The excitement around the NES additions feels a bit misplaced to me. While it's nice to see some classics making their way to Nintendo Switch Online, I'm surprised no one is mentioning how shallow their selection often is compared to the vast library of forgotten gems from that era. I'd much rather see them focus on titles that not only shaped gaming but also offer unique mechanics or narratives, like "Shadow of the Ninja" or "Crystalis." Instead, we get another round of the same familiar faces that everyone already has access to. It raises the question of whether they're really committed to enriching the catalog or just playing it safe.
