RE: Nintendo Switch | NSO Expansion Pack Pricing - ShiraNoMai - Nov 14th, 2021
Until they fix it, I won't be upgrading my sub to that tier. Besides, I still own all these games and they still function pretty well on my existing N64. The only added benefit this brings is the ability to play online, but they recently made a Mario Party for Switch that includes most of the old maps and mini games so why not just use that instead? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pokémon Stadium Comes to NSO on April 12
Subscribers to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service will be able to play N64's Pokémon Stadium when it joins the service on April 12:
One notable difference is that unlike the original game, you can not transfer Pokémon from Game Boy titles in this version. What's interesting about this though is that currently, there are no Pokémon games included in the lineup of Game Boy NSO titles, and the only one confirmed to be coming to the service at a future point is the Pokémon Trading Card Game. However, that game was not one that could be used to transfer Pokémon into Stadium, so is Nintendo adding this disclaimer because Red, Blue, or Yellow might be coming to the Game Boy NSO library in the future?

It's inevitable. I think they're just waiting for the right time between releases of mainline titles to edge that out.
This distinction, though, is because the original Stadium titles allowed transfer like this, and I'm sure fans questioned if it was possible again.

I wonder if anyone is actually looking forward to playing Pokemon Stadium. The main draw of the game back in ye olden days was the fact that it allowed you to play Red/Blue/Yellow on your TV, which back then was a mindblowing revolution for us. The game itself is pretty mediocre and isn't really anything to be excited about.

Although now that I think about it, it would've been a great opportunity to allow transferring Pokémon from the Let's Go titles into this game since those feature only the OG 151 and people would already have save data for those games, whereas even if RBY was on the NSO GB library it would still require everyone playing those games before Stadium to bring anything in.
@Dragon Lord: Good point. Besides nostalgia I can't see much reason for people to be as interested in this now that we have had 3D mainline games on Switch for years at this point. I suspect it would've had a bigger impact had Nintendo chosen to offer it back on Wii as a classic title since we still only had handheld entries really back then.
