@hellnawafflecar: Its a misconception, generally created by Sony fanboys that like to regurgitate shit, that you need to pay again for b/c on XB1. I didn't read the comments here but I've seen this since b/c was introduced to the XB1.

@speed45823: Add Game Pass that is heck of a lot better than streaming. Oh yes for sure. If one is interested in Scorpio whether he has an XB1 or not, definitely looking better.

@gotrekfabian: Going to call bullshit on their "stock issues" to meet demand. Its all over the place. Walmart, Best Buy, Local Stores even on Amazon.ca so that's that.

Now that was quite the biased answer......****cough-***** PSNOW******cough cough****

@doctor_mg: Me too because it certainly seemed to with the last announcement that VC as we knew it was no more. I really hope we'll get some full clarification at E3 as this is getting confusing.

Xbox controller....or a bad bad copy of it anyone?

A few things come out of this imo.

1- VC as we know it is over. This isn't a bad thing but I think short and medium term very little will be offered on a Nintendo VC. Just think so far: the Neo Geo classics being released by Hamster and now Data East Arcade Archives coming as well. Those are games out of the service Nintendo is proposing. There is this thing with Sega Forever sub service as well that could potentially take form as well in a Switch version (or they could just go the Hamster way and release individually as well). Also notice that VC development has completely stopped on 3DS

2 - The official comments regarding SNES VC is "we have no comments at this time" - this combined with the MS survey + abundant rumours now completely points at an E3 announcement of a SNES Mini which will make the SNES games on Switch appear further maybe in late 2018

3 - Take good care of your Wii / Wii U console because its unlikely anything outside of the NES and perhaps SNES later on will be on Switch any time soon (aka no SMS, TG16, GEN, N64, Wii, etc)

So now here's the kicker. Remember those rumours of Gamecube VC games coming? I still think they are coming but not part of VC service. You will have VC the subscription service and then, separate from that - "remastered" retro games (maybe with a new collection title) up to the WiiU (like they did for Mario Kart 8) simply in the eshop (maybe the occasional physical release) and those will go for a premium price.

Anyways my 2 cents and lets hope E3 clears a bit of this up further :)

Is anyone really surprised by this? A lot of us called it on day 1.

@silv3rst0rm: Ha...funny man. I got it there as well. Too easy hehe.
