Even if virtual console was still a thing and every game just announced was added 95% of people saying they would buy them and play them are absolutely full of it.
Something is fishy about this. All the years the Switch has been alive I've never seen a single retailer actually advertising the games on NSO. It's weird.
As an Australian none of the stores listed are that important to be honest.
They just piss money away having both an EB and a Zing in the same shopping centre. Moving to a bigger space and combining the two makes far too much sense I guess.
@Dom_31 That's why after the update was announced I made the hard choice to ditch 2 and bring in a couple of ugly losers. Don't even remember their names. One is a bird.
@UpsideDownRowlet People let nostalgia blind them and then throw a hissy fit when things don't live up to memories from around 20 years ago. It's an unwinnable battle.

Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets A Brand New Teaser With An Iconic Boss
@rvcolem1 Chris Pratt isn't annoying with his crappy acting in everything?
Re: Switch 2 Exclusive 'Orbitals' Mixes Anime Visuals And Co-Op Puzzle Platforming This Summer

Re: Interview: "Kids Don't Like Being Treated Like Kids" - How 4PGP Is Harnessing The Power Of Sega Rally's Director To Challenge Mario Kart
"I think there are people who have trouble connecting with the cute, highly stylised characters"
Yes and those people are huge red flags in the real world.
Re: Rumour: Xenoblade Chronicles Voice Actor Might Have Leaked Evidence Of A New Release
And now she'll never voice another character again...
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Sales Have Got Off To A Slow Start
Metroid is a niche IP and the general Nintendo customer doesn't give two hoots about it.
Pikmin is more popular, lol.
Re: Dispatch Uncensored Physical Switch Release Apparently Not Possible
Cause they are cheap.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Fails To Meets Sega's Expectations
Sonic will never be Mario and Sega will certainly never be Nintendo.

Re: UK Retailer GAME Closes All Standalone Stores As It Enters Administration
3 stores? Lol. Talk about hyping up a headline.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Is Getting A Themed MicroSD Express Card
You can get far cheaper micro SD cards on Amazon and the like. Who cares if it's branded, you're never going to see it inside the console.
Re: Review: Dispatch Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Cracking Superhero Caper, With Some Naughty Bits Covered Up
Sounds like NOA sticking it's nose in where it doesn't belong.
If they made a horror movie they'd decapitate as many teens as they wanted by zero would have sex.
Re: Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake Switch 2 Demo And Silent Hill f DLC Collab Announced
I forgot this remake was coming out. Can't wait. I love Fatal Frame.
Re: MLB The Show 26 Skips Switch 2 Release As Sony Sticks With Switch 1
@Friendly Sounds like it's always been a selfish insular country always looking inwards, never outwards towards the world.
Re: MLB The Show 26 Skips Switch 2 Release As Sony Sticks With Switch 1
Not surprised. Other than the USA and Japan baseball is an extremely niche sport.
Re: Two Cancelled Virtual Boy Games Coming To NSO In 2026, Including F-Zero Spin-Off
I mean always good to see lost/cancelled games resurface.
Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets Another Stunning Movie Poster
Nice touch of Yoshi looking at the audience.
Re: Rumour: Switch Online GameCube Releases Might Have Been Leaked
Something is fishy about this. All the years the Switch has been alive I've never seen a single retailer actually advertising the games on NSO. It's weird.
Re: Opinion: I'll Never Truly RIP Until 'The Séance Of Blake Manor' Comes To Switch
Companies still not prioritising Switch after PC is such a mistake.
Re: Industry Veteran Hideki Konno Has Apparently Left Nintendo After Four Decades
@AussieMcBucket Well yes, everyone ages.
Re: The Fable Reboot Is Reportedly "Under Consideration" For Switch 2
Can you just port the original ones?
Re: Japanese Charts: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Digs Up A Win On Switch 2
Almost 32,000. A small stadium worth of people buying a game that old is pretty good.
Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket's Next Expansion Looks Truly Fantastical
Yay! New set. Have everything besides some art rares so I'm ready to rip open something new.
Re: Mario Wonder's 'Real' Talking Flower Sounds Both Charming And Irritating
I want nothing to do with this demon spawn.

