Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Banjo-Tooie

Cool to see this one return. I played the original Banjo Kazooie on NSO and it was a great time! I hope we get more Rare games in the near future (especially Donkey Kong 64 and Diddy Kong Racing)! Nice to see this game get widescreen mode as well.

Oh s***.

That's neat.

Looking forward to playing this one. Never got a chance when it first came out.

Awesome, my top N64 game is back. Yes, Banjo-Tooie is my favorite N64 game somehow.

Here's hoping they can eventually add Grunty's Revenge and Banjo-Pilot, both from the Game Boy Advance.

The more Rare games, the better.

Was hoping for it, had rented it back in the day but never really got to experience it.

How the heck did they get it in wide screen? What's a guy gotta do to get that on all the n64 titles?

I really hope the Switch 2 doesn't force updated software to the front and keep it there - the OCD is strong and having to enter 'n exit 12 things I use because 1 got scrolled off drives me up a wall.

Microsoft cutting another deal with the N. Have this on Xbox but will be nice to have on Switch as well!

@HammerGalladeBro
I’m surprised the GBA Banjo games are not included in Rare Replay. I think all the characters in both games are owned by Rare/ Microsoft.

"THERE! Now will you PLEASE kindly shut the hell up about it!?"

Well, it's about time. I'm excited to finally get to play it, but it really shouldn't have taken them nearly three years after we got the first one. Hopefully we won't have to wait another three years for Diddy Kong Racing.

And it's here, finally! Would be great to see Nuts and Bolts added someday, even though it's a direct competitor to TOTK 😜

@shoeses As someone who is diagnosed with it myself, that sounds like textbook OCD, alright. Hope yours isn't as debilitating as mine was before medicating; it can make life complete hell.

@obijuankanoobie I'm guessing that some N64 games had widescreen capabilities, if you had a screen that could support it.

@obijuankanoobie Maybe it's a straight port of the Rare Replay version?

LAG CENTRAL AHOY, DAWGS!! WHOS READY FOR A WORSE FRAMERATE THAN OCARINA OF TIME?!

@obijuankanoobie Jet Force Gemini on NSO uses widescreen.

Awww yeah, here we go. Best Rare game on the N64 (after DKR).

That's legit cool! I've never played either of these games, so I may have to give them a try now.

@batmanbud2 I had no idea! I'll have to try it out. I guess I haven't played it on there!

@Ulysses that sounds probable! Crazy that for 3D all stars nintendo didn't do that with Mario 64 but rare did for one of their N64 titles.

cool pick tho Ive only played the first game. as mentioned we really need diddy kong racing.

my first thought was “oh, Pastellioli, is gonna be thrilled” cause pretty sure they like banjo haha :3

Yeeehawww boy!!! Hock-Tooie that thang!!!

::GIF OF JONAH HILL SCREAMING::

Never played this, so awesome! However, would have liked DKR or DK64.

Can't wait for everyone to witness the horrors of Canary Mary

Not really super fond of Banjo-Kazooie - it's fine, I guess - but this is pretty overdue.

I’d die a happy whatchacallit if we got some HD remasters of these classics.

I'm so happy about this!

Say what you want about NSO, N64 re-releases were so limited before, the fact that Microsoft owning these games doesn't negate my nostalgia for Banjo being a Nintendo franchise, at that time, is just a wonderful feeling. It just feels right.

This is cool. I played through the 1st game when it came to NSO, likely do the same with this one.

Very glad to see this one added! I second that we need as much Rare as we can get, particularly Donkey Kong 64 and Diddy Kong Racing.

This has renewed my hopes and dreams of getting Diddy Kong Racing on NSO one day

Widescreen mode is awesome, lets get this on all N64 titles past and upcoming now.

This game is truly incredible. The gameplay variety is insane. It contains a whole high quality fps. It's massive.

I'm so hyped

@coolioam hopefully they'll at least fix jet force gemini's widescreen

@VHSGREMLIN technically these ports are in HD.

At least now we're getting close to Donkey Kong 64 and Diddy Kong Racing.

Yes!!!!!!!!!! Now please give us a third game please!!! Xbox should collaborate with Nintendo.
And bring Grunty’s Revenge to the GBA too please!

That's great news. Now, if we could only get a new Banjo Kazooie game. The amount of far lesser popular franchises that have got to make a comeback with new games over the past decade while Banjo Kazooie continues to get nothing is very disappointing.

