After being introduced in 2018, the general UI experience of playing retro games on Nintendo Classics (formerly known as Nintendo Switch Online), is still terrible. With the Nintendo Switch 2, I expected an overhaul of the menu to make finding the retro games easier, but that's not the case. While NSO has some nice quality-of-life features, it lacks the charm of the Virtual Console on the Wii and Wii U. Watch as I tear apart the menus on the Nintendo Classics apps, including the infamous Microwave borders!
