@Clyde_Radcliffe I'd much rather pay less than £3 a month to get access to the whole library than the prices they charged on Virtual Console for this amount of games. I don't care if I don't own them forever, I don't intend to play most of these games for the rest of my life.”
I agree. And shopto.net sells the expansion pass for about £26, about £10 less than Nintendo does, which is where I buy my pass from.
I want to be able to attach two Switch 2 game screens so that you can use it in a DS formation. And you would also be able to have one game screen docked and the second can be used in the same way as a Wii U Game Pad.
Only one screen would be supplied and there would be games that only use one screen, but to get the most out of the console, you would have to buy two.
Five games in one month is good going for the NSO. I think there may still be an update on Friday too. The three MD games are not what I would have chosen but can’t complain.
these games wouldve been cool if nintendo didnt take nearly a year between every game drop no matter how big or small it is.
Nintendo is only responsible for their own games. Publishers have to approach Nintendo if and when they want to put their games on the service. If Sega or whoever doesn’t bother doing so, there’s nothing Nintendo can do. They certainly are not going to go chasing Sega to make them continue supporting the service.
I would be interested in hearing an interview with whoever it is who decides what games to put up on the service. There has been some odd choices and noticeable delays. Where is Sonic 1?
I imagine they want to keep people coming back to the service later by staggering releases. If they release all their good games first, people will play them and then not bother continuing to subscribe when there’s only bad and obscure games left to be added.
I had planned to swap cards back and forth with different games on each when I got my second SD card over a year ago but in practice, I don’t bother doing so. And now my larger second card is full too.
Okay I ordered this today. I use a SN30 8BitDo controller but it’s not suited for N64 games, not really. The N64 controller was too expensive to buy full price but I don’t mind at a discount.
I’d like to see Final Fantasy I & II HD-2D made with the same type of style. Sure the original NES games were basic and flawed, but a remake would correct what you don’t like about the original games.
“if someone tries to touch your game in a place or in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's no good! It's your game! No one has the right to touch your game if you don't want them to!”
can't wait for more crappy NES games I will never touch
I make it a commitment to play every game at least ten minutes. Even the crappy NES games.
It's cheaper and easier to buy them physically.
It’s really not. Checking out the costs of buying the original cartridge of some games is horrifying now how expensive they are. Paying for NSO and buying collections really is the way to go. Works out cheaper.
I wouldn’t call Alleyway bad. It’s simple and basic, yes; but I’ve enjoyed playing it on NSO. It may not set out to do much but it achieves what it set out to do. I’d rate it higher than 3
“Anticipate shoddy presentation, lousy controls, and/or a lack of ambition across the board.”
It may well lack ambition but I wouldn’t call the presentation shoddy or the controls lousy. I’d rather play Alleyway than most other games scoring 3/10.
I’d like to see an anthology series where each case has you playing a different character each time - Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, Athena Cykes, Ryunosuke Naruhodo, and Miles Edgeworth. Each case would be set at different points in the overall timeline and victims and murderers could return. So the likes of Cindy Stone could return who was killed at the start of the very first game in a new story set before the first game.
@Ulysses I’m hoping for any third party games. They have all been Nintendo published games. Either third party publishers are not interested in supporting the GBA or else they are restricted by Nintendo not to support it.
Edgeworth would never kill anyone. Falsely finding someone guilty by using fabricated evidence resulting in their execution is another matter though. That he would do.
Mega Evolutions for Pokemon with less than three evolutionary stages should become regular normal evolutions without any of the restrictions or benefits that comes from being a Mega Evolution. You don’t have to make them hold an item and don’t have any stat boosts.
Mega Gyarados would now just become a regular third stage evolved form. However Charizard would not be able to become Mega Charizard as that line already has three stages.
If Mega Evolutions were to return then the regular third stage Mega Gyarados could have a further evolution, a Mega Mega Gyarados, but Mega Evolutions repurposed as regular evolutions would have a new name but still look the same.

Re: Three Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Have Been Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack
I only pay the equivalent of $31 USD (£25) a year for the expansion pass because of a deal an online shop has (shopto.net).

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Another Classic
It’s odd that they release a game today so soon after DKL1. It makes me think there may still be a release on Friday.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Another Classic
They’re not going to make a new game just because it’s the anniversary. They’ll do so when they feel the time is right in their development schedule.
think about all the games celebrating their 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th or 35th anniversary every year.
While I agree that a new Donkey Kong game is wanted, I don’t want them to rush out some crappy attempt just to say they did something.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Another Classic
So hopefully Donkey Kong Land 3 on Wednesday and Donkey Kong 64 on Friday?
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Another Classic
I’m hoping for more Donkey Kong games next week and this is just the start of a larger celebration
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Another Classic
@vio because it’s a different game to Country. Land 2 and 3 were just Country 2 & 3 cut down to fit the Game Boy though. Land 1 is its own thing.

“Oh now the slow drip is getting worse!”
April - five games
May - three games
June - seven games
July - ten games
August - one game
September - four games
October - two games
I consider a rate of an average of one game per week from any console to be acceptable. And October isn’t over yet.
