Topic: The Nintendo Switch Online Subscription Service Thread

@StarPoint Yeah, by the time Nintendo added the Splatoon 2 DLC to the expansion pack, I already beat it. Last year, in fact. I might upgrade to the expansion pack if they add GBA games, too - GameCube games would be awesome for sure...though that's just wishful thinking at this point. I would like to see Mario Party 1, 2, and 3 come to N64 online, as well.

@Ninfan That would be cool to see, but I kinda doubt it. When it comes to Sega's legacy games, they seem to only want to rerelease their Mega Drive games and not much else.

@Fizza what master system games would be good ?

@skywake
I just beat the Octo Expansion today.

So, I used to feel similarly about the single player. But after starting a new save file recently and re-playing the standard Octo Canyon campaign, I really came to appreciate it. Much more than the first time I beat it. I loved the puzzles in the Hub worlds and finding the scroll and sardine thing, and in each level.

I'd never got past the first few levels of Octo Expansion, but this time I played to completion. At first I wasn't enjoying it much. I thought Octo Canyon was much better. But the further I progressed, the better it got, and by the time I finished it my opinion had done a 180. It has higher highs and lower lows than Octo Canyon, but it's just as good imo.

Of course, Turf Wars and Salmon Run are crack in a pipe, and will always be the go-to modes for me. Even so, I thoroughly enjoyed both the Octo Canyon campaign and Octo Expansion.

Wonder will NSO get the light gun games from nes and snes to use with joycons.

@Ninfan I wouldn't know since that generation completely skipped me by but I would love to get acquainted with it the same way I have with every other NSO app.

@Ninfan
They did put some of those games on the Wii U VC so it's entirely possible. They put a crosshair cursor on the screen to act as a visual to show where on the screen you were pointing. Shouldn't be too hard to do and I think they'd get a bit of interest if they did it

While they're at it, would be nice to give Mario Paint a similar treatment. I'm not too familiar with the games compatible with the SNES Mouse to say whether there'd be much value beyond Mario Paint but. I mean there's stuff like Doom but I have no idea why you'd want to play the SNES port of Doom on the SNES NSO app when Doom exists on the eShop as a better port already

@Cunir you can only make new profile icons with the elements you buy with points - they can't be used with existing icons unfortunately.

Given Sony announced that retro titles in the PS Plus premium subscription will be available to purchase separately and even free to those who previously purchased them, is there a decent chance Nintendo may do something similar for the retro games under NSO basic and expansion pak?

Has the maintenance for the NES/SNES apps begun yet? What games do you guys think or hope will be added?

@TowaHerschel7 If anything Mega Man gets added (1, 2, X, etc.), I will lose it. The original Castlevania and Tetris would be great additions as well. Yes I am still holding on to hope from that leak we got a while back, how could you tell?

I'm hoping we'll get Lufia 2 (SNES) or Harvest Moon (SNES) since Natsume owns those and the latter was already released in Japan recently. As for NES games, I'd like to see Star Tropics 2, and anything else decent really.

SM Rpg, chrono trigger, FF would be a welcome addition.

@NintendoByNature I'm not counting on anything FF or Chrono Trigger to shadow drop. Those would almost certainly be announced by Square and or Nintendo beforehand given how big of releases those would be. SMRPG is possible though!

@TowaHerschel7 I'm not expecting any of them honestly, just would be nice lol.

@TowaHerschel7 I think Japan will get Fire Emblem Thracia 776 and the worldwide releases will be really obscure.

@Grumblevolcano In other words grass is green.

@Grumblevolcano If it is obscure I hope it'll have Lufia 2 or Terranigma as those are quite obscure, but REALLY good JRPG's which the service is sorely lacking games for the genre. 😉

• Congo's Caper (SNES)
• Rival Turf! (SNES)
• Pinball (NES)

Turns out we're getting another NES 1st party game, Urban Champion probably isn't far off. Does make me wonder if we'll get NES Remix Pack once all the individual games are added to NSO.

So is there a chance of getting some older license snes games to the system? Like the star wars triliogy, yoda stories, x-men, spider-man games? I know disney re-released some of their old animated movie games so feels like it might be possible.
I'm not sure if nintendo has actually mentioned licensed titles before.

no

...

I mean, there's always a chance, the same way there's a chance I'll win the lottery.
