Topic: The Nintendo Switch Online Subscription Service Thread

Wondering how long until Nintendo reveals the next bunch of games coming to the N64 lineup. Just hope whenever it is announced there won’t be some annoying multiple month delay before next release.

Yeah I hope they can keep up the amount of games they have and they aren't gonna give up ASAP. But unfortunately I would not be shocked if they were like "well, we did the initial batch, time to put out 1 game every 3 months now".

There is the situation about Japan still having 2 Custom Robo games left from the September 2021 Direct batch. Those are probably the July and August games for Japan then September would have a general Direct announcing what's next for NSO Expansion Pack but what about outside Japan?

I originally thought Rare but they didn't appear in the Xbox Showcases outside of Sea of Thieves or the Partner Showcase at all.

If they put Gameboy games on there, and they let you connect your NSO Gameboy Pokemon with your NSO Pokemon Stadium, that would be awesome. That'd actually be super cool. I doubt they would actually do that, but it would legit be a real NSO selling point for some people.

But at this point I'll legitimately just take "not slowing releases to a crawl". I could say the entire concept of licensed games being off the table is in question after Playstation's new retro lineup thing has Toy Story 2, but I'm willing to ignore that if they just keep up what momentum there is.

This new batch of Mega Drive games came out whilst I was away so I haven't been able to give them a shake until now and, ever since I learned the game lineup, there's been a question burning in my mind: is Mega Man: The Wily Wars a good game to start with in the series? I haven't got the Legacy Collections yet (though plan on doing so at some point in the future) and, when it's basically free when you have NSO, I'm very tempted to play this one. If anyone here with experience with could let me know whether to play it or not, I'd very much appreciate it.

Definitely checking out the other ones like Comix Zone and Zero Wing as well though.

@kkslider5552000 and they could connect to HOME. On the 3DS if you transfer Pokemon from say Red
to Bank then to HOME (both have the mark I think) it has an Gameboy Mark. And maybe if you have save data for Red you get a free Mew for connecting to HOME and for Stadium a Lugia (or something).

Tons of possibilities

I wonder if Nintendo's considered getting some of those rare games that actually came out on NES/SNES long after Nintendo was done with them. Like if Nintendo added Battle Kid or the NES demake of Retro City Rampage.

I keep thinking of good ideas that will sadly probably never happen.

@kkslider5552000 Nintendo barely updates the SNES or NES library as is, and they seem to find obscure average games when they do. Right now, the focus seems to be on the N64 and Mega Drive expansion.

July's game (July 15th) is Pokemon Puzzle League which didn't come to Japan. Meanwhile Japan gets Custom Robo and Custom Robo V2:

ooooh

thanks Nintendo! Please give SE a bag of money to give us Mischief Makers next! (...assuming they have the license for it)

If you have NSO + Expansion, I don't see why not, since you'd get a taste of what Mega Man is like. I do prefer the NES versions of the Mega Man games, though. The Wily Wars versions of MM1-3 are somewhat slower than the NES originals, that's pretty much why. My apologies for the late reply. I just saw your post and I saw that no one responded to you.

Right: now that Pokemon Puzzle League is hitting the N64 service (with back to back Pokemon games now that I think about it), there's something I've got to ask: how the hell do you play Panel de Pon? I've tried it many times on the SNES service but I just can't make it work no matter what I do. Does anyone here have some tips or a good tutorial they could link because I really want to like it (since I adore similar games like Tetris and Puyo Puyo) but that language barrier is rough.

@MarioLover92 Ah, I see. I might hold off on playing it until I play the originals then since the only Mega Man game I've played so far is the demo for 11 on the eShop but it'll definitely be cool to have such a unique version of those 3 games once I do play them for the first time.

@Fizza Sounds good, then. I found a translated version of the Panel de Pon tutorial, too. I hope this helps!

Pokemon Puzzle League should have an in-game tutorial as well, though I haven't played that version that much - we only rented it way back when. If anyone can confirm that, that'd be great.

@Fizza The Wily Wars do have extra content though. 😉

So i hear the N64 games add on for switch online is 50 dollars or something. Does anyone think that's worth it? I'm debating on whether i really want it.

You should actually look into what is currently in the NSO Expansion Pack before deciding.

I would probably not recommend it if all you want is the N64 games though.

Next batch of NES and SNES games:

Kirby's Avalanche
Fighter's History
Daiva Story 6

Japan gets Kirby's Super Star Stacker instead of Kirby's Avalanche.

I'm so excited for Kirby's Avalanche. I recently got heavily addicted to Puyo Puyo between Mean Bean Machine and Super Puyo Puyo 2 so getting the Kirby equivalent on top of that? I am about to put SO many hours into it.

Also, whilst we're on the topic, we have to give special mention to one of the greatest voice lines in video game history.

@Fizza Want to play Kirby's Avalanche sometime on NSO? 🤓

I'm sorry if this is not the place, but could someone point me out in the direction of a thread where people create NSO Expansion Packs Family Plans? I swear I have read posts on these forums trying to arrange it, but it beats me if it was here or article comments or I don't know.
