@Rooty @JohnnyMind Agreed!

If 1-2 Switch had been a pack-in title, the price of the Switch would have been $350, not $300. I am glad we were not forced to buy that game. I prefer having a choice.

Reggie pushed hard for Wii Sports to be included. In Japan, Wii Sports was not a pack-in title.

And Wii Sports was a special kind of magic. Nintendo Land and 1-2 Switch were not killer apps. I will buy Welcome Tour, but I doubt it will match the popularity of Wii Sports.

@Ganner Good to know. Thanks!

I’ve heard goods things about it, but sounds like a lot of people are sleeping on it.

I really like the fairy tale narrative so far. 😊

I forgot to put Bayonetta Origins. Just got it and have started playing it. 😊

I am excited!

However, I hope they change the virtual cartridges so that we can share games over WiFi with our friends. My kids and my brothers live in different cities.

I am considering going all digital, but that is my one hang up. I am not a collector, but I do like to share my games.

@adh56 I think when you get the 30 tickets, you will have the option to unlock it from the themes page.

It had been a long time, but it should be similar to how you unlock the built-in themes (which are 15 tickets each).

If you still can’t unlock it after 30 tickets, make sure you have the latest update installed.

Besides bundles, has Nintendo ever discounted the subscription? I got six months of HBO Max for cheap in a Black Friday sale.

@IronMan30 Agreed. And the family plan is nice. I pay the subscription and share it with several family members.

I can also understand, though, if someone decides to not subscribe or only subscribe for a short time.

It is a bit of a gaming paradox. I collect all of the themes, but only return to play Tetris 99 in order to collect the new theme. So I never play the collected themes, except for when I unlock them.

@Suketoudara Surely they will have Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Pokémon Z-A themes, right? 🤞

@RID1EY I think Special Theme 21 is Pokémon Legends: Arceus. It was a difficult theme to play. The blocks blended in with the background making the gaps difficult to see at a glance.

@HammerGalladeBro Kirby Fighters 2 is one of my favorites. I didn’t even play the game, but the blocks are easy to see with the background (and I like the music).

@Anti-Matter When they said it had missions, I thought of LEGO City Undercover. 😊

@Teksette Yars Rising was a lot of fun! 🙂💯

@batmanbud2 Not sure how much of it is true, but I heard that Love Hotels might not be so scandalous. In small homes with multi-generational families living together, a Love Hotel could be a way for a couple to get some privacy and alone time. 🙂

@Ryu_Niiyama @Markiemania95 You beat me to it! Just saw your comments. I had the same thought. The kart is getting the mushroom boosts. 🙂

I am pretty sure he is shoving mushrooms into the kart engine.

@Pillowpants Well said! 💯

@AnonyQ Totally! A lot of fun. 😊

The first three levels are the most difficult, because Pit is at his weakest. Once you hit that first fortress, you can grind a little bit and buy upgrades in the shop.

Reaper’s Theme is stress inducing! 😉

@jfp Thanks for helping me to understand the issue with the blur better. 🙂

And I agree, they probably won’t make it an option.

@jfp Fair point, but I still don’t think it looks good. They should add the option to toggle off the blur (if it isn’t already an option).

@sanderev The blur is only a stylistic choice due to a limitation of their tools and the hardware. More of a compromise than a purposeful decision.

I was hoping they could improve it for Echoes of Wisdom.

I have finished both games, but find it a little distracting.

I wonder if they can fix the blur on the edges of the screen for Link’s Awakening and Echoes of Wisdom.

A step closer to Mario Paint. 😉

I am still playing regularly, but I am sort of between games. One part busy and one part waiting for Switch 2. 😊

@graviton It might be that they remember the last interaction you had. Not sure.

When they have been on my family members islands and move back to my island they are like, “Hey, remember meeting on that other island.” And I am thinking, “Actually, I met you on my island first.”

@graviton And it sort of takes me out of the game when they move away, move back, and then don’t remember already knowing me from before.

Having a larger variety of villagers move in would help, not just the ones that I have interacted with on other islands (which are often ones that already started on my island).

That said, I can accept that the continuity is already broken when Teddy is on both my island and a family members island.

@AussieMcBucket Nice! I have small work benches scattered around my island. I am never too far from one (and for visitors too).

I also have a few storage units placed around the island (which you can also carry in your pockets). 😊

Bulk crafting for sure! The crafting animation would not be so bad if you could craft items in bulk. 😊

I play Animal Crossing and Mario Kart with family in different cities, so this would be a nice change from talking over our phones.

However, I think I will be the only one with a Switch 2 at launch. 😂

Over time, though, I could see us doing this.

@Lism_Doolan Do you know if the GameCube controller sold out in NA? I haven’t received the email invite. Now (May 13th) it is listed as being available on June 5th.

And the steering wheels still say “Invite Required”. I expected everything to be be open for pre-order to NSO members after May 12th. Guess I am missing something. Thanks. 🙂

EDIT: I was able to but the NSO GameCube controller later in the day! 😊 The steering wheel, though, is still invite only.

@canaryfarmer @Navi I had just decided to finally buy the game. Looking forward to it.

@davowayman I thought the UK already had their invites. The invites for the US and Canada were delayed.

@Scarmucci Nope, no invitation for me yet. Though, I registered my interest later in the day.

I have a preorder with GameStop, but I still want to pick up a GameCube controller (which is also by invitation).

It really is a big deal. We never had Virtual Console GameCube games.

@DonkeyKongBigBoy Great question! Same for me. I love this genre, but I am rubbish at it. 😂

With the Game Share feature, I am considering going mostly digital.

Am I buying the GameCube controller only to have analog triggers for Sunshine’s F.L.U.D.D.? Yes, yes I am. 🤓

@jake1421 Good question. I don’t think it has been confirmed yet (i.e if the Switch 2 controller will work with Switch 1).

Screen protector.

The Virtual Boy LEDs also wipe your memory. 😉

@Vectrex The HD version also allows 12 pictures in the camera instead of just 3. The camera side quest is much more doable in the HD version.

But yeah, I will still probably run through the main game on NSO. 😊

It will sell well, but many will wait due to the higher price. Such as save up for it as a family Christmas gift.

Most of these are new to me. Thanks! 😊

Since I got my pre-order, I will forgo the Nintendo invite. Hopefully, someone else can benefit from the Nintendo reserves. 😊

@Scarmucci Yeah, I ended up going physically to GameStop since the website was bogged. Got the bundle pre-ordered. 😊

The Mario Kart World bundle may net them up to $30 profit, but that is all.

@ElkinFencer10 No worries! They announced a lot. And quickly. Blink, and you miss it. 😂

For reference (for everyone):
At launch:

• The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
• F-Zero GX
• Soul Calibur II

Confirmed for later:

• Super Mario Sunshine
• Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
• Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness
• Super Mario Strikers
• Chibi-Robo!
• Luigi's Mansion
• Pokémon Colosseum

@ElkinFencer10 Yeah, I don’t think they are including the games that have already been confirmed by Nintendo in the direct.

I played a lot of Simpsons Hit-n-Run (even replaying it on the Wii)!

And Super Monkey Ball 1&2. 😊

But I voted for Nintendo Puzzle Collection (which I had always hoped would come to the west), Rogue Squadron 2, and Animal Crossing.
