@Fizza Dang, I guess they never really had a need to add it in to this point, but it would be really great if they made it work, given how old the service is. Thanks for the answer!

So does the NSO emulator emulate multitap or can you only have two human players in that one?

Fun article, I disagree. Others have mentioned that it conveys excitement in Japanese, and I'd like to mention one more example: Doki Doki Literature Club! To me, the exclamation point immediately implies excitement in a Japanese way, which I believe is the intention, since it's actually an American game. I cringe thinking about some of those titles sometimes, but I think the punctuation still says something important about the game.

And the Nintendo examples you mentioned all feel fine as they are - "Showtime!" is usually said as a one-word exclamation in English anyway. It feels natural.

@Uncle_Franklin Interestingly, that one was actually real. Interesting timing for that announcement for sure

GamExplain has a pretty good one, I think it'd actually be a sick game

Going to see Dune with friends, and I'd wager there may be some Smash Ultimate after that. If not, more Sonic 06 and maybe team adjustments in Pokémon Scarlet.

Just wanted to point out that only the Charizard raid is a rerun, Venusaur and Blastoise are new.

ASMR Lootboxes: The Game

"Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac is real" is practically a daily affirmation for me. I WANT TO BELIEVE.

Otherwise, Silksong would be dope, but I'll be glad to see HFR and Penny. Looking forward to it!

Noticed this is Oliver Revolta's first review on here - I'm always glad to see new contributors so we can have a wider variety of games covered.

@DogDetective The whole game got delayed a week for extra polish. Some people in the community think that the Switch cart release got delayed further as a result of that delay. Either way, it was only a month tops between initial release and the cart (someone in the game's Discord sent a picture of the cart a month ago) - odds are they always intended to launch with a cart until some logistical issue convinced them to go code-in-box first.

Glad I spotted this in the NASB Discord, I'll be picking it up soon

I liked the original, and I liked Toby Fox's contributions to this soundtrack in the base game, but after listening to this, the phrase "rinse and repeat" has lost any meaning. Maybe it sounds better in-game, I don't uet have the DLC.

So excited to yell "SANS MYURDERED MADELINE" at my family in my best Conductor voice, 10/10 Cosmicube. Also, it's somehow not a paid-only one, that's wild to me

I think there is something valuable to be said about an "indie feel." But is TGA's goal to highlight outstanding "indie-feel" games or to highlight outstanding games made without large amounts of financial backing? Are we celebrating a genre that evokes a mood, or are we celebrating less-privileged devs who beat the odds?

If they want to do an "indie-feel" category in the future, they totally should - I like quite a few indie-feel games - but Dave the Diver isn't an indie game.

Ah, this is the costume that was accidentally patched in to existing versions about a month ago and then quickly patched out, guess we know why now

I use YouTube on my phone most, then my computer, then my Switch...so not essential, I suppose, but I really do enjoy watching some Pokémon VGC matches on a bigger screen in bed or at the table every once in a while. I'd love for Disney+ to come too.

I guess I'm just assuming Nintendo goes for another hybrid console next - it feels like a given but hasn't actually been confirmed, and if it's not, I doubt I'll see a need for streaming apps on it.

Not gonna lie, if these are in a paid-only Cosmicube, I'm probably buying it. I see Hat Kid, and I'm down to see what the rest are! (The shovel got me hyped for Shovel Knight, but I'm not sure that's what that one is.)

As a kid, my copy of Pokémon Yellow went through the washer. The cartridge still worked, but I think the battery died a short while afterward - maybe I'll need to replace it when I go home for Christmas...

Based on this review, I get everyone wanting to give this game a pass, but keep in mind that NL understandably reviewed only the Switch version. The game's getting quite a few 8/10 reviews, presumably from outlets that played on other consoles (IGN even gave it a 9/10).

Fingers crossed that Switch performance gets patched, because I doubt my PC will run this any better.

@Serpenterror All the playable characters have it, at least. The first game has had voiceover for over a year, too.

Would be tempting if I had an Apple device. Fingers crossed it gets ported, but I don't think Hardlight's games really have a history of console releases.

@Princess_Lilly It isn't free-to-play, but the original plan was for it to become free-to-play when it left early access. This is no longer the case, it will remain a pay-to-play game. Anyone who has already played it has paid for it and will be able to continue to play it.

I voted for SMB2, but only because I knew most everyone else would vote for Lost Levels (which I agree with). I enjoyed some of SMB2 but gave up on it a while back, probably around the ice world.

I'm proud to say I've beaten the Perfect Run in SMG2, though. Extremely predictable and difficult is my kind of challenge level, I think.

