Topic: The Nintendo Switch Online Subscription Service Thread

@kkslider5552000 is it still the same one from before? I’ve been using the same addresses I had from last year.

Anyway basically all it said was that it’s still the same amount of money as last year, and that the subscription renews on the first of November.

@Eel yes it is but I didn't get any e-mail

@kkslider5552000 I sent a test email a while ago. Did you get that one? Perhaps it’s in spam?

I’m traveling at the moment so my connection is spotty.

@Eel It actually was. That's stupid, why would it be in spam? What decided that?

At least I know it went through now

@kkslider5552000 guess that’s what happens when one writes emails asking for money.

New Game Boy, NES, and Famicom Disk System games for NSO. Castlevania Legends, Devil World, and The Mysterious Murasame Castle.

Oh, those are a bigger deal than usual (at varying degrees).

That's a pretty decent lineup of games, honestly. Been wanting to give The Mysterious Murasame Castle a shot, I missed out on it on the 3DS.

@BrazillianCara @MarioLover92 Honestly, I'm a bit surprised. I can see why it's a bit of a big deal too. Devil World was never released to the US due to Nintendo of America having guidelines on religious content in their games.

Read up a bit on it online, and even gave the game a try. Reminds me of Pac-Man, except the map moves, you can be crushed by the map, you can attack your enemies, and to collect the dots you needed to have a cross (the religious content).

I wish NSO had PDFs of manuals. I know a Japanese manual wouldn't be much help (unless you know Japanese), maybe the PAL manual might explain certain mechanics and story to what's going on... yes, I remember manuals were the source of story back in the early days of gaming.

@kkslider5552000 thank you! I’ve received your part.

By the way a spot is now open in case you know someone else trustworthy who might want to join.

Also is it just me or did several posts disappear here.

Time's running out for the final 2 N64 games to be released in 2023 meanwhile GBA hasn't gotten a game since September. Honestly makes it seem like they'd be releasing Harvest Moon 64 and 1080 Snowboarding at the same time.

November's NSO game is Jet Force Gemini (Japan is also getting Goldeneye as it didn't in January):

EDIT: Turns out the rest of the world is getting it in December.

Gosh, I didn't expect this game to get announced for NSO. It's a nice announcement, though. I've tried out Jet Force Gemini before... but that was years ago. I rented it once for the N64 when I was a kid.

Never in a million YEARS did I anticipate Jet Force Gemini coming back on....any Nintendo console, but there's a first time for everything I suppose XD

This instantly makes N64 NSO an infinitely more exciting proposition in my eyes as, now that we're both moving away from the 2022 roadmap AND getting more 3rd-party titles on the service, it opens up the door for a ton of N64 classics that I'd completely written off before due to being 3rd-party (Goemon, Mischief Makers, hell: even Buck Bumble has a chance now XD). Combine that with JFG just being a good game in it's own right and I'm incredibly excited for whenever it releases in December!

also, as an interesting addendum, Japan is getting a new version of the N64 NSO app specifically for games rated 18+ over there (with Goldeneye and JFG being the first additions to it).

Blast Corps / Silicon Valley / Body Harvest would be my top 3 wishlist

For me its Mischief Makers. That's the dream game, at least for games I've played. That and Rayman 2 and Toy Story 2, which are the best games I never got far into. Normally I'd doubt a Disney game would be on this but AFAIK its on PSN so its not impossible.

Though N64 has a small enough library that nearly any game on it is a neat surprise. (especially since we're running out of games that were also on VC)

Hey @Fizza, do you wanna play Mario Party 3 online with me and @ChameleonBros? We're thinking of playing it on either Saturday or Sunday at 7 PM EDT.

@MarioLover92 I'd absolutely love to but I unfortunately have an unusually busy weekend this week between work all day tomorrow, school studies across both days and preparation for a roadtrip down the country during the middle of next week. Massively appreciate the offer though and I'd say I'll most likely be available next week though depending on how things pan out if that works out for you!

@Fizza OK, that's fine. Anytime, best of luck on everything going on for you! Feel free to ask me and I'll see if I can make it on the middle of next week.

So there's 2 Tetris 99 events happening:
