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.
They shouldn’t complain about the low sales of Mario Rabbids 2. I bought the first game at launch and they discounted the price by over 50% only 3 months later. No way people will go through that again.
The classic games released under Switch Online and Expansion Pak should carry over to the next system. Nintendo has a bad habit of releasing all their classic games from scratch each time a new console is launched.
Why can’t Nintendo give us a compilation like this for Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, Kirby, Donkey Kong and Metroid instead of locking their retro games behind a vault or a paywall under a subscription plan?
Why aren’t there any options to purchase the games? Why can’t Nintendo offer a virtual console and subscription option for us to choose from? All retro games have to be behind a paywall. Nintendo needs a change of top managers to the executives who think like those in charge of Xbox team.
@nocdaes I’m hoping they would announce the release date at Game Awards later this week. Since we are only in the beginning of December there’s still hope Goldeneye will be released before the year ends.
Pokémon launch no longer feels special. The launch day for Pokémon Red and Blue for the first time in the West and Gold and Silver felt like long awaited special event filled with hype and excitement. Now a Pokémon game launch is pretty meh.
Jeff Grubb you said the remaster is coming. Don’t get us all hyped then go into silence mode refusing to take responsibility after your source leak failed to come true.
So many game companies are remastering and re-releasing their classic games on modern consoles either in compilations or individually. Except Nintendo, they just love to lock their classic games behind a paywall. In the meantime, their physical versions of classic games become more and more unaffordable for many gamers.

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: 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: Reminder: Metroid Prime Remastered Physical Version Out Now (US), Will You Be Getting It?
Good luck finding a copy. My preorder hasn’t shipped yet.

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.

Super Mario RPG sequel please.
Re: Poll: Which Of Rare's Classic N64 Games Would You Like To See On Switch Online?
Instead of having these games added to NSO, how about just release Rare Replay on the Switch?
Re: Review: GoldenEye 007 - Aged And Flawed, But Still A Masterpiece Of Game Design
Any chance of EA remastering their 007 games from 2001-2004?
Re: Random: This Nintendo Direct Feels Incredibly Quaint Just 10 Years On
When are GBA games coming to Expansion Pak? Where’s Goldeneye?
Re: Random: Pocket Card Jockey Director Is 'Sad' About The 3DS eShop Closure
Nintendo should migrate all the games on sale from Wii U and 3DS eShop to Switch eShop.
Re: Soapbox: Fire Emblem Engage's Nintendo NYC Launch Felt Pretty Unengaging
Is NYC safe to go visit now? I heard there’s a lot of crime and it’s dangerous, especially for Asians.
Re: Random: US Customs Mauls 'WATA Certified' Copy Of Pokémon Yellow
I know the customs sometimes have to inspect certain items to prevent the world from devastation, but this is a bit overboard.
Re: Ubisoft CEO Apologises For Internal Comments After Weak Software Sales

Re: Pokémon Cards Targeted In Series Of Trading Card Store Burglaries In Tokyo
Very shocking since any crime in general is rare in Japan.
Re: Feature: Our Gaming Predictions For 2023
As for Switch Online Expansion Pak, in addition to Game Boy and GBA, I hope an option to purchase the titles will also be added.
Re: Editorial: Happy New Year From All Of Us At Nintendo Life
@Azuris
I completely agree. But Nintendo made a mess of that with virtual console and I don’t trust them on that based on past records.
Re: Editorial: Happy New Year From All Of Us At Nintendo Life
The classic games released under Switch Online and Expansion Pak should carry over to the next system. Nintendo has a bad habit of releasing all their classic games from scratch each time a new console is launched.
Re: Best Of 2022: Which Is The Absolute Best Nintendo Console Generation?
@RudyC3
The GBC came out before N64 was discontinued. I think the N64 was discontinued after the GBA was released around late 2001/2002.
Re: Best Of 2022: Why Can't Nintendo Offer Both Virtual Console And Switch Online?
The answer is it’s Nintendo. They always have to go out of their way to frustrate their loyal fanbase.

Re: Four Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Have Been Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack

Re: Video: 11 Exciting New Games Coming to Nintendo Switch In December
Why didn’t they give a release date for Goldeneye? Are they waiting for the war in Ukraine to end before releasing it?
Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For The Premiere Of Super Mario Bros. Movie's Second Trailer

Re: Video: The Wii Is Now Old Enough To Drive
