Rhythm Paradise Groove – Release date confirmed
#NintendoToday

Coming July 2nd!

@Nintoz
Couldn't find it on Nintendo Today. Saw the link but it just took me to a generic list of other stuff on Nintendo Today.

@JaxonH Ah, that's probably a regional thing.

I do think Rhythm Heaven rolls off the tongue a lot better than Paradise.

@Nintoz
Regardless, that's great news it's dropping just before July 4th (USA Independence Day- 4th of July fireworks and all that celebratory fun). Nice to see Nintendo throwing NS1 owners a bone here, too. Especially alongside Tomodachi Life.

I'm a Switch 2 gamer now. Mainly was using my modchipped NS OLED and chipped custom Lite OLED for English translated mods of Trails of Cold Steel 1 and 2, Yokai Watch Remastered, Yokai Watch 4, Dispatch Uncensored (though I quit playing once I saw it had nudity, just not something I like to subject myself to anymore if possible, but it's a great game nonetheless), and playing English translated Fire Emblem games like Genealogy of the Holy War [SNES], Thracia 776 [SNES], Binding Blade [GBA], Heroes of Light and Shadow [DS] as well as outputting Switch 1 games in docked mode on the portable screen, but the recent Boost Mode update solves that issue.

Still, games like Rhythm Heaven, imo, will play best on the custom Switch Lite OLED, pocketable in all its glory using the magnetic flip case. Had a blast with that final WarioWare they dropped on 3DS after Switch released. Rhythm Heaven is giving me similar vibes but for Switch 1 this time instead of 3DS.

Does Splatoon Raiders have a release date too?

For already announced Nintendo games, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave and Splatoon Raiders are the only two without release dates. Splatoon Raiders doesn't even have an announced release year.

New Rhythm Heaven game release date just got announced, so maybe Splatoon Raiders is soon to follow:

I'm getting together what feels like my last order from VGP (still my favorite source for getting non-North American releases "locally"). Unless their Black Friday deals are better than last year's? I'm trying to keep the order under $300, but it's a challenge as there are quite a few imports I've my eye on.

Bruh ... this feels like the most monumental thing I've ever read 🥺

Almost nine years of collecting for this platform that I love.

I figure I should finally get around to playing more of these games.

this might be a dumb question but I'm asking anyway.

for the old Pokemon FireRed and leafgreen games from the eshop, online not required for both games if youre doing local coop multiplayer?

@seinfeldfanatic by multiplayer I think you mean the link room trading and battling wirelessly with another player who has their own Switch 1 or 2? Online is not required for wireless communication.

Something I realized a while ago is that I'm probably at the end of me downloading more Switch 1 games. I still have to get the DLC for Xenoblade 3 when I get around to it, and a couple of other games I think, and anything else would lead to me deleting something, which I just don't want to do. Is it a big deal if I delete and never get around to Saints Row IV when I bought it for super cheap? Not especially, no. Still don't want to do it.

That's fine I guess, when Switch 2 replaces Switch 1 as my main console it'll probably be a decade of me slowly going through that backlog. (maybe more if I'm as slow as I've been playing 3DS games the past decade)

yeah, and?
