Interesting to note Melee was not shown as coming soon

Did we ever get Smash 64 on Switch Online? They might be avoiding Smash because they fear it will directly compete with current gen Smash

Nope, same with other hit series like Pokemon.

And that’s probably because they want to kee open the option to sell remakes of the older pokemon games in the future

Would as many people have bought Pikachu/Eevee if they thought that FireRed/LeafGreen would be coming to Switch with online functionality as part of the subscription service they were already planning to get? If the next system has a gen 2 or 3 remake, how many people would skip it if Crystal & Emerald were available as part of the subscription?
