Which is like remaking Super Mario Bros with only five worlds to streamline the experience and calling it better than the original that had eight worlds.

Doesn’t mean it won’t ever come. Just not right now.

@charliecarrot not really. Not when there are players who have been demanding Nintendo to make the NSO games available separately. If you don’t want to subscribe, there’s the remaster. If you don’t want to buy that and it does come to NSO, you can play it on NSO.

And I would like most of the first party Nintendo games to eventually come to NSO if they do not have licensing issues. Of course, I know some never will no matter how long the service is supported for.

Meanwhile Capcom is still making actual Mega Man games. Not as often as they used to, but new games are still being made.

@The_Nintendo_Expat localised refers to the translation. Locally released refers to when the game was available in the writer’s country at retail - as in they didn’t have to import it from another country that it was released in earlier.

@vitaminj but who in their right mind would still be playing a Wii?

@RazzBerryPie and doesn’t have the GameCube logo at the top

@Mana_Knight They did. No announcement or anything. We were lead to believe that the ten announced at launch would be the only ten until they were all added.

I’ll pay 35 toenail clippings for it and not a toenail more.

(toenail clippings being what the monsters use as currency among themselves)

@Zuljaras I see AI as using a car to travel to a destination, and not using AI is walking to the same destination on your own feet. It takes effort and time to do it yourself and much quicker to use a machine to reach your destination.

People in the 80s called videogames a passing fad.

@SuperBro64 required to play in 3D. We still don’t know if they can be played on TV in 2D without the headset

@TripleJump I agree that the Metroid Prime games should come to NSO, but Nintendo have demonstrated that they won’t release associated games on NSO alongside new releases. They didn’t release Donkey Kong 64 alongside Bananza.

@Vyacheslav333 it’s his fate to be dead before Street Fighter II.

@RoboCube

“ put some actual GameCube games people want”

People do want Fire Emblem. It’s quite a rare expensive game to buy the disc now so not feasible for players other than the most hardcore of collectors

“ put some of the better multiplayer ones I mean the whole point to this is playing it online with others”

It’s actually not in regards to NSO. There have been no emphasis for multi player games on NSO since it started.

“ Prime 4 just came out why not Prime 2?”

They would prefer you buy Prime 4.

“ You got goldeneye on n64 why not add Nightfire?”

Gearbox developed Nightfire and EA published it so no relation to Rare’s GoldenEye on N64. Nintendo pushed to get Goldeneye on NSO because it was one of their big name games. Nightfire wasn’t. EA hasn’t shown any interest in supporting the NSO and Nintendo can’t make them or release games on their behalf. Nightfire would fall under regular licensing issues. Nintendo was willing to pay the license fee for GoldenEye but that doesn’t open up the license to everyone else.

“ The GameCube always had a small library but it's ridiculous how little content Switch 2 offers for it”

It’s still relatively a new addition and they aren’t going to drop a lot of games in rapid succession due to how large the games are. The NES has had seven games in one day, but don’t expect the same for Gamecube which is about one a month.

“ my phone can play GC fine”

Publishers need to go through official channels to release games on NSO, not resort to an illegal ROM site. Each game added costs the publisher money to do so and GameCube games require extra attention to make the emulation is up to standard, and even then some players are still finding flaws with the emulation.

“ are they really gonna wait till Summer just to add Sunshine to Switch 2”

It’s expected to be released on Mario Day, March 10 (MAR 10)

@AverageGamer I would think more female players enjoy the gameplay of the Mario games than those who would refuse to play or don’t enjoy Mario games because they don’t like Mario being the character they play as.

@Pillowpants if you’ve never played a Dragon Quest game before, I’ll assume you have no interest in retro RPGs. While there are many improvements over the original NES games, I feel like you would think the HD-2D remakes to be outdated.

So perhaps play Dragon Quest XI.

I would use a Game Genie for my NES when I was young to make them easier and more fun for me.

So a lot more black bars in the Nintendo version?

@AStupidID “ It also STEALS art from artists to 'create' stuff, with no payment, citation or anything.”

And you think humans don’t steal / plagiarise from other artists?

All developers will be using AI eventually. It’s like how CGI surpassed traditional hand drawn animation.

@wiiwouldliketoplay AI is still in its infancy. CGI looked very rough back in the 80s and 90s too but now look at it.

