Say goodbye to a “regular schedule” of emulated classics on Switch arstechnica.com

Fans of classic Nintendo re-releases got some good news this week, as Nintendo finally released emulated versions of 20 Super NES games as part of its $20-per-year Switch Online service.
Since launching with 20 NES titles last September, the Switch's collection of playable classics has expanded by two or three games each month, to the point where it now includes 46 distinct NES titles .
In a statement to Business Insider, a Nintendo representative confirmed that "More NES games will be added in the future, but those releases will not adhere to a regular schedule."
That situation was a bit different, as Virtual Console games could be purchased individually rather than rented en masse via subscription.
But if Nintendo lays down another surprise release of 20 Nintendo 64 games in the next few months, all is forgiven.
