Amongst those fans is the Youtuber Video Game Story Time. He believes that for one, these games are not enough. Second, the fans would be better off if Nintendo instead takes to release these games in cartridges. Hiding classic games behind a paywall means there would not be many other ways to play them officially.

And let us be fair, having a premium subscription in order to play classic games seems like a tall order for some. Fans do not want all the games available in these collections, hence they would find themselves spending more than they are willing to pay to replay their favorite classic titles.

Nintendo releasing game carts would give gamers an option to buy the games they want, and even help preserve Nintendo’s library for a little longer. Currently, if a fan wants to buy a Game boy or Game boy advance, or even NES cartridge online, they would have to shed a good amount of money for it.
It’s a very common consensus that instead of locking these games behind Nintendo Switch Online subscription, Nintendo should rather sell them separately. Be it through Eshop or physical cartridges, either way would be acceptable.

Nintendo can also go the way of Metroid Prime Remastered or The Legend of Zelda Link’s Awakening and just remake or remaster those games for Nintendo Switch. This would make those games more enticing to purchase.
What do you think? Do you want Nintendo to make cartridges again?
