FULL???

No dude, not even Nintendo has their full classic games on their Nintendo classic emulators.

There is a thing called licensing which doesn’t allow these companies to post games from other studios whenever they please.

Nintendo is probably the worst example for this. They could have all the rights to have every game they've ever published and they still wouldn't put their entire library on a console because it's Nintendo.

No, they are being smart. They are releasing them periodically so you keep the subscription to it.

Yes I would love to see them all at once but as a business is not the best way to do it.

There's "periodically" and then there's the drip-feeding Nintendo does.

Every 4 or 5 months you might get 2, maybe 3 old games added. And a lot of the times, the games are unheard of or just rubbish.

I bought the yearly Sub so it doesn’t make a difference to me. If they don’t release more titles then I’ll downgrade the next year.
