They were in marketing and coms right? Which is essentially a subjective reading of fixed data points - there are going to be different views which is why K&K were part of a wider team.
Having said that, I can’t say I don’t disagree with them. Obviously next week we’ll know more but at this point I’m not sure what MK9 can bring to the table. MK8 has spent the last 10 years feeling like the perfection of the formula, but I’m looking forward to finding out!
This is great! I never really got into it first time around and it stretched the capabilities of the N64 too far for me to tolerate - looking forward to playing on NSO. Diddy Kong next yeah?
@Daniel36 Someone asked this of Chris Scullion on Twitter and he believes it was removed from Rare Replay. I would imagine we’re getting a different build so we’ll have to see.
An animated Mario film, fine. But a live action Zelda… The creative team (sans Miyamoto) don’t exactly fill me with confidence, hope I’m wrong but this this feels too important to have the director of Maze Runner and the producer who tanked Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films involved.
@EarthboundBenjy Maybe the Wii remake? That's retro now! I know the history (Santa got me the first two games many many years ago) and wasn't commenting on the value proposition for the package on offer which is very fair, just that use of the word 'collection' that to me felt a little grand. My two-cents, A Boy and His Blob: Retro Compilation feels like a better fit for two games.
Last time Nintendo did an ambassador programme it was just something to pacify those impacted by a business decision they’d had to make. I think we know what’s going on, it’s a title to cushion the blow.
I never played Turok 3 back in the day after being let down by Turok 2 (N64 Magazine was well off in their review!). Nightdive made Turok 2 playable and I really enjoyed playing it on Switch so will give this a go when it launches.
I enjoyed the film more than the reviewer but yeah I would have preferred more detail in some areas and the pixel effects were overused (less would've been more there) but on the whole a pretty decent fun film. Give it a watch then return to this: https://youtu.be/_fQtxKmgJC8.
I’m so pleased to be able to play it again without having to unpack the N64 and messing with the retrotink. Finally the other NSO N64 pads can be unboxed!
The music in the full trailer sounds like elements are missing too, hoping it’s a deliberate (yet odd) choice for the media announcing its release. But as that’s two pieces of music with missing instruments I am a little apprehensive.

Re: Best Super Mario Games Of All Time
I didn't read the whole list, it's too subjective. Just wanted to check that SMW is at #1, which is the correct placement.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library Next Week
This is great! I never really got into it first time around and it stretched the capabilities of the N64 too far for me to tolerate - looking forward to playing on NSO. Diddy Kong next yeah?

Super Nintendo Switch 64.
Take it to the bank.
Re: Atlus Game Snowboard Kids Scores A New Vinyl Soundtrack
When I saw the image I hoped it was coming to NSO, but this soundtrack was a banger - very tempted by this.
Re: Five More Classic Rareware Games Come To Nintendo Switch Online Today
This is an awesome addition! I’m especially pleased to have Blast Corps and KI back. Top stuff!
Re: Microsoft To Share "Vision For The Future Of Xbox" Next Week
@Nontendo_4DS Totally, feels like Rare Replay’s natural home is Switch.
Re: Random: 'Resident Evil Kart' ROM Hack Brings Fixed Camera Angles To Super Mario Kart
Next do Tetris as a first-person shooter from the perspective of the falling block.
Re: Feature: 25 Nintendo 64 Games We'd Love To See Added To The Switch Online Expansion Pack
@Edd-O Yes, very well played!
Re: Feature: 25 Nintendo 64 Games We'd Love To See Added To The Switch Online Expansion Pack
Great list, those would be awesome on NSO.
I'm sure you meant ISS64 instead of ISS '98 - yeah the gameplay is a little tighter but at the cost of the commentator. "He's taking it all the way!".
Re: Nintendo Shares Hit Record High, Apparently Thanks To 'Switch 2' Fever
As a shareholder myself, cha-ching! Except I have them for sentimental reasons… 🤦🏾♂️
Re: Review: Turok 3: Shadow Of Oblivion (Switch) - A Quality Restoration Missing Its Multiplayer
There’s a typo in the last negative point:
If you like the prehistoric bits of Turok, there's not quite aS much here.

Re: Switch Online Is Expanding The N64 Library With Rare's Jet Force Gemini
This is a welcome surprise! I wonder if the ending will have been changed to remove the Jimmy Saville impression?
1080 then Blast Corps next yeah?.
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Is Officially Working On A Live-Action Legend Of Zelda Movie
An animated Mario film, fine. But a live action Zelda… The creative team (sans Miyamoto) don’t exactly fill me with confidence, hope I’m wrong but this this feels too important to have the director of Maze Runner and the producer who tanked Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films involved.
Re: Random: Nintendo Shows Off Mario Riding The Inchworm Pipe
Inchworm? I feel so seen.

Re: Exclusive: A Boy And His Blob: Retro Collection Bounces Onto Switch Soon
With just two games included they are stretching the word 'collection' a little!

Take note CEOs, I’d rather be described as a customer than a consumer.

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Service With GoldenEye 007
Dam - Clear
Facility - Clear
I’m so pleased to be able to play it again without having to unpack the N64 and messing with the retrotink. Finally the other NSO N64 pads can be unboxed!
Re: Iconic GoldenEye "Gong" Sound Potentially Missing From Switch Online Version
If they are missing it’s emulation rather than an artistic choice. It would be a little disappointing after 25 years.

The music in the full trailer sounds like elements are missing too, hoping it’s a deliberate (yet odd) choice for the media announcing its release. But as that’s two pieces of music with missing instruments I am a little apprehensive.

Waiting for GoldeneEye to be added to NSO.
Re: Best Of 2022: 25 Years Of GoldenEye 007 - 25 Facts You Didn't Know (Or Forgot You Knew)
Please stop posting articles about Goldeneye until it's on NSO, I see the artwork and think this must be it! My poor heart can't take this anymore...
Re: Atlus Remembers N64 Classic Snowboard Kids On Its 25th Anniversary
Sweet! Some banging tunes in the first game. Maybe add it to the N64 Switch Online app too, what do you say cowards?
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Service With Two More Titles
@Mattock1987 I agree.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online Library With Pilotwings 64
@Clyde_Radcliffe I play Goldeneye pretty regularly so there’s nothing to adjust to. I just want the convenience of having it on Switch.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online Library With Pilotwings 64
Pilotwings 64 is great. But it's not Goldeneye is it?
Re: Poll: What Switch Online N64 Game Are You Most Excited About?
