What would you say they're missing? I mean, all of the NES, SNES, and N64 Mario games are on there, along with all of the Zelda games on those consoles. Nearly all of Nintendo's IP's are on there. I can't really imagine anything that it's truly missing.

(edit: This comment speaks to the N64 only)

Nintendo IPs: Donkey Kong 64. Diddy Kong Racing. Kirby 64 (Crystal Shards). Any of the Pokemons. Any of the Bombermans. Excitebike 64.

Non-Nintendo IPs: GoldenEye. Any of the Tony Hawk Pro Skaters[1]. Either Duke Nukem. Doom 64[2]. The second Banjo-Kazooie. Wave Race. Earthworm Jim.

[1]: Pro Skater 1 & 2 have been released for the Switch separately from NSO; $40 for both of them as a bundle. 3 has not been released for the Switch.

[2]: Doom 64 has been released for the Switch separately from NSO; for $5.

The non Nintendo IPs are necessarily Nintendo’s to use.

The $40 THPS 1+2 isn't emulated, though, it's a full remake.

I had been lead to believe that it's a source-port + remaster, not a full remake. But IDK.

Likewise, I assume the Doom 64 release is a source-port, not emulated.

Super Mario RPG isn’t.

Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy 6, Mega Man X, TMNT. I’d even pay a couple bucks to waste an hour playing Bart’s Nightmare again.

Pokémon is a nonentity.

It’d be a hell of a nostalgia trip to play Rampage, IronSword, Monster Party, Linus Spacehead, Treasure Island Dizzy, Super Robinhood, or Boomerang Kid.

Chrono Cross and FF6 have rereleases out now (don't remember the platforms). The issue with that being you have to play Chrono Cross, which you probably don't actually want to do.

It does have Radical Dreamers though.