@roy130390 He's just a skinny Garfield.
Re: Switch 2 Remains The Fastest-Selling Console In The US At 4.4 Million Units
But but but Nintendo is doomed! Switch 2 is a flop, etc etc.
Re: Chris Pratt Supposedly Hints At "A Couple More" Character Surprises In The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
Other than Daisy and Yoshi we are running out of characters to care about.
Re: Nintendo Producer Kensuke Tanabe Has Seemingly Confirmed His Retirement
Removed
Re: Opinion: A Big Life Change Means I'm Happy To Wait For A Brand New Animal Crossing
I honestly believe we'll get a new Animal Crossing closer to 2030 than anything else.
Re: EB Games Is Closing Some Stores In Australia This Month
As an Australian none of the stores listed are that important to be honest.
They just piss money away having both an EB and a Zing in the same shopping centre. Moving to a bigger space and combining the two makes far too much sense I guess.
Re: Switch 2 Predicted To Follow In PlayStation And Xbox's Footsteps This Year With "Global Price Hike"
@BrokenCiv I thought we called it "Trump infested wasteland" now?
Re: Switch 2 Predicted To Follow In PlayStation And Xbox's Footsteps This Year With "Global Price Hike"
Gee thanks America.
And no that isn't hyperbole, the tariffs and most of the AI bubble is all their fault.
Re: "I'm Excited To Meet You" - Devon Pritchard Makes Her First Public Appearance As President Of NoA
America doesn't need a president. Other countries aren't afforded that luxury. It all should be run from Japan.
Re: Random: An 'Adults Only' Island Has Been Deleted From Animal Crossing: New Horizons
People who want to twist someone wholesome aimed at all audiences into something only for adults always turn out to be awful people.
Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Crafts Its Way Back Onto The Podium
Not bad for a game that old.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (DS)
I swear, some people here will vote for the NA version no matter what is on it.
Re: Random: Nintendo Apparently Wasn't Happy About Sonic's Foot Being In Front Of Mario's Foot
Mario is THE gaming icon, Sonic destroy it's own reputation with a truckload of crap embarrassing games. Mario should always be first.
Re: Random: Disney's Terrible DS Game 'Cory In The House' Is Now Selling For Hundreds Of Dollars On eBay
Pathetic meme for a pathetic white house.
Re: Mystery Product Code Sparks Rumours Of A New Switch 2 Model
I could easily see a limited edition Pokemon or Zelda anniversary Switch 2 coming.
Re: Review: Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Cheap Upgrade, But Lacking Substance
Can't put my finger on it but this review seems to have a bitterness and nastiness for no real good reason.
It also shows how far this place has fallen with Felix & Zion leaving.
Re: Nintendo's First Game Trial Of 2026 Is Exclusive To Switch 2 (North America)
LOL. The rest of the world ain't missing out on much. We will cope.
Re: Sophie Turner Looks Incredible As Lara Croft In Amazon's Tomb Raider Series
No no no. She looks like she's cosplaying for Halloween.
Re: Nintendo, Sony And Xbox Update "Safer Gaming" Principles
I blame the Roblox controversy and the World first social media laws that Australia introduced for all this crackdown.
Re: Boom! The Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 Update Is Now Available
@Mana_Knight Once your flowers are fully grown you don't need to water them ever again if you don't want to.
Re: Boom! The Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 Update Is Now Available
@Dom_31 That's why after the update was announced I made the hard choice to ditch 2 and bring in a couple of ugly losers. Don't even remember their names. One is a bird.
Re: Nintendo's Investors Are Reportedly "Spooked" As Stock Slides
Oh no! What ever will virtually debt free Nintendo do?
They could sit on their money like Smaug from the Hobbit and do nothing for a decade and still have billions in the bank.
More importantly where's the moderation? Can you can edit trolls like The Mule please?
Re: Hazelight Founder Josef Fares On EA: "Let's Be Honest, There's Not A Publisher In The World That Hasn't F****d Up"
Oh shut up. EA is straight up supervillain money hungry evil.
Re: Nintendo Music's Latest Update Adds Mario & Luigi Switch Soundtrack, Includes 94 Songs
@UpsideDownRowlet People let nostalgia blind them and then throw a hissy fit when things don't live up to memories from around 20 years ago. It's an unwinnable battle.