@Serpenterror They had Donkey Kong 64 on the Nintendo eShop on Wii U but surprisingly not Diddy Kong Racing.

Excellent, my third most played game (after Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie) from back in the N64 days.

@DollyrotsFan1 If they continue NSO onto the Switch 2 I'm sure we'll see Diddy Kong Racing at some point. We didn't get it on Wii U cause Virtual Console on Wii U weren't that successful not to mention it was discontinued too soon.

@obijuankanoobie A good number of Rare games on N64 had native widescreen support, including this one. The others were Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mickey's Speedway, Donkey Kong 64 and Jet Force Gemini.

Never played a banjo game collection fest trash

Another great game locked behind a subscription and no legal alternative to play it on modern hardware and keep indefinitely.

@Serpenterror Hopefully you are right. Yeah. The Wii U wasn't very successful but the Virtual Console was one of the things I liked the most on it 'cause it had a lot of games from different consoles including many they don't have on Switch.

I hope we get more Gamecube, Wii and Wii U games on Switch 2 especially Yoshi's Woolly World which was my favourite game on the Wii U which sadly didn't get re-released for Switch and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Oh yes,
freaking yes!

I remember this one making me laugh so much as a teen. That dark, Snarky humor is here in bucketloads!

And it's huuuge, everything is interconnected!

There's also a pretty meaty set of multiplayer minigames to choose from too!

I've wrecked our home computer in the 00's trying to replay this and it still only half worked. Been praying for it to return properly ever since! 😂🤎

About time, I've played Banjo-Kazooie for the third time recently on NSO and wondered when Tooie is being added. In my opinion it's the better Banjo and will play it day one

Yoooo, thats sick

The wide-screen option on Jet Force Gemini was implemented incorrectly on the NSO version. Hopefully this won't have the same problem.

I'm telling you-when ever Nintendo patch the Switch for 'stability' it means a new NSO game is imminent.

Excellent. How about Conkers Bad Fur Day next?

I thought this was already on there haha? I've got it on N64 anyway.

This game was awesome. Back in the day when Rare was making games on par with (and arguably better than) Nintendo itself.

Not a fan of this one, it's got very bloated over large level designs, just doesn't have the same magic of the 1st one for me.

Excellent! I've only ever played the first couple of hours of this but have been wanting to for decades. I always thought people were more down on this than the original so good to see so much love in the comments!

What a way to start a Friday. Great news.

Did anyone else see this has a T for Teen rating?

Hooray - Well I'm more than slightly pleased about this, I was starting to wonder if it would ever arrive. 😀 This is great news. (I just hope the wide-screen is implemented correctly)

Never was the biggest fan of this series, but it's good to see it here regardless, definitely one of the N64 greats!

Wahoo, I ruddy love Banjo and Kazooie I do. Question for people here who have played the N64 games on Switch - do the controls work alright in handheld with the joy-con?

There are still two major problems with the Switch online catalogue.

1. They need to provide an option to get rid of thoss awful side borders on all games.

2. Customisable controls for each individual game ala Wii U.

Surely these are not that hard to implement?

P.S. And give me Diddy Kong Racing already!

YES! Oh well sorry backlog you are going to have to wait

@demacho you know what I meant, dude.

@Ooccoo_Jr not so much. You’re better off getting a wireless N64 Controller.

@batmanbud2 Goldeneye does too.

İ remember very good. My first game was Super Mario 64. My second game was Banjo-Kazooie. My third game was Zelda Ocarina of Time. My fourth game was Jet Force Gemini.

İ had not the chance to play Banjo-Tooie.
İ think it is a good game. The problem was that Banjo-Tooie came at the end life time from N64. İt came a little late. İ was not interesting in this game.

@Serpenterror They weren't on Virtual Console because Microsoft wasn't allowing them to be back in those days.

@Ulysses I was playing both Banjo titles on Xbox and it is difficult to go back to the N64 version afterwards. Its blocky and chugs. A shame Ninty can’t update these games on the Switch to the same standard.

@JohnnyMind I think I remember hearing something that they had to bump it up because of the blood in the Lord Woo Fak Fak boss battle actually

Ironically I picked up a loose copy of tooie recently 😂 looks like its been cleaned up a bit to run better. Nice birthday present for next week 😊

mm, DKR would have been so much better, really a game i wanted to try online (a major benefit of nso).. but hey, can't remeber the last time i played tooie so nice addition

aaaaand this is the moment I finally get the Nintendo online account.

