The distinction is, if I stop paying for the Switch Online membership at any point (or forget to renew), all those titles go away. By contrast, my Animal Crossing Gamecube disk still works. :) People have even come up with generic gift codes that can unlock some of the NES games Nintendo never "officially" released for AC, like Legend of Zelda, Punch-Out, and a few others. My entire basement house in the original Animal Crossing is filled with nothing but gyroids and NES games. | ||

Fun fact: Nintendo originally had the idea to make other games available in such a way that you could download them to a GC memory card (or indeed the N64 original) and play them from there. | ||
