I grew up during the virtual console era. It was amazing. Just a dollar to buy a game. I bought plenty of old games through it. Now you have to pay monthly 20 dollars on switch online to access the same games they offered for one dollar just a few years earlier. Things like this are why I emulate.
I’m sorry, but this is misinformation. The cheapest games on the virtual console were NES games for $5 a piece, and Switch Online is $20/year, not $20/month. There’s plenty of good reasons for emulation, but we don’t need to resort to drastic exaggerations to make the point.
It’s all good! I wasn’t trying to call you out, I also had to double check before I left my comment just to make sure I wasn’t correcting you with more misinformation lol

I haven’t payed for either in a long long time, so genuinely forgot the price for both. I guess this is a lesson to search before I type lol.