Awesome I have been waiting on this one for awhile! I was wondering when they were going to add it!

Finally, they are going to add a major game to the library that is considered one of the best in the N64 era! I have gotten tired of Nintendo releasing no-name titles that I have never heard of. And now I wish that Nintendo adds Donkey Kong 64 to the library by December of this year to mark the 25th anniversary of that title's release.

Okay then that's nice though I'd rather get Conker and Diddy tbh.

Donkey and Tooie were actually the ones that I did not really care about but the other two, boy oh boy.

Also I'm very curious if they will give us Conker at all.

Def be playing this

LETS GOOOO
FINALLYY
Gods above this game was a major part of my childhood. I literally listen to and/or hum it's OST every so often.
Thank you Nintendo and Microsoft, very cool!

Excellent news. I still wish we got rare replay updated with some classic Nintendo games, but filling the Nintendo online up with the games works too. Hopefully next is conker. 🤞. I’d also love to see the 8 & 16 bit consoles get some more graphic display choices, namely a smooth option. I hacked my snes mini to use it where it converts the scan line one to remove the lines and it was perfect.

It's nice to see Microsoft and Nintendo cooperating, but I still want to see Diddy Kong Racing on both platforms. Since Nintendo owns Rare's Diddy, I hope that Nintendo is able to yield for once, especially considering that Donkey Kong 64 has Jet Pac and Microsoft has allowed Nintendo to keep releasing the game whole. Moreover, a remake would be nice. Diddy Kong Racing is better than any Mario Kart. I can't help seeing this as a way-one relationship. I have never expected to see MGM and Danjaq greenlighting before Nintendo. I always thought that Goldeneye 007 would be the game to be in limbo forever, but here we are.

@Ulysses Actually, the building mechanics in Nuts & Bolts are infinitely better than Tears of the Kingdom's. 😅

Really happy to see this! I never had the chance to play it on the Nintendo 64.

I played through nearly all of BK earlier this year. Unfortunately, it wasn't something I enjoyed. I own BT on xbox but I'm not sure I want to give it a chance. Especially if it's like BK.

@PikminMarioKirby I second this. I never played the DK 64 and wanted to, but I liked Diddy Kong Racing better than MarioKart at the time.

Hooray! I know Tooie is kind of an acquired taste compared to the original, but I always found the sprawling interconnected worlds very immersive. It's almost a Metroidvania more than it's a platformer. Tedious at times, perhaps, but I'm still super excited to revisit it on Switch!

@Zeebor15 Why the hostility? Joke or not, 33 months since the first game been available on NSO. 33 months! Players questioning Nintendo's slugish momentum in implementing the sequel to appear before now is understandable; even considering there's more work needed with getting another company like Rare/Microsoft for their cooperation. Ultimately, Nintendo is the ones who decide WHEN these titles launch on their service. They've been sitting on Tooie since BK's debut so they can strech their NSO releases so thin. At this rate, Nintendo won't release their own heavily requested titles on NSO like Smash 64, DK 64 before Switch 2 debut.

@Porky Because this is one of the games Demeechs and Arlos (Nintendo fans what are so hyper specific in their fixation disorders that they lambast anything that isn't a Mario spin-off or one of the 4 "good one" franchises as a waste of resources that could be going to more Mario) won't shut the hell up about despite it being mid at best.

I'm glad that there's one less thing for them to complain about.

This is fantastic news as I love the Banjo games. I just picked up a physical copy for the N64 (unboxed unfortunately) but its nice to have the ability to play this on the go on the switch now

@HammerGalladeBro really your top ? How did u manage the poor framerate? I got dizzy playing it on n64. Had to complete it on Xbox as I do love the series but even there the game is still complicated with so many quest and no sense back and forth so I had to use a guide to complete 100%. Good game but think the original is better. I even prefer dk64

This is great! I never really got into it first time around and it stretched the capabilities of the N64 too far for me to tolerate - looking forward to playing on NSO. Diddy Kong next yeah?

@JAPBOO The Xbox remasters are definitely better. Comparing the two N64 titles, Banjo-Tooie is quite complex, the characters split up occasionally, the worlds are more interconnected and some objectives are tricky. Banjo-Tooie is more difficult to navigate and complete than Banjo-Kazooie, but that also expands its longevity.

