2016 had the NES Classic, 2017 had the SNES Classic, and 2018 has the PlayStation Classic, so a Nintendo 64 Classic can not be too far away, right? Do not count on it. In an interview with KotakuNintendo of America CEO Reggie Son-Aime says that while he "would not ever rule something out … what I can tell you is certainly that's not in our planning horizon."
"We were clear when we did the first two classic series that, for us, were limited in their capabilities that were a way for us to have a business to bridge the world of hardware and software." says Son-Beloved. "That was the first strategic reason we launched the NES Classic system."
"So while consumers may have been anticipating something, we see these as limited-time opportunities. We have also been very much in touch with the world of service. "
Dreams of reliving the mid-to-late-90s console wars all over again will have to wait, then. The lack of an N64 Classic would be easier to swallow if you could simply play Ocarina of Time we have Switch through Nintendo's online subscription. The trouble with that approach, of course, is that Nintendo has been very slow to roll out its offerings.
Currently subscribers to the Switch is online, and Nintendo is not selling downloadable games through its usual Virtual Console platform. Aim Son-Aimed hints that more will be on the way. "We are looking to the future," he says, "our subscription service, NSO, Nintendo Switch Online is going to be the place where you can play our classic content," adding "We'll see what comes next" when pressed on this will go beyond the NES.
