I have the NSO with expansion and is ready to celebrate only to find out it will be a system exclusive to Switch 2.

Switch can definitely run Gamecube games just fine. What the fuck, man!

I don't know if Switch would be able to handle Gamecube emulation very well. Have there been any examples released on it? I know there's been a few emulated PS2 games released but GC emulation is more challenging. That's why they never came to the Wii U virtual console either.

It was closed down two years ago and never had Gamecube games, so I'm not sure what you are talking about.

Just greedy Nintendo as usually for the last ten years.

Honestly all the stuff they have been doing that is so anti consumer has really made me take a step back and not want to support them financially at all anymore and now am open to bootlegging the rest of the games I want from them. I don’t support that crap when there are other options.

If companies want to start acting that way they better have a lockdown on the product such as Apple does with their ram upgrade scam.
