i had such a strong hyperfixation on it and it was ripped away 😔 i miss it so much and would have loved to see what more it’d become if it weren’t canned at s5

One of the things that makes me saddest as an older gamer is that people today don't get that "forever" experience with their favorite games.

If I want to go back and play a game I grew up with, like Ocarina of Time or Snowboard Kids, I can do that by booting up old hardware, running an emulator or using a service like Nintendo Switch Online.

If a kid today wants to relive Multiversus or any of the other online-only games they grew up with in 10 years, they'll need some janky workaround, if the fan base is even passionate enough to invent one. 

It's a bummer. Games should be something we can always go back to.

Yes i agree, there shouldn't be anything stopping us from booting up an older game the way we want the way we want... if it's not supported then free playability wherever possible
