The truth is I had not heard about this news until I saw your post, in my opinion I think that any retro compatible option should be free, no matter what console it is or what era, I say this because it is the same company who made those other games, so it seems absurd to me that you pay for the same console twice. 😵
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
You don't have to buy them twice if you already own those older consoles and games though, so.... I'm not really sure what your point here is. Not saying you're wrong, I just really don't know what you're trying to say.
I mean, the backward compatibility of the old consoles should be in the Swith because it is the newest Nintendo console no matter the cost, that's what I mean.
Even if that were the case, it wouldn't have anything to do with the streaming service. Backwards compatibility would mean you could use your old cartridge's or disks. This is something that has only been done on three consoles, and now it's happening on a fourth, in a limited degree, with the XBox one X. Either way, even on all of those systems you still have to pay for the games. Even if the Switch were backwards compatible, that isn't going to mean the online service should then also be free for the game streaming.
Are you saying that games from older generations should just always be free on the newest consoles? Cause if not, I still don't understand the point you are trying to make.
