Love it. Had in on the N64 and loved doing it again on NSO 20 odd years later. Don't feel it needs a remake myself though, sorry! I would rather they do something new in the same vein though. This is the battle style Paper Mario needs again!

NA/EUROPE all the way.

Own up. Who is playing Balan? Does it deserve the drubbing it got? 😆

Hi All,

I am playing The Mysterious Murasame Castle on NES NSO. Tried it for the first time yesterday and really like it! It is like a cross between Pocky and Rocky, Goemon on the GB, and Ninja Gaiden. I think there are lots of games that get a bit overlooked on NES if you weren't of that generation. Some don't like the clunk and it might be too much of a step back to play, but I think I am bit more forgiving because the Nes was my first console. This said, this one is really fluid and fun for the era. Crazy that it was made 40 years ago nearly!

Have a good weekend!

Ollie's subheading titles are always on point.

@Arcata I was interested, but wanted this first. Also, have since been put off with reports off motion sickness. I get that very badly

@Res462 I wouldn't dare. Lol. Kirby at super hard is my limit.

@beartown "Side note, I still remember my evil laughter about all these reviewers calling this game easy. You can tell they haven't 100%-ed it."

Yep. Boss battles especially. The no damage ones are nightmares!

Despite having a Switch 2, I have yet to buy a proper Switch 2 game. Not sure if this quite counts as one, but intend to go the upgrade path and looking forward to it! Aside from the Paper Mario/RPG series, Yoshi and Kirby are my favourites from Nintendo.

Though, I should ask....any idea about how big the extra content is in terms of length? Like @Erigen, I have completed it 100 percent so just having better graphics and frame rate is not the selling point to me. If it is only 2 hours then it may not be quite as good value for someone like me.

It matters to me, dammit.

Likewise, the Green Yoshi in Yoshi games? That is ALWAYS the one that Mario is friends with. I don't see it any other way.

But....what are YOU up to Nintendo? 😁 Stop making us look over there.

I will be carrying on playing a bit of NINJA GAIDEN on NES NSO. Started it yesterday having never played it and found it really good. So fluid for a Nes title, especially the speed/jumping. It is very fun. They really knew how to get the best out of the Nes.

Also, going to see THE NAKED GUN at the cinema shortly. Love the films and tv series so I am excited for that.

Happy gaming all!

I like how it is similiar to Final Fantasy Adventure/Seiken Densetsu for Gameboy, but I have to agree with those saying it does not have an original bone in its body. From the voices, the looks, the mechanics, the story...it all looks so done before. I feel I have played it through and beaten it already. Also, the name is just so generic.

Kirby for me <(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)>

Well, I would like Visions of Mana, but I do not expect it!

***Has a vision of Visions of Mana For Switch 2***

And it is probably just that, but I will be watching just incase! 🤞

So.

It runs like Shire-t.

I don't see why they can't give us a free Switch version. I would have given it a go for that. Ah, well. Not a massive loss by the sound of it. Not a fan of the need to buy more and more to experience the full game. A DLC after the fact is one thing, to give new life or expand upon what came before, such as the upcoming Kirby Forgotten Land one, but don't launch it at launch with DLC to restrict the true experience behind pay walls. This could be free for those with NSO expansion pack.

NA/EUROPE for me.

@Unffclcntrllerpd Yes, it is a fantastic game indeed that never seems to stop updating with bits Mat Dickie adds to it! Growing up with the THQ games, it captures that feel well. He really is a one man army for what he achieves with his games. And thank you! 😁 As a wrestling and Nintendo fan, as minor role as it is in the grand scheme of things, it is still a career highlight for me.

I am good. 3 Mario Party games on NSO and I imagine the Gamecube versions might grace it at some point, or the GBA version even. That is enough for any Mario Partying for me. I would only be playing alone anyway.

@Unffclcntrllerpd I am glad you enjoy that. I voice the refs in that. Lol.

@MeatSauce Very interesting. Hmm. It is tempting indeed! Will look at prices.

Nintendo have been sorely underserved since the Gamecube on the wrestling front. How does the actual controls feel in comparison to the THQ N64 games? Is it more like the ACCLAIM games? I enjoyed SVR on WII, think it was 2009, despite it being a very much lesser version than the PS3 game.

@Jireland92 This. This I can accept. Yes. We will go will that. I feel better now.

I don't believe you, Mr. Nintendo. Why did you ruin my weekend?
They are. It is just....a secret. Or something.

Yes, yellow would have been a nice throwback, but are you looking at the cart while you are playing? Stick it in, close the hatch, enjoy.

Monkey see monkey DON'T do this.

@bobby_steurer I think you might be right that he might be right.

Kenny James feels like the Mike Pollock for Nintendo now!
Nintendo never replace Bowser, Sega never replace Eggman.

@Simu001 Oh, well. There goes my interest! Hah.

Will it be free on Switch too?

@puddinggirl Yep! 😁Nintendo games do indeed have that special effect that I can't quite pinpoint. Aside the fun, there is a soul soothing magic to them.

@1UP_MARIO So true. 🙂

As a complete aside, one of the very few species, aside humans, that play into adulthood and beyond are dogs.

Little to do with this, but just something I always find interesting.

Also, yes, I am as surprised as others that the age average is in the 30s. Well, I feel seen. Haha.

So much for Nintendo being the kiddies choice!

Kirby is the unifying factor in all this. Everything is Kirby and Kirby is everything.

Ooh.
This actually puts me off buying. I do. Badly. Don't do well on buses and cars. I am reading a lot about this. How strange!

Very interesting. Not sure how old she is, but this is her first credit on IMDb for a game/series/film. As others have said, I think her stock will rise very quickly and her credits will multiply from here.

Indeed, I thought it was Kate Higgins doing this one too. Impressive take! Presuming adult Pauline appears again, I wonder who will voice her going forward?

No, but really. I am actually interested. Loved Danger Mouse as a kid. Had a music cassette tape that I would listen to nearly every night with 2 stories on it. It was that, and we would alternate with my brother's Spider-Man tape. I don't know why it was every night, but we never got bored of them.

Alexander Armstrong is an excellent actor. Though I have not seen the revival series, I am still interested in keeping an eye on this one.

Cripes, Chief!

I will forever be sad that they didn't cast Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin in this role.

@Henchdog 😯Shocked Pikachu face.

HEY! YOU! Pikachu....for NSO Online...if you have SW2.

Hey, it has a microphone. 😁

I don't actually expect it, but all the other Pokemon N64 games came to it and we have the hardware for it...

@LastFootnote Me too! I'd happily take that as our Yoshi offering!

A Yoshi game please and thank you!😁
Hope so. Been holding off buying games for a while till they did the next big Direct so I might have a better idea of this year.

@ShieldHero Sounds about right. 😁 Thanks for the heads up.

@ShieldHero Where did you get access to the minutes of the meeting!? 🤣

@N00BiSH This is far more what fits him!

@glennthefrog I was not a fan of Seth Rogen's take either, but found it bearable enough. Fred Armisen as Cranky though? That really took me out. I just could not link that voice coming from him! It felt like it belonged to another character entirely for me.

Is North American Mickey threatening me! 😮

@NicolausCamp Ah, interesting. Thanks. Shame, sounds like one I would have enjoyed co-op with my brother as we loved the megadrive game.