Banjo-Kazooie was one of my all-time favorite N64 games. I loved Banjo-Tooie as well, but I felt like it suffered a bit for having almost too much to find/collect, and the backtracking wasn't great.

However, I'm still super glad to see this game coming to NSO, and with widescreen mode! It's been long enough that I think I have to give this game another playthrough when it drops.

Wait, N64 games support widescreen?! Or is this an emulation change, because if so, they should allow the option for all N64 games if you want to toggle proper widescreen rendering (if possible)

Notice it says Nintendo of America and I live in Europe. We will get it too off course but not on the same day i don't think.

Maybe for Donkey Kong's birthday next year we will get the Game Boy games and the N64 game added to the Expansion

@Zeebor15 ...followed by thousands of fans screaming ""Where's Mother 3?"

I hadn't really thought of Banjo games as Halloween games, but you do fight a witch.

@Styrophoamicus that's one of the 4 "good ones"

Great news!! I always wanted to replay this one.
Sooooo... DK64 and Diddy Kong Racing next please?

I'm with everyone else clamoring for Diddy Kong Racing, but the fact that Nintendo dropped a bunch of wholly Rare-owned IPs on the service and still hasn't done DKR (which Nintendo and Rare both own pieces of) is telling. Does Miyamoto hold some kind of grudge over it? Do they not want kids looking up what Conker was in next? I have questions. Shame, too, 'cuz Diddy Kong Racing made me an N64 kid.

All that said, Banjo-Tooie was a good game-- way more compelling than DK64 in my book-- and loaded with refreshingly irreverent dialogue text. Banjo fumbling over how to tell Bottles' kids what happened to their dad, while Kazooie threatens to deliver the news much more bluntly, is a freaking hilarious scene.

(Quick addendum, btw: If the Analogue 3D ends up being a trustworthy product, I wouldn't drop another dime on the NSO Expansion Pack.)

@MikeP Tooie as a whole is darker toned than the first. Definitely a choice.

On a side note, though, the Analogue 3D being trustworthy doesn't matter to me because either way it's $250, $40 more than the Zelda Switch Lite (with 1 year of NSO + Expansion) that I literally just bought.

@Thomystic Tooie is also darker in tone. Bottles literally DIES.

@batmanbud2 Naw, that's fair. If you're getting what you want out of it, go for it.
I'm simply not crazy about the Expansion Pack's price, sometimes-erratic emulation, and limited selection. And the annual cost adds up. I got it when it launched, but I cut off my subscription last year. For someone who wants to look back on more N64 games whose licenses have long since expired-- and in theory, keep playing that stuff in the coming years-- the Analogue would be worth it.

@GameOtaku
iirc the version that was released on 360 and rare replay is backwards compatible with the latest xbox so it is technically on modern systems with a way to keep it but i do get where you are coming from with wanting an option to buy and keep legacy content on switch.

@GameOtaku @Mgalens Exactly. This service will always be a step down from the Virtual Console in my book. I would buy some of the games on the service individually just to keep them and play them in HD. But given all the issues people have had with visual glitches, poor button remapping, and the fact that Nintendo is reluctant to dive deeper than their own published titles (if even that deep), NSO is a raw deal.

@obijuankanoobie @BoFiS

Not sure about Tooie, but other Rare games on NSO, like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Jet Force Gemini, support widescreen because their original releases already did, out of the box. Most of us just didn't have the TVs back then to take advantage of those modes. So, in short: it depends on the game itself and is not an NSO feature.

That said, due to how these widescreen modes were programmed or configured at the time, the scaling on modern TVs can be hit or miss. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark work very well, but Jet Force Gemini requires some tweaking, stretching, and zooming to get it to look good. We'll see how Tooie fares.

This was one I was really hoping we would see before the end of the Switch cycle. On my dream list but I was uncertain if we would ever see it! I'm amazed at how much on Switch was on my 'distant dream's game list. Including RF3, Sonic 3D Blast (I know ...), etc. Just a phenomenal console and I'm happy to see BT as I introduced a friend to BK and she loved it.

@Mgalens @Beaucine Love to read you again on these topics. Yes, the Xbox 360 remasters are not just backwards compatible on Xbox One and Series, but they are part of Rare Replay and, like the other Xbox 360 titles included, have the native resolution upgraded (to 4K on Xbox One X and Series X).

@MikeP I agree about NSO, I'd rather play games I own in other ways. Fortunately, Rare's games play great on Xbox, just the Donkey Kong games are missing.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! And two days before my birthday. Thanks, Nintendo!!!

