How about a patch that accurately records playtime?

No?

I’ve been losing playtime when viewing by most played with some games inexplicably dropping down in the list at random for no reason.

I preferred Kirby’s Pinball Land to Revenge of the Gator.

@BANJO It’s not worth it. Get a Game Boy Advance SP instead if you want to play old Game Boy cartridges.

While I do welcome the more obscure unknown titles coming to NSO, there are still many prominent games still yet to come to the service.

I was wanting to have an extensive library of games on each console supported, but it seems we are out of luck in that regard.

I can only hope that the Switch’s successor retains the NSO games library instead of completely scrapping it.

Apollo Justice Ace Attorney Trilogy is now on sale at 67% off.

@Ocaz Korone has quite the appealing personality though.

Put your hands up!
Put your, put your hands up!

Now can we have some Sega Genesis games next? It’s been too long. Or better yet, Sega 32X and Sega CD games.

@Sinton Wasn’t Sim City a launch title?

@OldManHermit UN Squadron is a licensed game so very unlikely to return.

America has the worst imo. I voted Japan as it’s the most chaotic and exciting, just like the game.

@-wc- I never said they were.

I said 100+ Game Boy, Game Boy Color, NES and SNES games is a better deal for the same cost as one Game Boy game and one NES game.

@Mgalens The NSO games are an incentive to pay for the service. They’re not going to reduce sales of the service by taking away the incentive to do so.

“Ownership” only becomes an issue when the Switch is at the end of its life and the service is on the verge of being shut down. At that time the Switch 2 will have been active for a few years with the same or an equivalent service. No you won’t be able to play NSO games on Switch 1 five - ten years from now but the games aren’t going anywhere. Nintendo will always be pushing them on us in some form or another.

100+ NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and SNES games for one year is worth the cost of this collection which only has one Game Boy game and one NES game.

This is why NSO is better. You get more games than buying them separately or in collections. You could have one year’s subscription to NSO for the cost of this collection, and no, you’re not going to want to keep playing these for long.

Is Nintendo preventing other publishers from releasing their GBA games on NSO or are they just not interested? It’s only been Nintendo published games so far.

@GameOtaku or simply getting internet at home is a more realistic option

@GameOtaku checking in online once a week has never been an issue for me.

Couldn’t enjoy Breath of the Wild. I found the game confusing and clunky. It was the prototype for the true game Tears of the Kingdom. Even after I played TotK for a long time then went back to BotW, having gained a new appreciation for the style of game, I just wasn’t having fun with it. And I actually didn’t notice reused maps in TotK, but granted I gave up on BotW so it didn’t bother me if there was a lot of reused locations.

BotW should never have existed and Nintendo should have continued working on it so TotK was the only game instead of there being two.

By the time the Switch’s lifespan comes to an end, people will be playing NSO games on their Switch 2 which hopefully retains the same games as on Switch and doesn’t have to restart the catalogue.

You can’t play your Wii, Wii U or 3DS VC games on Switch and who plays those consoles anymore? Those VC games are as good as lost if you don’t play the console they’re on, and the 3DS has too small of a screen compared to Switch so it’s no longer fun to play (VC games don’t fill the whole screen on 3DS). I did like the smoothing filter of GBA games on Wii U which is better than the Switch’s filter.

@GameOtaku

VC was miles better since you could pick and choose which games you wanted unlike this drip feed that some random employee thinks everyone wants.

Nope. I’d be spending a whole lot more with a Virtual Console per year compared to paying for the expansion pass. SNES games were £8, N64 were £10 I believe. Four VC games cost me more than the expansion pass, so where’s the benefit in a VC? There isn’t any.

I pay £25 a year for the expansion pass through shopto

There should really have been another one or two NSO games, even if they are throwaway Mario titles such as GB Mario & Yoshi and Alleyway.

@Spider-Kev Super Mario Bros. 4 was the subtitle for Super Mario World in Japan.

I’ll still be playing GB Dr. Mario.

Sunshine 2 please.

