I wonder if Nintendo will release this game in Russia. Despite saying they stop selling games there, their Russian site still gets updated advertising the latest games including Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
For everyone complaining about this game’s difficulty with rental Pokémon, remember it’s not about win or lose, it’s the path you choose, let the journey begin!
I’m surprised by some commenting about the nostalgia for western version boxart. I always thought I’m one of the oldest gamer here and most of us here are Gen Z and younger.
I like the Japanese artwork much better. Super Mario Bros. 3 Japanese box art is even more superior. Never understood why NOA didn’t used the Japanese artwork for Super Mario Bros. games.
Hopefully if an invasion of Taiwan happens between now and April 21 there won’t be another postponement. Not that I am indifferent about another invasion but wars happen everywhere and delaying a game will not help any country involved in the war.
I remember in the mid 2000s Microsoft expressed interest in buying Nintendo but Yamauchi refused. One thing is almost certain, if Microsoft acquired Nintendo, they most likely would have made Nintendo’s classic games very accessible and carried over to successor generation consoles.
@Mgalens I agree 100% but since it looks like Nintendo is locking access to retro games in a subscription format NSO is the only format we can count on at this time. Maybe we will be allowed to transfer Pokémon from Gen 1-3 in NSO to Gen 9 like how they could be transferred from virtual console versions to Gen 7. That way we can at least preserve the Pokémon collected. I hope in the future Nintendo will give us the option to purchase games from the NSO retro catalog.
If Gen 1 and 2 come to Switch I hope it’s to purchase and not part of NSO. Otherwise eventually all the Pokémon and badges will one day disappear when Nintendo discontinues NSO.
Since they didn’t add any N64 games this month, today would have been perfect to add Pokémon Stadium. But since they didn’t announce Gen 1 or 2-3, do you guys think they will eventually add/ release them on Switch?
@Ulysses I agree but I was hoping for at least Gen 1 given the disclaimer taken down from Stadium trailer about Pokémon cannot be transferred and I guess the classic games were heavily rumored/ hyped/ the Presents announcement playing Gen 1 music and showing 151 original Pokémon
I’m curious as to whether Mother 3 will again be released only in Japan on GBA NSO. I would say it’s basically the last hope of the West getting an official release. Outside of a remake I don’t think we will ever see Mother 3 if it only gets a Japan release on NSO.
Is there’s a possibility of Nintendo giving us the option to buy the games before they eventually discontinue the service? I don’t want to lose my save data in the games on NSO.
@RupeeClock I actually hope the games will arrive via eShop instead of NSO. If they get put on NSO we will eventually lose all of our Pokémon and badges when the games disappear when Nintendo eventually discontinues the service.

Re: Switch Online Adds Pokémon Stadium To The Nintendo 64 Library Today, Out Now
I checked my Switch, it’s not out yet. Maybe in Japan?
Re: Switch Online Adds Pokémon Stadium To The Nintendo 64 Library Today, Out Now
I assume we will eventually get Gen 1-3 on Switch?

@KBuckley27
I meant a General Direct. Never cared for partner presentations.
Re: Nintendo Live 2023 Announced For Seattle In September
Are we likely to see a Direct this June in the absence of E3?
Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Stars Discuss Who Should Play Wario In Possible Sequel
I rather have Wart, Birdo and Mouser in the sequel since it’s going to be Super Mario Bros. 2.
Re: Video: Let's Discuss The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Is it better than the Super Mario cartoons? I really enjoyed those.

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Library With Another Game Next Week
They should have released this on virtual console.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Library With Another Game Next Week
@Heartless666
I don’t think they made it hard to get people to buy the transfer pak. The accessory was included with Stadium.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Library With Another Game Next Week
Do you guys think they will eventually release the Game Boy Pokémon games on NSO?

Re: Random: YouTuber Spends Nearly $23K Buying Every 3DS & Wii U eShop Game
If he has a ton of subscribers $23,000 is probably not a lot of money to him.

Where did you see the leak about Pokémon Gen 3 coming to NSO?

Re: Reminder: Catch All The Pokémon Games On 3DS & Wii U Before The eShop Closure
Do you guys think in addition to Gen 1 and 2 we will also get Ruby/ Sapphire/ Emerald and Fire Red/ Leaf Green eventually on Switch?

Re: Capcom Reminds Monster Hunter Fans To Grab 3DS & Wii U Entries Before eShop Closure
I would get them all but I maxed out on the storage for both systems with virtual console games.
Re: Bowser Defends $70 Zelda Pricing, Nintendo Still "Very Bullish" About Switch
JNL Games offer it for $60. I preordered all my games from them, fast shipping and delivery.
Re: Random: Check Out The Director's Cut Of Metroid Fusion's Weird Live-Action Commercial
Why can’t there be a purchase option? If Nintendo wants to keep people subscribed then make it a requirement to be a subscriber to purchase.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online Game Boy Advance Service March 9th
I’m desperately hoping Nintendo will let us buy some of these games on the retro games app before they eventually remove them in the distant future.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet DLC, The Hidden Treasure Of Area Zero, Coming Later This Year
@RubyCarbuncle
It doesn’t help articles, Youtubers and “leakers” hype up expectations.
Re: Reminder: Today Is Your Last Chance To Get Fire Emblem Fates On 3DS eShop
Maybe Nintendo will put Revelations on 3DS NSO app whenever that comes out

Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet DLC, The Hidden Treasure Of Area Zero, Coming Later This Year
Sigh, was really hoping for Gen 1-3 on NSO. I guess rental only Pokémon for Stadium on NSO?
Re: Nintendo Uploads New Switch Online Overview Trailer, Game Boy Now Included
I’m curious as to whether Mother 3 will again be released only in Japan on GBA NSO. I would say it’s basically the last hope of the West getting an official release. Outside of a remake I don’t think we will ever see Mother 3 if it only gets a Japan release on NSO.
Re: Brand New Pokémon Animated Short 'Journey Of Dreams' Comes To China Next Week
Not to nitpick but they need to officially release the Pokémon video games before releasing the movies in China.

Re: 'Pokémon Presents' Showcase Announced For Next Week, 27th February 2023
I wonder when Black and White remakes will be released. Probably not this year.

Nintendo should migrate all the games on sale from Wii U and 3DS eShop to Switch eShop.