The slow trickle of N64 games on the service due to (A) the library being less than half the size of the NES and SNES and (B) the unfortunate issue of licensing and or royalties. Still, always great to get more titles to make use of my Nintendo Switch Online wireless N64 controller!

@batmanbud2 Bahh, it's all part of the experience...

@Banjo-
I’m not sure if cooperating is the right word. It seems like the cooperation is heavily in favor of Nintendo with Rareware games and characters being on Nintendo consoles but not the other way around. I wish this partnership would allow Microsoft to license Donkey Kong Country trilogy and DK 64 and Diddy Kong Racing for release on Xbox. I would buy them day one .

I’m pretty sure original Rare N64 games featured anamorphic widescreen so not proper native widescreen. Please correct me if I’m misremembering.

@JAPBOO Never really had an issue with the poor framerate. Yes, I noticed it, but never thought too much about it, as back then I was a kid with somewhat limited time to play to waste it on such things.

Not defending the game or anything, but I don't think the game is as bloated as people claim. The fact I had the patience for this and Donkey Kong 64 but not Yooka-Laylee should be telling of my patience.

I thought it was Nostalgia deciding that Banjo-Tooie is my favorite N64 game, but I played it again in 2021 (after not playing it in 20 years) and I realized that it still holds up that highly for me.
Per my comment about Bad Nostalgia on Time Extension, 2021 was the year I revisited Banjo-Tooie, Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo-Kazooie after more than 15 years.

Though I can understand why people prefer the original, it seems to be compared with Donkey Kong 64, but at least Banjo-Tooie doesn't make you change characters on the fly (beyond the split up or the occasional Mumbo magic) and makes you get everything in a world 5 times.

About the T rating, isn't that the rating for the NSO app and not Banjo-Tooie itself?
Granted I could see the rating bumping up to an E10+, but not a T. If that were the case, why Kirby games aren't T?
Then again, the Japanese Xbox 360 remasters of Kazooie and Tooie had a CERO B rating (12 and up).

@Don Exactly. It's a shame that Nintendo does not want to do the same. I find it even more egregious because Nintendo did not create Diddy nor anyone but Donkey, specifically the old version, not the current version, which they threw away and whose new version they thanked Rare for in the credits of Mario Kart 64.

@WheresWaveRace If I remember correctly some N64 games like Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo-Tooie have true widescreen aspect ratio.

@HammerGalladeBro I agree. Banjo-Tooie is more overwhelming than Banjo-Kazooie, but it has a lot of great ideas, some of them previously discarded because of storage and time limitations. It requires the player's dedication, but I don't think it's like Donkey Kong 64. Donkey Kong 64 is a prototype version of the open-world collectathons we are so used to see these days, so it was innovative in that sense 😅. Donkey Kong 64 is literally bloated because you need to replay each stage with each monkey if you want everything, while Banjo-Tooie is complex but unique. I also agree with your post on Time Extension, that I think I read back then.

@HammerGalladeBro all good. I was just getting dizzy playing it after only a few. Somehow sensitive to it while I played others such as doom in other consoles without issue back then while some friends couldn't even see me playing it.

Wow wow wow... At long last, a game from my Nintendo 64 "Sins of Not Playing" list returns! I said if Banjo-Tooie ever returned, I'd drop WHATEVER I was playing to run it. Time to make good on that promise to myself.

Just for fun, the other games on this list are:

Mischief Makers
Mega Man 64
Hybrid Heaven

#Liam_Doolan

"As highlighted in the video above, this particular version for Switch Online is "now in widescreen mode"."

The N64 version of Banjo Tooie had both 4:3 mode and widescreen mode.
Along with several other Rare games.

@WheresWaveRace Sorry, I have to post again because, where is Wave Race, indeed? One of the best IPs Nintendo has and the most neglected. It was my first GC game, in between.

A truly lovely game that is still perfectly playable to this day. I can’t wait to revisit it.

For retro enthusiasts like me this service offers great value for money.

@GameOtaku There really is no pleasing you

Didn't like the original B-K at all when I played through it on NSO. That said, I've heard there are considerable differences in the sequel, which makes me curious to see how they impact the experience for me.

@jetsetradion
Sure there is. If I had an option to buy them individually I’d be happy.

Banjo Tooie is really good!

@YoshiTails Same here. The first one is waaaayyy better. Still nice to have, though.

