Air Ride, Luigi's Mansion, Starfox Assault, and many others but I hope the Nintendo does port TomoDachi Life on the Nintendo Switch with the new Mii Maker Editor because that would be cool to see if it does come to the Nintendo Switch cause we already got MiiTopia now all we need to complete is TomoDachi Life and that's it cause that's what everyone wants including me so yeah
Pokémon can be announced on the anniversary direct on the 27th
I have not been subbed to the online service for several years now, ever since I stopped caring about playing smash ultimate online. That said, if Nintendo added Pokemon gold or Pokemon Red they would get my $20. I would love to replay both of those games on my big screen television. Two of my favorite games from my childhood.
I don't think they'll do it though. Pokemon is a money printer for Nintendo. They ain't giving us that for $20 a year when in their eyes the online service is already a good value with its current library. They'd make a killing from a standalone Pokemon Classics Collection for $60 that includes Red/Blue/Yellow, Gold/Silver and Ruby/Sapphire. That's my prediction.
7:20 we are right to be worried because yes , the wii u did it. but the wii u doesn't DOCK. if you dock the switch , you only have the TV and no way to interact with the touch screen. and i dont think they will release DS purely for people to play in handheld since a majority of users play docked ( i never play in handheld )
Actually, the most recent comment I could find (2018) after a quick google search says that handheld vs. docked is about 50/50
Smartest options would be Sega Master System, Game Gear, Sega CD, Sega Saturn, and Dreamcast. Maybe TG-16 too.
Then Nintendo can just remaster DS & NGC games as they are.
One thing we learned from Super Mario 3D All Stars is that the Switch doesn't really have a way to simulate the Gamecube's light press shoulder button. Without it, Super Mario Sunshine feels very rigid and clunky. If they do add GameCube, hopefully they fix that functionality.
If they add it on it i would be mad excited
Another reason why a hope game cube comes to Nintendo switch online is actually something that just popped up in my head. Unless Nintendo finally gets off their butts and makes a remastered of it for the switch, it might be the only way we can get thousand year door on the switch. Rhat is paper Mario 1000 year Door.
Classic Pokémon games on Switch would make tons of people get the extra subscription deal. Tbf just the announced GBA games are amazing without thinking about Pokémon: Fire Emblem, Metroid Fusion, Golden Sun, Kirby
It turns out that games on the emulator screen are literally just jpegs attached to ROMs. If you have a Switch emulator (or hack your console maybe), you can actually go in and swap out the ROM and it runs amazingly.
So basically the trading is already set up in the emulator, which means that they're definitely coming eventually. Eventually...
I would be with you on the DS thing, but keep in mind that the Wii U had a second screen in the form of the Wii U Gamepad.
If they do the Gamecube Classics, they need to add that unreleased Kirby GCN game from 2005. They did this with StarFox 2.
Neither of these are happening till next gen. DS emulates fine on switch, but emulating DS has always been bad on any device due to the consoles touch screen and form factor. In order for DS emulation to be worth it or even remotely functional, they would have to release some kind of peripheral or special controller, perhaps even one with a touch screen and pen. Nintendo simply won't do it unless it can have a polished form factor. As for GameCube, the switch emulates it pitifully, but if the "switch pro" is even half as powerful as the steam deck, gamecube emulation will be possible.
Also, for maybe $60 or $70, you can get a ds lite and a flashcard and instantly have more games than Nintendo would ever offer thru NSO. As for wii, get one with a busted disc drive for $20-$40 and hack it, it will function perfectly, and games can be stored on a USB drive. With both of those, you'll literally have thousands of games that will keep you occupied from now till retirement.

That's so Raven and 2.
Lilo & Stitch.
Finding Nemo.
Spider man 2.
Lego Star Wars ll: The Original Trilogy.
Spongebob Squarepants Gameboy video.
Zelda ll: The Adventures of Link.
I’d think the DS games won’t come to switch due to emulation issues such as touchscreen while docked and viewing angles of the switch. The reason it works on Wii U is because it has 2 touch screens. And i feel like Nintendo wouldn’t go through the hassle of putting it on switch with the ability to only play it in handheld mode and the screen sideways.
