In light of Mother 3 coming to NSO (in Japan at least), I've been going through some of Shigesato Itoi's recent tweets to see what he has to say on the matter and this one in particular immediately caught my attention: Translation:
QUOTED TWEET: ''I hope there will be an English version someday 🙏🥲''
ITOI: ''talk to Nintendo about [getting Mother 3 localized], not me''
Honestly NSO made it clear years ago that Mother 3 wasn't coming out until it came out in Japan, and that had no chance of happening until GBA was added, so I've not expected there to be any future for Mother 3 being localized until today.
And by this point its been so long that until it happens, I don't care. It should happen, Mother 3 having no official release outside of Japan despite being a 17 year old game is deeply unfair, but "2006 GBA game" and "end of 2015 Wii U re-release" was never gonna become a big hit here either way so I kinda get it. I hate it but I get it. As long as Nintendo doesn't do the dumbest thing ever (not carry over all of NSO to the next system), it'll happen someday.
Updates like these are made for me specifically and I'm here for it. I honestly never even thought of these games for NSO, especially Extreme G which I just assumed would either die in obscurity or be re-released in a collection.
One step closer to all mainline Mario games on Switch. Just need 3D Land, Galaxy 2 and 3 New Super games (not counting Mario Maker 1, but we have the Mario Maker sub-series on Switch so close enough.).
Happy for this as well. Never had a GB growing up, though borrowed one occasionally, but not for Mario. Played 6 Golden Coins for the first time on NSO and thought it was interesting. Jazzed to try Super Mario Land(1).
Hurrah! I've been waiting for this one.

Now I'm curious about what is still missing from Nintendo's major franchises. Of the top of my head, I can only mention:
-Metroid: Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Prime 2 + 3, Other M, and Hunters (and for completion's sake, Pinball and Federation Force).
-Star Fox: Adventures, Assault, Command and Zero (not counting the 3DS remake of 64).
-Kid Icarus: of Myths and Monsters, Uprising.
@BrazillianCara Lots of Zelda missing, lots of Kirby missing, lots of Pokemon missing (none on NSO). In terms of the really big Nintendo franchises, mainline Mario is probably the closest to being complete on Switch although there are some smaller franchises like Pikmin which are also close to complete. I wouldn't be surprised if we get another of the 5 missing Mario games soon, conceivably more than 1 if they are in a collection such as 3D all stars 2 or a New Super collection.
The original Pokemon games (Red & Blue) would surely spark a huge level of interest in this service.... and likely on-board a lot of new subscribers I think.
I honestly don't understand why Nintendo haven't made these more accessible?

I had never played it either. I just beat it a second ago! Super short and easy game, but pretty adorable. It was nice to play the game which first had super balls. My only question — why do Koopas explode? 😆
@FishyS It’s got a lot of charm! It was short, although i cheesed a lot of it by flying. I do recall having a bit of trouble near the end, but other than that it was quite easy. Congratulations!
@Diogmites There is flying? o.o Apparently I missed something. I mean ... there is the one airplane level. But the only power-up I ever saw was super ball. Are we talking about the same game or are you talking about 2? 🤔
@FishyS I’m taking about 2 yeah, i haven’t played the first one yet. Sorry lol..
Edit- Excuse- it’s late and i don’t have my glasses on and am playing Eschatos, an intense shmup , so i am a bit distracted!
@FishyS That’s short! I am currently engaged with Eschatos, and should be asleep but for its addicting gameplay. I’ll attempt to blast through Super Mario Land soon enough, perhaps tomorrow, if i find time. My congratulations still stands!
Glad to see Mario Land 1 finally arrive so that people will stop asking where the hell it is under every NSO update XD
In all seriousness though, this lineup's pretty alright all things considered. I like the 'early Game Boy launch window' theming all three games have going on and, regardless of their overall quality, I've always wanted to see how games like Mario Land 1 and Alleyway fared so this is perfect for the gaming historian in me.
putting For Whom The Frog Bell Tolls in the Japanese lineup is immensely cruel though XD

Please ask for permission before using my FC!
@FishyS Played some more SML 1 over lunch and i’m on 4-1. It hands out a lot of lives. Which is good because i think i’ve died 6 times or so. I find it not so easy lol and it will probably take me over an hour total, though not sure. Is this Daisy’s 1st appearance? I liked the shooty sub part.. that’s about it.
I don’t like riding the boulders and they keep making me do it lol
