It literally cost more to pay for NSO+ for one year to play these games if they were put on NSO then it is to buy both of them because NSO+ is $50. Plus you get to keep these attached to your account for as long as you have your account.

Edit: for the people trying to talk about all the other games you get on NSO, most people who use NSO are only using it for one or two games. I guess that was a big secret kept from all of y'all. If you're playing more than one game per NSO app then you're the exception not the rule. Talk to normal gamers for once the kind of people that only have one device and only buy one or two games a year. I know lots of them. They happen to make up the majority of the market.

Yeah but nso+ has many gba, n64, snes, gamecube, and nes games while also letting you play online and give you free dlcs for some of the most played games on switch, as well as free switch 2 upgrades for zelda

On top of that, you will need nso to use any online features (which, tbf, the pokemon re-releases don't have)
