People originally said the NSO overview trailer was a test build likely with every ROM included but if the 5 leaked games in that trailer are actually coming I’ll be really happy (well 4 now since 1 happened) Excited for DK64 and Rayman 2 in particular. Hope Rayman 2 means we’ll see the GB and GBA Rayman games like on 3ds and WiiU
Reminder to everyone, lego leaks are as reliable as reliable can get unlike gaming leaks. Lego really doesn’t care about stuff getting out, sometimes years in advance.
At the end of Chibi-Robo on the Switch 2. After that I’ll try and finish Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice before Trails in the Sky: 1st Chapter releases. Maybe I’ll try and squeeze in Guacamelee.
@rvcolem1 I mean that’s because PlayStation isn’t the letter X. It’s the shape cross. Because PlayStation uses shapes… cross, triangle, square and circle.
Cue people responding to comments from 16 years ago by people that don’t even read NL anymore or tagging a critic that hasn’t written for NL in 15 years 🤪
Only half joking. Really enjoying this game so far. I missed my chance with a €80 copy a few years ago so I’m glad it hit NSO. Please let the overly expensive GCN games continue coming. Gotcha Force, Skies of Arcadia and Mario Super Sluggers next please.
I just want to know what Ace Attorney Apollo Justice Trilogy and Ace Attorney Investigations Collection sold since the former launched in early 2024. We haven’t had an update on those 2 since the first month sales of AA AJ T and the closest we got to one was the franchise as a whole selling over 1 million copies between late 2023 and late 2024.
@MasterGraveheart this didn’t happen when Sony invested in Epic Games stakes, neither in From Software stakes and in case of Square Enix stakes the exclusivity happened because Sony paid for partial development in the FF7R trilogy.
This won’t happen with Bandai either unless Sony outright buys exclusivity for a game which would’ve happened regardless of being a stake owner.
@9_10DOH64 he meant this is only DK’s second 3D platformer ever after years of exclusively 2D platformers and spin offs. We’re in no desperate need of a DKC6 atm and it’s only fair we got Bananza, a new 3D platformer, at the cost of DKC6, if it was at the cost of that game at all.
Playing Donkey Kong Bananza on the Switch 2 at the moment. I’m at layer 1.100. Also bought No More Heroes 1 and 2 last week on sale which I’ll be playing after. Besides that some more Fortnite on PS5
@SwitchplayerJohn “we are fast approaching autumn” Summer only started 23 days ago in the northern hemisphere, we still have a good 69 days of summer left.
They should atleast let us select regional versions to download. The reason the app is so bloated is because it downloads both the PAL and NTSC versions doubling its size.
This would make sense for something like Luigi’s Mansion where the extra mansion is completely different between regions but not for something like mario strikers where only the languages available differ.
He mentions in the video the input delay on NSO is 7-8 frames, on PC emulation is 4-5 frames and on original hardware is 3-4 frames.
That sounds like a very minimal difference to me TBH.
Edit: Although in the video he does say the emulation is great just not as perfect as it could be
Bought Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Edition on my Switch 2 yesterday. Also still enjoying my replay of Yakuza 0 through Yakuza 0 Directors Cut. Besides that I’m still playing Mario Kart World online with friends.
Been thinking about starting Odin Sphere on my Ps5 though.
This was known right? I thought Jim Ryan, Herman Hulst and other Sony people have said thos before? They see the NS1 (and presumably 2) as something Ps4 and Ps5 owners will own alongside their PlayStation IIRC, not instead of.
@N00BiSH Nintendo hasn’t credited music artists in a few games now, didn’t credit the original developers in several of their remakes and remasters and doesn’t credit the musicians for Nintendo Music. Also according to Nintendo their philosophy is the game soundtracks should speak for themselves, not the talent behind them.

@JohnnyMind headsup this chart covers 2 weeks as it was a national holiday in Japan last week.

@Simu001 you can swap left and right camera controls in the game’s emulation settings
Re: Review: Chibi-Robo (GameCube) - A Charming Game About An Altruistic Robot Or A Shambolic Scavenger Hunt?
@BTB20 sorry I meant Superstar Baseball (I assume you knew as I was talking about expensive GCN games). That’s like a €250 game in Europe.