The pixel art boxes looked good back in the mid 80s when you were first being introduced to videogames. Of course now we prefer full artwork

@mjhopkins81 but NSO games aren’t streamed. They have to be downloaded fully to be able to play them. And there would be no difference with lag if they were Virtual Console games instead.

@HammerGalladeBro I was wondering what Japan was getting this week

@Peach64 they’ve not outright said, but they seem to be going for a dumb meme movie

@PinderSchloss seriously. The games pronounce Ryu’s name in almost every game after Street Fighter II.

Game: “Re’yu”
Momoa: “I hear Raiyu”

@Markatron84 there are far worse games on GameCube than Wario World that make Wario World look like a masterpiece

@JayJ Have you forgotten Wario Land Shake on Wii?

@nib0 They don’t do games in order. They wanted a GBC game so released Wario Land 3. They wanted a GCN game so released Wario World. They’re not required to release the earlier games first but I’m sure they will come eventually.

@OldGamer999 that would be called a remake/remaster and can be found on the eshop not the NSO, which is only for straight ports. Stretching games to widescreen just looks horrible for some games that do so. I prefer to see more of the stage past the regular screen when they do wide screen like in Sonic Origins. But that isn’t what the NSO is for.

@OldGamer999

With NSO, I’ll take quantity over quality.

I would prefer the equivalent of one game every week regardless of quality as there will be an actual good game sometimes and even some of the poor or average games can be fun to try out at no extra cost that you wouldn’t pay for otherwise.

As opposed to only one game being released once every two or three months but is guaranteed to be a good game.

Plus I like to see the collection grow on each app.

I’m interested if the are low cost.

Not my choice for Christmas. But more N64 games is always a plus.

Conker’s Bad Fur Day is too offensive even for the Mature app.

@N8tiveT3ch there are no poultry in Mischief Makers

@NintendoWife Do you really think Nintendo isn’t going to bring over the NSO to the Switch 3? It will be fifteen years from now before the servers close if they do something completely different for their next console and don’t bring over downloads from Switch 1 & 2. So there’s no point worrying right now that you will no longer have access to your games in 2040.

@Don You’re really not paying attention to the state of the economy right now are you? When a single NeoGeo Pocket Color game costs $7 or $8 on the eShop, there is no way Nintendo would include all the Virtual Boy games on a physical cartridge bundled with the accessory and still keep the whole thing under $99.

@BrokenCiv Nintendo wants to sell Amiibo and give Amiibo owners something substantial for having one

@Henchdog OT2 is a far better game than OT1. Make sure to play it even if you don’t complete OT1.

Okay but why does everything look so tediously boring?

I was thinking how I’d like Game Boy Camera to come to NSO and that it would use the Switch App on your phone to function as the camera, although yes, it would still only show Game Boy Camera quality photos in the game. The game would be connected to the app to synchronise so that the game shows what you are taking a picture of with your phone in real time.

But if it never happens, no matter.

@swedetrap The Pokemon Company has apparently stated they don’t like the NSO’s save state and rewind features and think it would break the games and are concerned players would trade Pokemon then reload an earlier save state to duplicate the Pokemon.

@babybilly Nintendo still wants games to release in 2027 and later. Plus some games will never come to the service due to licensing and rights issues. No, they are not going to pay big money just to obtain the rights to release an old game on the service. Plus some publishers just aren’t interested in supporting the service.

I would ideally like a minimum of one game every week from any supported console so four games being released in one update is fine to me. A little frustrating that the update came almost a month after the previous update but still, November didn’t get overlooked after all.

I voted European because it reminds me of the box my original UK SNES came in.

I’ve been playing the Sega version this year and been enjoying it. I like Capcom and SNK but I won’t buy them at full price.

I believe big entertainment companies will be forcing AI produced content to be the new normal whether consumers accept it or not.

XBOX and XBOX 360 games on NSO please.

@TomSupreme we already have a lot of jobs replaced by machines. Even just using a computer is showing support for a world where humans are replaceable. Humans used to do the tasks that a computer can now do instantaneously.

I’d like a “Well excuuuuuse me, Princess” just once. They acknowledged the old 80s Mario cartoon in the Mario movie.

It’s a good remake but Octopath Traveller II is still the best of the HD 2D games.

@Moonvalley2006 none of those games are on the first ten confirmed releases. So no.

@Chimichanga Eternal Darkness wasn’t on the ten GC games that will be released first on NSO.
