So I just did some looking up of NSO Mega Drive/Genesis games and according to Wikipedia, there hasn’t been a single game added to that library since June 2023. Has Nintendo given up on that platform?

I would like to point out that we are close to having double the N64 games on NSO that Virtual Console ever had on Wii
Interesting. Going down the list, these Wii VC N64 games aren't yet on NSO:
Bomberman Hero
Crus'n USA
Ogre Battle 64
Super Smash Bros
And these NSO titles weren't on the Wii VC:
Banjo Kazooie
Banjo Tooie
Blast Corps
Dr Mario 64
Excitebike 64
Extreme-G
Goldeneye 007
Harvest Moon 64
Iggy's Reckin' Balls
Jet Force Gemeni
Perfect Dark
Pilotwings 64
Pokemon Stadium
Pokemon Stadium 2
Shadow Man
Turok
Turok 2
Winback
...... it's pretty crazy when you actually look through the list like this
Yeah, Wii Virtual Console was great in a lot of ways, especially for the time, but when you get to N64 none of that 3rd party support is there for it. I assume because N64 was both less popular and tougher to emulate.
Should also point out the two Wii U N64 VC games still not on NSO, Bomberman 64 and DK 64.
I was editing some footage and realized they recently changed the borders of the NSO apps, at least in the GBC one. The borders around the gameplay are ever so slightly darker now.
Edit: actually compared to previous footage, the entire thing seems to have brighter colors and better contrast?
I don’t think I’ve changed any settings in my setup that would affect this (or like changed anything at all)… so it must be the app itself… right…?
@Don I think by the 22nd, considering both DKC and DK64 have big anniversaries very soon (DKC November 18th, DK64 November 22nd) it feels like November's NSO releases will be DK focused.

DK 64 will be an excellent choice for NSO. Will definitely play it again although I did finish the game previously on the Wii U virtual console. After DK 64 I think the only other big Rareware N64 titles missing from NSO are Diddy Kong Racing and Conker’s Bad Fur Day.
@Spider-Kev I don't know what "B1G1F" is. If EU has gotten a sale that NA doesn't have, 99% of the time EU and NA get he same sales, they are just staggered. Like EU gets a particular sale this week, and in the next week or so, it comes to NA. So, I would just keep an eye out.