Re: 'Bad Cheese' Is Another Survival Horror With Cuphead-Inspired Visuals
@Olliemar28 nope I read it after I commented based in the title 😂
My bad!
Re: 'Bad Cheese' Is Another Survival Horror With Cuphead-Inspired Visuals
“Cuphead inspired visuals”? You mean rubberhose artstyle? The artstyle cuphead got from stuff like merry melodies, looney tunes and the likes?
Re: Feature: 32 Games We're Dying To See On Switch 2
Marvel Tokon is probably the most unlikely since it’s Sony owned despite being developed by Arc Sys
DS2 I guess too but atleast DS1 got ported to Xbox.
Re: Mario Kart World Announces 'Summer Vacation Skill Test' Event
@ImpromptuR this is a Japanese game, japan is located in the northern hemisphere.

Re: Talking Point: Where On Earth Are The Switch 2 Soundtracks On Nintendo Music?
I use Nintendo Music daily although I wish NM would’ve been integrated with Spotify.
I don’t think we’ll see thes OSTs for a good while sadly.

@Vyacheslav333 OP is in its second to last arc atm. They’re probably waiting for the final arc to finish.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (9th August)
I’m currently playing through Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice on the Switch 2 alongside the new Fortnite season which is incredibly fun.
Beyond that I bought some indie games during the eShop Summer Sale.
Re: Best Lord Of The Rings Games, Ranked - Switch And Nintendo Systems
Hopefully we’ll get the mordor duology on Switch 2.
Copium for War in the North too.

Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice and Fortnite on the Switch 2
Not much else.
Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket Pulls New Expansion Card Art Amid Accusations Of Plagiarism
That sucks. Glad they’re pulling it.
Also I bet 10 bucks on people defending this because TPC owns the franchise and IP.

It’s cool the NS2 version has all dlc included in the base package
Re: Best Virtual Boy Games
@Aventurier this wasn’t a thing when I posted my comment 5 years ago 🙂
Edit: also my comment 5 years ago was about official releases. But regardless the homebrew ports weren’t a thing in 2020 either.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Donkey Kong Bananza?
Perfect 10/10 although I still prefer Odyssey overall.
That ending in DKB was just so perfect. Played 20 hours over 4 days and loved it!
Re: Random: Here's A Few Of Our Favourite Donkey Kong Bananza Easter Eggs
@batmanbud2 that’s not really an easter egg and rather a straight up huge spoiler assuming we’re talking about the same character
Re: Random: Here's A Few Of Our Favourite Donkey Kong Bananza Easter Eggs
@PJOReilly it’s Enguarde the Swordfish, not Enguarde the Shark.
Re: Opinion: Celebrating 20 Years Of Baseball In The Mushroom Kingdom
@mlt you mean a painta? Yeah that’s one of his 2 playable appearances alongside MKW.
Re: Opinion: Celebrating 20 Years Of Baseball In The Mushroom Kingdom
I found a copy for €80 (well below the european value) recently but didn’t have money.
Hope it comes to NSO.

@Pearl-NX soul Calibur 2 was 16+ on GCN and PEGI rerated it to 12+ for NSO
Re: Talking Point: With Bigger GameCube File Sizes, Should Nintendo Let Us Download Individual NSO Games?
They should atleast let us select regional versions to download. The reason the app is so bloated is because it downloads both the PAL and NTSC versions doubling its size.

Still insane we’re getting so many Sony games on Switch.
Horizon ZD and FW on NS2 next please Sony!
Re: Shuhei Yoshida Says Sony Doesn't Really Consider Nintendo As Competition
This was known right? I thought Jim Ryan, Herman Hulst and other Sony people have said thos before?
They see the NS1 (and presumably 2) as something Ps4 and Ps5 owners will own alongside their PlayStation IIRC, not instead of.

Re: Poll: Has Your Switch 2's Screen Got Any Nasty Scratches Yet?
Nope but I also don’t mind light wear and tear. Means the console was used well throughout its life (and I’m very careful with my devices).