@KingMike Those aren’t Mario games so are excluded from MAR10 celebrations.

I still quite enjoy Card Fighters Clash.

I’d rather these be added to the NSO.

I hope this comes to NSO.

@Debo626 I’m saying that kids are more used to downloading apps now than they are playing cartridge and CD console games. So they’ll be more accepting of digital only consoles.

How much physical media do you have for your phones, or are you 100% digital downloads?

@NintndoNik

”I know I’m in the minority, but I actually like the drip feed of games - actually gives me the opportunity to finish the games, or at least put a fair amount of time into them.”

I’d like one new NSO game every week from any of the platforms. I also want TurboGrafx-16, Turbo CD, Sega CD, Sega 32X, Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear to be supported.

Monsieur, with these NSO games you're really spoiling us.

No love for the non-binary Transformers character Nightshade from Earthspark Expedition? I’ve not played it so I don’t know if the transform to their owl mode in the game.

I’d like the Virtual Boy games to come to NSO with a mock 3D effect.

I don’t think games that are based on real life celebrities, movies or need a translation should be on this list. Even for a hypothetical wish list, there is no way these will happen.

And just because a few games on the NSO did happen such as GoldenEye, Earthbound Zero and Quest For Camelot; that doesn’t mean that any such game can happen.

@sullivans2004
That boktal game sounds cool but two things.
One, the sensor on a cartridge wouldn't work as the cartridge is hidden inside the switch

I was thinking about that. The game could be connected to the internet and it would read the weather data for your area as if it was detecting the weather using the original sensor. But they wouldn’t modify the game like that. So that’s not going to happen either.

I don’t get why this reviewer has such a huge hang up against the pun names that the series is known for. They’re supposed to be made up foreign names but also have meaning and be memorable to the player.

Ahlbi Ur’Gaid = I’ll be your guide.
Paht Rohl = Patrol
Datz Are’bal = That’s a rebel
Pees'lubn Andistan'dhin = Peace, Love and Understanding

It would be worse if the names were incomprehensible words that have no meaning or relevance to the player. Nahyuta isn’t a pun name though and his name comes from Sanskrit. I found it interesting years ago to look up all the characters names and see what they mean.

@LikelySatan Arin Hanson has a hugely well known channel called GameGrumps which he has been running for the past ten years. While he’s not particularly wholesome, especially in the early days I think it’s fair to say he loves Disney Princesses… unless the game they’re in is of poor quality. While they do talk about movies, they don’t do episodes dedicated to review movies.

Mega Man X is my favourite of the series then X4. Reviewers at the time criticised it for not being like Super Metroid. Super Metroid is indeed the better game but I prefer Mega Man X.

If Ace Attorney makes someone uncomfortable, the problematic element isn’t with the game.

@Yosher That’s the direction they are slowly heading towards.

There are worse fighting games on the Genesis. It’s no SFII obviously but some enjoyment can be had.

@Mrbayram92 yes it’s out in the uk. I have it

Should have included XII at no extra cost for completionists sake even though XIII makes it redundant.

Ganondorf should definitely black.

@croz I don’t have a problem with the borders. You shouldn’t let such petty meaningless things get to you like that.

@Rykdrew

“ playing it on Switch controller must be so difficult. The level of precision in commands here is relentless.”

Yes it was. I never use joypads to play fighting games on Switch. I do love my 8BitDo SF controller though.

@Serpenterror

“ We already got the Orochi Saga collection which had KOF94-98 for the Wii and PS2,”

Those were terrible rough ports though. I wouldn’t recommend them at all. I much prefer the NeoGeo games on Switch.

@PtM who SNK is owned by has no relevance to the game. And he’s not going to lose money just because you don’t buy the game.

It’s like refusing to give a millionaire a penny because you don’t want them to become richer. I don’t think they care.

I’ll have to see how much it costs first before deciding to buy it. I had it on XBOX 360 and sold it but I am willing to buy it again on switch provided it’s an appropriate cost.

Mario Party 10 on Wii U has a game like this but in reverse. When two balls touch, they get smaller.
