Tried using my Gamecube adapter recently for the first time in a while and had a bunch of issues. Restarted the Switch several times, it did eventually work one time but stopped working again later. Hope it gets fixed in the next update
@batmanbud2 That was during the Wii U era...so they weren't exactly wrong. I say that as somebody who still has a Wii U (and play it more than my Xbox Series console)
@RCGamer The mod kit is only for the OEM N64 controller, not for the NSO version. I think Wulff Den did a video where he modded the NSO one to replace the stick and it did not seem easy
@glennthefrog There are now a few games on NSO that have had alternate versions available for purchase on the Switch (Turok, Mega Man, Super Mario Bros, Link's Awakening) so maybe there is still some hope for Rare Replay
I've encountered the dizzy issue a couple times, but have been enjoying my time with the game so far. Of course it isn't going to run as well as the pc port.
Graslu knows this game and Goldeneye inside out, so no doubt they can easily pick out any issues
Just pre-ordered it on the eshop, looking forward to playing some this weekend. Only got the first FIFA game on the Switch, glad EA has finally made a new one.
If they were so excited for the promised dlc that they didn't play the game when they bought it, maybe they should've waited until the dlc was released before they bought it
@ZealMajin When it happened to me there was some black foam in the cart spot to make it look like there was a game if you look in through the side, so probably good to give it a shake before opening too
Happened to me with Metroid Dread. Took it back to the Walmart where I had gotten it and it was pretty obvious that they did not believe my story of a sealed game with no cart inside. Made it pretty satisfying when they insisted on opening the replacement before I left yhe store and it was also missing a cart (there was an audible gasp from the customer in line behind me). Fortunately, third time was the charm so I was able to leave with the game.
Was looking at the top selling Switch games recently. Minecraft and Monster Hunter Rise were the only non Nintendo games in the top 30, and Minecraft is the only one that has not had any sort of release exclusivity with regards to the Switch besides some Nintendo themed extras
This game was how I played Yellow as a kid since I did not have a Game Boy. The Switch was actually my first handheld system, but I did also get a 3DS a couple years ago.
Not sure how much I will play this beyond the mini games if there are no games for it to link to.
I'm hoping they get added to the NSO service, but feel like it is more likely that The Pokemon Company will have their own separate app with another subscription to be able to play the main line games
@xavieruniverse How great would it be if they shadow dropped Galaxy 2 around the time the movie comes out. Thought they might have an entirely new Mario game to go with it, but feel like they are saving that to launch with the next system.
Still enjoying playing it on Switch, almost through the campaign in Secret Agent difficulty. The small stutters on the Xbox version really bothered me after playing through the Switch version and not experiencing them. Played some 4 player deathmatch with my brother in law, nephew, and niece last night and it was a lot of fun. The old guys used N64 controllers and the kids used pro controllers after trying the N64 controllers for less than a minute.
Also love being able to play Goldeneye in handheld.
@eltomo I didn't come up with it but am happy to spread the word so more people can enjoy this game.
Probably going to use the N64 controller when playing online, I tried playing with a pro controller and it was pretty difficult since the default control option in the game was selected.
@eltomo I played through the entire campaign (on the easiest difficulty) in handheld mode, just had to remap the controls in the system menu to swap the left and right joysticks, ZL to ZR, L to ZR, A to L, and B to R, and then select the Solitaire control option in the game. Playing the game like this in handheld was lots of fun and very satisfying.
@Don It would be great if they remastered Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, Everything or Nothing, and From Russia with Love for modern consoles. Would also love to see The World is not Enough added to the NSO service.
It is kind of wild that Goldeneye is the only James Bond game that can be played on current generation consoles.

8bitdo SN30 Pro. Only drawback is that it doesn't have HD rumble for that extra magic when running over the musical notes.

Re: Poll: Have You Ordered Physical Switch Games That Came With The Cart Missing?
