Nintendo has to be the most frustrating company when it comes to playing Older titles

Now I know the easy answer is to buy the Original Hardware and games, but its 2021 dammit, I want it to be easier and in some cases, looking at you Earthbound!, Cheaper to buy or play digitally.What brought me to this was the upcoming release of Metroid Dread, I like Metroid but there are a couple of games I've not played or want to replay and looking at my collections I only have access to whats on Switch right now (I miss my collection of Retro, but I had bills to pay 📷 ) which limits me to Metroid and Super Metroid on Switch or the SNES Classic.This only leaves me with very few options:Buy a Wii U and play through VC or the Disc version of Prime Trilogy (also a pain as I did own the Digital version of this I'm sure, but the older Nintendo accounts were different)Buy a GBA or 3DS for Fusion, I do have a 3DS somewhere, and I still have the Cart for Fusion as well as the Digital version on Wii U, then buy the Remake of Samus Returns, a game that was released a year after the Switch's release (and Nintendo wonder why Metroid doesn't sell well)Emulation with Dolphin, admittedly, this could be great option to play at a better framerate and resolution on the Prime Series as wellWhat is more annoying is Nintendo could easily address this with their NSO or VC stores, but they just don't, take a look at what Xbox do with older franchises such as Halo, I can go back and play every single Halo game on my Brand New Xbox Series X whenever I want before Infinite's release (in fact I did this with the PC version just before Infinite was delayed last year) via /r/Games https://ift.tt/35Y0Iq8