I beat Dicey Dungeons' last Halloween episode last night. Today will probably just be Blissey raids with family in Scarlet.

Interested in Composer World. I have Rytmik on 3DS, but I'd be intrigued to see if this one has more composition options.

Code-in-box is a big hit to my enthusiasm for this one. I'll still get it at some point, but it'll either be on a digital sale or in an eventual cartridge.

Me and my family still play together once a month or so. That being said, we've given up on the non-Skeld maps pretty quickly because my mom doesn't know where everything is in them. Fingers crossed this one will be different!

I wonder if it would happen if you had the opposite version's legendary in the Dex. Probably not, but this is such a weird bug.

Wild that he thinks Nintendo's future exists "off their own hardware." If this were ever to actually happen, I think any console produced would be Nintendo-branded with Nintendo-like innovation and maybe Xbox's power - certainly not an Xbox that just happens to play Nintendo games with a standard controller.

If we're lucky (which we're not, since he's a character on the show), this game will be average. And yet I want a physical copy anyway, because I think it would look great next to Metroid Prime Remastered on my shelf.

I like F-Zero 99 quite a bit! The "Coming Soon" on the practice mode track select makes me excited for future updates.

That being said, I'd love to see another Switch Online freebie that's co-op rather than competitive. There's plenty of online competitive games on Switch already.

The poll doesn't include F-Zero 99...

Possibly the highlight of the Direct for me. I have it on Steam but haven't really played it a ton. I think I'll double-dip on Switch for the multiplayer and go for actually trying to 100% it on PC.

@JeanPaul There are enough mechanical differences that the devs essentially built a new game. Lots of reworking of mechanics - for example, last game had only three specials and aerial attack directions (neutral, up, and down - grounded attacks also had dash as a "direction"), air dashing instead of air dodging, no sidestep dodging, and you couldn't roll dodge except out of a tech. The biggest one is that last game had digital directional inputs - as in, you only ever move one speed no matter how much you move the Control Stick (made dash attacks tricky to pull off and, for my money, is maybe the biggest turn-off for people who come from a Smash background).

This game changes all the things I just mentioned to be a lot closer to Smash - 4 specials, 5 aerial directions, rolling and sidestep dodging, etc. Plus it adds the Slime Meter, including both super moves and all the other stuff it adds to the game.

I like these showcases, they help to sustain hype even with the roster leaks.

If they do end up having all four Turtles and bring back Shredder too (April's already confirmed), TMNT will be the Fire Emblem of NASB, and that's really funny to me.

Amazed that a game that features Knuckles as a meme character is actually being allowed on the eShop.

But on topic, Virgo Versus the Zodiac seems kinda dope.

My first Zeldas! My family got them from another family when they moved, and the battery on Seasons was dead, so the farthest I got in a linked game was 3 dungeons into Seasons after finishing Ages. But now I can really finish them!

"This process repeats every day until Monday morning when, at the start of every week, your Snorlax will then leave and you have to start again with a new Snorlax which has different meal tastes and preferred berries. Essentially, you're starting from scratch but with increased ranks, improved dishes and upgraded Helper Pokémon, which helps speed up the process and makes tasks easier each week..."

So it's a roguelite? Pokemon Sleep is a roguelite.

Didn't even realize an update was on the way for it! It's a fun one!

@fromjtov Dope, thanks for that

Interesting that you can manually delete your sound recordings. Can you tell us what data is shared with the devs or third parties? (The Play Store has a notice for each app in that regard.)

I know it would never happen, but it sure would be neat for all these games made for retro hardware to also come to NSO.

"Hooligan Simulator - San Gangster Andreas Fight for City, Battle Gangs, Shooter, Police" is the best Switch game title now.

It's $8 on Steam, and honestly it looks like it's worth at least that much! Cute and very tricky. Would be neat to have split-screen, though I know it might reveal trap locations.

Code TREASUREHUNT gives a Friend Ball, huh? Because maybe the real treasure is the friends we made along the way.

The only thing I'm hoping for is Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac. If Katamari can get more remasters, Pac-Man should be able to as well. Everything else will be a bonus.

@Serpenterror It is a complete port; the DLC was meant to restore the content that was cut from all previous versions of the game due to time constraints.

Literally asked myself if there was any reason NL would be pranking us today when I saw this on the homepage.

I'm amazed and confused.

So if I understand correctly, you can actually transfer Pokémon from Gen VIII to Gen IX and back, or just go from IX to VIII? You haven't been able to do backwards, two-way transfers since Gen I and II, so that's neat.
