Random but neat I guess.

I should have mentioned this when I posted, Balloon Kid is a fun little game. As mentioned before I have it on 3DS, and I enjoyed it. It's worth trying.

Little fun fact, Balloon Kid was ported to the Famicom in Japan as a Hello Kitty game. Just some trivia about the game.

The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!

Balloon Kid is one of the first Let's Plays I ever watched, back in 2008. It always seemed really charming, helps that I've always been a fan of Balloon Fight.

Is interesting how the first Hello Kitty game is a Balloon Fight game.

I bought Balloon Kid for the 3DS many years ago, and it became one of my favorite Game Boy games. I've finished it several times, I recommend it to everyone.
Interestingly, I prefer playing my Game Boy/Game Boy Color games on the 3DS, and only use the NSO for games I don't own.

I think we can expect Nintendo to put this Bomberman game on NSO, since I don't think Nintendo would be fine with Konami having Wario in a collection on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X.

so this probably would've been shown off sooner, but i stalled pretty heavily and did over half of this within the past 2 hours.

behold, the nso game list!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CqTakTKcEfLvuvcCHtt_z...

this spreadsheet has the list of all current nso games combined, as well as markers designating games with sp releases, region exclusivity, as well as other small notes.

i made this, feeling that the wikipedia page for nintendo classics separating each console made it harder to do goofy things like find random patterns in release timings, or, slightly more practically, provide a full timeline of every game drop.

if i made any mistakes, or if you have suggestions for extra data or changes, please let me know! a large majority of this was written over several nights past midnight, so sleepiness might've screwed up some things slightly. <3

so as long as my counting is correct, there are 364 games currently avaliable on nintendo classics. it would've been 365 if super soccer was still avaliable.

edit: or, well, i guess it will be 364 soon, i counted the virtual boy games as if they're out already.

@squiddu-real ah neat! I’ve had my own personal list keeping track of how many games are added and when. Although I’ve had separate lists of Japan and other regions’ numbers so I never did combine the full total. (I’ll try to go through it later though)
My current count for the games available for the regions are 328 for worldwide, 318 for Japan. (Plus 24 SP worldwide games and 27 for Japan)
(Before the 7 Virtual Boy games)

squiddu-real

okay, well, actual count is 362. i forgot i had two games (donkey kong land iii and balloon kid) duplicated because they have very strange exclusivity: the game boy version is still only avaliable in na/pal regions, while the game boy color version is only avaliable in japan.

i cannot tell you how strong my confusion was two nights ago when i figured that out.

It's funny when it becomes apparent Nintendo has decided a remake will never sell that many more copies. It happened with Mystery Dungeon and now this.

Maybe the Advance Wars remakes have quietly sold more over the past couple of years, since those came out earlier and are still not on NSO. Way too optimistic, probably.

Edit: well that didn’t happen. Thought it was a sign since it happened with PoR, but I guess it will probably be in the latter half of the month.

Today’s Nintendo Power cover on Nintendo Today features Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. In January, Path of Radiance was on the cover the same day it was added so I think it is likely that Pokémon XD will be added today as well. (Or early tomorrow morning in Europe)

They also announced Mario Sunshine for NSO even though the game was already in a Switch collection.

@yokokazuo I think considering Pokemon tends to have an August NSO release, the schedule might be 1 around every 2.5 months this year. For example:

  • January 9th - Path of Radiance
  • March 20th - Pokemon XD
  • June 5th - Mario Sunshine
  • August 14th - Pokemon Colosseum
  • October 30th - A game that fits Halloween like Eternal Darkness or RE4

To be fair, 3D All Stars is such a weird example that I don't think I'd use it as proof for nearly anything Nintendo does one way or the other.

They don’t sell that collection anymore so it’s not like they’re competing against themselves on that one.

If anything it’s more like “you missed out on 3D All-Stars? Oh boy do have a deal for you 🤭”

As for the Wars series, tbh they probably just want to distance themselves from it right now. Something bad happens whenever they try to do anything with it anyway.

Just buy the Galaxy double pack and subscribe permanently to NSO expansion pack, such a great deal. 😲
