Well, there goes the market value of my launch edition of Fire Emblem Path of Radiance (look it up, it's no joke).

Honestly, given Nintendo's scorched earth approach to third party emulation I'm not inclined to give them extra money on top of their base subscription for this. Double that for the choice of making visual improvements to backwards compatible games a paid upgrade.

Maybe I can actually start buying GameCube games for reasonable prices soon.

It’s a pipe dream, but I can cling to hope.

Hey, if extremely good, hassle-free emulation didn't do it I wouldn't hold my breath, but I guess more options can only help.

ngl tbh I think that was my favorite FE game, so I'm glad if they make it easier for people to play

Oh, I'm super onboard with it. I don't collect old games for speculative purposes. Hell, I didn't collect that one at all, I just bought it when it came out.