They made it work with Super Mario Galaxy’s controls.
@@anthonybarber3220 that’s different the
joycons have an IR sensor with motion controls which no changes were done to the joycons. The difference is touch screens is completely different which is not motion controls. We would probably have an easier time of getting virtual boy games
@@seaofnayru7097 At the same time, they can use the same mechanics as for Super Mario Maker 2.
@@anthonybarber3220 but it’s sill works there in docked mode because it had a cursor in docked I believe they have to many issues to work out. If they ever release it on switch I bet only a handful of games would be fully playable
Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town is already on Switch as Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. It's also on other platforms.
i have 3 possible reasons for them not adding the pokemon games to gameboy and gameboy advance
1. if they add these games there will not be enough space to add more games
2. they are still talking with game freak
3. they are busy | i mean we are asking for a new mario game they are about to release the next zelda game and the mario movie comes out next month i get they are a big company but i do feel like they havent had the time to think about adding the classic pokemon games to online + expansion
While I'm fine with Gamecube and Wii games won't be on Switch but hopefully they do for next-gen console and it would be a good time to do that in around 2027. Adding Gamecube, Wii, Wii U and 3DS all together in next-gen console. I feel like Wii U and 3DS online should be released in 2030s.
however, I do think DS games will be on Nintendo Switch Online skipping Gamecube for next-gen console.
If we wanna get all 3rd Party for NSO
Why not Bring Master System, Game Gear, 32x or TGX-16 on the service as well?
Gamecube or Wii since the gamecube can be played normally and the wii can use the control system they used for Wii.
I hope they do actually bring game Cube and DS to the switch maybe even 3-D S there's certain games for all 3 of those systems I would love to be able to play on the big screen like eternal darkness or the game cube versions of Resident Evil 2 and 3 or Mario party 7 I have a big catalog of games that I got on a game cute that I kind of wish I could play on the big screen soul caliber 2 for instance.
Game cuban💀
@@Stevepikeredman thanks for helping me realize my spelling error.
Mario party superstars be like:”sorry could you repeat that?” 4:58
If ds,wii or GameCube gets announced it’ll probably be another tier.
I think they’ll drop some of the Pokémon games during the Pokémon presents on the 27th
If Nintendo added TurboGrafx-16 and Master System games to the subscription service, then I'll be extreme happy if they have Bomberman games for the former, and Sonic, Alex Kidd and Fantasy Zone games for the latter.
Something to think about regarding product cannibalism, Link's Awakening is available as a fully priced remaster AND the Game Boy online subscription.
Paper Mario and the thousand year door and TLOZ4swords adventure that’s reason enough for GameCube coming to Nintendo switch online.
My take on this...
The BIG reason why we will not see GC games on NSO is this simple reason:
1) The GC games are ~1GB each.
2) Switch got only 32 GB eMMC storage (OLED got 64 GB).
3) Not all Switch gamers got "that fast/good internet connection".
4) customers should not need to buy a SD card to download games from NSO, period.
The DS games are more comparable with the heavier N64 games when you look at the ROM sizes.
The reason why it works with NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, GB and GBA is that the ROM sizes are not "that big".
GameCube is out of the question. DS is much more likely.
And the second reason is "your reason": it's much much better for Nintendo to release remasters for Switch. We've already seen at least Super Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime 1.
Metroid Prime 1 has sold already at least 1,09 million copies, a mix of physical and digital. That's 43,6 million dollar, if the physical copies also counts as 40 dollar each. That's pretty good money for almost 2 months. Maybe the physical copy is cheaper from Nintendo so the stores can make a profit as well. Let's say 30-40 million dollar. That's the revenue, not profit. But these copies makes probably some gamers buy a Switch console, which is a big win!
The user experience will also be much better with a remaster (HD/900p/1080p) than an emulated low res version. For GameCube these "low res games" are actually good enough for many gamers, so it's not a good thing to offer these old verisons "almost for free" on NSO. It's a completely different thing for Link's Awakening 1993/98 (GB/GBC) compared to the remake/port for Switch.
There is one problem with DS. There's too few really good games. There's some "okay" games. New Super Mario Bros DS is a great game. It might be interesting enough for Switch users to play DS games but since GB/GBA is so new to NSO, I don't expect DS anytime soon.
