Topic: The Nintendo Switch Online Subscription Service Thread

@Nintoz I'm not seeing anything, way too blurry.

I would have much rather gotten Nightdives Forsaken remaster, but since they are sadly never going to put that on the Switch, I'll gladly take this.

Please, sir. May I have some more games?

If Metroid Prime 2 doesn’t get a remaster, I hope they will at least put it on NSO. If they do, I wonder if they will put the first Metroid Prime game on it as well since it will conflict with selling the remastered version on the Switch.

Mario Paint on nso and it works with Switch 2 mouse mode (or a usb mouse on Switch 1).

Whaaaaaaat?! Mario Paint?!

@ShieldHero @FishyS Not only that, I'm actually surprised my PC's mouse works with my Switch.

Chibi Robo!!! I've always wanted to play this one!

The M rated N64 app gets Forsaken 64 on September 4th.

I went and checked and there are now exactly double the amount of N64 games on NSO than there were on Wii Virtual Console.*

*Though that includes the Japan only Custom Robo games

@Croctopus Give it a chance. It's a good game, though inferior to the game it copied(Descent).

I also noticed at the end of the trailer it copyrighted to Nightdive which means they own the rights to it now. So instead of porting over their superior remaster, they instead just threw the N64 rom at Nintendo to dump on NSO. I love Nightdive, but this was really lame and lazy.

Just play through Banjo Kazooie levels 5 times in a row, you'll have the same experience :V

I enjoyed the PC version. There were/are so few 6DOF games. Their difficulty is so immediate and visceral. Souls-likes cannot compare to the likes of.

Anywho. I hope the floating rumors pan out true. And, in addition, pray for Wipeout 64 to hit the NSO service. G'night!

Um... I tried doing the button mapping on the GBA app, and it looks like it won't let me map anything to the ZL and ZR buttons. Am I missing something here? If it helps anybody to know, I've been playing Wario Land 4. Really want to map the GBA's L and R buttons to ZL and ZR since it's more comfortable. I'm honestly pretty upset about that...

Oy, I am struggling trying to play Forsaken with a pro controller. Anyone got any solutions besides for buying an N64 controller?

@Croctopus the boot up screen trick also works on S1

Virtual Boy coming back years after the 3DS is so funny. Most I reacted to the Direct, for better or worse.

I mean if Mario Party 1 can come back, sure why not...

@kkslider5552000 the fun part is the $100 fake virtual boy they sell to go along with it

realizing they found a new use for cardboard takes the cake for me

True vintage cardboard

I have questions about the quality of the accessories and the pricing. And as a display piece it looks pretty decent although, again, not worth the price I would say. I'd certainly want to see some actual reviews of it before I even considered getting the full version and even then I'm probably not interested. Personally at least, I'm not super keen on that kind of thing. If I wanted to spend that much on a display I'd buy some LEGO

But also you need some kind of construction for this to work. Assuming it's possible to jerry-rig, paper-craft or 3D print something I think a pre-made option is fine. I think it makes sense to sell an "authentic" version of it for the people who are willing to pay for it, and for those who don't they do have a non-display tier version which.... is still a bit pricy it's not tooo bad. I'll probably see what the community comes up with, if not I'll probably grab the cardboard one

But, just generally, Virtual Boy on NSO is kinda neat. This is kinda the point of the classics on NSO isn't it? Giving you access to games from the vault you otherwise wouldn't have been able to experience. And, might I add, I would imagine that playing VB through a Switch OLED screen is going to be quite a bit better than what the VB had. A single row of red LEDs pointing at a mirror rotating at 50Hz

Why this was never on 3DS VC I'll never know but the fact that it's here now? It's kinda nice. And certainly more accessible than, what does an original VB go for? ..... $700AU or so.... ... yep..
