Topic: The Nintendo Switch Online Subscription Service Thread

@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:

yay, I was wondering when there would be a Wonder maximus cup.

Decided to beat Nintendo Life to this lol why was this announced right now? Just slip it under the Game Awards, otherwise people might think we can release N64 games in a timely manner!

Omigosh HM64! So glad to see it

1080 HAS ARRIVED AT LAST THANK THE LORD

I would've been perfectly content with just 1080 as it's easily been my most anticipated release of the service sinc the Mario Party titles dropped a while back, but having both Harvest Moon AND Jet Force Gemini alongside it just sweetens the deal even more. Gonna be giving them a go ASAP!

I'm finding 1080 so much harder on Switch with the controller etc. On 64 I've long been pretty good at the game. On Switch I'm lucky if I can string together more than two spins in a row.

It's a shame because I was pumped when I heard 1080 had landed on Switch.

Well that's a bad sign since I've never been even remotely good at 1080 on N64 or otherwise.

Not even the sequel on Gamecube.

Man, I've been playing Pokémon Trading Card Game from GB/GBC. I got hooked! What a fun game! The effects from the battles are so nice. I love playing with the classic feel filter on. So nostalgic
I wish we could have more pokemon games from the past

I played a couple of hours of N64 NSO online last week with a friend who lives a couple of states away, I was shocked it worked so consistency. For the record, this is a bad sign for the reputation of Nintendo's online when playing N64 games online with one person on the same side of the country working was a pleasant surprise. But it did work well, so I was happy about that.

For some reason I keep going back to Mario Party 1 single player btw. We didn't play that one because making someone play Mario Party 1 over most of these games would be cruel. It is one of the N64 games that has actually aged poorly, especially with 2 and 3 right there. Yet despite that, I find myself wanting to do as much as I can with the game (though if I play all the boards once and do the minigame island, I'm just gonna unlock anything else the cheapest way possible (which involves mostly not even playing the game)).

I also go back to Mario Tennis on occasion but that makes sense because Mario Tennis is awesome. I will not try to get everything in that game though since the requirements to do so are absurd.
