@GameOtaku I'm using it for later.

@Snatcher
Sounds good to me.

aged like milk? i've never heard that expression

@MajinSoul Awesome, thank you for the confirmation. I appreciate it.

With the number of N64 titles datamined and listed alphabetically, I thought I'd list them and provide my guesses for the missing titles. I have commented where the titles are either released, confirmed, highly likely (1st party or very popular amongst other options) and just a pure guess. Let me know if you think I may have gotten any wrong or if there are other likely candidates

1. Title Comment
   1 Banjo Kazooie Confirmed
   2 Banjo Tooie Highly Likely
   3 Blast Corp
   4 Cruis'n' USA/Conkers Bad Fur Day Likely Cruis'n'
   5 Diddy Kong Racing
   6 Donkey Kong 64 Highly Likely
   7 Dr Mario 64 Released
   8 Excitbike 64 Highly Likely
   9 F-Zero X Confirmed
   10 Goldeneye/Jet Force Gemini Likely JFG
   11 Kirby 64 Confirmed

   28 Ridge Racer 64
   29 Sin & Punishment Released
   30 Star Fox 64 Released
   31 Super Mario 64 Released
   32 Super Smash Brothers Highly Likely
   33 Waverace 64 Highly Likely
   34 Winback Released
   35 WWF No Mercy Likely Wrestling game
   36 Yoshi Story Released
   37 Zelda MM Confirmed
   38 Zelda OOT Released

Treasure has said more games are coming to the service, so I'd class Mischief Makers as Highly Likely and probably add Bangai-O as well!

I have 13 months of an individual sub left and to upgrade to expansion, Nintendo wants £19.

I also have another code for 12 months individual. If I add this to my account, will it effectively reduce the upgrade to expansion amount from £19 to around £4?

Thanks

So...

A new update to Super Mario All Stars now allows that version of Super Mario 64 to be played with the N64 controller.

That's really awesome! Definitely the version I'd prefer to play, since it's an option with higher res textures, rumble, etc.

@JaxonH Lovely news. Just need to get hold of those controllers...

So speaking of games from upgraded NSO plan, I managed to beat M.U.S.H.A., a solid scroll shooter, which AFAIK was never released on Switch before either as part of Sega collections or as stand-alone game.

On N64 I replayed S&P one more time just to give it a go on the Switch.
I'd say playing it in handheld mode is the worst way to do it, I'd strongly recommend at least use a Pro controller.
Also I didn't remember the game being so hard on later levels (probably starting with the warship level), some of those stages took me several continue credits just to drag myself to the end of it. And 3-2 level with a side-scrolling perspective is one of the hardest among them.
What I never noticed before while playing it on Wii U is that beating the game on Normal unlocks Hard mode and a gallery with in-game music, but it's not all of it, I suppose beating it on Hard unlock more bonuses. I wonder what that is.

Aside from that I'm not really interested in the rest of current library. So I'll wait for more additions, hopefully it won't take more than 1-2 months for update.

I hope everyone with NSOExp has played through Ristar by this point

2nded. Ristar is a top tier platformer of the era.

@GameOtaku I have never seen a n64 vc game on sale. Not even during the Wii era.

@faint
Not even say on a MAR10 day sale? I can’t speak for Wii or WiiU but they did happen on many VC titles on 3ds. So it’s fair to say the games did go on sale on Wiiu and by extension wii.

Especially considering aged milk is cheese?

@GameOtaku If you read what I wrote you’ll see it states “N64” games. No, not once did they ever go on sale.

@faint
NES, SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy Color and Game Gear games went on sale frequently so N64 had to be no exception. However the point still stands if you buy only the games you want you’d come out ahead on vc over nso rentals.

@GameOtaku May be wrong but I think only 3DS VC got discounts as part of sales. Wii VC got nothing and Wii U VC had the upgrade discount if you owned the game on Wii VC. N64 was only on Wii VC and Wii U VC.

@DarthNocturnal
Going by their track record so far Gameboy, GBC and Advance games will be another tier for $90.

I just don’t see the value in the online service or rentals. I much prefer to pick and choose what I play for as long as I want without restrictions.

@DarthNocturnal I could see gameboy going in the original tier and gameboy advance/master system going to the premium tier.
