@YoshiAngemon Yep, I’d wager that whoever was involved in making this webpage got NSO and Nintendo Music offerings mixed up.

Interesting how much smaller/more crowded some areas feel in the Switch 2 version. I definitely noticed not having as much room to run around while fighting Dead Hand, but it made the fight feel more exciting.

Anyone who buys these and doesn't receive the rarer "chaos energy" cartridges will be disappointed, which is a shame given the steep cost.

I got hooked on it for about a week and then never went back to it, so I think a week trial is perfect for a lot of people.

Man I hate these deluxe packs. What’s the fun in collecting cards you’ve essentially already collected?

Kind of an odd choice to put both words on the same line. Using such a long logo will be tricky for them to fit on some merchandise without making it really small.

Kinda funny they chose a glasses-related accessory with Virtual Boy branding given all the claims of VB-induced eye strain. Had to get it though, love me some VB.

@MrFuchsle I played just the opening for the first time the other night and have to agree. I usually hate tutorials in games, but it was odd to be suddenly thrown on a flying dinosaur with no instructions all while being shot at even though there’s no apparent health bar.

Maybe a hot take, but I think it’s a bit silly to celebrate these franchise anniversaries every five years. Especially when the anniversaries often don’t to live up to people’s expectations.

Directs only happen a couple of times a year, and web traffic keeps the lights on at NL so they can keep giving us content. You all really need to quit complaining.

It’ll probably never happen since the game lacks name recognition, but I enjoyed D-Hopper so much that I’d love a modern sequel. I think it could fit in nicely with all the Zelda-inspired indie games we’ve been seeing, like Mina the Hollower.

Looks like I'm gonna have to do some final shiny hunting in Crystal before this service shuts down.

@BaldB3lper78 press and hold the right joystick on your controller and a menu will open where you can change the color settings. If you have the VB stand, you’ll need to also physically remove the red lens from the hardware.

This has been my favorite VB game, beating even Wario. It's nice having something with more of a story on the system since so many of the others feel more like pick-up-and-play arcade games.

I've been able to play VB games for much longer durations of time with the new color filter options, sooo much better than the harsh red.

I've played a bit of Dragon Hopper, so far it's up there with Wario as being the best games on VB. The Game Boy Color filter also makes playing for longer periods of time much more tolerable.

@BrokenCiv I like my Alarmo, but I'd agree that it wasn't worth the $100. If it were somehow able to sync up with Nintendo Music and allow you use its library in your alarms/sleepy sounds, then I'd think it was worth it.

The Japanese art looks more like something from the Wii era with how minimal and white it is.

I wish they’d have a non-megas option for online battles, or at least give you more ranked points if you win using non-meta cards. It’s getting dull battling the same types of decks, and now we’re about to see a lot of Mega Rayquaza.

Close enough, welcome back Sky Battles.

@Grim Snowboard Kids 2 didn't release in NA? I rented it about a hundred times in small-town Missouri as a kid.

I love the art style of this game, but much of what they've shown makes it look very slow paced. Hopefully most of the game plays more like the last 20 seconds of that trailer.

I'm a big Mario Tennis fan and tried out Mario's Tennis last night. Man, I was not expecting myself to be so bad at it. I'll need to get used to the mechanics/controls, but it's got some really nice sprite work.

My main complaint with these games has always been with how they pretend Johto Pokémon don't exist until the post-game. Would it really hurt anything to give us the option to evolve Golbat before the Elite Four? It's also odd that the Dark type exists, but we have no Dark type Pokémon to use for the majority of the game.

@Pally356 HitClips. My sister had them, they were a fun but impractical novelty even back then.

Glad they’ve left the borders around the game blank, I’m always afraid that the border design in NSO games will burn into my OLED TV screen.

Fever gets criticized a lot for its solo player experience, but I don't think it's much worse than 64 in that department. I grew up with and love 64, but I think its placement is a bit high.

@rjejr ZL + ZR will open a menu where you can create/load save states, return to the game selection, etc.

I’m nearly finished with it, this game has scratched my Paper Mario itch more than Bug Fables did. It’s got excellent mechanics and a really fun plot.

@8bitKirby there’s nothing wrong with having options, nearly every Nintendo system has given us different color options for controllers. Nothing is stopping someone from buying the original colors if that’s what they want.

I don’t understand why so much of the discourse online is calling this a waste of money. The target market for these are families needing an extra set or people needing to replace JoyCons. It’s only a waste if someone’s buying these and doesn’t need a new set, and even then, that’s their choice.

While I'm glad I only have to buy one system these days, I miss when the graphical capabilities between handhelds and home consoles were so different that handheld games ended up being a completely different experience. It's a shame they've not been able to incorporate some of those RPG elements of the earlier handheld entries, but this game does look decent otherwise.

Much better than a plant.

Interesting to see Jigglypuff get so much spotlight on something this big, but I'm not mad about it.

@Don Can confirm that people were complaining about the price of Virtual Console games and were constantly asking for a "Netflix-style" subscription service.

I've grown to like and accept NSO, especially since it means we're not starting from scratch with the available games every time a new console comes out. But I do wish they'd have kept Virtual Console as an option alongside NSO for times like this when an expensive purchase will become unusable after the service ends.

@Tyranexx Wish I could experience PM64 for the first time again. Bug Fables is a pretty solid spiritual successor, but it's just not the same.

From what we’ve seen so far, this movie looks like it borrows more from Odyssey than it does Galaxy.

You know Nintendo is doing well when people can't stop talking about it, positive or negative. It was crickets back when they were actually flopping in the Wii U days (outside of the most diehard fans).

Yellow was my first video game ever, but I find Gen 1 so hard to return to nowadays. If Gen 1 comes to NSO, I hope FireRed/LeafGreen isn't too far behind.

@kmtrain83 Interestingly, the standard for movies is 24 FPS and has been since the 1920s/30s. 24 FPS is deeply ingrained in our brains when it comes to movies, so bumping it up to 60 FPS removes that "cinematic" rhythm and motion blur we've become accustomed to.

@Sirko If someone doesn’t read enough of the article to realize this isn’t a review of the full game, then that’s on them.

I’m very excited to finally be able to play VB games, I just hope they give you some display options. I’m not gonna get my hopes up for full color or anything, but it would be nice to change the harsh red to a softer color.

It's actually amazing that GameShare looks to work with Switch 1 consoles. Also, why are so few people talking about Baby Waluigi??

@Yosher That’s my problem too, Ring Fit isn’t very suitable for apartment living. Plus I feel too bad for my downstairs neighbors to really do some of the exercises.

Haha when are the OG starters not shown love?

Since this expensive peripheral is required, I really hope the whole library drops at once rather than the usual drip feed.

@Yoshi3 As much as I loved BOTW, I cannot wait for the end of this era of every major game needing an open world.

Some of the design elements remind me of Suicune and Lopunny, but it actually works well.

@Max_the_German I’m not sure a limited time sale counts as swallowing the tariffs.

Zeraora is probably the most forgettable mythical for me, but hopefully this DLC gives it a good plot/lore to make it stand out more.