@Not_Soos Diddy Kong Racing is one of my favourite N64 games. I’m desperate for them to bring it to Switch!

I'll always remember Banjo-Tooie as a borrowed game: a friend bought it while I bought Majora's Mask, and we swapped for a couple of months to let each other play to completion. Perhaps because of that, it never stuck with me and always felt like a weird bizarro version of B-K, where you're always warping or shortcutting to get anywhere in the gigantic sprawling worlds, instead of learning them like the back of your hand.
And now we have it on Switch Online, another glorified rental situation. A proper Rare Replay would be so sweet, especially if it supported the N64 Online controller. But I'll definitely fire it up and give it an hour or two.

@VHSGREMLIN i do, i just wasn't sure if others seeing this convo who haven't used the service were aware that the games are rendered in HD.

It's mostly nice but it does make for a bit of disjointedness when the sharp polygons are contrasted against the decidedly not-HD textures

So freaking happy.

Nice that it's finally here, it's too bad we can't buy it though.

🥳🎉🎊🎈🎈🎊🎉🥳

Meanwhile @ Xbox .............crickets chirping

"Who cares about Banjo and Kazooie" - Random Xbox Guy

Can confirm it's way less laggy than the N64 original, about still not as smooth as the Xbox remaster.

When I booted up and let it run the attrack mode and saw it run on crack, I farted with laughter. Though it seems that was only for the attract mode, it even causes problems with the sequence of washing machine Banjo in Grunty Industries.
The normal game doesn't run that fast, though.

The fixed framerate cases some issues with the audio synch in the intro, but it's not as bad as in the Xbox version. At least the music plays when it's supposed to, just with a 1 second difference at most.

The widescreen is actually real widescreen, it somehow fixes the image itself when you set it to it. You notice the game goes to the original widescreen for a brief moment before it adjusts to what you'd expect.

Overall this is what I had wanted to see, the N64 original running better with proper widescreen.

How does it run? The First game on switch ran like complete crap.

Fantastic that this game is finally here!

@N64-ROX I played BT first and after that BK always felt like a cheap version of BT. I could also never get used to the colour scheme in BK, they really improved that part in BT. However, the final boss battle is so much better in BK.

Glorious way to start the weekend. Hopefully a sign of more to come

To anyone who has never played through this: Canary Mary adapts to your speed, so take it slow, and speed up in the last moments. This will save you tears and frustration.

@Not_Soos I guess what medication has helped you? Thanks

@NintendoLife shopto & cdkeys have fantastic price on NSO+ Family membership ! ~ £45 ! 🥳 that's 25% off the Nintendo price ! 🤩 and sharing the cost of that between 8 people 🤑 that's silly money 🥜 😂

@PineappleLake funny how that can happen! Sounds like sacrilege to me but I guess it all goes to show how personal and subjective people's gaming experiences are.

Not a bad choice for Halloween. Now with this back, I just need Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64 and Smash 64. I'm not surprised Tooie came first considering we already had Kazooie. Of course, for me it'll have to wait until after Splatoween in Splatoon 3...

@ShinG67

Yeah, I spent about a year in therapy, and it had my anxiety symptoms were up and down. I would make progress but then hit a brick wall. I was really reluctant to start medicating because I was scared of potential side effects, but I eventually took the plunge and it changed my life. OCD can still be a daily struggle, but after about 7 years of spending every day like I was in a waking nightmare, medication finally got me back to my old self.

I don't know if the results would have been this good without therapy and medicine in conjunction, though. I've heard that medicine by itself isn't very effective if you aren't also putting in the work to fix yourself, which can be almost impossible to do without a licensed professional coaching you through it.

I think there may have been a typo in your comment, so I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but in case you're wanting to know what medicine I take, I take 200mg of sertraline before bed, which is the generic name for Zoloft.

I don't know if you're just curious or if you or someone you know suffers from OCD. In case it's the latter, I wanted to answer as thoroughly as possible.

I would pay $100 for Rare Replay on Switch.

@Not_Soos apologies for the typo and thank you so much for your long reply. It was exactly what I was looking for. I’ve suffered from OCD my entire life and it is so debilitating I agree. I also agree you cannot talk you into getting better you need medication because it’s a legit chemical imbalance in your brain and my brain. I’ve actually started Sertraline and it has been helping so want to wish you all the best as well!

@batmanbud2 I know these aren't super narrative-focused, but that might be a bit of a spoiler.