DS on NSO - maybe fall 2024.
GC on NSO - never or at least a couple of years in the future.
Wii on NSO? The problem is growing! The games are ~4GB each so 4x as much as GC games. Plus that the Wii games are often using motion controls: Wii Remote PLUS that add-on "nunchuck".
So before DS on NSO, there's 1-2 years when GB/GBA should be in the spotlight as the newest addition and that they will add more games.
Other possible consoles on NSO in the future:
Sega Master System (8 bit)
TurboGraphx15
Sega Game Gear
Atari Lynx
I'm more interested in Master System and TG16 than DS.
With all these possibilities for consoles to get added on NSO at least 1-2 more consoles should pop up on NSO in the coming years, starting at 2024 (?).
Links awakening dx was added so its possible to get OG versions along with Remasters
I’m going to predict that Nintendo might going to add TurboGrafx-16 and Nintendo DS games to Nintendo Switch Online next year. I do think TurboGrafx-16 might appear on regular Nintendo Switch Online while Nintendo DS might appear on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass since GBA is on NSO + EP. I do think GameCube for Nintendo Switch Online might going to hold too much data storage since some GameCube games are about around 1 GB or above.
It's more of an issue that the Switch isn't powerful enough to emulate Gamecube games (go look up Dolphin benchmarks for the Switch) - Sunshine got away with running due to its bizzare half port/half emulation hybrid that Galaxy also used.
If they do update It again with more systems, it would make more sense for them to do the DS rather than the game cube
I would love to play wii games like wii sports sonic storybook games and the scooby doo games cause all of these were my childhood
I think the Nintendo DS has more memorable games and as Nintendo has already worked with its emulation on the Wii U Virtual Console in the eShop, it already has the experience to bring it to the Switch.
For me it is not only the best option but also the most logical one.
GameCube and I hope the Controller adapter will work with the games like Super Smash Bros. Melee!!!
Wouldn't mind sunshine and galaxy on the online , I got 3D Allstars for the physical copy itself lol I just like to own the games lol
Dreamcast being added would be cool :)
Definitely going to be Wii/GameCube at some point. Then they'll be bringing out DS/3DS.
Links awakening is also on switch online while being remade in 2019
To everyone who thinks gamecube/wii will happen; it won't. At least not in this format. With the NSO consoles ALL of the available roms are stored on your system/SD storage at once. It works with these 5 because the file sizes are all small enough. The jump to gamecube/wii made roms approx. 1 GB per game, so storage would run out fast within the first few games added. DS roms ARE small enough, but the switch does not have dual screen capability. If the successor gets that, then yeah DS games will come to that. For gamecube/wii we're looking at remasters for the foreseeable future.
We did get Link’s Awakening on Game Boy NSO, so I wouldn’t write off GameCube games QUITE yet
If they added GameCube, Wii and DS that would be legit. But the only problem is they’re are more games need to be developed on n64, gameboy, snes, etc. since there’s a couple and a lot of games missing from these that hasn’t been released.
6:20 that argument would make sense *if* the collection would still be available for purchase from Nintendo (and not from scalpers at an insane mark-up).
I don't think the Switch would have any issues running DS games, but the thing that makes me think it won't happen is the fact the Switch uses a totally different type of touch screen. You could use your finger or a compatible stylus if you wanted to on the Switch, but I'd argue it'd still be more awkward than playing like it was intended. Most games designed around the touch screen required precision (I know the Zelda games sure did). And, in my opinion, I think it would be a mess to control games on the Switch's touch screen. It worked well on the Wii U because both it and the DS used a similar type touch screens.
Then there's the problem with it being in docked mode.
Not to say Nintendo won't do it at all. They could maybe come up with something to make what I suggested a non-issue and still announce it, but as it stands I have doubts it would be ideal (at least for games designed around touch controls). 🤷
When the wii released, the N64 was 10 years old, and being included on the wii shop channel. We're now in a landscape where the Gamecube was released 21 years ago and still has not had it's library available online for purchase/streaming. Nintendo's refusal to port anything but their oldest systems is starting to catch up to them in a detrimental way
